Chapter 156: Pull out Stevenson's minions first
Bucky immediately reprimanded: "Even if you want to be greedy, you should report and pay taxes, so that now we will not be so passive!" β
"I ......"
Poppy's face flushed, unable to speak.
"Hand over the gun and tax badge, you are suspended, and Ariel, get him a file sheet and pay the tax first!"
This time it was David who spoke.
It's actually a little late to let Poppy enter the file to pay taxes now.
Stevenson has this information, and as long as it breaks out, he will still be caught in the storm of public opinion.
But there is no way, the program that needs to be done still needs to be done.
Otherwise, he will really bend the law for personal gain.
As soon as he heard that he was going to pay the gun and suspend his job, Bobby was anxious and shouted with a crying voice: "Tax Chief, I know it's wrong, let me go this time, I won't dare to ...... again"
If this is something else, based on the friendship of the same team members, Simmons and many others will more or less plead for mercy.
But now that such a serious matter is at stake, they naturally don't dare to say anything.
David replied without any emotion: "We are law enforcement people, we should know what to do and what not to do, since you have done it, you must bear the consequences!" β
Hearing this, Poppy knew that he was finished, and his face was full of great remorse, but in the end, he honestly took out his gun and tax badge and put them on the table, and then walked out with his head down.
And Ariel also walked out, ready to deal with the matter of paying taxes and filing the file.
David looked at the remaining six people and said solemnly: "I don't want to see this kind of thing a second time, understand?" β
"Got it......"
The six replied in unison.
"Bucky, Bradley, Condriv, let's go find out about the criminals involved, control them if you can, pry their mouths open, and see who did it!"
The information sent by the state government is very professional.
David could tell at a glance that it was certainly not something that Stevenson's straw bale agencies could do.
It must have been done by someone from some professional organization.
So what he has to do now is not to fight back against Stevenson or anything, but to first pull out the minions that investigated the information for him, so as to avoid such a thing from happening again.
"Good!"
The three of Bucky immediately took the order and left.
"Nison Simmons, you two get ready and go to the central library!"
The counterfeit money case is about to begin, and no matter what, the case must be completed first, otherwise all the work done will be wasted.
When the two were gone, only Serena was left in the office.
"Tax Chief David, if you need it, we can step in and solve this problem for you, Stevenson!"
David just wanted to open his mouth to send her to do some clerical work, but he didn't expect Serena to speak first.
She had always had the idea of pulling David into their camp.
And now she felt that this was an opportunity.
David looked at Serena and paused for a moment before replying, "No need, I'll just fix it myself!" β
Although a governor is a high-ranking authority, he knows that with the energy of the Ken Halfy family, it is indeed not too difficult to settle down.
After all, the Schwarzinger was just an actor, but because he was involved in the Ken Shan family, the Ken Shan family could forcibly elevate him to the position of governor.
And he was still raised to California, which ranked third in the United States, and then his messy level of governance could actually help him be re-elected.
This shows how great the energy of the Ken Doudi family is.
But there are two sides to everything.
The Ken Baddy family's sworn enemies are the top group of people in the whole of America, and he doesn't want to take this risk now.
Serena looked at David's determined face and touched her red lips back and forth, but in the end she didn't say anything, just nodded, and walked out of the office.
David also stood up, put his coat on his body, picked up the tax badge and the gun, and went downstairs.
Then he and Nissen Simmons shared a car in the direction of the library in the center of the big block.
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 and trees, and many citizens bask in the sun at this time.
"Simmons, are you sure they're trading here?"
Neeson drove here, and when he saw that it was close to the city hall and crowded with people, he couldn't help but be a little suspicious.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a place suitable for counterfeit money syndicates to trade!
"I've checked with IsidΓ³ several times, of course...... Look, he's there! β
As soon as Simmons finished speaking, he saw a Mercedes stop about 30 meters in front of them, and Isidore walked down with a black suitcase, and then walked in the direction of the library.
"Let's go, let's go along, keep a low profile!"
Because he has been on TV a lot recently, many people know his face, so before getting out of the car, David also deliberately put on a mask and a baseball cap.
After the three of them got out of the car, they scattered and kept a certain distance, pretending to be citizens who came to the library to read books, and walked in as if nothing had happened.
The library has a number of reading areas, including a quiet study room, a comfortable reading room, and a multimedia area.
The three of them followed Isidore to an area of the history books, only to see him walk to a locker not far away, enter the code to open the box, then take out a small suitcase from it, stuff his suitcase into it, and then lift it and leave.
