American tax officials

Chapter 50 Catching a Thief at Ward Mansion

Making up for tax shortfalls could harm the interests of many auditors.

But as long as David is willing to come to their neighborhood, it's all worth it!

David was slightly surprised to hear that the taxes needed to be paid, but he quickly regained his composure and declined, saying, "I'm sorry, Inspector Brunan, but I'm not planning to leave the Lake District at the moment. Let's talk about it another time!"

Moving to a larger district offers greater opportunities for development, but at this stage, nothing is as important as the position of tax chief!

Brunan was stunned. He hadn't expected that even after offering such terms, David still wouldn't be tempted in the slightest.

But he was still persistent, continuing to persuade, "Inspector David, you need to think this through. The development potential of our Greater District is unmatched by the Lake District right now. With our Greater District as a springboard, it's not impossible for you to quickly rise to tax chief, deputy tax inspector, or even tax inspector!"

"I understand, Deputy Inspector Brunan. Let's talk about it later!"

Brunan stared intently at David's expressionless face, finally letting out a helpless sigh, and said, "Alright, think it over carefully. Call me anytime if you have any ideas!"

Although he was two ranks higher than David, he couldn't force someone to come if they didn't want to!

After ending the conversation and leaving the coffee shop, Brunan immediately made a phone call: "Keanu, things are getting a bit tricky..."

National Taxation Bureau, Dajie District Branch.

After hanging up the phone, Keanu's expression was somewhat uncertain.

You should know that their district is the heart of Las Vegas; inspectors from other districts don't even have the opportunity to be transferred here.

But David actually refused!

And this was on the condition that they made up for the tax deficit of over 40!

Damn it...

Keanu cursed inwardly, then picked up the phone and called each of the tax chiefs in the bureau to call an emergency meeting.

David is too much of a threat.

If things continue like this, once this new round of assessments ends, the Dajie District Branch will probably embarrass itself again.

Therefore, he needs to give these tax officials a good push and make them work as hard as they can to collect taxes.

At that time, even if we can't surpass the Lake District Branch, we can't fall too far behind!

……

Two days later, in the underground parking lot of Ward Building.

"Are you confident you can catch those guys?"

During the two-day waiting period, the two of them again received zero-tax income.

Therefore, his ranking on the tax results list dropped from 411 to 501, which filled Nissen with anxiety.

"Don't worry, once they arrive today, I guarantee they won't be able to escape!"

David replied confidently, then opened the door, got out of the car, and walked towards the elevator.

The two took the elevator together and went directly to the 56th floor.

Now you can see that the exhibition hall is on the right.

A security gate was set up at the entrance of the exhibition hall, where many visitors were being checked by security personnel before leaping in.

"Hello sir, do you have an invitation?"

The security personnel politely inquired about the two people who came up.

David and Nissen each took out the prepared invitations from their pockets, and after confirming that there were no problems, they were put inside.

As soon as they stepped into the exhibition hall, the two couldn't help but look around.

The exhibition hall was clearly meticulously designed, with paintings and colorful tapestries hanging on the walls, complementing the exhibition's theme and creating an elegant and dignified atmosphere.

The carefully selected lighting equipment not only highlighted the exhibits but also added a comfortable atmosphere to the entire exhibition hall.

The glass display cases in the exhibition hall showcase various ceramics, calligraphy and paintings, bronzes, jade, gold and silver items.

Each exhibit appears to have been meticulously maintained and preserved, keeping it in its most dazzling condition.

In addition, the labels on the exhibits provide detailed information about their origins and historical background, allowing visitors to gain a deeper understanding of the value of these treasures.

"The Scepter of Ramses III, is this fucking real or fake?"

Nissen was drawn to a scepter in the display case in front of him, and exclaimed in surprise after seeing the label on it.

As far as he knew, Ramses III was a famous pharaoh of Egypt. What kind of wealthy person could own such a collection?

Unlike Nissen, David had no time to concern himself with the collection; instead, he used his sharp eyes to scrutinize the suspicious individuals present.

There were quite a few people here to see the exhibits today, roughly a hundred or so. David looked around for a long time but didn't find anything.

Half an hour later, a Latina woman came into his view, which startled him.

"So it was you..."

David's lips curled into a smile as he stared intently at the Latina woman named Camilla.

But he soon noticed that although the woman was walking around the various display cases, she was always muttering to herself when she was alone.

Based on the information provided by the cheat code.

This woman did not act alone, but had four accomplices. She is currently wearing some kind of miniature earpiece and communicating with her accomplices!

David stopped monitoring her and began searching for her accomplices.

This time it went relatively smoothly; it only took him about five minutes to select another thief who had switched the goods.
