United states tax collector

Chapter 213 Preparing for Exchange

"Go to the World Trade Center Association."

According to the information investigated by the CIA, there is also a high possibility that there are spies from the Bear Country in this trade center.

But since the purpose of the World Trade Centers Association is to encourage the expansion of world trade and promote international business relations and mutual understanding between countries, it is simply an international organization.

In order to avoid causing international public opinion and diplomatic conflicts between the two countries, the CIA and FBI did not dare to rush in to investigate with great fanfare, and could only conduct investigations secretly.

But maybe the Xiong Country’s spies were hidden too well, so until now, the two agencies have not been able to determine who the spies are.

The World Trade Center Association is a 60-story skyscraper located in the center of Long Beach. David arrived here twenty minutes later.

Just like at Caltech, in order to ensure his own safety, he did not choose to get out of the car when he came here, but observed the people coming in and out of the car.

It wasn't until two hours later that a man in a short-cut suit appeared and caught his attention.

[Name: Connor Rex. 】

[Occupation: Member of the World Trade Center Association. 】

[Income: Legal income is 69,000 US dollars, illegal income is 160,000 US dollars. 】

[Income details: On January 2, through an official named Pedri of the Ministry of Commerce, he obtained confidential transaction information about American exports to England, and finally passed it back to the Bear Country and received a bonus of US$50,000. On January 19, Obtain the floating tax rate from Los Angeles Customs in advance through bribery, and finally pass it back to the Bear Country to receive a bonus of US$60,000...]

【More details:……】

[Tax payable: US$44,800. 】

"It turned out to be a commercial spy..."

After reviewing the man's information, David showed a smile, then stretched out his hand to point to Nissen and said, "Did you see that guy?"

"I saw it, what's wrong, Director?"

"Notify the bureau, activate the Sky Eye system to see where he is going, and then find a suitable place to capture him. We still have to keep him alive."

These spies are not ordinary people. They must have received counter-reconnaissance training, so it is best to activate electronic products such as the Sky Eye system to track them and wait until they are in the right place to capture them.

"Understood."

An hour later, Nissen put down the phone and said to David: "Chief, our people have captured the guy and are taking him back to the bureau now."

David nodded and continued to observe the people coming in and out.

Time passed and it soon came to 5 o'clock.

It was probably time to get off work at this time. A large number of association members came out of the building, and David quickly targeted two more commercial spies through the scanning function of Goldfinger.

He also immediately ordered Nissenbaki and others to arrange for arrests.

After that, since time was no longer suitable for arresting spies from other places, he had no choice but to return to the Western Suburbs Branch first.

After learning that he was back, Hakim immediately came to him and said: "Director, the two spies have been placed in the detention room. As for some interesting things found in their homes, in addition they The computer is being cracked."

"Bring them to the interrogation room and let me interrogate them."

"good."

Soon, the two spies captured from the California Institute of Technology were brought into the interrogation room of the bureau.

And shortly after them, David walked in.

The two of them obviously knew David. After seeing him come in, there was a slight change in their expressions, but it was quickly covered up by them.

"Do you know why I brought you back?"

The two looked at each other, and then the man named Hamilton replied in an unpleasant tone: "Director David, I am a specially appointed researcher at the California Institute of Technology. I don't know why you brought me back, or why?" In such a rude way, if you can’t give me a reasonable explanation, I will definitely sue you!”

The rough way he meant, of course, was being stunned and brought back.

David laughed disdainfully and replied: "If you're not afraid of your identity being exposed, just go ahead and sue."

Hearing the words "identity exposed", a hidden change flashed in the eyes of the two people, but Hamilton retorted: "What identity is exposed? What are you talking about?"

"Hamilton, oh no, strictly speaking, I want to call you Mr. Ftoryak, the 116th special training officer of the Bear Country's Federal Security Service. I don't know if I'm right?"

After finishing speaking, David looked at the woman beside him and said, "Ms. Elsie, you didn't use a pseudonym, but you are the 118th special training personnel of the Bear Country's Federal Security Department. I'm right. Bar?"

"I don't know what the Bear FSB is!"

