Chapter 168: Want Me to Help You Get Up?
The corners of David's mouth raised slightly, and he was secretly saying in his heart, why didn't you say that earlier?
"Don't rush now, just wait for my notice when the time comes!"
Lawson nodded in understanding, but in the blink of an eye, he seemed to think of something again, and instead said, "Since you want to deal with Stevenson, then I have a proposal!" ”
David, who had just wanted to get up and leave, stopped his movements when he heard this, and asked, "What proposal?" ”
"To put it mildly, Tax Commissioner David, although you have been in the limelight lately, you are only a tax collector of the IRS, and I, at present, am only a Senate candidate, and it is still a little difficult to bring down the most powerful person in Nevava, so it is better to ...... It's not as good as ......."
Seeing that Lawson wanted to stop talking but looked cunning and cunning, David was impatient, and said directly: "What's better, just say it directly, there is no need to beat around the bush now." ”
"Okay, then I'll be straight to the point!"
Lawson organized the language and said, "I think that if we want to bring down Stevenson, we need at least one person who can be equal to him, and I'm only a Senate candidate now, and if you can help me sweep away my rivals and get to the top of the office, then I think our chances will be much better!" ”
Since David can collect his handles, he must also be able to collect the handles of the other Senate candidates.
And if David can help him get the other Senate candidates, the odds against Stevenson will be much greater.
Of course, Lawson didn't say this single-mindedly to deal with Stevenson, he was more interested in using David to make himself successful.
David naturally saw Lawson's desire to take advantage of his position, and sneered: "Mr. Lawson, your calculation is quite loud. ”
Lawson smirked and did not speak.
"Just wait for me to let me know."
Lawson's proposal is good.
Unbeknownst to him, however, Davy was only planning to join forces with him.
David is also ready to join the lieutenant governor and the secretary of state, and when the time comes, several parties will attack Stevenson together, which is much more powerful than a single senator.
In addition, the Senate election will not start until November, and it is only February, so there are still five or six months to go, and he certainly can't wait for that time to help Lawson get to power, and then turn his head against Stevenson.
What he has to do now is to solve Stevenson's trouble as quickly as possible, so that his tax work can return to normal and go all out to attack the god-making plan.
……
The government of Nevada, located in the heart of Carson, is the heart of the city and the center of political, economic, and cultural exchange.
There are many important public buildings and commercial facilities in the surrounding area, such as city halls, courthouses, libraries, shopping malls, etc.
The state government building is a magnificent classicist building with tall columns and a dignified appearance.
The interior of the building is also very beautiful, and when you look up from the main gate, you can see the luxurious marble floors, elaborate frescoes and ornate chandeliers.
4:50 p.m.
A Volvo came to a stop on the street across from the state government.
"According to the information, the office hours of the state government end at 5 o'clock, and officials such as the secretary of state and the lieutenant governor will also go home at this time."
It was David and the others sitting in the car, and it was Simmons who spoke just now.
Sure enough.
When the time came to five o'clock, I saw that the staff and officials of the state government began to come out of it one after another.
David's gaze began to sharpen, as if looking for something in the crowd.
Soon, a man in a suit with a baby face in his 40s came into his eyes.
[Name: Laurie Frederick.] 】
[Occupation: Lieutenant Governor of Nevada.] 】
[Income: Legal monthly income of $19,000, illegal income of $41,000.] 】
[Income details: On December 18, he received a ruby from an official of Sparks City Hall worth $8,000, and on December 28, he received an agate from a merchant in Reno City, worth $6,000, and ...... on January 11]
[More details: ......]
[Tax payable: $12,500.] 】
After reviewing the lieutenant governor's message, David's expression was also slightly funny.
I really can't believe that this lieutenant governor is still a gem lover.
But on second thought, with Stevenson being constrained everywhere, this Laurie may have to pass the time by drinking tea and researching gems.
"Aldington Joe is out too!"
Hearing Neeson's words on the side, David immediately put away his thoughts and looked up.
Sure enough, about ten meters behind Laurie, a somewhat bloated man walked out talking and laughing with several state government officials.
