Chapter 157: Pull out Stevenson’s minions first
Bucky immediately reprimanded: “Even if you want to be greedy, you should still file and pay taxes, so that we won’t be so passive now!”< br>
"I..."
Bobby's face turned red and he couldn't say a word.
"Hand over the gun and tax badge. You are suspended. Also, Ariel, get him a registration form and pay the tax first!"
This time it was David who spoke.
It is actually a little late for Bobby to enter the file and pay taxes now.
Even if Stevenson has this information, once it is revealed, he will still be involved in a storm of public opinion.
But there is no way, the procedures that need to be done still need to be done.
Otherwise, he would really be bending the law for personal gain.
When he heard that he was about to surrender his gun and be suspended from duty, Bobby became anxious and cried out: "Tax Commissioner, I know I was wrong. Please let me go this time. I will never dare to do it again..."
If this were another matter, Simmons and many others would beg for mercy based on the friendship between the players on the same team.
But now that it was such a serious matter, they naturally did not dare to say anything.
David replied without any emotion: "We are members of the law enforcement department. We should know what to do and what not to do. Since you have done it, you must bear the consequences!"< br>
Hearing this, Bobby knew that he was finished. His face was full of regret, but in the end he honestly took out his gun and tax badge and put them on the table, then bowed his head and walked out.
And Ariel also walked out, preparing to deal with the tax payment and filing.
David looked at the remaining six people and said seriously: "I don't want to see this kind of thing again, do you understand?"
"I understand... "
The six people answered in unison.
"Bucky, Bradley, Condliff, you guys, go check out the criminals involved in the case. If possible, control them, and then pry open their mouths to see what's going on. People do it!”
The information sent by the state government is very professional.
David could tell at a glance that it was definitely not something Stevenson’s straw bag staff could do.
It must have been done by people from some professional organizations.
So what he needs to do now is not to fight back against Stevenson or anything, but to remove the minions who investigated the information for him first, so as to avoid such a thing from happening again.
“Okay!”
Bucky and the other three immediately took the order and left.
"Nissan Simmons, you two get ready and go to the central library!"
The transaction on the counterfeit banknote case is about to begin. No matter what, this item must be dealt with first. The case is completed, otherwise all the work has been wasted.
After the two left, only Serena was left in the office.
"Tax Commissioner David, if you need it, we can come forward to help you solve this problem in Stevenson!"
David was about to ask her to do some clerical work, but unexpectedly, Serena spoke first.
She has always had the idea of pulling David into their camp.
And now she feels that this is an opportunity.
David looked at Selina, paused for a moment and then replied: "No, I can handle it myself!"
Although a governor is a high-ranking official, he Knowing that with the energy of the Kenedi family, it is indeed not too difficult to settle things.
After all, Schwarzenegger was just an actor at the time, but just because he married into the Kennedy family, the Kennedy family could force him to the position of governor.
And the one he promoted was California, which ranked third in the United States. After that, his messy state governance actually helped him get re-elected.
This shows how powerful the Kennedy family is.
However, everything has two sides.
The sworn enemies of the Kennedy family are the top people in the entire United States, and he doesn't want to take this risk now.
Serena looked at David's determined face, her upper and lower red lips touched back and forth, but in the end she said nothing more, just nodded, and then walked out of the office.
David also stood up, put on his coat, picked up his tax badge and gun, and walked downstairs.
Then he and Nissen Simmons took a car together and headed towards the central library of the main street.
The Central Library, located about 800 meters to the right of Las Vegas City Hall, is a striking cultural landmark.
In front of the library, there is a wide square planted with various flowers, plants and trees, where many citizens are basking in the sun.
"Simmons, are you sure they are trading here?"
Nissen drove here. Seeing that it was close to the city hall and crowded with people, he couldn't help but become suspicious.
No matter how you look at this place, it doesn’t look like a place suitable for the criminals of the counterfeit banknote syndicate to trade!
"I have confirmed with Isido several times, of course we are sure... Look, he has appeared!"
Simmons just finished speaking, and saw about 30 people in front of them. A Mercedes-Benz stopped at the gate, and Isido got out carrying a black suitcase, and then walked in the direction of the library.
"Let's go, let's follow, keep a low profile!"
Because he often appears on TV recently, many people know his face, so before getting off the car, David also put on a mask. , plus a baseball cap.
After the three got off the car, they spread out and kept a certain distance. They pretended to be citizens who came to the library to read and walked in as if nothing had happened.
The library has multiple reading areas, including quiet study rooms, comfortable reading rooms and multimedia areas.
The three of them followed Isido to an area of history books. They saw him walking to a locker not far away, entering the password to open the box, and then took out a small suitcase, stuffed his suitcase into it, and then picked it up and left.
When passing in front of David, he also gave David a hidden look, implying that his mission had been completed.
