The Blacklist

Chapter 438 Taking the initiative to close the case early
After some guiding questions, Carrie learned that Ava came here to inform the CIA of a conspiracy to attack the United States, and the BND had a suspect...

Ava's assistant then gave the man's information to Carrie.

In addition, Ava’s assistant said that the person who planned the attack on Director Ziegler was most likely the far-right organization “Black Fist”, because the BND has been cracking down on it severely, and the “Black Fist” has launched attacks on BND senior officials in the country many times!
This visit to Ava yielded two important clues, which was a good harvest. After returning to the post office, Carrie immediately began to arrange an investigation.
-
Nawabi found that the Black Fist organization's main activities are in Germany, occasionally appearing in Europe, but never in the United States. She believes that if the attack on the BND director was indeed planned by the organization, it means that its strategy has changed significantly, which requires extra attention.

Carrie, however, did not think it was strange. He just asked her to write it down and put it in the SER database and pay ordinary attention to it - because he knew that at least this attack had nothing to do with the "Black Fist" organization.

As for the suspect information given to him by Ava's assistant, it was the focus of Carrie's attention. He asked Alam to investigate it and find out his identity.

Christopher Miles, a former British MI6 agent, later became an employee of the United Nations New York Headquarters Security Department. He was at the scene of the last bombing operation carried out by Bastien! Now consider the two things together. If the BND intelligence is correct, then Christopher is very likely to have participated in Bastien's operation at that time.

Under Carrie's order, Elizabeth and Dembe led the field operations team to Columbia Heights and raided Christopher's residence, only to find him lying in the house with serious injuries. Before he died, he said that a USB flash drive hidden in the safe had been stolen, which contained the action plan to attack the United States, and he also said the unlocking password...

Although he got the password to open the USB drive, Christopher was dead and it was useless without the USB drive.

Elizabeth arranged for the local police to search the area around the block, and she returned to the post office with the detectives in disappointment and told Carrie about the situation.

Carrie felt a little regretful. He had changed too much of the previous plot. It turned out that the killer who appeared at this time should be Bastian who escaped from the United Nations bombing, but in this world, he had already been killed by him on the spot, so he didn't know who the murderer was now.

Fortunately, he knew who planned the assassination of the BND director in the original plot - DOJ Deputy Director Anna McMahan, but now there is no direct evidence to catch her, so he can only find another way.
-
That night, under the cover of Gina, Kerry sneaked into Deputy Minister Anna's home. When she saw a tall and strong man in a suit about to hand a USB flash drive to her, she immediately appeared!

The tall man in the suit was quite skilled and had obviously received rigorous special operations training. However, he didn't even have time to complete two moves in front of Carrie before he was easily knocked to the ground and then shot in the left chest with a PPK equipped with a silencer!

Then, Carrie raised his gun to signal, and Anna, who was trembling beside him, sat on the sofa, then picked up the USB drive and connected it to her mobile phone, entered the password "digitalglove", and unlocked the file...

The USB drive contained a single folder called the Princip Initiative - a name derived from the Bosnian who killed Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, ultimately leading to the outbreak of World War I.

In the folder was a video: A commercial cloud storage service provider revealed to BND Director Ava a plan to assassinate the current US President Palmer, and the mastermind was DOJ Deputy Minister Anna... After watching the video, Kerry turned his head and looked at Anna on the sofa. This 40-year-old woman with red hair and blue eyes was strong enough to lead the assassination of the president! Of course, he didn't believe that this was just her personal will, and there must be someone behind it.

Then, he used his reading skills to interrogate Anna and discovered that the person behind her was the "Warhammer" organization that had been exposed before - a secret alliance composed of 12 arms companies from all over the world!

As long as the root cause was found, Carrie stood up and wanted to kill Anna directly, but after seeing the body of the tall man in a suit, she changed her mind and went forward to search his body. As expected, she found out that he was a senior agent of DOJ.

After using the DOJ agent's Type 17 to shoot Anna, I arranged to put the PPK in Anna's hand, making it look like she shot the agent first, and then the agent shot her again before dying! I also copied the USB drive and put the original in Anna's pajama pocket...
-
The next morning, the post office received a report from the DOJ: its deputy minister Anna was killed in her own home, but the DOJ was very secretive about the specific circumstances, only saying that Anna died in an accident!

Kerry received a call from Donald, saying that he learned from the National Security Council that Anna was plotting to assassinate the president. The real cause of her death was that she got Christopher's USB drive and tried to silence him, and she and a senior DOJ agent shot each other to death! In order to protect the reputation of the government, the president has ordered a blockade of the news and closed the case.

Among the people in the post office, except Gina who knew the truth, everyone else was surprised and disappointed by the result. They felt that this case seemed to be anticlimactic.

However, to be honest, this result is still very good for the people in the post office, because after the case is closed quickly, it will not delay their moving plans.
-
On Monday, June 6, the SLR and SER departments began a large-scale migration. There were more than 3 official cars, private cars, buses, vans, etc. In order not to attract too much attention, they were divided into five batches and headed for New York.

The service personnel who arrived earlier had already planned the office space of the "Tanglou", marked parking spaces on the ground and underground parking lots, arranged rentals for everyone, and the restaurant was also put into operation;
The technical department has debugged all servers and office equipment, and the new command center and communication center are online;

The supervisors of the two departments led the teams and successfully completed the migration within one day...

In the following week, the staff of the two departments spent half a day getting used to the new office environment, and half a day settling in their own residences and lives and adapting to the environment. Everything went in an orderly manner.

Kerry's new office was located on the 12th floor of a tenement building. Just like when he was in the post office, this floor only had his office, lounge, reception room, conference room and storage room, except that it was a little higher.
