"What the hell is going on, is there any conflict between the state and the IRS?"

"I don't know, it's too sudden, but no matter how you look at it, there must have been some friction between the two sides."

"According to the information I received, the governor's son seems to have died in an accident a few hours ago, and I don't know ......"

"Bang ......"

Seeing the crowd chattering, Saloyan knocked heavily on the table and said dissatisfiedly: "Let you talk about your opinions, but not to talk about these meaningless gossip!" ”

The crowd fell silent, but all of them were wide-eyed, and none of them dared to speak first.

It wasn't until a full minute had passed that a firm voice was heard in the field.

"I think there is something wrong with the state government's instructions, taxes are the foundation of our country, where is the money to pay our salaries and bonuses without taxes? Without taxes, where can we build our cities? Without taxes, where would we get the welfare benefits of our citizens? So, my department won't carry out this kind of instruction! ”

Such righteous and awe-inspiring words made all the high-level officials present, including Saloyan, turn their heads and look at them.

But when they saw the person who spoke, they instantly became speechless.

Because it was none other than Gray who said this!

Others may not know, but as colleagues, they certainly know that Gray has been caught by the IRS.

So on the surface, Gray's words are righteous and awe-inspiring for the country and the people, but in fact, they all know very well that to put it bluntly, they are just afraid of being.

Gray also noticed that there was something wrong with everyone's eyes looking at him, and hurriedly added: "Colleagues, don't blame me for not reminding you, the IRS is not easy to mess with, and you know how powerful David is, if you dare to go against them, maybe the next unlucky person will be you!"

What he said was actually hinting to everyone present, if David can grasp my handle, can't he grasp your handle?

Everyone present can mix with the high-level of the city hall, and their brains are naturally extremely shrewd, of course they heard this, and realized that this is indeed the truth.

First of all, no one dares to say that their butt must be clean, and no one dares to guarantee that they will not be caught.

After all, Gray's example is already here!

Thinking of this, another deputy mayor present also chimed in: "I think Vice Mayor Gray's words ...... There is some truth in Las Vegas, as a world-renowned city, if the tax revenue suddenly drops, it will be difficult for us to explain to the citizens......"

"Well, I think so too......"

“……”

Following the deputy mayor, the rest of the people also chimed in.

The United States of America is a federal state, and in addition to the autonomy of each state, in fact, each city can basically be said to be autonomous.

For example, a governor is elected by voters in his state, and once elected, the president cannot be removed.

In the same way, the mayor is the same.

They are not appointed by the state government, but by the citizens of the city, so even the governor has no power to remove the mayor.

In other words, if they offend the state government, they will be put in small shoes, and their jobs will definitely be saved.

But offending the IRS doesn't have to be.

If they were to fight the town hall, who knows if David would have their handle?

If there is, as long as they are engaged, let alone keep their jobs, it is light to be ruined, and if you don't do it, you will end up in prison!

Everyone present is a smart person, and of course they will choose which is more important!

Saloyan thought about it carefully, and this is indeed the reason, if you have to choose a side between the state government and the IRS, then the IRS seems to be the best choice!

Then he relented and said, "Okay, then regardless of the instructions of the state government, we can do what we have to do!" ”

There are a total of 19 cities in Nevada, and in addition to Las Vegas, the other 18 cities have also received instructions from the state government at this moment.

But unlike Las Vegas, after weighing the pros and cons, the remaining 18 cities have made a different choice from the former.

They chose to carry out the instructions of the state government!

The reason for this is also very simple, because there is no such powerful person as David in the IRS of the rest of the cities, and there is no deputy mayor in their town hall who is caught by David like Gray.

Therefore, they naturally have no fear and choose to carry out the instructions of the state government.

Of course, David, who was still in the Lake District IRS at this time, didn't know about all this, and he was in the office, talking to the fathers of the second ancestor.

"I don't mean to embarrass you, your son's things are not under the control of our IRS, and I don't want to take care of them, as long as you let your son cooperate and give us a confession, then you can leave immediately, otherwise, not only your son, but even you can't get out, understand?"

Listening to David's threat, all the fathers present were silent.

It's true that the people in the room are considered upper-class people in Las Vegas, but they haven't said that they can go against the IRS.

What's more, they have already learned just now that their son has not only committed many crimes such as abetting murder, buying and trafficking in human beings, kidnapping, robbery, and tax evasion.

