Chapter 422: New York Purge

"Stop, what are you doing!"

When the guard at the door of the city hall saw that the IRS and others were coming with such bad intentions, he immediately started shouting at them.

A tax officer leading the team in Manhattan also showed his tax badge and said, "I'm from the IRS and would like to ask your Mayor Andre to go back and cooperate with the investigation!"

"This……"

Upon hearing this, the guard was a little at a loss.

David ignored them and walked straight into the hall.

At this time, the Manhattan tax director who received David's signal also shouted in a domineering manner: "We are from the IRS. Where is your Mayor Andre now?"

There were still many people working in the city hall at this time. After hearing this voice, they all turned their heads and looked over.

One of the men, dressed in a black suit and black tie, came over and said in an unhappy tone, "This is the city government. What does your IRS mean by this?"

"We now suspect that your Mayor Andre is suspected of tax evasion, so the purpose of our visit is to ask him to go back and investigate!"

"What did you say? Our mayor is suspected of tax evasion?"

"Don't make up stories here. Our city hall has a special department responsible for paying taxes. How could there be tax evasion?"

"You took the police chief away earlier, and now you're causing trouble in our city hall. You really don't take us seriously, do you?"

As soon as these words came out, the scene was in an uproar.

As the people at the scene were all public officials, they of course knew about the incident in which the police chief was taken away by the IRS.

And now they have rushed to their city government and even want to take away their world's most thoughtful mayor. What is this?
This not only slaps the police department in the face, but now it's also slapping the municipal government in the face!
How can I bear it?

"Don't go too far, IRS!"

"You want to take our mayor away? Do you know what the consequences will be?"

"Do you IRS have any evidence? If you don't have any evidence, you are just messing with the mayor of such an important city. This will cause international unrest!!"

"..."

Although David also came this time, in order to maintain the dignity of the city hall, a group of public officials still surrounded them aggressively.

It has to be said that this posture really frightened many inspectors who came this time and made them take a few steps back.

But at this time, David pushed these people away and walked towards the group of public officials with an extremely calm look.

When facing these inspectors from Manhattan, this group of public officials was able to maintain their momentum by relying on their numbers.

But when they saw David coming towards them with such momentum, and thought that he was the most famous person in America today, these public officials began to panic.

Many even stepped back subconsciously, fearing that they would be the first to stand out.

【Name: Butler Kyle. 】

【Occupation: Municipal construction supervisor.】

[Monthly income: 18000 US dollars. 】

【Monthly gray income: 20 US dollars. 】

[Detailed income: On December 12, he received a red envelope from Little Eagle Construction Company and made a profit of 6 US dollars. On December 5, he received a benefit fee of 12 from Nok Stone. On December 13...]

"Mr. Butler, it was you who asked for evidence just now, right?"

David walked up to the man in a suit who was the first one to come up to him and warn him when they came in, stopped and looked at him straight.

"I...what do you mean I need evidence? Without evidence, how can we all be convinced? You can't just say that someone is suspected of tax evasion, so let's just assume tax evasion, right?"

Butler was of course very panicked when David called him out in public. He shouted loudly, hoping that the people behind him would give him some confidence.

But when they thought of David's reputation and methods, these people really didn't have the courage to be the first to take action, and they all shrank their heads and pretended to be dead.

"you……"

Seeing that everyone behind him was indifferent, Butler became even more panicked. At this moment, he suddenly felt a little regretful that he should not have been the first to take action!
"Mr. Butler, is the $6 from Kitty Hawk Construction okay?"

Hearing David's words, Butler felt like his soul was about to jump out. He quickly defended himself, "What did you say? What Eagle Construction Company? I don't know what you are talking about!"

"You don't know, right? You must know about Knok Stone, right? The 8 yuan was transferred to your brother's card. Should we go to the IRS to investigate the source?"

If it was a kickback from Kitty Hawk Construction Company, Butler would still refuse to admit it and refute it.

But he couldn't refute this Knok stone.

With the IRS's ability to audit accounts, there is basically no source of income that they cannot investigate if they want to.

But Butler just couldn't figure it out.

Why was it that David knew so much about his past just after they met?

Could it be that the other party had already investigated him before coming?
If that's the case, then the other party is really well prepared.

Ruined!
"Now, can we go and ask for your Mayor Andre?"

Butler, who was in a state of confusion, suddenly came to his senses after hearing these words.

By the way, when David and others came in just now, they were looking for Mayor Andre, not him.

In other words, the IRS should be targeting Andre this time, not him.

As long as he can behave well, Inspector General David in front of him might let him go!
Thinking of this, Butler, who seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, didn't care about so much, and quickly replied: "Inspector General David, please wait a moment, I will go and ask Mayor Andre to come over!"

Looking at Butler crawling away, the city hall staff who were still cowering on the side had complicated expressions.

Judging from the conversation between the two, David must have something on Butler that scared him like this.

And since David can control Butler's, he may be able to control theirs.

If they had stood up instead of Butler, they would be the ones in trouble now!
Thinking of this, everyone became even more frightened.

"What are you all standing there for? You don't have to work anymore, right?"

Just when everyone was still uneasy, David's dismissal voice made the municipal officials present suddenly come to their senses.

Then they all acted as if nothing had happened and that the IRS and others were invisible, and returned to their own busy posts.

"Haha."

The polarized behavior of these municipal public officials made the inspectors from the Manhattan Branch laugh.

Not far away, the media reporters who were blocked by the guards and could only shoot from a distance were stunned.