In the following time, the three Davids pretended to read books while staring at the lockers, trying to see who would show up.
About twenty minutes later.
As the three of them looked forward to it, a man of about 18 or 9 years old wearing a hip-hop hat appeared.
He came to the locker, entered the password skillfully, took out the suitcase, and then picked it up and left as if nothing had happened.
[Name: Maxwell Ian. 】
[Occupation: Unemployed. 】
【Income: 9,000 US dollars. 】
[Income details: On December 7, he stole a guest’s wallet in a nightclub and made a profit of US$800. On December 14, he sold two packages of contraband and made a profit of US$1,000. On January 11, he helped People took contraband and made a profit of 300 US dollars...]
[More details:...]
[Tax payable: US$900. 】
After reviewing this guy’s personal information, David felt a little disappointed.
This guy is not from the counterfeit money group at all.
He was just an errand boy hired by a counterfeit banknote syndicate to help withdraw money.
“Tax Commissioner, he’s gone.”
Seeing that David was still distracted, Nissen quickly walked to his side to remind him.
David came to his senses and followed immediately.
Arrived outside the library door, the man named Maxwell got into a Chevrolet and drove towards the Las Vegas Strip.
Without any ink, David and the other two quickly jumped into the car and started the car, then chased after them.
The two cars, one in front and one behind, drove for about three kilometers. The two sides came to a traffic light intersection, and it was a red light at this time.
But the next second, a sudden change occurred.
Under the gaze of everyone, the Chevrolet in front rolled down its window, and the door of the Alfa that turned left next to him also suddenly opened.
The young man named Maxwell threw the suitcase he took from the library directly into Alpha's car door.
After doing all this, the left turn signal suddenly turned green, and the Alfa accelerated and turned away instantly.
All this happened in just a few seconds.
After Nissen reacted, he was about to put the car into gear and wanted to catch up, but was stopped by David.
“Don’t chase me yet!”
If I catch up now, there is a high probability that I will be discovered either by Alpha or by the young man named Muskville.
David thought for a while and ordered Simmons: "Call the transportation department and ask them to use the surveillance system to keep an eye on the car... By the way, there is also the suitcase. , let’s see where the final destination is!” Simmons immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed the number of the transportation department.
Nissen, on the other hand, found a place to park the car and waited.
An hour later, after the three of them were almost impatient with waiting, Simmons finally received a call.
After hanging up, he said angrily: "This gang is so damn cunning. According to the traffic department, they went around the block several times, and the suitcase was also switched. Five cars arrived before leaving the main street."
Hearing this, the two people on the side finally understood. They said, why did it take so long.
Immediately, David asked: "Then where were their final destinations?"
"Went to the 'Ansheng Paper Mill' on the edge of Sparks City Avenue outside the suburbs."
"Ansheng Paper Mill..."
Generally speaking, counterfeit banknotes and Papermaking is indeed very similar, so looking at it this way, this papermaking factory is very likely to be the base of the counterfeit banknote group.
David immediately picked up the phone and dialed Keanu's number.
“What’s going on, Commissioner David?”
"There has been a breakthrough in the counterfeit banknote case. Call out two inspection teams. Let's go to Ansheng Paper Mill to enforce the law!"
"Ansheng Paper Mill?"
Here at the Main Street District Bureau, I heard Keanu was stunned at these words.
Of course he knows that counterfeit banknotes and papermaking have many similarities.
Therefore, places like paper mills and printing plants have already gone through countless inspections by him.
As for Ansheng Paper Factory, he had also checked it many times, but in the end it was ruled out.
“Yes, let’s not talk about it for now, let’s arrange for someone to come over!”
“Okay, I’ll arrange it right now…oh no, I’ll lead the team myself!”
< br>Keanu also wanted to see if this paper mill, which he had ruled out suspicion, looked like the stronghold of the counterfeit banknote group as David said.
If so, how did this counterfeit banknote group escape so many checks from their Main Street Branch.
……
Ansheng Paper Mill.
When David and the others arrived here, Keanu's people had not arrived yet.
In order not to alert others and cause conflicts, they waited for another 20 minutes before someone from the Main Street Bureau arrived.
“Taxmaster David, I’ve kept you waiting for a long time.”
"It's just a short wait, let's go in first!"
The paper mill is located next to a wide river, which provides the factory with sufficient water.
As soon as you walk into the factory, you can feel a strong smell, which is a mixture of wood, chemicals and moisture.
"Who are you!"
As soon as David and others stepped in, the security guard at the security booth walked up with a vigilant look on his face.
"From the IRS!"
Nissen showed his tax badge, and then David and others ignored him and led everyone straight into the factory.
In the tall factory building, the machines are like huge steel giants, making a low roar and running non-stop, converting various raw materials into thin sheets of paper.
