Chapter 251 The investigation team settled in the western suburbs branch
After some narration, David finally understood what was going on. After thinking for a while, he replied: "Deputy Director Donald, according to what you said, the committee I think we launched an investigation into members of Congress, but what if I didn’t investigate?”
“You didn’t investigate? How did you know about the activities of Pipps and the shipyard during the TV debate? "
"I have indeed not investigated. As for why I know about the shipyard, as I said in the TV debate, it is hearsay."
David has indeed not investigated. Pipps, because the information he obtained was completely presented to him by the plug-in.
"Hearsay? Are you sure? David, we are not outsiders. Is there anything you can tell me frankly?"
Donald still doesn't believe it. How can this hearsay know such detailed activities in the shipyard?
"I have been very honest with Deputy Director Donald, and there is nothing to deny. I really just received the information from other places and have not investigated Congressman Pipes."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for five seconds before a voice came: "Okay, just wait for my call!"
About half an hour later, David's phone rang, and he saw it was Donald called and he picked up immediately.
"We have communicated with the committee, but they don't believe that your western suburbs branch has not investigated Pips. Therefore, the committee decided to dispatch an investigation team to your western suburbs branch to investigate. Do you have any problems there? "
"No problem, I welcome you!"
"Okay, this investigation team was transferred from the FBI California office and should be arriving at your western suburbs branch soon. Please cooperate!”
“Understood.”
After ending the call, David raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
The three guys from Peoples just wanted to use the Western Suburban Bureau to investigate members of Congress, so as to cause a conflict between the committee and them.
But if this investigation team comes and finds nothing, then the committee will naturally have nothing to say, and these three guys can shut their mouths!
At two o'clock in the afternoon, David, who received the notice, was already waiting in the lobby on the first floor.
He may not be shy about the California FBI office, but after all, this group of people has another level of identity, an investigation team sent by a congressional committee, so he still has to give some face.
Not long after, a Ford Explorer stopped at the door, the door opened, and four very capable-looking men in suits and ties walked in.
The leader, the man wearing sunglasses, extended his hand and introduced himself as he walked toward David: "Hello, Director David, my name is Whitley, an agent from the California FBI office."
"Hello, Agent Hewlett."
"I was entrusted by the Congressional Taxation Committee to conduct an investigation. If there is any offense, please don't take offense, Director David."
As an FBI agent, Hewlett certainly knew that David was not easy to mess with, so to be honest, he didn't want to take this job at the beginning.
After all, this is an investigation on someone’s territory in the western suburbs branch, and it is a job that can easily offend people.
But there was no way. The Congressional Taxation Committee had read his file and knew that he was the most capable agent in California. They named him and asked him to investigate. In the end, he had no choice but to come under pressure.
"If so, since the committee has sent you to investigate, then our western suburbs branch will naturally cooperate fully!"
After saying that, David turned to Keanu and introduced : "This is Deputy Director Keanu of our bureau. He will cooperate with everything you need."
"Sorry, Deputy Director Keanu."
"You're welcome, Hyeri. Special Agent.”
After the two shook hands and reached a preliminary understanding, David spoke again: "Agent Hewlett, your team can check most of the information, files, and data in our Western Suburbs Bureau, but because some taxpayers are involved in confidentiality regulations, Because of this, we can’t disclose this information to you. Is that okay?”
“No problem, let’s get started.”
Hellit was assigned to come here to find out. Whether the Suburban Bureau has ever investigated members of Congress, there is no reason to pry into the privacy of IRS taxpayers.
David nodded, and then asked Keanu to lead the investigation team to start the search work, while he returned to the office.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Nissen pushed in the door and said: "Director, you asked me to check Stevenson's recent situation. I have some clues."
"Tell me about it."
David clasped his hands together and listened with interest.
“According to information from the Intelligence Division, this guy has been living in New York State since he stepped down from power in Nevada, where he worked at two Wall Street financial companies, Howson and Wolfart. With the help of the government, he has gained great popularity in Buffalo, the second largest city in the state. According to some relatively reliable rumors, he has been nominated by his party and is preparing to start running for the Senate before the mid-term elections.”< br>
“Oh?!”
David looked a little surprised. Because New York is the number one city in the world, the strength of New York State cannot be underestimated. The total economic volume and It ranks third in importance in the United States, behind Texas and California.
And if the state wants to compete for the only two senators, it can be said that the eight immortals are crossing the sea to show their magical powers.
It is really surprising that Stevenson dared to run in such a difficult state and successfully obtained the qualification to be nominated by the party.
"What is the origin of the two financial companies 'Haoshen' and 'Wolfart'?"
"According to the information we found, these two companies are controlled by Mogen Chase ."
"Magic Root Chase"
Upon hearing these four words, David's pupils shrank suddenly.
The popularity of Magic Root Chase is very famous in the whole world, let alone in the United States.
It is no exaggeration to say that this company is a giant in the financial world.
The Mogen family, which owns this company, is the top chaebol family in the United States, holding the original shares of the Federal Reserve.
Could it be that...
What does Stevenson have to do with Mogen Chase or the Mogen family?
Seemingly seeing what David was thinking, Nissen also continued to explain: "This Stevenson does have some connections with the Mogen family. According to the information we found, his wife is a Mogen family. The niece of the current head of the family.”
Hearing this, David finally understood.
He said that back in Nevada, Stevenson was about to be killed by him, so why did the General Administration suddenly call him and tell him to stop there.
If there is a relationship like the Mogen family, this seems to be explainable.
