Chapter 1229 Fake News!
Naizi hurts, how much can it hurt?

It's hard to say, there are so many sensitive nerves in the chest, especially women, and the external pressure on the chest causes the heart rhythm to be disordered for a moment. For a moment, the woman feels that she will die here.

She was terrified, because before the scream of pain came out of her mouth, she was slapped back!

Snapped!
It's like... like...something viscous and complete is slammed on the smooth ground or the chopping board, and there seems to be such a short echo in the whole room!

The woman was so stunned that she forgot about the pain.

She tilted her head, her mind was blank, the ear on the side that was hit had severe tinnitus, and she even felt a heat flowing in her ear!
The man punched and slapped, then returned to the edge of the table to light a cigarette, resting his butt on the edge of the table, and began the formal interrogation.

"It's just the money you didn't declare for taxes, and you may have a relationship with the money laundering group, we can keep you in it for the rest of your life."

"But you know, this matter is not necessarily your fault. If you are willing to pay for other people's faults with your whole life, then I will tell the judge how determined you are."

"And don't think that there will be no process during this period. We will continue to interrogate you like this. This is the easiest."

"I have dozens of methods for you to experience one by one, maybe you will be interested!"

After the agent finished speaking, he paused for a while, giving the woman some time to accept and understand the information, and then asked, "Now tell me where every money came from and where you used it, Or to whom."

"We still have a lot of time!"

The half-scream in the interrogation room spread, but no one took it seriously. The special nature of the tax system gave them many things that seemed to exceed the limit of legal power.

For example, they can use the reason that "the case is not completely over and needs to be kept secret" as an excuse not to conduct public court hearings and trials. No one will know what happened. People can only learn about it from newspapers or certain places afterwards. Those whose names were blacked out were sentenced to heavy sentences.

So sometimes they are very unscrupulous. Of course, there are prerequisites for this. Their "opponent" has no way to make things so serious that the whole society pays attention.

A response, he does not have this ability!
At this time, the director of the local tax bureau had just hung up the phone. He was also smoking, looking at the dark sky outside the window, thinking about something.

The call just now was made by a guy named Johnson. He knew this guy. They met and talked with him in the upper-level meeting.

Johnson, formerly the Commissioner of the Sabine City Revenue Department, is now a consultant to the York State Revenue Department and is semi-retired.

Johnson called just now, hoping that he could increase the intensity of the interrogation a little bit, and hinted that there are big people who are concerned about this matter.

People like this who haven't been in touch for several years suddenly called to say these things, and the director was indeed a little bit worried.

After perfunctory Johnson, he called to ask about his relationship, and learned from some sources that Johnson seemed to have a little relationship with Lynch.

And Lynch, Mr. President's guest, "Shadow President" Mr. Truman's best friend, big capitalist, powerful, powerful, status, and rich.

This is indeed a fucking big shot, and then he also thought of some things in it. If there is something that must be done recently, it must have something to do with the state election.

This recruitment is very likely to be a key person.

The director felt that he was a little unlucky, but fortunately, the tax system was a vertical system, and the local government had no power to interfere with their work, which also made him not so afraid that the results of the investigation would be scary.

He didn't sleep well that night, he always felt that he would poke a big hole.

He came to the Federal Taxation Office early the next morning. As soon as he entered the office, two interrogating agents brought a document.

He didn't open it immediately, but tried to read something in advance through the expressions on the faces of the two agents.

"How is it?" He put the briefcase away, walked to the chair behind the desk and sat down, "What did you explain?"

Two agents look at me and I look at you.

They tossed and tossed until after eleven o'clock in the evening, and the woman finally couldn't bear to let go, but what she told them made their scalps a little numb.

After opening his mouth a few times, one of them finally gritted his teeth and told the truth.

"According to the woman herself, the 5 yuan was a hush money paid to her by the governor candidate Mr. Hicks, and the other money that was not taxed was the fee she collected when she was recruiting."

Although he was mentally prepared, when it really happened, the director's mind was still buzzing.

He scratched his head, his scalp was itchy, but the temperature was actually not high at this time.

Looking at the report in front of him, he sighed, "I know, don't reveal these things before the matter has a result..."