[Name: Aldington Joe.] 】
[Occupation: Nevada Secretary of State.] 】
[Income: $17,800 in legal income, $1.2 million in illegal income.] 】
[Details of income: On December 6, he accepted a bribe from a Virginia businessman to contract a road project from the state government to the other party, making a profit of $200,000, and on December 27, he accepted $300,000 from a businessman in Renault to change the legal law of the city's red-light district......]
[More details: ......]
[Tax payable: $475,200.] 】
"Another Huge Greedy ......"
Even after the secretary of state's message, David's mood was happier than before.
After all, if the 470,000 tax amount can be received, it can be regarded as a large amount of income.
"Let's go back first!"
Back at the Ninglin Branch, David entered his temporary office and transferred the information obtained through the golden finger; One by one, I wrote them down on paper.
After more than half an hour, after confirming that everything was correct, he found the three Bakinison Simmons in, pushed the written paper to them, and said: "Go and assist the tax commissioner of Betsy, and ask them to send someone to the cities overnight to get the confessions, information, and financial details of the people inside as soon as possible!" ”
"Understood."
There was no word all night, and the time came to the afternoon of the next day.
David was in his office looking through the files of the Carson City case when Bucky walked in with two file bags in his hand and said, "That's all done." ”
David took the file bag, opened it and examined it carefully.
And as the content continued to enter the eye, his expression gradually became satisfied.
Because these two documents are indeed based on the information he gave, they have all been investigated.
For example, Aldington Joe's financial details, recent spending, and laundered accounts are all in the book.
As for Laurie, there are information about the merchants who gave him the gems, as well as some photographs taken by monitors in some places when the gems were received.
David looked at his watch, it was 4.10 p.m., and there were 50 minutes left before the state government got off work.
He stood up and said, "Go and wait for Lieutenant Governor Laurie at his house!" ”
The lieutenant governor does not have an official residence arranged by the state government like the governor, and the home of Lieutenant Governor Laurie is located in a residential area in Tianxiang Bay, Carson City.
When I arrived, it was exactly 5 o'clock.
David and the others rang the doorbell of Laurie's house, and about a minute later, a white woman in her early 40s opened the door and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”
Neeson directly showed his tax badge and said, "We're from the IRS and want to talk to Lieutenant Governor Laurie." ”
The white woman was stunned for a moment, then said, "My husband hasn't come back yet." ”
David took over the conversation and said, "It's okay ma'am, we can wait for him!" ”
The white woman paused, but eventually made a gesture of please, and when David came to the living room, she asked, "Do you need something to drink, gentlemen from the IRS?" ”
"No need ma'am."
The white woman didn't say anything more, but picked up the phone on the table and ran to the bathroom to dial it.
At the same time, about seven or eight kilometers away, on a Cadillac, Laurie, who received the call, was a little confused and immediately asked, "Why did someone from the IRS come to my house?" Did they explain why? ”
"They just said they wanted to talk to you."
Laurie was silent for a few seconds, then replied, "Okay, I'll be there in about ten minutes, I'll deal with it when I get back!" ”
Ten minutes later, Laurie's Cadillac returned to his home.
After getting out of the car, he immediately took out the key and opened the door, and walked quickly to the living room, but when he came here and saw David's face, he immediately froze.
Although he is said to be a mascot in the state government, he basically does nothing every day.
However, David was armed to invade the Indian tribes, and he was the town hall official of Henderson and Sparks, how could he not know and not know?
However, he thinks that he is still incorruptible, and there is no possibility that there will be any problems in taxation.
In addition, he had never offended Davy, so Laurie really didn't understand what the other party was doing when he approached him.
"Lieutenant Governor Laurie, I'm here uninvited today, you won't blame me, will you?"
Laurie immediately came back to his senses and asked, "Of course not, but then again, I don't know why Tax Commissioner David came to me today?" ”
"For no other reason, just a casual conversation."
Laurie sat down across from David, looking deaf.
"Not long ago, I went to Henderson City, and found that some of the urban construction plans there, as well as the living standards of the local residents, are very good.
"In addition, the reason why the quality of living of the citizens there is so high is also due to the policy you left behind, Lieutenant Governor Laurie, you know, everyone says that you are a very capable leader."