Elsie's stubbornness made David smile disdainfully, and then said: "On December 19, 2021, you stole Professor Betasi's genetic technology and passed it to Xiong Country, and finally received a bonus of US$30,000. , and on December 28, you obtained Professor Ted's artificial intelligence technology through Professor Bettaxi's relationship, and after passing it back to the Bear Country, you received a bonus of 60,000 US dollars..."

After saying this, David looked at Ftoriak and continued: "And you, Ftoriak, on February 11, 2021, you stole the cell therapy research results of Professor Baumar of the University , received a $50,000 bonus after being transmitted to the Bear Country. On January 10th, stole Professor Gustav’s biotechnology research results, and received a $30,000 bonus after being transmitted to the Bear Country. On January 16th..."

Seeing that everything they had done during this period was revealed one by one, their expressions instantly became gloomy.

It wasn't until a long while later that Elsie said, "What do you want?"

Although she knew that the IRS was only responsible for tax collection, judging from David's identity and his current expression, she felt that it was definitely not just for his small tax collection.

"I don't want to do anything, I just want to send you back to the past."

"Deported back home?"

Elsi and Ftoriak speculated on many possibilities.

For example, force them to pay taxes, arrest them, or hand them over to the FBI or CIA.

But as for sending them back to the country, they really haven't thought about it.

"Don't you want to go back?"

The two looked at each other again. If their identities were exposed and they could be deported back to the country, it would definitely be a great thing for them.

Because generally speaking, once a spy lurking in another country is discovered, he will be imprisoned at least, and he will be tortured in all kinds of ways at worst.

But having said that, they didn't believe that David would be so kind, so after a pause, Elsie immediately asked: "Yes, yes, what are the conditions?"

"I need your confession, as well as all the data you sent back to the Bear Country. As soon as you complete the explanation, you can return to the country."

Because of the golden finger, David knew all the information about these two people, but he knew it was him who knew it, but there must be actual evidence in order for the CIA to confirm that these two people were spies. .

Otherwise, it will become his 'one-sided statement', which will cause some trouble.

Hearing this, the two frowned.

Just now, David pointed out the specific date they were on, what they did, and how much bonus they received in the end. They thought all their information had been exposed.

But in this case, why would David ask him to explain this now?

Isn't this unnecessary?

Could it be that……

What David said just now was just to deceive them?

If this is the case, and they have now taken the initiative to confirm their confession and hand over the information, wouldn't they be sure to be punished?

David seemed to see what the two of them were thinking, and immediately warned: "Don't think I'm deceiving you. If you tell the truth, compare it with our data. If it's correct, you can return to the bear country. Otherwise, next time, The one who is interrogating you is the CIA!"

When they heard the words CIA, their expressions instantly tightened, and then they looked at each other again. Finally, Elsie asked: "Are you sure we can go back to the Bear Country?"

"I wonder if you have ever heard of Rodgorski?"

"Rodgorski?!"

Elsie paused. As a spy, she naturally needed to receive and master information from all aspects, and she had also heard about the Rodgorski bounty incident.

Could it be...

She seemed to have thought of something, and then asked tentatively: "Do you want to use us in exchange for Rodgorski?"

"That's right."

"Okay, then we have no problem."

Now Elsie finally understood why David went to such trouble to catch them back. It turned out to be this idea.

But since this is the case, then he is definitely not lying to them by asking them to return to the Bear Country.

As for the information they want to reveal, it is nothing more than confessions and stealing the information that was sent back to the Bear Country. It is not asking them to betray their own organization, so there is nothing to hesitate about.

Not long after interrogating these two people, the three spies previously targeted at the World Trade Association were also brought back. Nothing went wrong and all three were captured alive.

David didn't take a break and immediately started interrogating these three people.

Under his offensive, the result was also very smooth. When these three people faced the two choices of being taken over by the CIA or being sent back to the country, they naturally chose the latter very wisely.

"Haha, with these five people in hand, the Bear Country will definitely be happy to trade Rodgorski back."

"He's just a drug dealer. Unless Xiong Country loses his mind, he will definitely be replaced."

In the office, Nissenbaki Simons became happy, they had long been furious with Rodgorski for taking such provocative behavior.

