Ye Ming and the four of them followed Manager Zhao to the financial room on the 11th floor. Because Manager Zhao is also the financial director of the hotel, he also has the key to the financial room, so he opened the door first and let Ye Ming and them go in and sit down.

Ten minutes later, two financial staff members arrived.

Ye Ming asked Liu Pengcheng and a few of them to help the financial staff count the account books and vouchers, and explained to them: they can only take away the account books and vouchers of last year and the year before that, and this year's account books cannot be adjusted and checked according to the regulations, so they can only look through them here.

Ye Ming judged that the main clue to the hotel's tax evasion today was the room fee of more than 5,000 yuan paid by Chen Yi in advance, so as soon as he entered, he asked the financial staff to find out the journal for November, and then carefully looked for the business of Chen Yi's accommodation.

As he expected: on the November 6 journal, there was no record of more than 5,000 yuan in the journal. Moreover, the entire journal was registered with some small accommodation businesses of several hundred yuan, and none of them exceeded 2,000 yuan.

From this, he judged that these accounts were false.

So, he stood up and said to Manager Zhao: "Manager Zhao, please ask the financial staff to open all the locked cabinets, drawers and safes in this office, and we want to see if there is any missing information." ”

Manager Zhao said briskly: "Okay! Xiao Wu, you open all the cabinets and let Director Ye and them take a look. ”

After Xiao Wu opened all the cabinets, drawers and safes, Ye Ming walked over and checked them one by one, but found nothing like the ledger.

At this time, Liu Pengcheng and the others had already assisted another accountant in counting the account books and vouchers, and were about to sign the account adjustment list, but Ye Ming suddenly waved his hand and said to Liu Pengcheng: "Director Liu, don't bring these account books and vouchers back, it's useless to check." ”

Liu Pengcheng looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Then what are we checking?" ”

Ye Ming turned his head to look at Manager Zhao, and said with a smile: "Manager Zhao, I'm sorry, please take us to your office, we also want to see if there are any account books and vouchers over there." ”

It turned out that Ye Ming estimated that those real accounts could not be placed in the financial room, waiting for the people from the tax bureau to search for them. However, Manager Zhao is the chief financial officer, and if those real account books are not taken home and hidden in the hotel, they must be in his office.

Therefore, after saying that sentence to Manager Zhao, he stared at him fixedly to see his reaction.

Sure enough, Manager Zhao's face changed suddenly after hearing his words.

After being stunned for a long time, he forced a little smile and stammered: "Director Ye, my office is not a finance department, where will there be any account books and vouchers?" If leaders want to come to my office for a cup of tea, then I am more than welcome. ”

Ye Ming smiled and said, "Okay, let's go to Manager Zhao's office for a cup of tea!" ”

Manager Zhao was difficult to ride a tiger at this time, and with a hint of luck, he took Ye Ming and others to his general manager's office.

As soon as Ye Ming entered, he swept around with his eyes, looking for a place where Manager Zhao might be hiding the ledgers and vouchers.

Finally, his eyes fell on a small inconspicuous safe in the corner of the office.

So, he pointed to the safe and said to Manager Zhao: "Manager Zhao, please open the safe, we want to see if there is any tax-related information in it." ”

Manager Zhao showed a look of imperceptible contempt on his face, and pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Director Ye, that's my personal safe, and it's my personal belongings, so don't open it!" ”

Ye Ming saw that he was reluctant to open it, and thought that it was greasy inside, so he said very seriously: "Manager Zhao, I have sufficient grounds to believe that your hotel is suspected of major tax evasion, so now I need you to cooperate with us to conduct an inspection." Of course, the law stipulates that our tax office does not have the power to search, you can not open this safe, and we can't do anything to you. However, if you do so, you are refusing to cooperate with our tax inspection. Starting tomorrow, I will apply to the tax collection and management department of the county bureau to suspend the supply of receipts in your hotel and confiscate your tax control cash register on the grounds that you are suspected of tax evasion and refusal to cooperate with the tax inspection. Think for yourself: if you are willing to cooperate, open the safe; If you don't want to cooperate, a few of us will leave immediately! ”

Manager Zhao seemed to be frightened by these words, and hurriedly said, "Director Ye is serious, serious!" How dare I not cooperate with the inspection of the leaders? I opened the safe right away. ”

With that, he walked over, bent down and opened the safe with the key.

Ye Ming and Liu Pengcheng walked over and asked him to open the small drawers in the safe one by one, and when they looked closely, there were really only some cash, checks, treasury bills, gold necklaces and the like, and they didn't even see a page.

After Manager Zhao waited for them to finish reading, he took the initiative to open several locked drawers on the desk and opened them for Ye Ming and the others to see, and there were no account books and vouchers in them.

After looking at the safe and all the drawers, Ye Ming was also slightly surprised, and at the same time a little disappointed: What's going on? Could it be that I made a mistake in judgment? Or, is it Manager Zhao who took the real ledger home and hid it? If that's the case, there's nothing you can do......

So, he reluctantly looked around the office, and finally fixed his eyes on the row of bookcases to the right of the window.

After careful inspection, he suddenly saw something unusual: this row of bookcases was the kind of monolithic bookcases embedded in the wall and connected to the wall, divided into three layers, with glass doors on the outside. Through the glass door, you can clearly see the neatly arranged books inside.

Ye Ming found that the first and third layers of these three layers of books are some paperback books, and the second layer is all some hardcover classics.

The strangest thing is that the books in the very middle of the second layer seem to be constantly turned over, and the color is completely different from the dusty books on the sides and on the first and third floors, and even gives a shiny feeling.

After seeing this strange phenomenon, his heart moved, glanced at Manager Zhao, and then slowly walked towards the bookcase.

After standing on the edge of the bookcase, he opened the glass door outside, turned his head and glanced at Manager Zhao intentionally or unintentionally, only to see that he suddenly showed a panicked expression, and fine beads of sweat actually bulged out on his face......

Ye Ming saw Manager Zhao's panicked look, and his heart was even more bottomed, so he moved away the few tome hardcover books in the middle of the second floor, and looked inside, only to see a small boxy drawer on the wall inside the bookcase. When I opened the drawer, there were several blue-covered ledgers lying inside......