On the production line, workers shuttled busily. They wore safety helmets and work clothes, holding tools and meticulously operating every step.
In the process of papermaking, raw materials are fed into the machine and undergo a series of complex chemical reactions and physical treatments, eventually turning into sheets of smooth, white paper.
At the other end of the factory, vast piles of paper are stacked in storage areas, neatly stacked and waiting to be shipped and distributed.
Everyone looked carefully for a long time and found that this was indeed just an ordinary paper mill, and they really didn't see any connection with counterfeit banknotes.
But David was different. He did not pay too much attention to the internal situation of the paper mill. His eyes were mainly on the workers on site.
But after careful inspection, he didn't find anything unusual for a while.
It wasn't until the next second that he saw a middle-aged man walking through the left aisle that his eyes suddenly shone with light.
[Name: Faulkner Ban. 】
[Occupation: Paper mill owner. 】
[Income: monthly legal income of 120,000 US dollars, illegal income of 1.35 million US dollars. ]
[Income details: Shares obtained from providing instruments, equipment, and venue facilities to the counterfeit banknote group...]
[More details:...]
[Tax payable: US$534,600. 】
“Isn’t this Keanu Tax Inspector? How many times are your IRS going to come to our place to inspect us? We are going to file a complaint against you. You keep coming to disturb our business!”
The paper mill owner named Faulkner obviously knew Keanu, and he always complained when they met.
Keanu was a little embarrassed, but when he thought that David was going to investigate, he felt a little more emboldened and replied: "It makes sense for our IRS to investigate you. What are you in a hurry for?" Mr. Na, don’t you have a guilty conscience?”
“I have a guilty conscience?”
Faulkner became angry and scolded: "Okay, okay, then you can check it, you can check it as you like. If you can't find out the reason today, the taxes from our paper mill are not in vain. Your Internal Revenue Service must pay us An explanation!”
Keanu stopped talking and looked at David.
David walked up to Faulkner, looked directly at him and asked: "Mr. Faulkner, we are tracking a counterfeit banknote syndicate. I don't know, have you heard of it?"
"What kind of counterfeit banknote group? We are a paper maker here, not a counterfeit banknote maker. You have come to the wrong place!"
"Are you sure?"
"Of course I'm sure. If you don't believe me, just ask Keanu the inspector. He doesn't even know how many times he has searched our place!"
David turned his head to look at Keanu, and Keanu Nu Ze nodded, indicating that he really didn't notice anything unusual here.
Then, David turned to look at Simmons and ordered: "Get me two large excavators!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone at the scene was stunned. Forced.
Faulkner was the first to react, with a trace of imperceptible panic in his eyes, and asked: "What do you want to do?"
"You confirm that there is no problem with your paper mill, but I confirm that there is a problem with your paper mill. What should I do? Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I have to prove that what I think is correct!"
Faulkner didn't know what to say when David said such arrogant words. In the end, he could only pretend to be tough and replied: "You... you can't do this. This is deliberately damaging citizens' property. I can sue Yours!"
"You can sue as you like, but if I really dig something out, it's hard to say who will sue whom!"
"No, you can't do that! ”
David was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and gave Simmons a wink. Simmons immediately understood and took out his mobile phone to start making arrangements.
At this time, Faulkner didn't look like much on the surface, but in his heart he was like an ant on a hot pot.
If the excavator really comes over, unless he really has a supernatural space like in the novel, no matter how concealed he is, he will be exposed.
And if the excavator makes such a loud noise, it might attract the attention of people around him, and then he will be really doomed!
Weighing the pros and cons in his mind for a long time, he finally bit David and said, "What do you want?"
Seeing Faulkner's anxious look, Ji at this time Nu and other inspectors from the main street also had expressions of change.
Could it be that...as David said, the counterfeit banknote group is hiding in this paper mill?
“What else can we, the IRS, think about? It’s just collecting taxes. As long as we pay the taxes, we will naturally turn around and leave, and we won’t bother you to continue to ‘make paper’!”
Faulkner was silent.
At the same time, about 200 meters away from where everyone was, there was an unmanned machine area underground.
"The situation is not good. The IRS must have discovered something, otherwise Faulkner would not look like this."
"Damn it, haven't the people from the IRS been here several times, but they haven't been able to find us? Why did they find us all of a sudden?"
"Didn't you see who was leading the team this time? , it was David who led the armed action and caused two major earthquakes in Sparks and Henderson. This man is not simple.”
This is an area of about 100 square meters. 's basement.
There were ten people inside, including a man and a woman who were relatively young, probably in their early 30s. The two kept looking at the surveillance screen and talking.
Around them were ink, paper, counterfeit banknote templates, various instruments and equipment, and stacks of printed counterfeit banknotes.