But now they have the opportunity to punish the other party, which naturally makes them excited.

Sitting on the boss's chair, David's expression could be considered comfortable at the moment.

Although these five spies are not extremely important spies, in the eyes of Xiongguo officials, there is no way that five elite spies can be inferior to one drug dealer. There should be no problem in the exchange.

"Stop being happy and get ready. We will continue to go out tomorrow morning. The addresses are City Hall and Santa Monica Naval Air Station..."

According to David's plan, it should be enough to exchange five spies for Rodgorski, but after all, this is information provided by the CIA, and it must be given a little sweetness.

David still spent this night in the western suburbs branch.

As the second day passed, the public opinion on this incident not only did not weaken, but gradually got out of control.

At the entrance of the western suburbs branch, reporters from major TV stations followed on a rotating basis, monitoring the people coming and going at the door 24 hours a day.

"Hello everyone, this is the Los Angeles Times. Today is the third day of the Rodgorski bounty incident. At present, the Western Suburban Bureau has not taken any measures. Please continue to pay attention to the reports brought by our TV station..."

As major media reported on the scene, the citizens of Los Angeles and some netizens across the country who were paying attention to the incident could no longer hold back their emotions.

"Today is already the third day. Why hasn't Director David taken any measures? Is there really nothing we can do?"

"Don't say that no measures have been taken. Since the leader of the criminal group issued the reward, Director David has never even stepped out of the bureau's door. To put it bluntly, this is too cowardly. Rat."

"After hearing that Chief David led armed forces to invade the Indians to collect taxes, I have always been impressed by his charisma, but now... I am so disappointed."

Americans have always admired heroic roles, which is the main reason why Batman, Superman, and Spider-Man were born and even became popular across the country.

In the past, whether David led armed forces to invade the Indian tribe, or after coming to Los Angeles, he used an iron fist to clean up the Rodgorski Group, showing a heroic attitude in fighting crime.

But now, after facing the reward issued by Rodgorski, not only did he lose his previous heroic demeanor, he even hid in the bureau for several days without coming out. How could this not make the local citizens of Los Angeles and many netizens feel disappointed.

Washington D.C. General Administration.

"Now and on the third day, David and his western suburbs branch have no reaction at all. Is this what he calls a solution?"

"Haha, I have long said that it would be over if the CIA took action directly. If it had taken action at that time, the public opinion would not have reached this level now!"

"Now that public opinion has reached this point, even if we let the CIA kill Rodgorski, it will be difficult to restore our image. Deputy Director Donald, you will be responsible for this!"

Facing the attack by Lahan and others, the David supporters headed by Donald were all sullen and speechless.

Although they have taken various measures to curb the fermentation of public opinion, they still underestimated the emotions of the media and the people, which has led to the current situation becoming more and more collapsed.

It can be said that if David cannot catch Rodgorski as promised to him within today's deadline.

Then the god-making plan they worked so hard to create, David, the spokesman for the black tax bill, has really become a joke!

"Donald, what's going on with David?"

Obadiah also looked very unhappy at this time.

Although Lahan and others did not dare to point the finger at him, he was not a fool, so how could he not hear the tone of pointing fingers at Sang and Huai.

Not to mention that he was a supporter of David, he had denied killing Rodgorski directly through the CIA a few days ago, and it was also his decision to give David three days to operate.

If this matter doesn't end well, he will have to take the blame.

"I'll ask him again."

Donald immediately took out his cell phone, dialed David's number and turned on the speakerphone at the same time: "David, what on earth did you do? Have you taken any action? The public opinion outside is deteriorating every day. If this continues, , no one can help you!"

His words were not only meant for David, but also made it clear to Lahan and others that at this time, he would definitely not and could not continue to defend David.

"Of course, don't worry, Deputy Director Donald, I will definitely give you an answer before tonight!"

"Tonight? Are you sure?"

"I am sure."

"Well, I'll wait for your news!"

After ending the call, Donald looked at everyone and said, "It's already this time. You don't mind waiting a little longer, right?"

"Okay, then let's wait for him for a while longer and see what answer he can give!"

Although Lahan and others were very dissatisfied with the three-day deadline given to David by Donald and Obadiah, they had agreed at that time. The deadline has not passed yet, and it is not their turn to have a complete attack.

