One could imagine,
with so many inspectors receiving promotions, what an encouragent it was to inspectors nationwide, and the competition that would surely intensify...
"Knock, knock, knock..."
Just as David was deep in thought, soone knocked on the door.
"Co in!"
The door opened and Nisen, leading a team of seven, walked in one after the other.
Bucky was the first to hand over a report and said, "Following your instructions, Director, I've checked, and the 'xico Gang' is supplying Dieter's establishnts with forbidden goods."
David nodded, picking up the report and reading it carefully.
Soon, he had grasped the frawork of the xico Gang.
The xico Gang, as the na suggested, were drug dealers from xico; most of them had arrived here by smuggling themselves into the country.
Since many of them lacked legal status, they acted without restraint, using brutal thods to monopolize the Las Vegas trade in illicit goods.
The boss of the xico Gang was known as Zimrman Hel, a notorious figure in Las Vegas' drug circles, yet few people had seen him or knew his whereabouts.
David looked at Bucky, "As for this Zimrman, you haven't found out any information about him either?"
Bucky shook his head and responded, "The guy hasn't made an appearance for a year, but I've heard they're planning a big deal with Dieter soon, so maybe he'll show up—it's uncertain..."
"Soon? When exactly?"
"I'm not too clear on that yet, but I have an informant who has the information, although his demands are quite steep..."
David pondered for a mont, then turned to Simmons from the third team and asked, "What about you, any progress?"
Simmons placed the organized report on the desk and explained, "I've checked, Director. Dieter has been maintaining about 80 enforcers and bouncers, among them the 'Four Kings,' who manage these establishnts for him..."
After listening to Simmons's presentation, David picked up the report and studied it carefully.
According to the information gathered,
these enforcers were not just muscle; from a certain perspective, they were more like sales representatives.
Of course, what they sold were forbidden goods.
They could distribute and sell the illicit goods that Dieter acquired through various channels to clients and then receive a certain commission.
As the data showed, by selling these forbidden goods, each person earned an average monthly inco of over 9,000 US dollars.
If they could collect taxes on these earnings, it would be at least several hundred thousand dollars!
Of course, this was just the tip of the iceberg regarding Dieter's financial assets, hardly worth ntioning.
David then looked at Nisen, "What about you, any findings?"
Nisen looked uncomfortable but still mustered the courage to say, "I've only found out that a person nad Sapir is managing the funds for him. As for how his funds are being laundered and where they are kept, I have no leads yet!"
Compared to the other teams, Nisen had indeed found little.
But David did not bla him, as Nisen's team was currently just him alone, so it was normal that the efficiency was lacking.
"Bucky, then—"
"Knock, knock, knock..."
Just as David was about to say sothing else, soone knocked on the door again, so he decided to leave it be and answered, "Co in!"
As he spoke, gan was the first to walk in.
Following behind her was a young woman.
She wore her hair in a ponytail, had delicate features, and her face was well-proportioned and symtrical. She was dressed in a white blouse, the perfect curves of her body stretching the buttons tightly,
"Everyone's here, great. I'd like to introduce your new mber."
gan pointed at the woman behind her and said, "This is Selina Kennedy!"
Upon hearing the na Kennedy, Nisen, Bucky, and the others were instantly stunned.
David, on the other hand, was okay as he had known about this news yesterday. He sized up Selina and then walked over to introduce himself, extending a hand, "Selina, I'm David. Welco to our team!"
"Hello, Director David. I look forward to your guidance!"
After shaking hands, Selina's beautiful eyes lingered on David, sizing him up discreetly.
At that mont, Bucky finally reacted and stepped forward, extending his hand, he introduced himself, "Hello Selina, I am Bucky."
"I'm Simmons..."
"I am..."
The others, after a brief mont of being stunned, ca forward to greet her one by one.
Soon, only Nisen remained.
At that ti, his feelings were complicated. He was not blind; he could see that gan had a faint respect for this Selina.
How could gan, the distinguished deputy inspector of the Lake District Sub-Bureau Branch, show such respect to a new inspector?
Unless this inspector ca with an impressive background!
Or, as her na suggested, she was from the Kennedy Family!
But no matter whether she was from the Kennedy Family or not, she definitely wouldn't satisfy Nisen.
He had emphasized many tis to David that he wanted a partner with outstanding abilities, not a burden!
Now this Selina, did she seem like a capable partner?
Perhaps she was just here for a lark, and if things didn't go well, she could just leave without a backward glance. Then he would be truly unlucky!
"Ahem..."
Seeing Nisen still in a daze, David coughed as a reminder, then personally introduced, "By the way Selina, this is Nisen, and he will be your partner in the sa team!"
"Hello Inspector Nisen, I look forward to your guidance in the future!"
Looking at Selina's extended hand, Nisen, though reluctant in his heart, had no choice but to extend his own and said with feigned enthusiasm, "Hello Selina, I'm glad to have you as my partner!"
"Now that you've t, that's good. Selina, you can co to Director David or anyti if there's anything you need. I'll go tend to so official business now!"
"Understood, Deputy Chief gan!"
After gan left, David looked towards Ariel, the only female inspector in his team, and instructed, "Ariel, take Selina to the Inspector's Office and familiarize her with our workflow."
"Yes Chief!"
The two of them left the office one after the other.
At that point, Bucky, driven by curiosity, asked, "Chief, is Selina really from the Kennedy Family?"
David replied expressionlessly, "If she weren't, do you think Deputy Chief gan would be so polite to her?"
The others had already guessed as much, but David's answer confird it.
Nevertheless, they were still puzzled.
The Kennedy Family, with its vast estate and business, wielded significant influence in both politics and business in Arica.
Why would she co to their Lake District to be an insignificant inspector?
"Shit, why would sobody from the Kennedy Family co to our Lake District Sub-Bureau?"
Nisen's discontent interrupted everyone's thoughts.
However, they could understand his feelings.
Selina didn't seem like soone who was here to seriously work as an inspector. Who would want to partner with such a high-maintenance lady?
At that mont, Bucky and the others felt relieved, thankful that they were not the ones lacking a partner. Otherwise, they would be the unlucky ones.
David went over to Nisen, patted his shoulder, and consoled him, "She was forced upon us by Deputy Chief gan, I had no choice. But don't worry, I won't let you be at a disadvantage. I will try to compensate you!"
Although the matter was settled, Nisen felt sowhat better after David's words.
David then turned to Bucky, "Bring that informant of yours to et with !"
It wasn't that he didn't trust Bucky's intel.
But just to be doubly sure, he felt it was best to have the person brought over and scrutinized through his "golden touch."
"Understood!"
An hour later, a fat man with a stubbly face was brought by Bucky into the office.
