The Blacklist

Chapter 67 Donald's former colleague was murdered
For Carrie, this case was indeed a bit boring. The only reward was the subsequent system reward: "Host completes the trigger mission 19, captures the 'Supreme Judge' and his team members, and is rewarded with 5000 crime-killing points; rescues Cooper, and is rewarded with special operations team command skills."

In fact, this was the time when he received the least reward in terms of crime-eliminating value. This proved that Kipling and others did not do anything bad. The 5000 crime-eliminating value should be the sin value generated by their illegal imprisonment of more than a dozen people.

The reward didn't even include the recovery of criminal funds, but the special operations team command skills rewarded for rescuing Cooper were very suitable for his current situation.

After Cooper's return, SER got back on track, still investigating and solving cases.

As for Elizabeth, Tom has returned, but she still stays with Carrie and Gina from time to time under the pretext of working overtime, which makes them realize that the problem between her and Tom has become more serious.

During an operation, Elizabeth fought with a criminal and was almost injured by him. This made her realize that she lacked strength and fighting skills. She envied the strong and powerful Gina, so she specially trained with Gina, but the improvement effect was not good, which made her depressed.

Gina quietly asked Kerry if it was really possible to give Elizabeth a companion ring, even if it was just to increase her physical fitness and skill level?
Carrey considered it seriously and felt that now was not the right time. On the one hand, because Elizabeth was still married, if she had obvious physical changes, she would not be able to hide it from her partner Tom, which would have an unknown impact on the plot. On the other hand, he did not fully trust her yet, and using the partner ring to force him to be loyal to her seemed like taking advantage of someone's misfortune, which was not good.

He did not hide these reasons from Gina and told her everything. He was touched and received better service...

On Thursday, December 12, just after work in the afternoon, Donald received a phone call and his face changed drastically!

Mira next to him asked him what happened, and Donald said with some sadness that one of his former colleagues, retired FBI agent Sam Raimo, died in Tokyo!

The next afternoon, Donald asked Cooper for leave to go to Sam's home in Illinois to attend his funeral, which of course was granted.

Two days ago, because of a major operation by the FBI, Carrie took Gina and Elizabeth to Portsmouth, Virginia to help on behalf of the SER team. He was not in the post office at this time, otherwise he would definitely know what happened.

On the 7th, Carrey and his two companions completed the mission and returned to Washington on a government charter plane at night. After saying hello to Cooper, they went straight home. The next day was Sunday, and they didn't have to go to work, so it was a good time to rest.

After work on Monday, when Carrie walked into the command hall, he saw that Donald looked strange. After asking him, he realized what had happened and immediately asked, "Don, did the special team you joined to hunt down Reddington carry out a mission in Tokyo?"

"Huh? How do you know?" Donald asked in surprise, "There were four people in that team, Sam Raimo, Bobby Jenica, Peter Maguire, and me. Sam and Bobby have retired, and Peter and I are still in the FBI... Oh, you mean, Sam was killed because of this?"

"Just check it out," Carrie said. "Call them."

"Okay!" Donald agreed and immediately took out his cell phone, but the two of them couldn't get through. After hanging up the phone, he said, "Oh no, Bobby and Peter might have been in trouble too..."

At this moment, Aram answered an outside call and came over with a serious expression and said, "Tang, your friend Peter is in trouble!"

Peter Maguire's body was found under a suburban railway bridge. His throat was cut and his blood dyed the snow beneath him red!
The forensic doctor made a simple examination and confirmed that Peter was killed in the early morning hours. The murder weapon should be an extremely sharp long knife, suspected to be a Japanese samurai sword. After returning from the scene, Donald was very angry. The death of two former colleagues and good friends made him unbearable. Fortunately, at this time, he received a call from Bobby, who said that he had something to do just now, so he did not answer the phone and asked him what happened?
He told the other party about Peter's murder. Bobby insisted that it must be someone sent by Reddington who was trying to avenge their pursuit of him in Japan!

After hanging up the phone, Donald felt something was wrong, because the SER team had been established for more than half a year, and he had been involved in cooperation with Reddington. If Reddington wanted to retaliate, he would have had the opportunity to deal with him long ago.

However, he felt that although this was not done by Reddington, it was very likely related to the special team that was hunting down Reddington, as Carrie had said before.

So Donald finds Elizabeth and asks her to contact Reddington so that he can talk to him.

Elizabeth, who had just put down the phone, looked at him with a strange expression and said, "What's going on? Reddington is looking for you too! Wait a minute, he's on his way here."

Ten minutes later, Reddington brought Dembe to the post office. As soon as he entered the command hall, he met Donald's gaze and said, "Agent Lesler, I know what you and your friends will think, but I can tell you clearly that I didn't do this! If you must say that it is related to me, it is the additional damage you brought when you chased me in Tokyo that year."

Cooper also came down at this time, and like everyone else, he was a little confused when he heard what he said.

"What do you mean?" Donald frowned.

"Agent Lesler, you should remember," Reddington said, "Although you didn't catch me at that time, you did not return empty-handed. You got a considerable trophy..."

"You mean Tanida Makoto?" Donald said, "Impossible, he should be in the most heavily guarded prison in Japan right now!"

"Yes, the Abashiri Prison in Hokkaido is indeed heavily guarded!" Reddington said, "But your old friend Tanida Shin is really capable. He actually escaped from there a few days ago! Of course, if you ask the Japanese police, I don't think they will admit it."

Although Donald didn't like Reddington, he knew that he would not lie about this matter because there was no need and it would be found out sooner or later. However, since Gu Tian really escaped, the two consecutive murders had a solution.

The others were confused and didn't understand who this Gu Tian the two were talking about was.