When facing such a top chaebol family, considering the family's comprehensive influence, it is normal for the top officials of the IRS to try to save face. "If he has such a relationship, then why didn't we find out when we were in Nevada?"
David murmured to himself, when he was preparing to make history When he visited Stevenson, he naturally investigated this guy's background, but he did not find this out.
Nissen explained: "There is no way, the intelligence system in Nevada is still a little behind, and it is far behind our western suburbs branch."
These words made David suddenly realize , Yes, it is not an exaggeration to say that Nevada is a remote country compared to California. The intelligence system there is not as good as the intelligence system of the current western suburbs branch. This is normal.
"Director, you see, this Pipps is just a member of Congress. He has brought us so much trouble by standing up to criticize the black tax bill, let alone a senator standing up, so I think that even if this history Stevenson has a relationship with the Mogen family, but he must not be allowed to succeed in the election!"
Nissen reminded him earnestly.
In fact, there was no need for him to remind him. David naturally realized this.
To put it simply, the relationship between the House of Representatives and the Senators is that the former proposes proposals, while the latter has the power to make decisions.
The same is true for the representatives and senators among them.
However, if he were to get in the way and get rid of this guy, it wouldn't be very difficult with David's current methods, but he was afraid that he might offend a giant like the Mogen family.
And offending the Mogan family may be tantamount to offending the Freemasonry.
He doesn’t want to be the second Kendi with a big imagination.
But if Stevenson is not eliminated, and if he is really chosen, then based on the grievances between the two parties, he will probably suffer in the coming days.
After much thought, David couldn't think of any better solution for a while, so he could only tell Nissen to continue to pay attention to this guy and make long-term plans.
Anyway, the midterm elections won’t come until November, so there’s still plenty of time.
……
Two days later.
Washington, Capitol Hill, in an office in the Capitol Building.
Pips, Pringhall, and Timothy are sitting with serious expressions, and sitting directly opposite them is the person currently responsible for the taxation committee of the House of Representatives. Committee Chairwoman Melinda Butz on the tax bill.
About ten minutes later, there was a knock on the office door, and anticipation showed on the faces of the three people. The next second, Hewlett walked in carrying a briefcase.
"Chairman Melinda, Congressman Pipps, Prinhal, Congressman Timothy..."
Helett shook hands with the three of them one by one in greeting, and Pip Si Ze couldn't wait to speak and said: "Agent Hewlett, do you have any results?"
Whelett nodded, then took out a document from the briefcase and handed it to Melinda first. hands.
After taking it, Melinda pushed up her glasses and examined them carefully, but soon her expression became strange.
Pips couldn't hold himself back and said: "What's wrong, Chairman Melinda?"
"You can see for yourself."
Melinda did not answer, but These documents were handed over. After the three Pipps took them, they opened their eyes and started to read them.
But as the contents of this document and report came into view, the expressions of the three people of Pipps also became tense instantly. In the end, he even said slightly angrily: "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, Xi The Suburban Branch has definitely launched an investigation into me!”
According to this document, the Western Suburban Branch has not specifically investigated the actions of MPs like Pipes.
But his family knew their own affairs. During the TV debate, David not only pointed out the activities of the two shipyards, but also pointed out in detail who he had reached an agreement with.
How could we know so clearly if we hadn’t conducted a detailed investigation?
"Agent Hewlett, have you really investigated thoroughly?"
This time it was Timothy who questioned him, and he didn't believe that David pointed out Pi's case based on hearsay alone. Puss's many insider transactions must have been investigated secretly.
“My team and I stayed at the Western Suburbs Bureau for two full days, and we almost turned them upside down. However, we did not find that the Western Suburbs Bureau had investigated Councilman Pipes and others. MP Signs ”
There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Hewlett's voice. Was this really questioning his ability?
Then don’t ask me to do this thankless job!
The office suddenly became quiet.
It wasn’t until ten seconds later that Pipps seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly turned his head and stared at Hewlett with a sharp gaze, and asked: "Agent Hewlett, tell me the truth. You won’t be threatened by David too, right?”
After previous conversations with Stevenson, he knew David better and knew that this man had a way of threatening people.
Therefore, he seriously doubted that the Hewlett in front of him might have been caught or threatened in some way.
As soon as these words came out, the other two congressmen also reacted and waited for Hewlett with suspicious eyes.
"Congressman Pipps, what are you thinking? I am the investigation team sent by the committee to the western suburbs branch. How could David dare to threaten me?"
This is no longer questioning him. His ability was questioned, and his character was even questioned. At this moment, Hewlett was also very angry, and his chest was heaving.
Pips turned his head, looked at Melinda and said: "Chairman Melinda, I don't approve of this investigation. Then David, you don't know something. His methods are very sinister. , I request that an investigation team be sent from Washington this time to investigate again..."
"Why is our David so evil!"
Before Pips finished speaking, a voice of extreme dissatisfaction reached everyone's ears. Everyone turned around and saw Obadiah. and Donald had already opened the door and walked in.
Pips and others were stunned. They did not expect that the two giants from the IRS would suddenly come here.
"Director Obadiah, Deputy Director Donald, why are you here?"
Melinda stood up. As the chairperson of the Taxation Committee, she and the two people who came in It can be said that it is extremely familiar.
"I heard that the results of the investigation have come out, so we came here to see what happened. Why, I just heard from Congressman Pipes that he didn't seem to agree with the results of the investigation?"
As the head of the Internal Revenue Service? Man, Obadiah's aura is naturally not weak. After these words of questioning, the three people of Pips also shrank their necks subconsciously.
