American Tax Officer

"Knock, knock, knock..."

Just as David was deep in thought, someone knocked on the door.

"Come 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 \'Mexico Gang\' is supplying Dieter\'s establishments with forbidden goods."

David nodded, picking up the report and reading it carefully.

Soon, he had grasped the framework of the Mexico Gang.

The Mexico Gang, as the name suggested, were drug dealers from Mexico; 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 methods to monopolize the Las Vegas trade in illicit goods.

The boss of the Mexico Gang was known as Zimmerman 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 Zimmerman, 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 moment, 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 establishments 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 income 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 mentioning.

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 named 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 blame 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 something else, someone knocked on the door again, so he decided to leave it be and answered, "Come in!"

As he spoke, Megan 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 symmetrical. 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 member."

Megan pointed at the woman behind her and said, "This is Selina Kennedy!"

Upon hearing the name 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. Welcome 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 moment, 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 moment of being stunned, came forward to greet her one by one.

Soon, only Nisen remained.

At that time, his feelings were complicated. He was not blind; he could see that Megan had a faint respect for this Selina.

How could Megan, the distinguished deputy inspector of the Lake District Sub-Bureau Branch, show such respect to a new inspector?

Unless this inspector came with an impressive background!

Or, as her name 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 times 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 same 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 met, that\'s good. Selina, you can come to Director David or me anytime if there\'s anything you need. I\'ll go tend to some official business now!"

"Understood, Deputy Chief Megan!"

After Megan 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 Megan would be so polite to her?"

The others had already guessed as much, but David\'s answer confirmed it.

Nevertheless, they were still puzzled.

The Kennedy Family, with its vast estate and business, wielded significant influence in both politics and business in America.

Why would she come to their Lake District to be an insignificant inspector?

"Shit, why would somebody from the Kennedy Family come to our Lake District Sub-Bureau?"

Nisen\'s discontent interrupted everyone\'s thoughts.

However, they could understand his feelings.

Selina didn\'t seem like someone who was here to seriously work as an inspector. Who would want to partner with such a high-maintenance lady?

At that moment, 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 Megan, 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 somewhat better after David\'s words.

David then turned to Bucky, "Bring that informant of yours to meet with me!"

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.