As he walked in front of David, he also gave David a vague look, implying that his mission had been accomplished.
For the rest of the day, the three of them pretended to be reading a book while staring at the locker to see who would show up.
What it will look like in about twenty minutes.
In anticipation of the trio, a man about 18 or 9 years old wearing a hip-hop hat appeared.
He came to the locker, expertly typed in the code, took out the suitcase, and then picked it up and walked away as if nothing had happened.
[Name: Maxwell Ian.] γ
[Occupation: unemployed. γ
[Income: $9,000.] γ
[Income details: On December 7, he touched the customer's wallet in a nightclub and made a profit of $800, on December 14, he sold two packs of contraband and made a profit of $1,000, and on January 11, he helped someone pick up contraband and made a profit of $300......]
[More details: ......]
[Tax payable: $900.] γ
After reviewing this guy's personal information, David was a little disappointed.
This guy is not a member of the counterfeit money syndicate at all.
It's just an errand runner who was hired by a counterfeit money syndicate and came to help withdraw money.
"Tax Collector, he's gone."
Seeing that David was still distracted, Neeson hurriedly walked to his side to remind him.
David came to his senses and immediately followed.
Outside the library, the man, Maxwell, got into a Chevrolet and headed for the Strip.
And the three of Davy didn't ink, quickly jumped into the car and started, and then chased after them.
After about three kilometers of driving, the two cars came to a traffic light intersection at a red light.
But in the next second, a sudden change occurred.
Under the gaze of everyone, the Chevrolet in front of him rolled down the window, and the door of the Alpha that was turning left next to him suddenly opened.
The young man, Maxwell, threw the suitcase he had taken from the library into the door of Alpha's car.
After doing all this, the left turn signal suddenly turned green, and the Alpha instantly accelerated and turned away.
All of this happened in a matter of seconds.
Neeson, who reacted, tried to catch up even though he wanted to hang up, but he was stopped by David.
"Don't chase it yet!"
If you catch up now, there is a high probability that it will not be discovered by Alpha; It was discovered by the young man named Muskville.
David thought for a moment and instructed Simmons, "Call the traffic department and ask them to keep an eye on this car with the surveillance system...... By the way, and the suitcase, see where the final destination is! β
Simmons immediately took out his cell phone and dialed the traffic department.
Neeson, on the other hand, found a place to park the car and wait.
An hour later, after the three of them were getting impatient, Simmons finally got a call.
After hanging up, he said indignantly: "This gang is really cunning, according to the traffic department, they went back and forth in the big block several times, and the suitcase also converted five cars, and then left the big block." β
Hearing this, the two people on the side finally understood, they said, how could it be so long.
Immediately, David asked, "And where did they go to their final destination?" β
"Outside the suburbs, in the direction of Ansheng Paper Mill on the side of Sparks City Boulevard."
"Ansheng Paper Mill ......"
Generally speaking, counterfeit banknotes and paper making are indeed similar, so if you look at it this way, this paper mill is likely to be the base of the counterfeit banknote group.
David immediately picked up the phone and dialed Keanu's number.
"What's the situation, Tax Collector David?"
"There has been a breakthrough in the counterfeit banknote case, let's send two inspection teams out, let's go to Ansheng Paper Factory to enforce the law!"
"Ansheng Paper Mill?"
On the side of the large block bureau, Keanu was stunned when he heard this.
Of course, he knew that counterfeit banknotes and paper production had a lot in common.
Therefore, places like paper mills and printing houses have long been inspected by him.
And this Ansheng paper mill, he 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 someone to come over!"
"Okay, I'll arrange it...... Oh no, I'll lead the team myself! β
Keanu also wanted to see if the paper mill, which he had ruled out suspicion, was the stronghold of the counterfeit syndicate as David had claimed.
If so, then how did this counterfeit money syndicate escape so many times of interrogation by their large block bureaus.
β¦β¦
Ansheng Paper Mill.
When the three Davids arrived, Keanu's men hadn't arrived yet.
In order not to startle the snake and the conflict, they waited another 20 minutes before the people from the large block bureau arrived.
"Tax Collector David, I've kept you waiting."
"It's just a matter of waiting, let's go in first!"
The paper mill sits next to a wide river, which provides ample water for the mill.
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 the others stepped in, the security guard at the security booth walked up with a vigilant face.
"IRS!"
Neeson showed off his tax badge, and then David and the others ignored him and led everyone straight into the factory.
