David spread his hands, resigned, "I don't have anything yet, so let's not rush. Take so ti to look into it before we act!"
He had realized that his current rate of solving cases was indeed a bit too astonishing.
Therefore, he decided to slow down a bit and pretend to investigate for a few days first. This way, he could also dispel the suspicions of many.
Nisen nodded and replied, "Alright then..."
...
Three days later, Nisen's Volvo was parked downstairs at David's place. Right after that, he picked up the phone.
It was about seven or eight minutes.
David ca down, and as soon as he had pulled open the car door and sat down, Nisen anxiously handed over his phone, saying, "Take a look at this!"
David took the phone, and what caught his eye were the words "Tax Authority's Achievent List."
Looking down the list, he saw two familiar nas, Kelly Orsey and Brown Soros.
And behind their nas was the tax achievent figure of "2.296 million US dollars!"
"Hmm? What's this about?"
He had already heard about the tax achievent list at the assessnt eting three days ago from Gusin.
But back then, Gusin said that after the list was launched, it would be updated once per assessnt period. But it's not the assessnt period yet!
Nisen imdiately explained, "This list has just been launched on the internal network by the head office. According to their latest explanation, the list won't update once per assessnt period. Instead, from the ti it goes live, as soon as tax achievents are successfully recorded, they will be updated in real-ti on this list!"
David was sowhat surprised, then replied, "So, you're saying Kelly Orsey and Brown Soros's tax achievents listed here were received in these three days?"
"Exactly!"
David now understood, but to receive over two million in tax achievents in just three days was a bit monstrous for this duo from the Manhattan, New York Branch.
If you calculated the average amount, 2.29 million in 3 days would be 4.58 million in 6 days, and 9.16 million in 12 days...
After one assessnt period, wouldn't that amount to over ten million!
What kind of beasts were these!
Continuing down the list, the second place still featured familiar nas, Trollope Alger and Bellamy Hardy.
This was the audit team from the Los Angeles Long Beach Branch. In the previous assessnt period, they earned a high tax achievent of 4.36 million, ranking second nationwide.
In these three days, they also had over 1.6 million US dollars booked.
Apart from these two teams, there were also thirteen audit teams on the list that had broken the million mark in tax achievents.
This made David question his life a bit. He had a system, but what thods were these people using to achieve such high efficiency?
"David, I think we should take action now!"
Nisen's tone was sowhat urgent.
It would have been fine if this list hadn't gone live, but now that it had, and with the tax achievent data being updated in real-ti, he felt a bit embarrassed.
After all, during the last assessnt period, they had been lauded among the national top hundred!
Yet in these three days, because they were in the process of collecting data, not a penny in tax achievents was recorded, which ant their current tax achievents were still a big fat zero, placing them tens of thousands of ranks below.
This was sothing everyone in the national audit system could see; plumting from the top hundred to tens of thousands below was indeed too humiliating!
David's eyes narrowed, and he wore a contemplative expression.
He had planned to slack off for another day or two before starting work.
But now that the list had co out, it also stirred his competitive spirit.
Though limited by regional factors, he couldn't compare with those audit teams from Manhattan and Los Angeles, it wasn't as though just anyone could ride roughshod over him!
He had to maintain a firm hold on the top hundred ranking!
That was helpful both for the impressions of the higher-ups at the head office and for the leaders of his own branch!
Gathering his thoughts, David asked, "What have you found out?"
Nisen looked slightly embarrassed and replied, "I've only found out that this gang often hangs out in Horseshoe Bay, Bellagio, and Caesar Resort."
"Also this"
Nisen pulled out a small card from the inside of his suit.
David took it and saw that it was similar to the little cards often slipped under hotel doors in the middle of the night back in his previous life in China.
It had a contact number on it and a fiery-sexy woman illustration.
"Not bad!"
David smiled and changed the subject, "Let's go, to Caesar Resort!"
...
Caesar Resort, situated at the border between the Lake District and Clark County.
The resort's architecture was unique, predominantly white and light gray, with a European style that was low and exquisite, complenting the surrounding environnt.
It also boasted the city's largest artificial lake, making it a location by the mountains and water.
Additionally, there were golf courses, spa centers, gyms, and various other facilities to provide the ultimate luxury experience for vacationing tourists.
In the parking lot, Nisen felt like a pig in the midst of a cabbage patch as he parked his Volvo amidst a collection of luxury cars.
But David didn't seem to be thinking about that at all and walked straight into the lobby.
"Good day, sir, how may I assist you?"
The front desk at this five-star hotel wasn't just pretty with a sweet voice, her smile was imnsely welcoming.
It made one feel an urge to shout, "Give the most expensive room you have!"
And indeed, that's exactly what David wanted to do as he pulled out his card and said, "Give the Presidential Suite!"
These words stunned Nisen standing by his side.
We agreed to co here to work on a case, and now you're opening a Presidential Suite?
Wait a minute...
As far as he knew, the Presidential Suite here cost upwards of ten thousand US dollars a night!
Although David had received a sizable bonus for his outstanding tax performance during the evaluation period, money shouldn't be thrown around like this!
"Certainly, sir!"
In such a hotel, the receptionist seed desensitized to the wealthy, and she took the card without further question.
In the anti, Nisen hurriedly asked in a low voice, "David, what are you doing?"
"I'm working on a case!"
"Working on a case?"
"Didn't you say that the Scam Gang often operates out of this hotel? So, let's do a 'sting operation'!"
Nisen was taken aback again.
A sting operation... it didn't seem like a bad idea.
But the prerequisite was to have solid evidence of their tax evasion!
Otherwise, even if they were caught this ti, they could make a fuss and be difficult to handle afterward.
"Wait a minute, David..."
Nisen gathered his thoughts and asked, "Even if we are to perform a sting operation, spending over ten thousand to open a Presidential Suite... isn't that a bit too extravagant?"
David shot him a disdainful look and said, "Extravagant? What do you think our official funds are for?"