But it doesn't matter, they will know the result tonight anyway.

Western Suburbs Branch.

After putting down the phone, David immediately called Bucky Nissen-Simmons and others over and asked, "Are you ready?"

"Ready."

"Then let's go!"

Just like yesterday, David and others slipped out through the arranged side door of the utility room, and then took a prepared vehicle to the entrance of the Los Angeles City Hall.

According to the intelligence information provided by the CIA, some recent policy planning secrets of the City Hall have also been leaked to the Bear Country, so spies are very likely to appear here.

Time passed quickly, and it came to noon.

It was lunch time, and a large number of people from the city hall emerged. After some observation, David pointed at a man wearing a black suit and hat.

Nissenbaki and others on the side also understood the meaning instantly, and immediately gave instructions to the arranged personnel through the headset.

After another half hour, after confirming that there was no target to capture, David said: "Go to the Santa Monica Naval Air Station."

Santa Monica Naval Air Station is located in the Santa Monica area of ​​Los Angeles. It is an important base of the U.S. Naval Aviation on the West Coast and the home port of the U.S. Navy's 12th Fleet.

This is also where CIA intelligence data shows that spies have appeared.

After arriving here, while David was eating hamburgers to satisfy his hunger, he also began to monitor the place.

Time passed by and it soon came to 5.30 in the afternoon.

A large number of people from the airport came out, and David quickly noticed something unusual about the two of them, and immediately ordered: "The bald guy in the yellow vest, and the guy with the beard and the tool box."

"clear."

After receiving the order, Bakkinison and others immediately arranged for people to prepare for the arrest.

About twenty minutes later, Bucky received the news from his men, and then said to David: "The bald man has been caught, no problem."

"The guy with the tools on my side was also captured alive."

Nissen also received the news at this time.

"Let's go back."

Generally speaking, today's operation to capture spies was considered smooth, but the difference from yesterday was that he captured 5 spies yesterday, but today he only captured 4 in total from the city hall and the naval air station.

But in terms of importance, the four caught today are much more important than yesterday.

Not to mention the one lurking in the Los Angeles City Hall, the spy at the Naval Air Station is obviously involved in national defense and security, and he must be someone the CIA desperately wants.

On the way back to the bureau, David dialed Elvis's number and said, "Director Elvis, I have captured the man. Come to our bureau to get your share of the man."

At the same time, in a CIA stronghold in Los Angeles, Elvis was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then immediately asked: "Were all arrested in several locations?"

"Yes."

After being confirmed again, Elvis's expression froze, as if time had stood still.

Among the information he gave to the past, there were four locations, and there were thousands of people in each of these locations.

Not to mention finding the hidden spies among these thousands of people, it would probably take several months just to investigate their identity information one by one.

But now it has only been three days since he gave the information to David, and David actually said that people from several locations have been arrested?

If David hadn't said it himself, and if he hadn't heard it with his own ears now, he wouldn't have believed it even to death.

"Come here and collect people, I have other things to deal with."

"good."

Elvis couldn't care less about other things. He immediately called Jerome and ordered: "Prepare an escort vehicle. Let's go to the western suburbs branch."

"Escort car?"

Jerome was confused.

"David said he caught someone."

"What?"

Jerome looked as disbelieving as Elvis before.

"Go quickly."

"yes."

Jerome didn't dare to talk nonsense and went to make arrangements immediately.

Western Suburbs Branch.

After bringing these four people back, David did not interrogate them like yesterday, because yesterday he had already obtained the information given by the five people from Elsie, which could prove that he had caught real spies.

As for these four people, the CIA can just find its own way to interrogate them.

"Go to the Xiong Country Consulate and tell them that I have something to talk to their Consul General and tell him to come over!"

The Bear Country's embassy is in Washington, and there is only their consulate in Los Angeles, so David can only talk to their consul general about the replacement.

"yes."

After receiving the order, Nissen immediately turned and left.

And not long after he left, Bucky walked in with Elvis.

"Director David, I heard that you arrested someone?"

David didn't reply, but picked up the information about Elsie's five people and handed it over.
