The Blacklist

Chapter 92 Special Operations Team Incident
At this time, Elizabeth pointed out another suspicious point: Reddington is actually an anti-technology person. He does not use the Internet at all. He uses a feature phone and gives it to Dumby for safekeeping. He negotiates transactions face to face...

From these aspects, no matter how powerful the algorithm of "Lord Baltimore" is, it is impossible to find Reddington by analyzing big data!
Donald understood and said, "Lord Baltimore is tracking someone else!"

Then everyone started discussing it, but no one could come to the point and couldn't guess who the target would be.

At this time, a few people noticed that Cooper and Gina were not there. Carrie told them that Cooper went to the Ministry of Justice, and Gina left early because of some personal matters. So, no one thought much about it.

It was almost time to get off work and Cooper hadn't come back yet, but he just called the post office and asked them to do their job.

The next day when she got to work, Donald, who had left her business card, received a call from Mills. She said she had just found a message in her mobile phone's voicemail box warning her not to disclose any information.

Alam immediately got to work. After asking for the phone number where the message was left, he began trying to search and locate the phone. Surprisingly, he succeeded in locating the phone, and it was in Washington!
Donald and others immediately set out with the action team and found a rental apartment. In the room, they found a laptop that had been used to hack into Mills' computer, a car key, and several photos of her.

Mills, who was taken to the apartment, insisted that he had never been to this room and believed that the only reasonable explanation was that his twin sister Nora, who disappeared seven years ago, was still alive.

In the subsequent investigation, it was discovered that Nora had been harassed by her uncle in her childhood and had a withdrawn personality since childhood. After she grew up, she took the initiative to join a private security company as a mercenary. She disappeared while on a mission abroad seven years ago and the company determined that she was dead.

Because there was evidence proving that Nora did exist, Mills' suspicion was temporarily lifted and he was sent back home, but everyone still had doubts in their hearts.

By analyzing the computer used by the hacker, Alam discovered that he was looking for a woman. He imitated the data analysis algorithm of "Lord Baltimore" and greatly narrowed the search range, but there were still more than two hundred women within the range!

Carrie could only take the initiative to say: "Send the information to Reddington and see which of these women is related to him?"

Reddington checked the information of more than 200 people and identified one: Naomi Highland, because she was his ex-wife!

Donald and Elizabeth took the task force to find Highland and protect him. Carrie, Mira and Aram stayed behind, but Cooper still hadn't returned.
-
At ten o'clock in the morning, a tall lady in her fifties suddenly rushed in with a team of DOJ staff, showed her credentials and documents from the department, and took over the SER team and the post office base. It turned out that she was the new Deputy Minister in charge, Miranda!

What was even more unexpected was that Deputy Minister Miranda's second order was to remove Carrie and Mira from their positions and have them report back to their original departments!
Aram and other staff members were dumbfounded, but Kerry nodded, looked at Mira, and asked, "Ms. Miranda, I want to ask, where is Deputy Director Cooper?"

Although he was kicked out of SER, Miranda knew he was from the IRS and didn't want to go too far, so she said, "Auditor Kerry, Cooper is suspected of some cases and is currently under investigation by the department..."

Carrie knew the source of the uneasiness, which was considered a confirmation. She didn't say anything more and told Mira to pack up. When she returned to her office, she heard Miranda asking where Gina was again.

Aram still hadn't figured out the situation, so he pointed to the information on the computer and said, "Gina hasn't come to work yet... Well, there's no clock-in information here."
-
Ten minutes later, under the supervision of DOJ staff, Carrie and Mira packed their belongings, each holding a small cardboard box, and were "sent" to the parking lot downstairs.

Because Mira didn't have her own car, Kerry drove her in his old Ford and took her away from the post office where she had worked for a year. After driving a few hundred meters, the two changed positions. After Mira drove, she asked, "Lee, what's going on?"

"Hey!" Carrie sneered, "Mira, let me make a call first, and you'll understand." Then, he took out his encrypted communicator that looked like a Nokia 8110 large slider phone and called Demby's, "Demby, is Reddington safe?"

"Agent Carrey, safe," Dembe said, "I'll put him on the phone now."

Then, Reddington's voice sounded: "What's wrong, Richard, what happened?"

"Something happened to SER!" Kerry said directly, "The Department of Justice has a new deputy minister in charge, Cooper has been detained by the department, Mira and I have been kicked out of the team, and they are also going to arrest Gina... You have to be careful! But don't worry, Elizabeth should be fine, Donald and Aram are still there."

"I see!" Reddington's voice immediately became serious, "Where's Kinski?"

"I think he will be picked up by another department soon. The future is not good." Kerry analyzed, "This matter should be related to the 'December Party'. There may be other people at a higher level involved."

"Got it!" Reddington said, "Do you need me to help you and Mira with anything?"

"No need, I will protect Mira." Carrie said, "Remember, do not use any other phone except this communicator, and do not contact Elizabeth unless I tell you to."

"Okay, I'll remember that, thank you!" Reddington hung up the phone.

After setting up the communicator, Kerry restarted it, handed it to Mira, and said, "Don't use your previous phone anymore. This communicator uses encrypted satellite communication and will not be eavesdropped or tracked. Remember, the password you are asked to enter when unlocking the screen is fake. You need your fingerprint and voiceprint to start..."

"What happens if someone loses the password?" Mira asked calmly.

Kerry smiled and said, "There are two possibilities. One is that if you enter two different passwords, it will explode with a radius of two meters. The other is that if you enter the same password twice, I will be notified directly. Then the communicator can make and receive calls, but I will eavesdrop and track you."

"Very good stuff, I like it!" Mira smiled. It was the first time she saw such an interesting setting. Then she asked, "Is anyone fighting against SER just because of the Red Devil?"

"Not entirely." Kerry said, "SER must have hurt one or more interest groups, so it was hit. Someone wants to disband or control this department."
