american tax collector

Without waiting for the media reporters present to say too much, Nahum took Kanggua away from the scene.

Since the person arrested this time was the acting New York City Police Commissioner, and he was taken away during a live press conference, the news quickly shocked the entire New York and became news that shocked the entire city.

Manhattan Precinct.

A large number of media reporters who followed behind have already arrived here and are reporting in real time.

Along with this came the citizens who expressed their support for Kanggua.

"Let them go, let them go!"

"Director Kanggua is the nemesis of crime in New York. You IRS cannot arrest him. Release him now!"

"Director Kanggua has made significant achievements in combating criminals since he took office, but your IRS chose to arrest him at this time. Are you colluding with those criminals?"

In addition to shouting, many citizens even brought banners and held up plaques to appeal for justice for Kanggua.

One can imagine how deeply his previous speech had penetrated into the hearts of the people, which is why these citizens were not afraid to come to the door of the IRS to protest like this.

In the bureau, Nahum was also under great pressure in the face of this situation. He immediately came to David and asked cautiously: "Inspector General David, is our action this time a bit, a bit rash? You know, now Kanggua is very popular among New York citizens because of its anti-crime operations..."

Although he seemed full of confidence at the press conference just now, he actually received David's order to take the person away. He didn't know much about other things yet, so when he returned to his branch and saw so many people protesting, he felt very unsure.

"Don't worry, Director Nahum. I asked you to do this for a reason. The thing is..."

David explained one by one that Kanggua's so-called anti-crime activities were actually aimed at deterring these criminals and making them vote for Stevenson.

After hearing the whole story, Nahum, who was still worried, instantly relaxed and asked, "In that case, you should have prepared the relevant criminal information, right?"

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't let you do this!"

Nahum nodded, then seemed to remember something and said, "Now many citizens outside who don't know the truth have been deceived by this Kanggua. I think it's up to you, Inspector General David, to step in. Otherwise, it will be difficult to quell the public grievances."

"I will take care of this matter later. Now let me go see Kanggua and talk to him first."

……

"Hmph, don't think that you, the IRS, can bully others just because you have so much power. Let me tell you, can a city be without the IRS or without our police?"

In an interrogation room of the Manhattan police station, Kanggua was brought back with an imposing appearance.

Opposite him, two IRS interrogators were also quite angry after hearing this, but they couldn't say anything to respond for a while.

Although their IRS is powerful, the importance of the police in a city is indeed irreplaceable.

If there were no police on the streets, in this country where everyone has a gun, I'm afraid there would really be rivers of blood.

"Of course a city cannot be without police officers, but it can be without you, the chief!"

Just as the atmosphere in the interrogation room was becoming stagnant, a voice was heard, and then the door was pushed open and David walked in.

"you you you……"

Kanggua originally wanted to see who was so arrogant, but when he saw the strange yet familiar face that came in, he was so scared that he stood up from his chair and subconsciously took a few steps back with a look of fear on his face.

"Leave this to me."

"It's Inspector General David."

When they saw that it was David who came, the two interrogators who had been held back before breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around, pushed the door and left.

"How about it, Director Kanggua? Don't you know me? Or do you need me to introduce myself? Well, I'll introduce myself. My name is David. I currently work for the Internal Revenue Service. My position is the National Tax Inspector General. Do you know me now?"

Kanggua's expression changed for a while, then he sat back in his seat, pretending to be calm and forcing out a smile, and said, "You must be joking, Inspector General David. Who in the whole of America doesn't know you now?"

"Very good. Since you know me, I will cut the crap. I know you are canvassing for votes for the Senate candidate Stevenson. What I want to know is which other officials in New York State support Stevenson or Longman?"

When David decided to take action against Stevenson, he thought about it. As the base camp of Freemasonry, New York State has too many officials from Masonic groups at all levels.

Even if he eliminated candidates Stevenson and Langman, it would still be difficult for him to support his own people to win the two seats in the state.

With the network of relationships that the Freemasons have built up in the state over the years, they are certainly capable of supporting the other two candidates.

If he really wants to win the two Senate seats in the state, he must first destroy the people that the Freemasonry has planted in various government departments.

And this Kanggua is the first one!
Of course, Kanggua is also a breakthrough point. With his identity as the acting commissioner of the New York City Police Department, he will definitely implicate many people in the same camp.

That's why David wanted to talk to him first after bringing him back.

"Inspector General David, what do you mean by that? When did I ever campaign for Stevenson? I don't even know him!"

Although Kanggua said this on the surface, his mood was actually at its lowest point at the moment.

He was wondering how the Manhattan police could be so bold as to take him, the city chief, away at a press conference that was watched by the whole city. Now he finally understood that it was David who ordered it!

And now David has directly brought the topic to Stevenson. It seems that the tax investigation on him is just an excuse. The real purpose is the game between the IRS and the Freemason Group behind the scenes!

This is really a fight between gods, and he, a mortal, is suffering.

"You know whether you recognize him or not!"

"I don't know. All I know is that your IRS brought back a police chief without any reason. This matter will not be over until there is an explanation!"

Of course Kanggua couldn't admit it, and he knew that he couldn't continue to show weakness when facing someone like David, so he could only grit his teeth and speak toughly.

"You want to explain, right? Sure!"

