Hearing that Augustus wanted to see him for something, and seeing the strange look on Mona's face, Luo An's expression froze slightly.
He thought of the SUV he had just used the American stop method and accidentally hit the front of the car.
At this moment, Lacey returned to Investigation Team 5.
Luo An's eyes lit up and he asked:
"How's it going, Lacey, did you catch the bank clerk?"
"certainly!"
Lacey took a sip of coffee and explained with a smile:
“That guy is very timid, and if I scare him a little, he will do anything.
That guy was an informant bought by Lilani Keller. He usually had nothing to do, but whenever he found out that someone was investigating the financial status of the cosmetics company, the guy would immediately call Lilani Keller. "
The detectives suddenly realized, and Luo An nodded, understanding the reason why Lilani Keller was frightened and ran away before.
After thinking about it, Luo An turned to look at everyone and said:
“Everyone, we must learn from this experience.
If similar activities occur in the future, be sure to monitor the communications between the target person and those around him at all times. "
"That's right!"
"you're right!"
Upon hearing this, all the agents nodded solemnly, and William and other technicians even patted their chests and promised that they would pay more attention to these aspects in the future.
Luo An nodded with satisfaction, then took the investigation information from Lacey's hand and walked into the team leader's office calmly.
"Hello, sir."
Entering the team leader's office, besides Augustus, there was also a middle-aged white man wearing a gray striped suit.
Nodding and greeting the other party, Luo An handed the folder to Augustus, and then said with a smile:
"Sir, the two suspects have been captured and the guy who tipped off the information has been dealt with. Today's operation was a complete success."
"..."
After taking the document and looking at the innocent smile on Luo An's face, as if he had no idea what was going on, Augustus' lips twitched.
The SUV in the garage was still waiting for him, Augustus, to pay for repairs. He really didn't know how expensive firewood and rice were.
But Augustus quickly put this matter behind him. Anyway, the situation of the SUV was not very serious, and the activities of the No. 5 Investigation Team could afford the money.
"This is the senior agent of our No. 5 Investigation Team, Roan Greenwood."
Putting the folder on the table, Augustus smiled and introduced to both parties:
"This is the senior investigative team leader from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Criminal Investigation Division."
"Hello, Agent Roan."
The unattractive middle-aged white man smiled and extended his hand to Luo An:
"Just call me Elmer."
"Hello, Chief Elmer."
After learning Elmer's identity, Luo An was in awe and hurriedly reached out his hand to shake his hand.
The Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Division, also known as IRS-CI, is a terrifying department that makes countless federal citizens shudder.
The reason for the horror is simple. Ordinary investigators within the IRS are responsible for managing tax evasion and other illegal activities, while the Criminal Investigation Division is responsible for financial crimes.
Among the tax evaders in the federal territory, in addition to ordinary wealthy people, there are also a bunch of rich people, big companies and big consortiums.
These are the primary targets of the IRS Criminal Investigation Division.
According to the federal constitution, the federal government has the power to tax federal citizens’ income from all sources.
This "all sources" includes not only ordinary legal income, but also a host of illegal activities such as smuggling, money laundering, robbery, and book trafficking.
However, talents who often work in these blue ocean industries are often not very motivated to pay taxes.
Therefore, the Criminal Investigation Division of the Internal Revenue Service often chooses to use physical means to collect taxes.
In the process of using physical means, we will not mention weapons. During the specific operation, agents of the IRS Criminal Investigation Division can directly break down the door and arrest people without permission; ignore Miranda warnings; ignore confidentiality laws, and have the right to call on all other law enforcement Information within the department; suspects have no right to remain silent, etc.
The most outrageous thing is that the department can arrest people first and then search for evidence.
Thinking of this, Luo An glanced at Augustus calmly.
He did not expect that the other party could bring the chief of this department over to handle the Kanas money laundering case.
But that's okay. Luo An was still thinking about the possibility of Kanas, as a rich man, to remove himself from this case.
But now Luo An has no worries at all. Being targeted by IRS-CI, Kanas' happy life has entered a countdown.
"I've heard of you, Luo An. Since you joined the No. 5 Investigation Team, the detection rate of this investigation team has started to rise sharply."
Withdrawing his hand, Elmer looked at Luo An carefully up and down a few times, with admiration in his eyes, and asked with a smile:
"How about it? Are you interested in working for me?"
Hearing this, Luo An had not yet responded. August suddenly stood up with his eyes widened:
"Hey! Elmer, I've given you a gift today, don't go too far!"
When Augustus and Elmer were young, they had worked together for a long time in a certain department in New York, and they were very familiar with each other.
"To be honest, August, I feel that a talent like Luo An is a bit wasted on you."
The smile on Elmer's face remained unchanged. No leader doesn't like talents, especially leaders like him who compete with the rich people every day.
Elmer briefly checked Roan's information before coming here, and then he fell in love with this smart senior FBI agent.
For Elmer, intelligence is far more important than skill, not to mention that Luo An has solved so many cases in a short period of time.
So Elmer chose to ignore August’s dissatisfaction and said to Roan with a smile:
"If you come to my place, I can guarantee that your level will not change and you will still be a senior agent!"
This is quite a show of sincerity.
"Thank you for your appreciation, sir."
Glancing at August standing next to him, Luo An smiled and said:
"But I prefer to solve cases. The team leader and team supervisor take good care of me. The work and life of the FBI are more suitable for me."
Luo An was not one to jump to the IRS Criminal Investigation Division on a whim.
The work there is really high-turnover and high-efficiency. Their real goal is to open and close cases as quickly as possible and get tax revenue.
Moreover, among the many law enforcement agencies in the federal territory, the internal employees of the IRS have the highest work pressure and the highest lapse rate and crime rate.
Luo An's goal in this life is to solve crimes, make money and enjoy life, rather than stage a 996 workplace war.
"Hahaha……"
August laughed with satisfaction after hearing this, walked out from behind the desk, and patted Elmer's shoulder triumphantly.
"All right."
Elmer was not angry after being rejected. The smile on his face did not change. He took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Luo An:
"Take it. If you change your mind later, you can make this call."
After saying that, Elmer patted Luo An on the shoulder, then left the team leader's office with a folder. Before leaving, he didn't forget to look back and add:
"By the way, Augustus, remember to send me a copy of all the information related to the Kanas money laundering case later!"
"no problem!"
Augustus waved his hand and agreed, turned around and sat back in his chair, threw the SUV maintenance documents aside, then handed the other two folders to Luo An, and said with a smile:
"open to take a look."
