It was the next day.

City of Henderson, in front of the IRS City Office.

The local media, as well as the media in the surrounding cities, who received the news, have already stopped to broadcast early.

"Good morning, citizens, it's 8:20 a.m., 40 minutes before the IRS court time, and now we can see that City Hall, City Hall, and some entrepreneurs from the City of Henderson have been invited here, so let's see what happens......

At the same time as the media from all walks of life announced, the people invited from all walks of life did come to the scene one after another and walked into the city bureau one after another.

"Tax Chief David is here!"

At about 8:40, I don't know who shouted at the scene, and then the media who were originally busy broadcasting turned their heads to look at it.

Isn't it, David has already walked over from the parking lot.

Due to the armed sorties previously led by David; Coupled with the earthquake in Sparks and now Henderson, he himself has long been a huge traffic representative.

Therefore, seeing his appearance, the media at the scene immediately rushed up with a microphone, wanting to interview a few words before the trial to earn a wave of traffic.

"Tax Collector David, are you confident that the IRS will be able to convict those two members of the City Hall in this trial?"

"Tax Collector David, if you can't be convicted, then how can your IRS explain to the city hall and the citizens?"

"Say a few words, Davy, Tax Commissioner......"

In the face of the media's gossip and questioning, David had no intention of answering.

And the two Barkinison in front of him also turned into two thick mobile walls, escorting him all the way into the hall of the city bureau.

"Tax Chief David!"

Jennifer Edward and the others have already arrived here, talking to other sub-bureaus and some high-level executives of the city bureau here.

As soon as she saw David coming, she immediately greeted her and asked with concern, "How is it Davy, Tax Collector, how did you sleep last night?" ”

David replied with a relaxed face, "It's okay." ”

"Oh yes, let me introduce you, this is the ...... of our city bureau"

In the following time, Jennifer introduced David to the director and deputy director of the city bureau one by one, as well as the senior officials of other sub-bureaus.

Although in terms of level, each of these people is several levels higher than David, but because Davy has been in the limelight recently.

It's clear to people throughout the IRS system.

In the future, as long as David doesn't make any big mistakes, it will definitely be on the rise.

It is not impossible to even be transferred to a high position in the General Directorate.

Therefore, whether it is the city director here or the other branch chiefs, they are all extremely polite to David.

"Almost, it's time for us to go in!"

During the conversation, the time had come to 8.50 minutes, and Jennifer proposed to go to court first to prepare for the trial.

Immediately, everyone got on the elevator and came to the courtroom on the 7th floor.

And when everyone entered and sat down one after another, the time came to 9 o'clock.

"All stand up!"

In the passageway, a white man in a black judge's robe, probably in his forties, walked up.

His steps were steady and powerful, as if to show people her authority and solemnity.

"Please be seated!"

After arriving at the judge's seat, he sat down, and all the people who had been invited to the auditorium also sat down.

"Take the defendant!"

The words fell, and in the passage on the other side, Sharp and Clement were escorted out.

It may be because there are examples of Beecher and Adelaide in the front.

After these two people were brought out at this time, they looked a little haggard and uneasy, and they completely lost the temperament and demeanor of their previous high positions.

"Defendants Sharp and Clement, now this court charges you for suspected tax evasion, and the amount is huge, plus as a public official, under the premise of knowing the black tax bill, you still know the law and break the law, which is extremely bad in nature, do you have anything to say?"

In the face of Sandy's questioning from the judge's bench, Benthham, the legal counsel of the city hall, took the lead in standing up from the lawyer's bench and argued: "Your Excellency, I firmly believe that my clients are innocent, and if you want to convict them, please show evidence!" ”

Sandy didn't speak, but opened a document bag that had been placed on the table a long time ago, took out a few documents from it, and said: "Here is the investigation of Tax Chief David and the Vale Bureau, about Sharp, Clement, and some illegal transactions, it has been verified!" ”

As soon as they heard that the verification was correct, Sharp and Clement in the defendant's dock immediately turned pale.

And the city hall and other officials who were watching were also anxious and difficult to settle down.

"Your Excellency, may I take a look at these documents?"

Bentham certainly can't sit still.

He wanted to see for himself whether these documents were really true, and if so, whether he could find any counter-points from them.

Sandy did not refuse, and handed the documents into the hands of a court worker.

After the staff member took it, he went to the lawyer's bench and handed it over to Bentham.

Bentham pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and examined them carefully.

But as the content kept coming to mind, his face became more and more ugly.

As a good lawyer, he can tell at a glance whether a document is genuine or whether there is any falsification in it.

And on these documents, there are clear records of the transactions and details of Sharp, Clement, and those criminals.

Not only are the details of the time and date of each transaction, but also the final amount of these payments that were laundered and remitted to those accounts, all of which are clearly recorded.