"On December 2023, 12, a murder occurred at a construction company in the local university district. The person in charge, Maric, found you and gave you $7 to help suppress the case."

"On December 12, the nightclub on 8th Street needed to make corrections due to violations, so they found you and paid you $46 to help you pass it."

"besides……"

As David listed Kanggua's crimes, his expression gradually changed from pretending to be calm to solemn.

At this time, David folded his hands across his chest, leaned back slightly in his chair, and continued, "Actually, I can still tolerate all these, but after the midterm elections, you accepted 200 million U.S. dollars from Stevenson and helped him launch the Thunderbolt operation to fight crime in order to canvass votes for him. That's why you are sitting here now, do you understand?" After he finished speaking, Kanggua couldn't hold it anymore, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. If you look closely, you can even find that his upper and lower lips are trembling slightly.

"Now, can you tell me?"

David stared at Kanggua, and when he saw that he was still silent, he scolded him: "We already have the evidence I listed that you accepted bribes and evaded taxes. When you were brought here, the people who helped you deal with the stolen money were also controlled. Do you still expect to escape the sanctions of our IRS?"

"I told you, can you let me go?"

Previously he thought that David did not know much about him, but now that he knew that his past had been uncovered, and knowing how ruthless David's methods were, he had no choice but to lower his attitude.

"Are you still qualified to negotiate with me?"

"I... this is what the Freemasonry asked me to do, and I am only responsible for helping them fight criminals. This is really none of my business. Chief Inspector David, please be merciful and let me go... I promise to pay taxes honestly in the future, and I can even pay more fines for you..."

Kanggua was already distracted.

When he thought about the possibility of being disgraced and spending the rest of his life in prison, he almost lost control of his bladder.

"If you want to get out of this unscathed, you have to answer whatever I ask you next. Do you understand?"

"Clearly clear!"

"..."

More than half an hour later, David came out of the interrogation room and met and talked with Nahum before coming to the door.

At this time, a large number of Kanggua's supporters were still holding banners and protesting loudly outside the door, but when they saw David coming out, everyone was stunned.

"This...is this Inspector General David?"

“When did Inspector General David come to New York?”

"Wait... Director Kanggua was taken back to the Manhattan Branch. Could this be related to Inspector General David?"

"..."

Amid the discussion, David stood up and said, "Listen to me, Director Kanggua was indeed brought back for investigation because of tax issues. I issued this order myself, but the matter is still in the investigation and evidence collection stage. I will notify you when the results come out. Now please stop protesting and let our colleagues at the IRS get back to work."

If Nahum or anyone else from the Manhattan police station had said this, the citizens present would have loudly protested.

After all, the anti-crime operations carried out by Kanggua in recent times have indeed won the hearts of the citizens, and the citizens regard him as a crime fighter.

But these words came from David's mouth, and the protesting crowd present looked at each other, and no one dared to protest.

You know, even though Kanggua has been touted as the crime-buster recently, the real crime-buster is actually David.

Before this, David had punished criminals many times, sent corrupt officials who committed tax evasion crimes to prison, and promoted the tax avoidance bill to obtain more benefits for civilians. With so many contributions in sight, how could the citizens dare to protest against David for a conker?

"Forget it, forget it. Since this matter was ordered by Inspector General David, let's go back and wait patiently for the results."

"Yes, yes. Although Director Kanggua looks like a crime fighter, as the saying goes, people's hearts are hidden in their stomachs. No one knows what his other side is like. Let's see what happens next."

"Let's go, let's go..."

Seeing the citizens who were protesting loudly just now dispersed because of David's words, Nahum finally realized David's personal charm. Then he turned to him and said, "It's up to you to take action, Inspector General David."

"Okay, prepare a team and follow me."

Nahum asked quickly, "What are you going to do?"

"Go to City Hall."

Nahum was stunned for a moment, then reminded: "Does the city government also have accomplices of this Kanggua?"

David nodded.

Neham didn't waste any more time and immediately called in an inspection team.

Although the citizens at the entrance of Manhattan dispersed, the media became very excited because of David's appearance.

When they saw that the Manhattan police department had actually sent out an inspection team led by David himself, they also sensed that something big was going to happen.

In order to capture the first-hand traffic, these media reporters also got into their own official cars and followed.

But as they followed along, they discovered something was wrong.

This is clearly heading in the direction of the city government.

Could it be that... David is going to the city government this time?

It’s not enough to arrest a police chief, but they also want to arrest one of the city government officials?
As soon as this idea came out, the countless media reporters who were following were shocked.

That is the highest power center in New York City. The arrest of a city police chief was enough to shock New York.

If they go to the city government to arrest someone, it will probably be big global news considering that New York is the world's financial center!
No, no, it should just be along the way!

That's it!

Countless media reporters forced themselves to find psychological comfort.

However, as time went by, the opposite happened.

Soon, the vehicle that David and his group were waiting for arrived at the gate of the city government. They parked the car across the gate like crabs, as if they were treating this place as their own back garden.

"Oh my god, he really came to the city hall!"

"No way, no way. It's fine if they just arrested a police chief, but who else does he want to target now?"

"No matter who it is, it's big news for us!"

After the media reporters got off the bus, they were shocked and couldn't believe it at first, but they soon came to their senses, set up their cameras, and started reporting in real time. (End of this chapter)
