At this time, Locke's face was also silent, but soon he seemed to remember something, looked around and asked, "Who fired the gun just now?" ”

"It seems to be...... Hobson. ”

"Hobson? Where is he? ”

The crowd looked around, and realized that the so-called Hobson had not returned with him.

"According to people familiar with the matter, the IRS arrested a murderer on the spot, and please pay attention to the next report brought by this station for the progress of the case......

Just when everyone didn't know why, the sound of the broadcast on the TV made the atmosphere of the scene freeze directly.

The IRS arrested a murderer on the spot?

In other words, their companion, known as Hobson, must have fallen into the hands of the IRS.

"I'm sorry Locke, it's a big deal, I think I'm going to get out of the limelight first."

"I'm Locke too, sorry......"

“……”

The IRS inspectors were shot and killed, and although they did not shoot the guns, they were still the people at the scene, and it is difficult to guarantee that the IRS will not take this account to them in retaliation.

Therefore, these men and women outside the Sackler family naturally did not dare to stay here any longer, and got up and left one after another.

Soon, it was not only the iron-faced Locke who was left on the scene, but after a long silence, he finally stood up, came to the fifth floor of the villa, and knocked on a door.

Dozens of seconds later, a man in his fifties opened the door, pulled his face and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Locke lowered his head and said, "Father, something has happened......"

About 20 minutes later, another villa in the same area, 500 meters away from this villa, welcomed many people and vehicles.

When these men arrived, they immediately went to the meeting room, where Locke and his father were already waiting.

"Theresa, what is it about this big night that is calling us all over?"

"Yes, Theresa, didn't you say there was an emergency, what the hell is it?"

These were all members of the Sackler family, and they were somewhat complained about being urgently called over so late.

"Wait a minute, Uncle Arthur."

Theresa, Locke's father, said in a deep voice.

About five minutes later, two footsteps were heard upstairs, and I saw a gray-haired old man walking slowly down with the help of a maid.

When he came to the parlor and sat down, Teresa spoke, "I'm sorry Uncle Arthur, it's too urgent to disturb your old man so late. ”

"Alright, let's just say anything."

As the head of the Shackler family, Arthur has seen countless big scenes over the years, and even now when he hears the urgency of the situation, there is no trace of fluctuation on the face of the old Long Zhong.

"Just now, there was a shooting at the Met Bar......"

At first, the crowd at the scene was still a little foggy, and even wanted to curse a little.

After all, not to mention the whole of America, there are countless shootings every day here in Los Angeles alone, so what is there to urgently discuss now?

But then when they heard that it was the young son of their Zackler family who shot and that the deceased was an inspector of the Internal Revenue Service, many people began to sit still.

One of the balding middle-aged men confirmed in disbelief: "Theresa, you said that my son killed an IRS inspector?" Really? ”

Theresa looked at her son, and Locke said in a trembling voice, "Yes Uncle Mariano, it was indeed Hobson who fired the gun, and he was caught red-handed by the IRS." ”

"What do you say, how can he be caught, what the hell is going on with you people!"

The bald middle-aged man's emotions suddenly got out of control, and if he wanted to say that his son was not caught, then with their Sackler family's network, they could try to operate and find a scapegoat or something.

But now that the stolen goods have been obtained, and the matter is still so big, with the style of the IRS that the IRS will report it, if they are not destroyed, they will be all over the place, and they still want to operate?

"This is not the most serious, according to the news from all sides, the reason why the IRS people found Rock and Hobson this time is mainly because of David's order, so I definitely have reason to think that this David wants to investigate our tax situation, which is the most serious!"

"What, David's executioner's order?"

"Davy wants to investigate our taxes?"

"Wardfa, how can this be ......"

Many members of the Shackler family were already upset when they heard that their family had killed the IRS.

And now that it is heard that it is actually involved in David, the current No. 1 executioner of the IRS, everyone can't sit still at all, panicked and chaotic.

"Smack!"

"Be quiet!"

Just when the atmosphere of the scene was chaotic, a scolding sound sounded to stop everyone, and when they looked back, Arthur's withered palm had been placed on the table, and the scolding just now was also made by him.

"Theresa, are you sure it has something to do with David?"

In the face of Arthur's questioning, Theresa didn't talk nonsense, she directly took out her mobile phone, opened a photo and put it in front of him, and explained: "The IRS inspector was just sent to the University of Southern California Hospital for rescue, and this is a photo taken by the media at the scene of David's visit." ”

Arthur fixed his eyes, and sure enough, it was a picture of David appearing at the University of Southern California Hospital.

