The inspector joked again, "Well, it looks like we need to hurry up and butter up the new boss..."
Bucky, "..."
...
Over here, after David arrived at Lewis''s office, he immediately began to report on today''s gains.
When Lewis heard that another few hundred thousand US dors had been ounted for, the corners of his mouth twitched naturally, eventually transforming into delight.
However, after the delight, he could not endure anymore and started to subtly probe David, wanting to know how David kept solving these cases repeatedly.
Of course, David couldn''t say it was the assistance of the golden finger, so he justughed it off and yed dumb. In short, the underlying message was four words - refusal to answer!
Seeing David''s reluctant stance, Lewis had no choice but to refrain from pressing too hard, merelyplimenting him a few times before preparing to let him go.
Just as he was about to leave, David seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, Chief Tax Officer, ording to the car theft gang, there is another gang from Bangguo in the Lake District. They are also involved in theft. Do we have any information on them at the office?"
Lewis pondered for a moment and replied, "I haven''t heard of them. If you want to investigate, then go ahead. The assessment period starts tomorrow, and I don''t have time to arrange cases for you at the moment."
"Understood!"
...
Upon returning to the third floor office, David discovered that there was a set of documents alreadyid out on the desk. He found out from his colleagues that it was sent by Miyano Masho''s group.
Without further thought, he opened and began to review it.
In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed, and David hade to understand some information about the Bangguo gang.
The gang was not small, consisting of about twenty people.
Their leader was a man named Quan Zhentai.
Just like Miyano Masho''s group, this gang also specialized in targeting tourists.
And ording to the documents, because they dealt in items that were easier to sell and valuable to tourists, their overall ie was even slightly higher than that of the Ind Nation people.
David stood up and said to Nisen, who was not far away, "I''ll be leaving first. Tonight at 8 PM, let''s meet up with these Bangguo people!"
"Tonight?"
Nisen was momentarily stunned; he did not expect David to be as decisive as ever, but still replied, "Okay, see you then!"
The assessment period was tomorrow.
Although their ounts had already amassed more than six hundred thousand dors in tax achievements, who would everin about having too much of that?
If tonight''s operation against the Bangguo people went well, then by the time of tomorrow''s assessment, they would have at least another few hundred thousand US dors added to their tax sess.
Then no doubt it would be even more impressive!
...
Night, where a bright moon hung high.
Senaco Street, this quiet and deserted road, was one of the least popted streets in the Lake District of Las Vegas, with few pedestrians and old trees stretching their lush branches on either side, casting mottled shadows on the sidewalk under the moonlight.
Most of the shops on the street were closed, with only the asional few still open, emitting a faint glow.
The reason was simple: this street was known for poor public safety, attracting all kinds of riffraff. Come nightfall, robberies and other criminal incidents would frequently ur.
Over time, this resulted in the current state of the street.
However, at the end of the street, a tavern named "Bangguo People" was brightly lit, with Asian facesing in and out from time to time.
"Is this the ce?"
Outside the tavern, a ck Volvo was parked, with David and Nisen sitting inside.
"ording to the information from Miyano, this is it. They use an auto repair shop as a front, and a tavern as another front, quite interesting!"
While saying this, David got out of the car and strode confidently towards the tavern.
And Nisen didn''t dare ck off, immediately following suit.
The pub''s interior had an ancient charm, with dim yellow lighting flowing over the wooden furniture, enveloping the space in an atmosphere of warmth and nostalgia.
The bar was adorned with various aged spirits, and the sparkling crystal sses shimmered enticingly under the light.
Behind the bar, a server was silently polishing sses, but upon seeing Nisen and David enter, he couldn''t help but size them up.

After scanning the server named Jin Guangyao with his "golden finger," David scanned the other people in the pub.
It turned out that Miyano Masho''s information was indeed urate.
This pub was the headquarters of those Bangguo People, and most of the people here, their true identities were thieves, with only a very small part being clueless individuals genuinely here to have a drink.
However, to be fair, these people were much more interesting than Miyano Masho''s group from the Ind Nation.
Likened to Miyano Masho''s group, they mostly dealt with car thefts.
But this bunch did home burries, had some who doubled as pickpockets on the streets, and even utilized seduction to inebriate targets for theft.
In short, they employed a multifarious array of theft methods, making them incredibly hard to guard against.
But, it must be said, from David''s observations, this group''sbined ie was indeed much higher than that group of Ind Nation people.
The Ind Nation bunch had several members earning less than ten thousand US dors monthly, whereas the current group all had a baseline ie above twenty thousand US dors.
Seeing but a fraction of their operations, one could believe that their leader named Quan Zhentai must also be raking in an even more lucrative ie!
"Friend, would you like something to drink?"
At that moment, the server named Jin Guangyao behind the bar spoke up.
