Chapter 58: Lock the target, spy!
Although Coverdale is a highly skilled hacker, in the final analysis he is just an ordinary person.
Listening to the specific and terrifying process of waterboarding, and then thinking about it, once it was used on myself, I would be scared out of my mind.
"You should be glad that the first one to come to you now is not the CIA, but our IRS!"
"We, the IRS, are not the CIA's 'butchers'; we are Very principled! ”
"You pay us the amount of taxes you should pay, and we promise to turn around and leave. As for who you are and your identity, we will completely pretend that we don't know!"
Coverdale, who is already close in his heart, After hearing David's words, he seemed to grab a life-saving straw and suddenly asked: "What you said is true, but you just said that I was guilty of treason!"
In his opinion, .
Although the IRS and CIA have different responsibilities, they are both subordinate to the country's law enforcement agencies. With such a big crime, it is impossible for these two departments to be at odds with each other.
I'm afraid that when he pays the money, his people will fall into the hands of the CIA, and then he will really lose both his people and money!
David spread his hands and replied with an innocent look: "So what if it's treason? This has nothing to do with my IRS, which is only responsible for collecting taxes!"
"..."
< br>Coverdale was speechless.
But having said that, just now David was standing on the moral high ground, accusing him of being unprincipled and actually committing treason for money.
But now think about it, if he paid taxes, the IRS would keep his treason secret, so from a certain perspective, wouldn't it be treason?
If he is unprincipled for money, then isn’t the IRS equally unprincipled?
The only difference is that the IRS is legal and unprincipled, while he is illegal and unprincipled.
Coverdale felt more and more ridiculous the more he thought about it, but no matter what, things had reached this point and he had no choice. He could only say with a sense of frustration: "Okay, I'll pay, but I hope you keep your promise and won’t stab me out!”
David and Nissen looked at each other, with a ‘successful’ smile on both of their faces, and finally David turned around. The head turned back and said: "Don't worry, we will keep our promise, but if you are found by the CIA, you won't be able to blame us!"
David then reminded: "Although your skills are very high, , but we can all find clues about you, and the CIA is not all trash. I would like to remind you, you have to pay close attention to yourself!”
He targeted this area through Dan.
As long as the CIA is willing to put in some effort, it shouldn't be difficult to lock down this area.
The only difficulty is that the CIA does not have a golden finger like his and cannot pinpoint Coverdale for sure.
But no matter what, this is also a potential threat to Coverdale himself.
And he didn’t want to see this guy arrested like this. After all, as long as this guy was not arrested, he would be able to continuously provide tax revenue to the IRS in the future.
Coverdale thought for a moment.
David is indeed right. For safety reasons, it seems that we cannot stay in this place!
"By the way, I want to ask you something!"
Coverdale stopped his thoughts, raised his head and replied: "What is it?"
" I am very interested in the spy you contacted. Can you reveal his identity to me? ”
Previously, through the inspection function of Goldfinger, David found out that the spy who contacted Coverdale was hiding in the Lake District.
With such a fat sheep holding a large amount of money, he naturally did not want to miss it.
Coverdale's face darkened, and he reluctantly replied: "That's a spy from the Bear Country, not an ordinary person. If I betray him, it will be very dangerous for me..."
"Don't worry, we won't let you take the risk in vain. According to the regulations of our black tax bill..."
David stated the tax relief policy.
After hearing that the tax rate could be reduced by 10-15 percentage points, Coverdale was immediately moved. After thinking about it again and again, he made up his mind and said, "Actually, I don't know his true identity. The deal between me and him "It's all done without contact!"
"Conducted without contact?" David and Nissen were a little confused.
“You also know that these spies are very cautious. Whether we communicate on the phone or through the Internet, we may be captured by the CIA or Homeland Security Agency. ”
“Therefore, every time he comes into contact with me, he will choose a fixed area, and he will put down money and information that he needs me to do something.”
Listening to Coverdale's explanation, David and Nissen finally understood.
But soon, Nissen asked: "Since you are all hackers, can't you hack into their database or something? Then wouldn't you know who he is?"
Coverdale looked at Nissen like an idiot and replied: "Do you know where the most powerful hacker organization in the world comes from?"
"From bear country!"
"There are at least 50 people who are more skilled than me."
"If I dare to invade their database, I don't know how I will die!"
Hearing this, Nissen was puzzled again and asked: "Then since they have so many master hackers, why do they still Do you want to invade the CIA?”
“It’s very simple. The Department of Homeland Security and other departments of the United States have set up a firewall for this country. No matter how high-tech this firewall is, it is still difficult to break through from the outside. It can only be broken from the inside!"
Both Nissen and David understood it.
David said: "Okay, then you should still be in contact in the near future, right?"
Judging from the information given on Goldfinger, he knew that the cooperation between the two was not completely over yet.
"I just got the latest information today and have contacted him through special channels. I think he will give me instructions soon!"
"Okay, if anything happens, feel free to Notify me!”
……
“Are you sure you don’t want to go back and take a rest?”
On the way back to the Lake District branch, David, who was driving the surveillance vehicle, looked at the tired Nissen and couldn't help but ask.
Nissen waved his hand and replied: "No, missing one night of sleep won't kill anyone!"
"Okay..."
Back to the bureau It was already half an hour later.
And half an hour later, Coverdale, wearing sunglasses and a peaked cap, arrived here with the money he had prepared.
Because the spy hadn't been found yet and the tax deduction policy hadn't taken effect yet, he prepared $316,800 this time.
After filing, counting and other work, this case is completely completed.
When Mary was about to withdraw the money and put it into the treasury, David added: "By the way Mary, this money is divided into 60,000 yuan, and the taxes of the other three groups of members of our team are injected equally. Excellent!"
Mary was stunned when she heard this.
It is an unspoken rule to invite other groups to perform tasks and distribute tax results to other groups.
But it has never happened that such a large tax amount of 60,000 is allocated at one time.
But this is David's own tax performance, and he can distribute it however he wants. She didn't ask any more questions, nodded in agreement and turned around to leave.