The two sides seemed to be on the verge of a fight, but how come within two minutes, not only did one official flee in a panic, but the others also dispersed as if pretending to be dead?

The IRS has come to your city hall and is offering punishment right in front of you. How can you still hold back?
What on earth did Inspector General David say to scare them like this?
Because these media reporters were unable to hear the conversation between the two parties in the hall, they all had big question marks on their faces.

After about seven or eight minutes, Mayor Andre, the highest official in New York, finally showed up in the right passage, and beside him was a white man in his fifties.

【Name: Peg Dennis. 】

【Occupation: Lieutenant Governor of New York State.】

【Monthly income: 31000 US dollars. 】

【Monthly gray income: 3000 US dollars. 】

[Detailed income:...]

[Tax payable: …]

【…】

After reviewing the information from the Lieutenant Governor of New York State, David felt a little emotional.

It can be said that this is almost one of the most honest officials he has ever seen.

What’s even more rare is that he is the lieutenant governor of a state.

After arriving at the hall, Andre frowned and felt unhappy when he saw the various "busyness" of the public officials on the scene.

This is the city government!
People from the IRS rushed here and shouted, are they all dead?

Don't you know how to save face for their city government?

Of course, Andre didn't know about the conversation between David and Butler just now. If he knew, he would understand why they were so cowardly and played ostrich.

"Inspector General David, right? I've heard of you for a long time. But you came to me today and accused the mayor of New York City of tax evasion. Are you serious about this, IRS? Does Director Obadiah know about this?"

Peg was not intimidated by David's reputation. She spoke in an accusatory tone as soon as she came up to him.

David didn't waste time talking to him. He just dialed Obadiah's number and said, "Director, I'm at New York City Hall. The Deputy Governor is also here. He wants to talk to you."

"Give him the phone!"

Peg didn't expect David to dial the phone directly. Facing the phone handed over, he was stunned for a moment before taking it and said:

"Commissioner Obadiah, as the Commissioner of the IRS, shouldn't you discipline your subordinates? They just took away our city's police chief not long ago, and now they are running wild in our city government. What do you think we are? You have to understand that New York is not an ordinary city, it is the world's financial center!"

"Lt. Governor Peg, of course I will discipline my subordinates. Now it's your state officials who are suspected of tax evasion, so let alone the city hall, we will take action even if it's the state government!!"

Obadiah on the other end of the phone was not polite at all and retorted.

"you……"

Peg was choked and replied with a dark face: "You said tax evasion, so you evaded taxes. Do you have evidence? If you take away the mayor of the world's number one city without evidence, do you know how much impact I will have on us?"

"Deputy Governor Peg, you will know whether there is evidence or not when the time comes. Anyway, let alone taking away your mayor, even if our Inspector General David wants to take away you, Deputy Governor Peg, you have to go with us. There is no other way!"

Although the Lieutenant Governor of New York State is also a well-known politician in the United States, Obadiah, as the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service, naturally does not need to be too afraid of him.

"Good Obadiah, it's true that your IRS has this power, but if you can't give an explanation afterwards, I will fight you even before the president!"

Seeing that Obadiah had complete support behind this matter, Peg had nothing more to talk about and could only hang up and hand the phone back to David.

"Mayor Andre..."

"Okay, I'll go with you!"

At this point, Andre had nothing more to say. He could only leave with David with a sullen face.

Soon, David walked out of the door with reason and came to the media reporters who were waiting.

At this time, the media reporters were dumbfounded again. They were not blind, so how could they not see who David brought out this time.

This is the mayor of New York.

And if nothing unexpected happens in the future, with his experience as the mayor of the world's largest city, he will have great hope of entering the state government or even holding an important position in the cabinet.

But Inspector General David can just take him away as he pleases?
The media reporters originally thought that this time they might just come to take away a certain official, but they never expected that it would be the mayor of a city.

"What are you standing there for? This will definitely be the front page of tomorrow's news. Take a picture of it!"

A reporter came back to his senses and quickly reminded the cameraman.

After his reminder, the rest of the people at the scene came to their senses and started taking crazy photos of Su Yi and his group.

……

At the Manhattan Branch, when Nahum saw that David really brought Andre back, the corners of his mouth twitched.

But he reacted quickly and went up to him and said, "I'm sorry, Mayor Andre. You know that our IRS is ruthless when it comes to cases involving tax evasion, but don't worry, if you are truly innocent, we will never wrongly accuse you!"

After all, Manhattan is in New York, and this man is the highest official in New York. Before he is completely dismissed from office, he still dare not offend him completely.

Otherwise, if the mayor is acquitted and then some obstacles are put in his way, their Manhattan branch’s tax revenue will be in big trouble.

"Um……"

Logically, he obviously didn't want to say more, so he responded weakly.

After taking the suspect to the detention room, David and Nahum gave some instructions, and then said to the previous inspection team: "Let's go, next one!"

"Wait...Inspector General David, who's next?"

Nahum asked slightly nervously.

"To the Seagram Building!"

"Are you going to take action against Stevenson?"

David nodded.

main entrance.

Seeing David and others come out, get in the car and drive away, the media reporters, who were like dog-skin plasters, immediately chased after them.

But soon, as they were chasing, they discovered something was wrong.

This time, David and others were heading towards... the Seagram Building!

This is the office of the two major candidates for the New York State Senate.

No no no no!

The media reporters seemed to have a premonition of what would happen next, and they all began to tremble.
