American tax officials

Chapter 55 Layout

Mary had just left not long ago.

Nissen then returned with a document and said, "We've screened them out; there are 181 households suspected!"

"181 households?"

David was somewhat surprised; it was less than he had expected.

"Yes, it's quite a coincidence. A few days ago, a team conducted a detailed investigation of this residential area because of a case, and we also benefited a little from it."

David nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "Here's what we'll do: go find the person in charge of this residential area and tell them to have these 181 households come to the square below for a routine inspection at 6:00 AM tomorrow!"

"Wouldn't this... alert the enemy?"

According to Nissen, if the hacker was indeed hiding in the residential area, their actions would definitely alert him.

That guy might run away overnight, which would be a bit troublesome.

"So, you'll have to work hard tonight. By the way, I don't think you can handle this alone. How about we ask Bucky and the others for help?"

Nissen understood David's meaning and nodded, saying, "Alright, I'll bring some men to guard this residential area tonight. If this guy dares to run away, it might actually save us some trouble!"

At this point, he seemed to remember something and hurriedly asked, "By the way, haven't our taxes been deposited into the treasury yet?"

"Mary took the tax money away a dozen minutes ago."

"Then our data should be updated!"

Nissen eagerly pulled out his phone, accessed the IRS intranet, quickly found their names, and exclaimed with elation, "Haha, we've moved up to 203rd!"

Previously, because they had no tax revenue recorded for two days, their ranking dropped to 501st.

But now that the 700,000+ yuan in taxes has been deposited, it has immediately climbed to 203rd place, and is now only more than 100 places away from the top 100 list.

The thought of making it into the top 100 again among 140,000 inspectors nationwide fills him with excitement.

"Alright, let's finish this case first!"

The thought of Lynch's more than 160 million in taxes kept haunting David's mind. He now only wanted to resolve this case as soon as possible and focus on the pursuit of this huge sum of money.

The two earned over $70 this time, which propelled them to 203rd place in the rankings, and this was quickly learned by the inspectors in the lake district.

While they were amazed, they were also greatly inspired.

All the inspectors became incredibly enthusiastic, launching a frenzied manhunt for the criminals in the lake area.

……

National Taxation Bureau, Dajie District Branch.

In Keanu's office, Brunan burst in again, his expression grave. "David from the Lake District has made another $70. They're now ranked 203rd nationally!"

"What?!"

Keanu looked utterly astonished, clearly taken aback by the news.

A full minute passed before he recovered and asked with a stern face, "In that case, their total tax revenue for the lake district would be over 180 million!"

"Yes……"

"This can't go on!"

A few days ago, the total tax revenue of their main district and the lake district differed by only 2, but now the total tax revenue of their main district is only over 130 million, while that of the lake district has already reached over 180 million.

In other words, they were more than 50 yuan behind the total tax revenue of the lake area.

There are still 9 days left until the assessment period. If things continue like this, the gap might widen from 50 to 2 or 300 million.

That would be a huge loss of face for their entire neighborhood!

Brunan knew, of course, that this couldn't go on, but what could he do when the inspectors in his bureau weren't very effective?

After a moment's thought, Keanu said, "The problem still lies with David. You spoke with him once before; do you think there's still room for negotiation?"

"By the way, there's something I need to tell you."

"According to my understanding, the tax chief Lewis from the Lake District will soon be transferred to Detroit."

"According to the Lake District leadership, they intend for David to take over the position, so I think that's why he declined our district's invitation!"

"We want him, we'll poach him, unless we can offer the same terms!"

Upon hearing Brunan's words, Keanu instantly understood, but his expression became even more serious.

The Lake District branch was able to promote David because Lewis happened to be transferred, and David did indeed make a huge contribution to the Lake District branch's tax performance.

David hadn't contributed anything to their Main Street Precinct, and their tax chief position was already full, so how could they possibly give it to him?

"Beep beep beep..."

Just as Keanu was racking his brains, the phone on the table rang. He glanced at the caller ID and his expression turned even more grim.

"You can go out now!"

After Brunan left, Keanu answered the phone tremblingly: "Chief..."

Ten minutes later.

After being scolded, Keanu, filled with anger, went to the inspectors' office on the third floor and began to transfer the director's criticisms of him onto the inspectors.

After being lashed out at, the inspectors transferred their resentment to David.

The reason is also very simple.

It's unbearable that your group, David, is so outstanding, making us all look like trash!

Despite the criticism, the tax inspectors in the main district still had a sense of honor. They were unwilling to accept that their tax performance, as a prestigious district, could be inferior to that of David alone.

Almost the entire force was mobilized immediately, and a sweep of all criminals in the main area began.

……

Night, a bright moon hangs high in the sky.

Outside the Constance residential area, Nissen and six others were inside a spacious surveillance vehicle.

"Buckey, your team will be stationed at the East Gate tonight. Good luck."

"Shevic, your group is holding the north gate, good luck."

"Meryl, the west flank is yours."

"Everyone, stay alert! Don't let that bastard get away!"

Nissen gave instructions to each group individually.

Upon hearing this, no one expressed any dissatisfaction, and they all got off the bus as instructed.

In fact, according to rank, Nissen had no authority to command them.

However, Lewis had already instructed them to be at the beck and call of David's group at any time, so they certainly couldn't refuse.

Moreover, if David can lead their Lake District branch to first place in the city again, they will receive a large sum of government funds.

Therefore, both morally and logically, they have a responsibility to work together to complete this case.

While Nissen is getting ready.

Inside the residential area, on the third floor of building 5, at the door of room 501.

A staff member at the residential complex rang the doorbell. About a minute later, a somewhat thin man wearing glasses opened the door and asked, "What can I do for you?"
