The Blacklist

Chapter 61: Ranked in the Top Ten in the World
At this point, Cooper followed up and added: "There are reports that the Kungur Six are still active today, and are said to be responsible for the destruction of many intelligence agencies in the past thirty years; finding the statue will help find them, which will be of great help to US counterintelligence activities."

At this time, Mira couldn't help but say: "If this is true, then the FBI got the statue two months ago, but gave it away. Isn't it very stupid?"

Seeing Cooper's face getting darker, Kerry tried to smooth things over by saying, "Mira, that's true, but you are being disrespectful to everyone by saying that in the FBI field office. You must apologize!"

Mira also knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she immediately said, "OK, I was wrong, sorry everyone!"

At this time, Alam quickly continued to introduce: "Last night, the Turkish Embassy in our country held a reception, during which there was a small chaos. It was said that something important was stolen, but the embassy refused to admit it... This morning, the headquarters of the FBI and CIA received an anonymous email claiming that the statue of Tagatis was stolen from the Turkish Embassy last night!"

Cooper's expression improved a little at this time, and he said, "This matter is now being investigated by a special team from our SER and CIA. Whoever finds the statue first will be the first to make a contribution. Everyone should work hard."

"Don't worry, boss, we will do our best." Donald spoke on behalf of everyone.

Everyone agreed, but Kerry pouted secretly. The statue was in his system space. As long as he didn't take it out, no one would be able to find it! He was thinking, should he take it out or not?
After repeatedly weighing the pros and cons, he finally decided that he should not take it out, because if the statue appeared again, no matter who got it, people would trace its origin. Reddington's old lover Madeline Pratt would definitely not be able to escape in the end. If she was caught and told about the robbery that night, it would cause more trouble!
Therefore, it is better to leave this matter unsolved than to worry about it. This is the best outcome for everyone. Moreover, for everyone who has heard the legend, the story of the six legendary spies is very good.

Now only he knows that the secret hidden in the statue is indeed a piece of paper, but it does not contain six names, but six coordinates - each containing 50 pounds of high-explosive nuclear material, with an explosion radius of 2000 feet, and a large amount of radioactive dust after the explosion; if such a nuclear bomb explodes in a densely populated city, it will be enough to cause hundreds of thousands or even millions of casualties.

Of course, Kerry would not use this thing, but he also did not want it to fall into the hands of others, even the US government, because its small size brought portability, which greatly increased its danger. He could not trust the nuclear conscience of the US government! Therefore, he decided to take the time to seal these six nuclear bombs in his own system space, so that they would never see the light of day! ——
In the following period, in order to find this "non-existent" statue, the CIA special team and the FBI SER team put in a lot of effort and went everywhere, and arrested countless traffickers of nuclear materials in the underground world!
Because the real reason for this matter cannot be stated publicly, the US government can only say: This is a serious and strict action to prevent nuclear proliferation, and it was praised by the International Atomic Energy Agency for this. This is the first time in history!
I don’t know what those people in the White House think, but Carrie burst into laughter!

During this process, Reddington was also very confused. He knew that Madeline's plan was to steal the statue, but he didn't understand why it turned out like this. Madeline knew that the matter would become a big deal once it was exposed, so she had already fled. No one knew where she was hiding, so he couldn't ask any questions even if he wanted to.

Now the atmosphere in the open and underground world is very tense. Everyone is afraid of being associated with the "statue", including Reddington. Putting this aside, his energy is all turned to the upcoming battle with "Berlin". Of course, the first thing to deal with is Tom and Julianne!
-
Previously, Elizabeth had promised Tom to go on a trip with him when he went to Orlando to attend a teachers' conference as an effort to repair their relationship, but due to an emergency, she had to break the promise, which made Tom very angry.

When Tom arrived in Orlando, Florida, he met Julianne Parker, who was also there for a meeting, in the hotel. Her cheerfulness, liveliness and personality began to win his heart...
-
In Washington, after investigation, Reddington found out that Tom and Julianne had gone to Orlando for a meeting. While he contacted the people there to monitor the two, he personally led a team and led a few trusted men into Tom's safe house!

After seeing the scene in the house, Reddington confirmed that what Carrie said before was completely correct. This Tom was hired by the fourth party, "Berlin", to lurk beside Elizabeth! Moreover, he also thought that the purpose of this mission was himself!
The most dangerous thing is the unknown. Now he knows the other party's purpose. Although he is not sure what specific method he will use to attack him, Reddington is very confident. Here in the United States, he is at home... Well, there is also the magical Carrie to help him, so he will never lose!

This reminded him that he had the upper hand in this matter, all thanks to this young man, Carrie, who had also been doing his best to protect Elizabeth, so he decided to thank him, but how should he thank him? For this reason, he specifically asked for the opinions of Dembe and Zeng Luli.

Dembe thought of one thing, that is, when Carrie and Gina were wanted last time, they hid in that warehouse for two days. Later, he went to see it, and it was empty. He really didn't know how the two of them got there! So after he told her about this situation, he suggested preparing a few more safe houses for Carrie so that she could live better in the future when she encountered problems.

Reddington highly appreciated his suggestion and asked him to do it himself without delegating it to others and to ensure safety.

Zeng Luli was very grateful to Carrie for saving her life, and said: Carrie and Gina are currently a couple living together, but their current living conditions are average, and they drive an old Ford, which is really shabby, so she suggested preparing a low-key and comfortable house and a good car for the two.