If this is in the hands of the police, or other law enforcement agencies, they can still rely on their connections to try to settle the matter.

But in the hands of the IRS, they certainly don't have the self-confidence to settle it.

What's more, the tax collector in front of them, they also know that he is a ruthless character.

This is a ruthless person who can make even the Indian tribe obedient!

As the atmosphere fell silent, Bucky pushed the door open and walked in, saying, "Tax Commissioner, a legal adviser who is said to be the state government has arrived, saying he wants to see the people brought back from the Redstone Mountains. ”

"State legal counsel?"

David frowned slightly, it seemed that Governor Stevenson must have sent him, and since he was going to talk to those second ancestors, he probably wanted them to stop talking nonsense.

No way!

You have to get the confession as soon as possible!

"Everyone, go and persuade your sons now, let them cooperate with us!"

After saying this to the fathers, he turned to look at Bucky and said, "Bring that legal counsel here!" ”

Bucky nodded and turned to leave, and the fathers, after looking at each other, did not dare to disobey David's wishes, and turned to the office and walked out of the office.

About five minutes later.

Neeson walked in with a man in a dark gray suit and a briefcase.

[Name: Aldrich Alston.] 】

[Profession: lawyer. 】

[Income: $95,000 in legal income, $120365 in illegal income.] 】

[Income details: On December 16, he resolved a legal dispute for the state treasurer and received a private remuneration of $20,000, and on December 3, he resolved a legal dispute for the state treasurer and received a private remuneration of $15,000, and on January 4, he ......]

[Tax payable: $36,423.] 】

"Tax Collector David, I've been entrusted by the state government to deal with matters related to the Redstone Mountains, and I hope you can make it easy for me to meet those young people!"

The lawyer, Aldrich, showed a hint of impatience, apparently trying to get a quick conversation with the second ancestors and get them done.

David said slowly: "Of course, as a lawyer, you can see anyone you want, but not now, you have to wait for a while!" ”

"What do you mean?"

"It's not interesting, they're just a little busy right now."

As soon as he heard this, Aldrich was anxious, he knew that if the group of second-generation people really honestly confessed that they were confessed by the IRS, they would be in trouble.

He immediately retorted: "Tax Chief David, according to the procedure, our lawyers have the right to talk to them as soon as they arrive!" ”

"You figured it out, what we are bringing back now is not a suspect, but an ordinary citizen, according to the procedure, your power is invalid!"

"You ......"

Aldrich choked.

Yes, he is accustomed to the case-handling mentality of the police and the FBI, and people from these two major law enforcement agencies generally list criminals as suspects before arresting and bringing them back.

And the presence of their lawyer has the right to support the police to talk and give guidance as soon as possible.

But now it's at the IRS.

And David also said that those young people are not suspects, so according to the rules, it seems that this is really the case.

Although he also knew that this was just David's play on words, he really couldn't find any legal basis to refute it for a while.

"Oh yes......"

David pretended to remember something, and said with a sad look: "This time it's the Redstone Mountain incident, the misfortune of the governor's son, I'm deeply sorry for this, but there is no way, we are also enforcing the law, I hope he can understand......"

Aldrich replied: "The governor said that if it is normal law enforcement, of course it is fine, but if it is not in accordance with the rules and regulations...... Then he has something to say! ”

David heard the threat in the other party's words, and then replied: "Of course, our actions this time are in accordance with all the rules and regulations, and after tomorrow, I will send a detailed report of the case to the governor!" ”

Aldrich replied with a smile: "That's naturally the best." ”

While the two of them were talking.

In the interrogation rooms of the inspector's office on the third floor, a noise erupted.

"Father, if I tell everything about it, this will be a lot of trouble, and if I don't do it, I will go to prison, just now the state government has called, saying that I should not talk nonsense, and when they come, they will teach me how to do it, I think it is still ......"

"Wait the, leave the state government alone, Tax Commissioner David has already assured me that the IRS is just collecting taxes, no matter the rest, as long as we record a confession of what happened at that time, we can go home!"

"But ......"

"Bastard, record it for me quickly, or I will cut off the father-son relationship with you, and you will carry it yourself!"

“……”

Under the angry urging of the fathers, the second ancestors still couldn't bear it.

After all, everything they have is nothing more than a family background, and now that their father has said that they have broken off the relationship between father and son, where do they dare to go down.

Immediately, he could only follow the instructions of Bucky Simmons and others, and began to record confessions about the matter in the Redstone Mountains.
