The Blacklist

Chapter 60: The Statue and the Six Kungurs
"Richard, listen to me, if that's the case, then the value of this thing is even higher! If you get more, there will definitely be a huge market and you will make a lot of money!" Reddington said very positively.

Kerry shook his head and said, "Because this thing is so magical, how difficult do you think it would be for me to get it? And supplying it to the market, I can't even dream of it!"

"Then give me two more bottles, one for Dembe and the other for him to keep. It can save lives if I or he is injured." said Reddington.

Huh? His words made Kerry look at him with a new eye. Under the influence of their quasi-combat partnership, he knew that the other party was telling the truth, so he said, "Okay, just two bottles, no more in the future!"

Seeing Carrie take out two more red bottles and hand them to Dembe, Reddington waved his hand with a reluctant look and said, "Dembe, drink one bottle quickly, and put that one away. I won't miss it if I can't see it!"

Hahahaha...the other three were amused by him.

After drinking a red bottle, Dembe also felt the improvement in his physical fitness, but not as obvious as Reddington's. He thought: This should be because his physical fitness was much better than Reddington's before. As for the other red bottle, he found a small metal box, put it in it solemnly, and put a lot of napkins in it to prevent shock, and then put it in his inner pocket.

The matter of the red bottle was over, and Reddington quickly returned to normal and started to talk about business: "Richard, my people found that a young woman is in frequent contact with Tom. I suspect she wants to seduce Tom, but I don't know why. However, I want to arrange a catch of the adultery so that Elizabeth will know that Tom is not a good person!"

"It's useless." Kerry shook his head and said, "Tom won't fall for this. This woman doesn't really want to seduce Tom. She is sent by the fourth party to monitor him! I don't know what conspiracy this fourth party is planning, but the arrival of this woman means that the conspiracy is about to begin."

It was the first time Gina heard Carrie and Reddington talking about Elizabeth's husband Tom, and she felt that it contained a lot of information! However, she was smart and knew that this was not the time to interrupt, so she ate quietly and listened.

Dembe knew a little more, but he was also surprised to hear Carrie's words. Of course, he didn't say anything.

After thinking for a moment, Reddington asked, "So what should we do now? Wait for this conspiracy to begin?"

"Old Lei, don't tell me that you didn't arrange for someone to investigate that new woman!" Carrie asked, "What has he found out now?"

"Hey! You're amazing. You know all this." Reddington hasn't realized yet that he has already trusted Carrie unconditionally. "At noon today, the person I arranged to investigate told me that the woman who approached Tom used the name 'Jolene Parker', and she is from Germany. She is currently applying for a job as an elementary school teacher at Tom's school... Well, this is obviously targeting Tom."

"It's Germany again, Lao Lei. Do you have any big enemies in Germany?" Carrie asked, "Like Garrick last time, the kind that wants to kill you!"

"I have quite a few enemies like this..." Reddington pondered, "But in Germany, I have the ability to hire Tom and make him betray my orders and those of the Major...

"And this time they sent a young woman who was also good at disguising herself to supervise Tom..." "It seems not! Wait, no, there is a person, he is not German, but his alias is 'Berlin', um, it must be him!"

Neither Dembe nor Gina had ever heard of this person, but Carrie was thinking: Well, after all the effort, I finally got in touch with this guy. It was not easy!

However, after mentioning "Berlin", Reddington was unwilling to talk more. After hurriedly finishing the meal, he said to Carrie: I have to go back and sort it out carefully, and then talk about it in detail. This matter is a bit big!

Of course, Carrie knew a huge secret behind this matter, so she nodded and agreed. At the same time, she also promised the other party that she would not touch Tom and the woman named Julianne for the time being and would wait for news from the other party.

In fact, this time Reddington had promised his former lover to help him steal an antique statue from the Turkish Embassy, ​​but at this time he had no intention of doing so at all. Compared with the threat from "Berlin", that matter was not worth mentioning!
But Carrie knew about this, and on his way home he thought about whether he should get involved. It seemed like it would be nice to get those six suitcases, even if he never used them, he could at least appreciate them!

By then, he would be considered a person with nuclear deterrence, and would be ranked among the top ten in the world in terms of the number of nuclear weapons. Moreover, the others on the list are all countries, but he is just an individual. Isn't that awesome!

On the evening of November 11, Saturday, the Turkish Embassy in the United States held a reception to entertain some well-connected American political and business figures. However, a small antique statue attracted several special people, including Reddington's old lover Madeline Pratt.

Madeline didn't get the help from Reddington as she wished, so she had to hire several special professionals to help. After creating a small chaos at the embassy reception, she successfully got the statuette, but she was robbed just after leaving the embassy, ​​and in her car, which made her very upset. In a fit of anger, she reported the matter to the FBI and CIA. Of course, after sending two emails to expose the incident, she disappeared directly and didn't dare to stay in Washington any longer.

I don't know who is in charge at the CIA, but the FBI has given the task of retrieving the statue to SER, who currently has the best performance in the field team.

At noon on Sunday, the team of agents who were urgently recalled to the post office listened to a briefing from Alam.

He projected a photo of an exquisite bronze statuette onto the big screen and introduced: "Atargatis is the goddess of fertility in Syrian folklore. This bronze statue of her was stolen from the British Museum in 1983 and suddenly appeared at an auction in Henderson, Kentucky two months ago. The FBI raided the auction, seized the statue, and sent it back to Syria, where it has since disappeared...

"There is a legend that this statue is related to the Kungur Six, so intelligence personnel and underground forces from various countries are looking for this statue..."

"What does the Kungur Six mean?" Donald asked on behalf of everyone.

Aram said, "It is said that at the end of the Cold War, the owner of this statue hid a list of names inside it - a list of six Soviet deep-lying spies. They are the Kungur Six."