Not to mention that the IRS has such a powerful inspection system, even if you find two police officers to investigate, you can quickly confirm it.

"Bentham, show me!"

In the dock, looking at Bentham's appearance, Sharpton felt bad, and immediately wanted to see what was on the document.

Bentham sighed helplessly, walked to the dock, and placed the documents in front of them.

The two of them immediately flipped out a copy of each of them and quickly browsed it.

But soon, their faces became extremely ugly, just like Bentham before.

Among them, Sharp was even more angry, and scolded: "Fuck this damn Achill......"

"Silence!"

Sandy on the stage knocked on the gavel and said, "Defendants Sharp, Clement, and defense lawyers, do you have anything else to say?" ”

"Your Excellency, these documents ...... I think some details are not detailed enough, in order to give an explanation to the citizens of Henderson City, I think we should investigate in more detail, and we can't just close the case in a hurry, so that we can convince the public! ”

Bentham certainly knew that the contents of the documents must be true.

He did this just to get an adjournment.

As soon as the court adjourned, he would immediately go to the top of the city hall and advise them that whether they went to the IRS to admit their mistakes or kneel and beg for mercy, they could not go on any more trial.

Otherwise, Sharp Clement is in and decided!

And the image of the town hall will probably be as hard hit as Sparks City, and everyone will have to be unlucky when the time comes!

"Since you don't think it's detailed enough, then good, let's call the witnesses!"

As soon as Sandy's words came out, Bentham was instantly stunned.

He didn't expect that the IRS would be able to get these documents and materials, and even the witnesses had been arranged.

Now, his plan to adjourn the court and let the city hall beg for mercy may be considered a failure.

In the midst of his thoughts, five men were brought out.

And these five people are Sharp and Clement's old acquaintances.

As for Achill, who had just caused Sharp to scold, he was also among them.

"Witness, please introduce your identity to everyone first, and then explain what you want to testify about one by one!"

Achill was the first to stand up, first glanced at Sharp, who had a hideous face, and then at David who was cross-legged in the auditorium, and then said: "Your Excellency, in January 2020, when the valley area was preparing to plan an urban construction plan, and later I met Mr. Sharp, the city manager, through a friend's introduction. ”

"And on December 16, 2021, through a bribe of $300,000, I got the plan from Mr. Sharp in advance, and then ......"

Achill detailed every transaction he made with Sharp.

After listening to the words, the members of the auditorium and the city hall all felt that their body strength had been drained, and they collapsed weakly on their chairs.

Because they know that Sharp is finished, completely finished!

"Your Excellency, my name is Gatasia......"

"Your Excellency, my name is Forsberg......

"Your Excellency Judge......"

“……”

In the following time, the remaining four witnesses also went into battle, and all the relationships and transactions with Sharp Clement were all told in 1510.

"You damn bastards, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you!"

Sharp looked at the people who were pointing at him, and rushed forward while roaring.

Fortunately, the inspector who guarded him was still quick-eyed, and immediately grabbed him and pressed him to his seat.

As for Clement, after being distracted for a while, he suddenly reacted, he quickly looked in David's direction, and said with a crying voice: "Director Jennifer, Tax Commissioner David, and all the gentlemen of the IRS, our city hall knows that it is wrong, and will cancel the crackdown, okay, let us go......"

He knew that Beecher and Adelaide of Sparks were sentenced to 1,200 years.

That's 1,200 years!

And it's the kind that can never be paroled.

He didn't want to go to the prison and be the living dead for the rest of his life.

Therefore, even if he was so out of shape in court, even in front of so many people, he didn't care at all.

Because this is the court of the IRS, as long as his plea for mercy can impress the IRS, there is no need to sit in prison and say nothing, and the official can continue to do it!

What is face and dignity in comparison?

Looking at Clement's dignified deputy mayor, now he was almost begging for mercy, and everyone in the auditorium also looked at each other.

But they didn't mean to laugh at or despise Clement.

Because if they were the ones in the dock now, most of them would choose to put down their dignity and seek peace in the face of such a severe punishment.

As for the members of the town hall who were in attendance, they felt a burst of heat and shame on their faces at this time.

But even so, they didn't blame Clement too much.

At this time, they were even more expecting that David, and the other senior executives of the IRS, would accept Clement's surrender on behalf of their town hall.

Because as long as the IRS accepts it, at least there is room for redemption!

It's a pity that the words of Judge Sandy on the stage next made them look like ashes.

On stage, Sandy first glanced at David, Jennifer and others on the stage, and after seeing their unmoved expressions.

He didn't have anything to hesitate, he stood up directly, and pronounced the verdict: "The defendant Sharp, convicted on suspicion of tax evasion, and the amount is huge, plus the crime of knowing the law and violating the law as a public official is added to the first degree, and he was sentenced to 1,200 years in prison, without parole for life, and collected taxes of 510,000 US dollars!" ”

Sharp, who was still angry just now, was also frightened to the point of losing his soul after hearing that the punishment of 1200 years had fallen on his head.