Logically speaking, if an ordinary inspector has an accident, he will not need to alarm David, the city director, to rush over non-stop, and only if the inspector who received his order to investigate has an accident, will he, the city director, rush over to reassure people.

Then you can confirm that this matter was really instructed by David!

Could it really be that Davy really had plans to investigate their Shacklers, as Teresa said?

If this is the case, then this time the matter may be serious, and it may even bring disaster to their family.

First of all, since David already had plans to investigate their family, their family was already in trouble.

What's more, now that the children of their family have also killed one of David's inspectors, this family has even more reason to clean up their family.

"Call Gregory, get his team over immediately, Mariano, you go see Hobson, stare at him and tell him not to talk nonsense, and you guys, check your accounts for me, and wipe my ass clean if I have any questions......"

Under Arthur's command, the members of the Shackler family also left quickly.

"Bring me the phone!"

After the phone was brought by the servant, Arthur immediately dialed a number: "Sorry to disturb Mr. Soloss so late, there is something wrong with my side, I may need some help......"

This time the matter was so serious, he knew that neither David nor the IRS would be able to give up.

Since the scandal was exposed, the overall strength of the Sackler family has been greatly damaged, and it is absolutely impossible to stand up to the powerful agency of the Internal Revenue Bureau.

Therefore, only by relying on the help of the powerful group of the Yutai people can it be possible to escape from this incident.

……

University of Southern California Hospital.

"Director, the boy's father has come to see him."

David, who was still discussing Higgins' future, stopped talking and replied, "Where is he?" ”

"Follow me."

Following in the footsteps of the inspector, David came to a separate room on the fifth floor.

Hobson was shot in the leg and was not life-threatening, and after the bullet was taken out and bandaged, the person was still awake at this time.

However, when he saw David walking in, the hairs on his body suddenly stood on end, and in order to prove that he was not dazzled, he even rubbed his eyes, but when the familiar face appeared, his heart was suddenly enveloped by a sense of fear.

"Dai ...... Director David ......"

He already knew that he had killed an IRS inspector by mistake, but even so, there was no need to alarm David to come over in person in the first place, right?

But in any case, now that David is here in person, there is no doubt that the seriousness of this matter has risen to a new level.

At the thought of David's ruthless wrist of sending people to court at every turn, and then sentencing him to a thousand years in prison, Hobson at this time even forgot about the pain, leaving only a trembling body.

[Name: Hobson Shackler.] 】

[Occupation: unemployed. 】

[Revenue: $1.8 million.] 】

[Income details: On January 11, he sold a batch of OxyContin to a member of the Stick Nation Gang in Santa Monica for a profit of $30, and on February 1, he sold a batch of OxyCondin to a businessman in the Long Beach area for a profit of $500,000......]

[More details: ......]

[Tax payable: $712,800.] 】

Although AshCont has been exposed to rare large amounts of heroin, it is very good if it is used alone to relieve pain.

Therefore, although this drug is regulated by the Food and Drug Administration as a prescription drug, and can only be prescribed to patients with cancer or dying, it has not been directly ordered to stop production.

And as a member of the Sackler family, it is normal for you to make some medicine in your family business and sell it to those gang members or addicts to earn some pocket money.

However, this is a good thing for David, because it makes it easy for him to grasp a handle on the family, which saves a lot of work for the next investigation.

"Director David, I'm sorry that something like this happened......"

Just as David was falling into his thoughts, a voice came from his ear and he looked sideways, only to see two other men standing in the room.

After some scrutiny, he quickly understood the identities of the two men, one was Hobson's father, Mariano, and the other was a lawyer he had brought in.

"Oh yes, Director David, introduce myself, my name is Mariano Shackler, and this is my son......"

Mariano introduced himself, sighed and said: "I believe you have also understood, our Shackler family has caused some patients to be very dissatisfied over the years because of the drug OxyContin, so some of the more extreme patients will often attack our family's people, which causes our family's people to have a strong sense of self-protection, and often cause self-defense misunderstandings, but don't worry, Director David, we will definitely make amends......"

The lawyer Mariano brought was smart.

He knew that killing the IRS inspector was an extremely serious matter, so if he wanted to get away with it, he had to defend himself.

And this set of words is also what he taught Mariano to say.

David sneered and replied, "Self-defense misunderstanding? My people haven't even shown their weapons, have they? How can you defend yourself? ”

"Mr. Mariano also said just now that because of some reasons for the drug OxyContin, the people of the Sackler family have always had a great sense of crisis, and the scene at that time, plus the effect of alcohol, are the reasons for the current tragedy, so Director David, you can't blame all the blame on us, you should take into account the environmental factors at that time."