After telling his staff to leave, he hesitated, asked someone to check the phone number of the York State office, and then found Consultant Johnson.

As soon as the call was connected, he said bluntly, "It has something to do with Hicks, is that what you want?"

Johnson was not annoyed or embarrassed at all, "Mr. Director, no one actually does anything. Even without us, you can find these things just as well."

"We just let you speed up the speed and expose the case that you might have kept hidden."

"You don't have to hate me, what anger is there for me, you have to know that when the gears of fate start to turn, we are all just pawns on the chessboard!"

"By the way, I heard that your son will receive a full scholarship this year. I congratulate you in advance..."

The director's son was in the second grade at a school of the Holy Harmony Alliance, and the tuition was very expensive, so expensive that it was difficult for him, the director, to support himself.

This is why he used a lot of favors to throw his son in, and the Holy Harmony School didn't look down on a regional tax bureau chief at all. From the beginning, he had no idea of ​​giving his son a scholarship.

Now, Johnson's words let him understand that Johnson is not "bragging" that there is a big man behind him manipulating all this, but that there is really a big man.

A full scholarship to the Holy Harmony College, no matter how it came about, this means that his son may become a preselected candidate for the Holy Harmony...

This is a rare opportunity, even though he knows that this identity is actually the lowest level in the Holy Harmony, and it is only the "lower level" that serves those senior members.

But serving the president, serving the presidents of the consortium, and serving the society like him, is the nature the same?
Of course not!
After hanging up the phone, he didn't feel any more anxiety and uneasiness. He looked at the report in front of him, and then called the state office, "... I checked a case yesterday and found some problems. I don't know how to deal with them. Do you have time this afternoon?"

He knows very well that once Hicks gets involved in the black money scandal, his chances of winning the election are almost zero!

Because it is an anonymous account, no one knows how much money is in this anonymous account, and it also involves some sex scandals, which is fatal for a politician!
Later, when these reports were placed on the desk in Zhou's office, the director breathed a sigh of relief.

The trouble is given to someone else.

The federal tax system is unique in that it is not managed by local governments, which also ensures its neutrality in some respects.

Soon the state office was approved by the Federal Tax Administration to investigate Hicks.

Of course, this kind of investigation is not at the level of arrest and search warrants, it is just an ordinary inquiry.

Just because some people say that these things are like this, you can't just listen to it and believe it. There must be evidence.

It was an anonymous account, and the federation had always taken a tough attitude towards anonymous accounts, rejecting any form of investigation, and the same was true for ordinary accounts.

Protecting the private information of depositors from disclosure has become a certain correct direction. The public is very supportive of the bank's approach, and politicians will not forcefully pass relevant bills in Congress in order not to lose the support of public opinion.

This has also made it difficult for many investigations involving banks to proceed unless there is an irresistible intervention!
Before there is a clear result, we can only investigate first.

Inquiry is also one of the ways of investigation.

Journalists and skilled women are skilled people who can bring cheap pleasure to the masses.

The pleasures of technical women are simple and straightforward, and so are the pleasures of journalists.

It only takes [-] cents to buy a newspaper, and then people will smile knowingly when they see those reporters making up things.

This kind of happiness is higher, because it comes from spiritual satisfaction.

If you want to be a very successful reporter, you must master some elements, such as keeping an eye on the forefront of the news all the time.

If there is one thing that has attracted the most attention from the public recently, it is undoubtedly the governor elections in various states.

Every day around those candidates, there are countless reporters hovering.

Hicks has just finished a meeting with veterans. As a soldier, it is necessary for him to pay attention to the life and work of veterans, which is also one of his policy agenda.

He wants to give more attention to the group of soldiers and provide them with more convenience.

Even if no one likes this approach, at least it won't make people hate it.

As soon as he got home, he found someone in the uniform of the "Federal Revenue Service" waiting for him.

A few people were at the door of his house, and the people on both sides chatted for a while, and then entered Hicks' house.

A little later, the fabricated news came out hotly——"Candidate Hicks Suspected of Financial Fraud Was Investigated by Taxation Authorities"

It is said in such detail as if the reporter saw it with his own eyes, and he knew it was fucking fake news at a glance.

But fake news is also news, and some people will like to read it!