"The defendant Clement was convicted on suspicion of tax evasion, and the amount was huge, plus the crime of knowing the law as a public official and violating the law was added to the first degree, and he was sentenced to 1,200 years in prison, without parole for life, and 280,000 US dollars in taxes!"

Like Sharp, after hearing that he was also happy to mention 1200 years, Clement lost his soul and his eyes became even more glazed.

"Alright, this trial is over!"

As Sandy's verdict fell, the people invited to the auditorium stood up and left.

Jennifer David and others came to Sandy and shook hands with him one by one with a smile to celebrate the complete success of the trial.

……

City of Carson, the Governor's official residence.

"What, convicted again, or 1200? Fack! ”

Since the trial site is not allowed to be broadcast live and no electronic communication equipment is allowed, it is only now that Eugene has received a call notification.

But after listening to the results of the trial, he instantly became angry and even scolded.

After a long time, Eugene, who had adjusted his mood, came to the door of a room, knocked on it and walked in.

Inside the room, Stevenson was talking to his wife, Abbe Ingrid.

And Abbe was holding a photo frame with teary eyes, crying: "I don't care, in short, I have to kill my son's person and pay the due price, if you can't do it, I can go to my uncle for help!" ”

Stevenson's eyelids jumped at the word 'uncle'.

In the United States, without the background and resources, it is almost as difficult to run as successful as a governor.

And the reason why he became the governor of Nevada is, of course, not how capable he is and how powerful his family is.

But with the support of the Mogen family behind his wife, this has been able to get to this point.

Now in his eighth year in Nevada, he is about to step down.

His plan is to run for the Senate or president after leaving office to continue to maintain his influence in the political arena.

Of course, this must be supported by the Mogen family.

But now it's happening, and David is just a tax collector at the IRS.

For a person of his level, he is not even a small official.

And as the governor of a state, he has been working hard in Nevada for 8 years, and he can't even handle such a small Karami, and he has to ask the Mogen family for help, so what will the people of the Mogen family think?

People will definitely question his ability, how can they support him to run for the Senate or even the presidency in the future?

"Don't worry, Abbey, don't bother your uncle, I'll take care of this matter, you have a good rest first, don't cry......"

Stevenson comforted Abbe, then gave Eugene a look and motioned to go out and talk later.

"It's not going to be good, Governor, I just got the news from Henderson City that the two town hall members have been convicted again, or 1200 years of torture!"

Coming to the corridor outside, Eugene immediately told the whole story.

"!"

"This bastard, can you really fuck whoever you want?"

Judging from Eugene's expression just now, Stevenson had already guessed a little, but after hearing that it was confirmed, he couldn't help but kick the vase to vent his anger.

Even now, he still can't understand how David did it.

Eugene didn't dare to take a breath, and said weakly: "I estimate that the remaining 16 cities are already holding an emergency meeting now, I'm afraid that no matter how much we threaten to give more benefits, we won't be able to stabilize them!" ”

Eugene was afraid that Stevenson would let him coerce and lure the 16 city halls again, so he hurriedly said it first.

Stevenson was silent.

He is not a fool, and the other 16 city halls are no fools either.

Two cities in succession were cleaned up by David such a big earthquake, if these people still have the courage to continue to carry out his strike hard instructions, then the courage is probably made by the water tank!

"But Governor, although the Strike Hard Directive is almost bankrupt, his approach has also given me an inspiration......

Seeing that Eugene seemed to have some clever plan, Stevenson immediately asked, "What inspiration?" ”

Eugene showed a bit of sinister expression in his expression, and said: "He can use tax evasion to rectify the city hall and force the city hall to compromise, so can't we use this method to rectify him, or their IRS?" ”

These words made Stevenson's eyes light up instantly.

That's right!

If they can find evidence of David's tax evasion, or bribery, the bastard is dead!

And definitely died worse than Beecher and Adelaide!

After all, David is known for his iron-fisted crackdown on tax evasion, and now many people in Nevada and the country regard him as an idol.

And if he himself is suspected of tax evasion, wouldn't these fans be like being slapped in the face?

When the time comes, whether it is fans or the public, it will definitely set off a monstrous anger!

Not only will this bastard be ruined, but he will also reap the consequences of what he planted!

After all, people like Beecher and Adelaide are good at knowing the law and breaking the law!

But you, David, as the tax commissioner of the IRS, know more about the black tax bill than Beecher and Adelaide, but you dare to accept bribes to evade taxes, so you can't use 1,200 years of torture, right?

It will take at least 2-3000 years to be able to benchmark, right?