This time it was Mariano's lawyer who came forward to speak.

And his words almost made it clear that since David wanted to investigate the Sackler family, he would go directly to the sober-minded people in this family, instead of going to the young man who was carried away by alcohol and drugs.

In short, the spearhead of his words is that it is not the Sackler family who is mainly responsible, but David himself who misjudged the form of the time and is responsible for the leadership!

"Yes, yes, I was really confused by alcohol at the time, thinking that it was a patient who used OxyContin to find fault, so I subconsciously had a self-defense reaction, I really didn't expect Director David that your IRS people would come to me, and even if you want to come to me, then you can notify me in advance, so that there will be no such misunderstanding."

Hobson also came to his senses and added.

Actually, he did have a reason to say that, after all, who the knew that the IRS would come to him on a big night?

And if you look for him, you will find him, and you will not notice him in advance.

If you make a noise, then I won't dare to shoot indiscriminately!

"Then according to the two of you, if our IRS wants to check taxes in the future, we have to give advance notice to gangsters, drug dealers, or robbers, or hold a press conference to tell them that our IRS is coming to investigate you, and you should 'prepare well'?"

David also looked at the two of them with idiotic eyes.

"This ......"

Hobson was a little speechless for a moment.

However, the lawyer stood up and retorted: "That's not the case with Director David, in short, there are inappropriate things on both sides of this matter, Hobson shouldn't be frightened and shoot so impulsively, and your IRS shouldn't come to the door on that occasion, this is a misunderstanding, since it's a misunderstanding, then let's just sit down and settle it peacefully, there's no need to make a big deal out of it, right?" ”

"You have a reason now, but I don't know if you can still speak like this when you go to court."

As soon as he heard that he was going to court, the lawyer didn't panic, but Mariano panicked, because he knew that as long as this matter went to court, the IRS would be able to convict him of several crimes, so he immediately said: "There's no need for this, so Director David, in addition to compensating the families of the victims, we also intended to reach an agreement with your IRS to exchange a fine for immunity from this matter, how about it?" ”

By now, he was certain that the IRS was indeed investigating their family.

So he plans to face the FBI, the Food and Drug Administration, and civil lawsuits as usual, and he will endure the pain and eliminate the disaster!

"A fine? Good luck Mr. Mariano. ”

David smiled disdainfully, then stopped talking nonsense, turned his head and left.

And looking at the back of David's departure, Mariano's father and son's hearts were already half cold at this time, and David's appearance was probably not to kill them!

There was no way, Mariano could only take out his mobile phone and dial Arthur's number to report it.

……

Back at the city office, David immediately began to sort out the information he had obtained from the Marianu father and son.

About an hour later, he called in Nissenbaki Simmons and assigned them a task.

In this way, the machine of the city bureau began to operate non-stop all night.

The next day, Keppel, who was brought to the city bureau by David, knocked on the door and walked in, and said, "Director, the media is here, you can go down." ”

David nodded and stood up, after a night of fermentation, public opinion was intensifying, and he had to hold a press conference to explain the situation, and announce to everyone what he was going to do next.

In the hall on the first floor, a large number of media cameras were already in place, and when they saw David arrive, the scene suddenly became agitated.

"Good morning, everyone, on behalf of the Los Angeles IRS, I will be answering questions from the media on behalf of the Los Angeles IRS about last night's Metbar shooting, and I will give you some information about this case......

As the words fell, the reporters at the scene raised their hands to ask questions, and David pointed to a reporter from KNBS TV.

Then the reporter also immediately asked: "Director David, it is said that the inspector who was shot died in the line of duty, will you be responsible for this, and will you take the blame and resign?" ”

Hearing that the reporter threw out such a sharp question as soon as he came up, David did not panic, but calmly replied: "Our inspector died in the line of duty, I am naturally responsible for this, as for whether he will resign...... I want to wait until I finish this case, and then leave it to the public to decide whether or not I support me! ”

"Chief David, what kind of case is this, and why did the attacker fight with your IRS, and what is the name of the suspect and where does it come from?"

"This is just an ordinary tax case, as for the suspect...... His name was Hobson Shackler. ”

Hearing the name in front, the media didn't feel anything, but when they heard the surname Sackler in the back, everyone's expressions were suddenly stunned.

And the media of KMBS TV station also immediately asked: "Director David, may I ask this attacker named Hobson...... Is it from House Shackler? ”