In the tall factory, the machines are like huge steel giants, making a low roar, running all the time, transforming all kinds of raw materials into thin sheets of paper.
On the production line, workers are busy shuttling, wearing hard hats, overalls, and tools in hand, meticulously operating every step.
In the process of making paper, the raw materials are fed into the machine, where they undergo a series of complex chemical reactions and physical treatments to finally turn into sheets of smooth, white paper.
At the other end of the mill, a large amount of paper is piled up in the storage area, where they are neatly stacked, waiting to be transported and distributed.
After a long look at it, they found that it was indeed just an ordinary paper mill, and they really didn't see anything to do with counterfeit banknotes.
But David is different, he does not pay much attention to the inside of the paper mill, his eyes are mainly on the workers on the site.
But after some 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 over in the left passage, and his eyes burst into a ray of fine light.
[Name: Faulkner Ban.] γ
[Occupation: Paper mill holder. γ
[Income: monthly legal income of $120,000, illegal income of $1.35 million. γ
[Revenue details: The share of the equipment and venue facilities provided by the counterfeit banknote group ......]
[More details: ......]
[Tax payable: $534,600.] γ
"Isn't this the Keanu tax inspector, how many times do you IRS come to us to check, we have to complain about you, you always come to disturb our business!"
The owner of the paper mill, Faulkner, apparently knew Keanu, and when they met, they complained.
And Keanu was a little embarrassed, but when he thought that David wanted to investigate, he also came a little confident, and replied: "It makes sense for our IRS to investigate you, what are you anxious about, Mr. Faulkner, you can't be a thief, right?" β
"Am I a thief?"
Faulkner was angry and reprimanded: "Okay, okay, then you can check, whatever you want, if you can't find out the reason today, our paper mill tax is not paid for nothing, and your IRS must give us an explanation!" β
Keanu stopped talking, but looked at David.
David walked up to Faulkner, looked him in the eye and asked, "Mr. Faulkner, we're tracking down a counterfeit syndicate, I don't know, have you heard of it?" β
"What kind of counterfeit banknote group, we are a papermaker here, not a counterfeit banknote, you have come to the wrong place!"
"Are you sure?"
"Of course I'm sure, if you don't believe you ask Keanu to check the tax inspector, he doesn't know how many times he's searched us!"
David turned his head to look at Keanu, who nodded his head, indicating that he really didn't notice anything unusual here.
Immediately after, David turned to look at Simmons and ordered, "Get me two large excavators!" β
As soon as these words came out, everyone at the scene was stunned.
Faulkner was the first to react, with a subtle hint of panic in his eyes, and asked, "What do you want to do?" β
"You confirm that your paper mill is fine, but I confirm that your paper mill is fine, so what should I do? Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I have to prove that I am right! β
David's brutal words made Faulkner not know what to say, and in the end, he could only pretend to be tough and replied: "You...... You can't do that, it's deliberately damaging the property of citizens, I can sue you! β
"You can sue you, but if I really dig up something, then it's hard to say who will sue whom!"
"No, you can't do that!"
David didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, so he gave Simmons a look, and Simmons immediately understood, took out his mobile phone and began to arrange.
At this time, Faulkner doesn't see much on the surface, but in fact, he is like an ant on a hot pot inside.
If the excavator really drove over, unless he really had the kind of ability space in the image, no matter how hidden he was, it would definitely be exposed.
And the movement of the excavator is so big, it will attract the attention of the people around him, and he will be really finished at that time!
After weighing the pros and cons in his heart for a long time, he finally bit Davy and said, "What do you want?" β
Seeing Faulkner's urgent look, the inspectors in Keanu and other street districts at this time also looked moved.
Don't...... Is it true that the counterfeit syndicate is hiding in this paper mill, as David said?
"What else can we think about the IRS, it's nothing more than collecting taxes, as long as we pay taxes, then 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 the location of the people, there was an unmanned machine area underground.
"Something isn't going well, and the IRS guys probably found something, otherwise Faulkner wouldn't have looked like this."
"Damn, haven't the IRS guys been here several times, but they haven't been able to spot us, why did they find out all of a sudden?"
"Don't you see who is leading the team this time, it is Davy, who led the armed operation and caused two major earthquakes in Sparks and Henderson, this person is not simple."
It is a basement of about 100 square meters.
There were ten people inside, one of whom was younger, in their early 30s, and the two were constantly looking at the surveillance screen and talking.
Around them, there were ink, paper, counterfeit banknote templates, various instruments and equipment, and stacks of printed counterfeit banknotes.
