Lewis abruptly changed the subject, "By the way, have the tax revenues been tallied today?"
"They have, totaling one hundred and thirty-nine thousand and ten."
The joy in Lewis's brows deepened, and after a pause, he nodded and said, "Alright, I'll take the initiative and carve out eighteen thousand from it, to be equally distributed among the six people in Bucky's team, is that okay?"
"Of course, it's fine!"
David was well aware that although everyone was part of the sa team, not everything was done on a voluntary basis.
For today's case, people had set aside a large amount of work and spent a lot of ti, so it was only fair to offer them so sort of compensation.
As he was still deep in thought, the six mbers of Bucky's team on the side were over the moon with joy.
The reason they had cooperated so diligently with David's work was, of course, in the hopes of sharing in so of the tax performance after the fact.
Eighteen thousand US dollars.
If divided among the six people, that would an three thousand US dollars in tax performance per person.
Considering their current efficiency, this amount would usually take them several days of work, but now they had earned it in one afternoon, which was a complete win.
...
In the ti that followed, Lewis continued praising David without stinginess, of course, also wanting to use him as an example to motivate the other team mbers.
However, there was one thing that Bucky and the others couldn't stop thinking about.
They had assud that with the Zero Purchase case being so sensational, Lewis would definitely ask David in detail about how exactly the case was completed.
But unexpectedly, Lewis didn't ntion any of the specifics, which left several of them wanting to speak up but hesitating to do so.
"Alright, you've successfully completed the Zero Purchase case, I hope you continue to strive hard!"
Lewis opened a cabinet below and pulled out an envelope, pushing it toward David, saying, "This is your new case, go ahead and acquaint yourself with it!"
Without saying much more, David grabbed the envelope and, along with the others, promptly left the office.
Once back at his workstation, he imdiately tore open the envelope and pulled out a large stack of docunts.
"Hmm? Asian faces?"
Looking at the Asian faces in the docunts, Nisen, observing from the side, appeared rather surprised.
However, David didn't get distracted and continued to review the docunts.
About twenty minutes later, he finally understood what this case was about.
These individuals, to be precise, were people from the Island Nation.
They were also a gang, mainly involved in car theft, and they especially targeted luxury cars. Their cris were mostly concentrated in the Lake District, which was under their jurisdiction, which is why the Lake District Sub-Bureau's inspection system had zeroed in on them.
"This gang of car thieves won't be easy to find..."
Having read the docunts, Nisen, with his chin propped in his hand, fell into contemplation.
These people were difficult to locate because, unlike the previous group of Zero Purchase Participants, whose information and addresses had already been identified by the taxation bureau's system.
This ti, however, the car thieves on the docunts had very little specific information available; there were just nas, and many had only a photograph.
Las Vegas had a population of over six hundred thousand, with the Lake District alone accounting for more than two hundred thousand. Finding a group of car thieves among so many was challenging, not exactly looking for a needle in a haystack, but certainly quite difficult.
"What about you, do you have any leads?"
Seeing that David did not echo his sentint, Nisen quickly turned to look at him and noticed David appeared to be in thought, which prompted him to ask.
David took one of the docunts and pointed, saying, "Look, according to the police reports, there have been dozens of car thefts in the Lake District this past month, but if you look closely at the identities of these reporting individuals..."
Following the direction of David's finger, Nisen soon noticed the nas of the reporters, and when he saw the word 'tourist' in parentheses next to them, his eyes lit up.
"You an to say, this gang of car thieves doesn't just target anyone, they specifically go after tourists?"
"According to the information, this gang of car thieves has been active in Las Vegas for several years, a group of people from the Island Nation, surviving here for so long naturally has so survival tactics."
Las Vegas, a lange of diverse characters and complex forces, has people with considerable clout.
If this group of Island Nation people dared to provoke so of the local powers, they probably would have been long gone nurous tis over, not to ntion making a living here for so many years.
Their tactic for survival, naturally, was to only target tourists.
These people co from all over the world and can't stay here for many days. Even if they suffer so losses, at most they would just chalk it up to bad luck and wouldn't take any drastic actions.
In other words, they are relatively easy to bully!
Nisen nodded, understanding the implication of David's words and then asked, "If they only target tourists, that narrows down the scope considerably!"
David picked up the phone on his desk and dialed a number, "Jonathan, I need the latest check-in lists of tourists from Grande Castle, Horseshoe Bay, Aria, these hotels, but mind you, include those with car rental or purchase deals!"
About an hour later.
The bureau's intelligence staff delivered the required docunts to David, who carefully reviewed them. Just for today, there were up to fifty tourists involved in car rentals or luxury car services.
Although there were many people, it was a significant narrowing of scope compared to searching for a needle in a haystack.
"Interested in checking it out tonight?"
"I have no problem with that!"
Despite the main credit for solving the two big cases falling on David, as a partner, Nisen too had gained a great deal of recognition, so he was quite motivated now.
...
As night fell, the entirety of Las Vegas seed to light up; the luxuriant neon lights and dazzling billboards shone through the darkness, illuminating every corner.
Various casinos, hotels, and entertainnt venues along the streets flickered continuously with lights.
In the heart of the Lake District, the streets were bustling, luxury sedans, sports cars, and sightseeing buses moved back and forth between locations, while fireworks burst in the sky from ti to ti, adding brilliance to the city that never sleeps.
At this mont, in the parking lot of Grande Castle Hotel, a Volvo was parked in one spot. Inside the car was Nisen who, while eating a hamburger, watched the surroundings warily and occasionally lifted his wrist to check the ti.
A few minutes later.
The right side car door suddenly opened, giving him a start. However, upon seeing the person was David, he complained slightly, "You scared , weren't we agreed on eight o'clock? Why did you co so late?"
