The Blacklist

Chapter 73: Urgent Case of Catching Tom

When returning home in the evening, Kerry went to Chinatown and packed a lot of Chinese food, enough for ten people to eat for ten days. Of course, these were not eaten in one go, and most of them were stored in the system space. He only left enough food for three people to have dinner and took it back home, humming a little tune along the way.

When he shot and killed Tanida Makoto before, the system reward was enough for him to treat everyone to a meal: "Host completed triggering task 20, shot and killed the 'host' mafia family leaders Tanida Makoto and Bobby Jenica, and was rewarded with a crime-killing value of 2.6 and recovered criminal funds of 1.14 million US dollars."

Haha! Now, his crime-killing value is 32, the mall funds are 3320 million US dollars, and there is 5 million in cash. He is really rich! It's a pity that he has no place to show off! ——
During the meal, Gina and Elizabeth were delighted to hear that the case of Donald's colleague's murder had been solved. However, when they heard him say that he had directly shot and killed Agent Jennifer, who controlled the "Host" family behind the scenes, and Tanida Shin, who had escaped from prison and committed murder, they both blamed him for being too bold. What if Donald or Mira exposed him?
Hearing this, Kerry was stunned for a moment. It was not surprising that Gina behaved like this, but why did Elizabeth say this? Did this mean that she would stand with him no matter what?

There are some things that Carrie is completely unable to explain now. He can't tell the two ladies in front of him that because of his decisive handling of the matter, especially killing Tanida Shin, Donald's pregnant girlfriend Audrey did not die. Don would not fall into self-blame and depression and eventually become a drug addict!

Well, as a "great" "predictor", he has to bear all the adverse consequences by himself. Fortunately, he has enough confidence and the energy to shout: Let the storm come even harder!
But to Gina and Elizabeth, his behavior was like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water (if they understood Chinese proverbs), and they could only sigh and ignore him.

In this regard, Carrie expressed her surprise, how could two women with completely different previous experiences be so compatible now? Are women really a different species from men?
Before going to bed at night, Gina came to the study to find him and said to him: Liz is very distressed now. Although all the signs have been confirmed, she still doesn't want to believe that Tom has been deceiving her!
Gina was worried that if this continued, Liz would become sick, and hoped that he could come up with an idea.

Kerry also knew the problem and said that he was also thinking about a solution, and asked Gina not to worry, he would take corresponding measures soon...
-
The next afternoon, Carrie, who was orally describing the situation in the post office and asking Gina to write a report for her, suddenly saw the latest breaking news on the web page displayed on the computer - a car was driving normally on the street, its airbag suddenly exploded, and the driver was caught off guard and lost control of the vehicle, died in a serious car accident!
This immediately caught his attention. It seemed like the next episode was about to begin!
Before he could study the incident in depth, he received another encrypted video from Dumby on his phone. When he opened it, he found that it was a murder case that happened in Tom's safe house!
Julianne and Tom had a fierce argument over the execution of the mission. Tom realized that Julianne's identity background was not tight enough and he might be implicated and exposed. So in order to protect himself, he killed Julianne and strangled her to death after a fight!

Carrie knew what Dembe meant. This was Reddington asking himself: How to deal with this matter?
After thinking about it, he replied that he would take over the matter and asked Reddington to restrain his men and not take any action.

Then, he immediately went upstairs to find Cooper, showed him the video he received on his mobile phone, and told him: the guy who committed the murder in the video is Elizabeth's husband, but his identity and experience are all forged. His purpose is to get close to and lurk beside Elizabeth in order to obtain intelligence from the FBI and Reddington and collect information for the organization behind him. Although he doesn't know what his ultimate purpose is yet, it feels quite dangerous and he must intervene in advance.

Under his successful guidance, Cooper immediately thought of the previous attack on the post office, so he immediately authorized Carrie to take full responsibility for the matter. He must find out the conspiracy of Tom and the organization behind him to prevent future troubles.

With this authorization, Carrie immediately took action. At about 4:00 p.m. that day, he and Gina secretly captured Tom. However, they did not take him back to the post office. Instead, they took him to the warehouse complex in the northwest area and locked him up in the logistics base that the mercenary had used. Although he had learned about Tom's background, true identity, and mission purpose through physical contact on the way, he still had to interrogate him symbolically.

After everything was arranged, Carrie and Gina returned to the post office and continued to work. Their daytime time was to strengthen Tom's spirit and prepare for the formal interrogation in the evening.
-
When Carrie and Gina returned to the post office, they found that the atmosphere in the command hall was a little tense. The duty officer immediately reported to him: a serious car accident occurred in the city that morning. The deceased was 43-year-old Nathan Pratt. He was nominally an engineer at a TV repair company, but in fact he was an employee of a special project of the DHS (Department of Homeland Security) and the chief tester of the highly confidential "Master Key" project. However, after his death in the car accident, the "Master Key" equipment he was responsible for testing was lost. At present, DHS has activated the emergency warning mechanism...

Because the case involved state secrets, it was handed over to the SER team, which is also a highly confidential unit.

Kerry nodded to show that he understood. This was another emergency case caused by a "naughty child"! To be honest, he was not very interested in this matter and really didn't want to get involved.

But what he didn't expect was that when Cooper saw him coming back, he immediately came over and said that he had an urgent matter at home that he had to deal with, so he would be responsible for the management of SER in the next one or two days.

Well, now Carrie can only accept his fate. Now that things have fallen on his head, it seems he can't avoid it.

After Cooper finished explaining what he had done, he left in a hurry. It seemed that things at home were quite urgent. This made Carrie think of some bad things about Cooper's wife. Could it be that this incident had happened?

Carrey is still very sympathetic to Cooper's love life, but now there is nothing he can do to help him and he can only rely on himself.

After Kerry took office reluctantly, he could only arrange the investigation process step by step. The first one was naturally the vehicle involved in the accident...
