The Blacklist

Chapter 7 Talking about tax issues with the Red Devils
Next, Carrie studied the system mall carefully and found that after the 1.5 crime-killing points were received, special products appeared in the mall, including various strange and abnormal products, special medicines, gene-enhancing potions, special weapons, etc. There were even skill books that were directly instilled and learned like the previous shooting skills!

What he wanted most at the moment was, of course, gene enhancement potions, but the price of this kind was extremely high, and his current 1.5 crime-killing points could only buy a dose of the cheapest "gene defect-complementing" potion! But okay, this was what he needed.

After purchasing and taking this medicine, he felt his body temperature begin to rise, his muscles twitched involuntarily, and his heartbeat was a little too fast... Intellectually he knew that it was the effect of the medicine, but the feeling was extremely uncomfortable, but he managed to endure it.

These abnormalities lasted for more than an hour before they began to subside, but they persisted until he fell asleep...

When he woke up the next morning, all the abnormal symptoms disappeared. He felt extremely comfortable and in better shape than ever before. He also felt sharper and more alert than ever before! Then he found a lot of gray and black dirt on his body, and thought that this might be the legendary "cleansing of tendons and marrow".

After taking a nice hot bath, I felt particularly refreshed!
He thought, this is just gene completion, what would the effect be if it was real gene enhancement? If he worked hard, earned more crime-killing points, and bought top-level medicine, could he become a superman?
Haha! He laughed happily and felt that his life goals were becoming clearer and clearer!
On the way to work, he suddenly thought of a possibility. After killing Zamani, in addition to rewarding him with crime-killing points, the system also confiscated his criminal funds and gave him 10% of it as a bonus. This extremely tempting approach seemed to be encouraging him to kill the criminal directly!

When Carrie arrived at the post office, he found that it had been blocked. The armed personnel in charge of guarding were replaced by the DOJ's direct action team. As soon as he came in, his weapons and mobile phone were confiscated and he was taken to an interrogation room. However, no one paid attention to him for the time being, which made him very bored.

More than an hour later, two middle-aged people, a man and a woman, came in and introduced themselves as staff members of the DOJ Internal Investigation Division. They needed to conduct an internal review of the previous actions of the FBI Special Operations Team and were currently being questioned under the monitoring of a polygraph.

Kerry was in a very good mood at this time. Hearing this, he spread his hands and said, "Okay, let's get started!"

The two investigators had obviously questioned many people and knew his identity. They also knew that he had been a bystander in this action team for most of the time, so they focused on asking him about the process of killing Zamani and that was the end of it. It only took less than half an hour.

Afterwards, after signing a confidentiality agreement and confirming that today's investigation would be kept confidential, he received his gun and cell phone back and was told he could leave and return to the IRS. But he was not going to do it anymore!

Carrey protested to the investigators, claiming that his mission here was to interrogate Reddington and that he had formal authorization, but the task force had been in intense action before and had not given him this opportunity, so he could not leave now and had to interrogate Reddington immediately.

The investigators were unable to make a decision and could only report the case to Diane Fowler, head of the DOJ's criminal division, who led the investigation.

Diane felt a little headache when she knew that the IRS sent someone here. After all, the IRS is powerful and this time it has the authorization of the president, so she could only agree to let Carrie interrogate Reddington once and then leave quickly after that.

As Carrie requested, in an interrogation room without any surveillance equipment, he met Reddington in heavy shackles and drove everyone else out.

Even so, he was still worried, so he personally checked the room again and turned on an IRS-specific signal blocker to eliminate any possibility of eavesdropping.

Seeing his demeanor, Reddington smiled and said, "This agent looks unfamiliar. Which department is he from?" "IRS, Senior Auditor Richard Carey of the Special Audit Division of the General Administration." He sat down at the side of the table and looked at the legendary criminal in front of him. "I'm here to discuss tax issues with you."

"Ha! IRS!" Reddington laughed even louder. "Sorry, I couldn't help it! In all these years, you are the first IRS auditor to come to me to discuss tax issues...Auditor Carrie, it's an honor to meet you!"

Carrie ignored the teasing in his tone and continued, "Mr. Reddington, let me tell you a story! Three months ago, I was a senior auditor at the IRS Washington Branch... well, a civilian with five years of work experience; but suddenly, I was transferred to the tax collection department and became a field officer, specializing in collecting taxes from dangerous elements. Can you imagine my experience in these three months?"

Reddington's expression became a little serious, and he said seriously: "According to my experience, you are being targeted by your boss. He wants to kill you or make you leave!"

"Thank you for your experience." Carrie said, "Then, just a few days ago, you, the 'Red Devil', suddenly surrendered to the FBI headquarters. It was really unexpected! And because of this, I was inexplicably promoted and transferred to the Special Auditing Division of the General Administration. I received the task of coming here to discuss tax issues with you. Don't you think it's interesting?"

Reddington was a little speechless after being asked this question. After thinking for a while, he said, "Auditor Carrey, I sympathize with your situation, but unfortunately, with my current status, I don't need to discuss any tax issues with you..."

"NO, NO, NO!" Carrie waved her finger and said, "Mr. Reddington, of course I know your situation, but in order to keep my job, I have to do something. You should understand this, right?"

"Oh, then what do you want to do?" Reddington thought he was going to threaten him and his tone turned cold.

"Two options," Carrie said. "The first option is that you pay more than two million in personal income tax to the IRS through me every month. The second option is that you provide me with the names of people who have not paid taxes to the IRS on time every month, and the amount of tax that can be recovered must be more than three million."

"Haha!" Reddington laughed angrily, "Agent Carrey, why do you think I will agree to your terms?"

Kerry did not answer his question, but continued: "Of course, if you choose both options, I don't mind providing you with some additional services."

Reddington understood what he meant and asked with interest, "What is your main service?"
