The amount of money in this case is huge, and a small sergeant of the Los Angeles Police Department cannot afford it! "
"How big is it?"
"One hundred million?"
As an undercover FBI agent, Isabella far surpasses Carter in terms of personal abilities and the intelligence she possesses.
Now three parties have gathered, and both of them want to take the lead in the case.
Isabella would definitely not give in and was immediately ready to give Carter a blow.
So after hearing Carter's quote of "100 million", she picked up a stack of banknotes on the table, shook it to her ear, uttered one word and smiled: "One billion!"
"A whole billion dollars!"
"One billion!" Carter exclaimed, quickly raised his hands and covered his mouth.
Li Shaoze's unhurried look made Isabella take a high look.
"Yes, a full billion dollars."
"And it's a super counterfeit banknote, extremely lifelike."
"Fourteen of the fifteen World Banks couldn't tell the difference between them."
The degree of realism of this batch of counterfeit banknotes has exceeded the limits of "imitation technology" and cannot be achieved simply by "counterfeiting".
There are definitely a lot of "real" elements in it!
At first, Li Shaoze only focused on arresting people and solving crimes, and he really didn't have much interest in counterfeit money.
After all, he has seen many counterfeit banknote cases. Ajie's family had a counterfeit banknote factory before. However, they were minting Hong Kong dollars and did not dare to mint U.S. dollars.
Because the U.S. dollar is the most liquid and hardest-valued currency in the world. Anti-counterfeiting technology and the difficulty of counterfeiting banknotes are among the best in the world.
The buyers and distributors of counterfeit banknotes also look at the quality of the goods.
Song Zihao used to make Hong Kong dollars and still sell them. If he dared to make US dollars, the goods would have been slow to sell and he would have lost money without the police catching him.
Now that he heard that Tan Liji's batch of US dollars was so powerful, Li Shaoze couldn't help but become interested. He pointed at the stack of US dollars in Isabella's hand and asked, "Is this a counterfeit banknote?"
"Have vision!"
Isabella stood up and sat next to Li Shaoze, raised her thin legs wearing hotel cotton slippers, patted the banknotes, took out a counterfeit banknote and said: "I am Stephen's girlfriend who just met, and this pack of banknotes is from the distributor below. A meeting gift for me."
"You know, that distributor has attracted the attention of the FBI."
"Stephen will probably kill him when he comes back to L.A., and he needs me to put in a good word for him."
How cool it would be for a wealthy businessman like Stephen to have the opportunity to hook up with the twin sister of a female star.
The FBI's honey trap is really powerful.
I just don’t know if Isabella has been succeeded by him.
It looks like not yet...
Carter walked to the sofa, looked at Isabella and asked: "Who is the distributor below? We can start from him!"
"You are so smart."
"That distributor is a triad gangster in Chinatown. You asked him to testify against Stephen."
Isabella seemed to agree with Carter's words very much, nodded, and even praised him specially.
Carter's black face suddenly turned a little red. I touched my head in embarrassment, like a child in kindergarten.
It seems that since the two entered the room, Isabella prefers to talk to Officer Li. Why? Of course it's because Officer Li is more handsome, only a little bit more handsome than him.
Carter understood this. After all, women always like handsome men, but unfortunately, handsomeness cannot compare with intelligence. Sure enough, now Isabella was conquered by his wisdom.
This is not the first woman he has conquered with his wisdom, nor will it be the last...
"I'm obviously mocking you, why are you still shy?" Li Shaoze sat next to him, glanced at Carter, and asked Isabella specifically: "Why can Stephen's batch of counterfeit banknotes be so real?"
"Because, his templates, money printing machines, and banknotes are all real!"
“In 1959, the federal government was very friendly with the Iranian royal family, and their purpose was simple: they wanted Iranian oil.”
"To this end, the federal government gave Iran a special gift, an American-made intaglio printing press."
"That was the only money printing press that left the federal territory, and it entered the black market three years ago and was purchased by Stephen."
"Soon after, he bought a hundred-dollar banknote printing template in Switzerland, which was the second most difficult thing. As for banknote printing paper? The federal government issued an environmental protection decree three years ago, calling for the reuse of paper materials!"
"So the discarded banknotes in the banknote printing factory will be printed into books, documents, and drawing paper. As long as you look carefully, you can find real banknotes in many ways."
After Isabella finished speaking, she picked up a lighter from the table and lit a banknote in her hand. I saw the banknotes emitting red firelight and emitting a line of black smoke, which looked very dazzling in the room.
"The ink is the only difference."
"They can't get the ink from the banknote printing factory, so they can only print with ink from India. The fire after burning is red."
"Real banknotes burn black."
Isabella threw the banknote into the ashtray, took out a real banknote, and lit it, and black flames appeared.
awesome.
The four major elements required for printing banknotes are printing press, template, banknote paper, and ink. Three of them are true and only one is false! No wonder most of the world banks are unable to verify the authenticity of banknotes.
Because, in addition to burning, it feels and looks exactly like real banknotes, and it can also pass currency detectors and bank audits. If it weren't for the personal identification by senior experts, it would be impossible to tell the authenticity from the fake.
It seems that this batch of counterfeit banknotes will be discovered by the police, which is somewhat of a coincidence.
As long as Stephen is careful, the U.S. government may not be able to find out if the banknotes are scattered all over the world.
It is indeed a super counterfeit banknote!
If Li Shaoze hadn't heard Isabella's analysis, he would really have thought that these banknotes were counterfeit banknotes that "Stephen" had sneaked into the US banknote printing factory and produced in the banknote printing factory.
Carter was also shocked by Isabella's words. After calming down for a moment, he clapped his hands and shouted, "I'm sorry."
"I think the flow of counterfeit banknotes like one billion will seriously affect the country's market economy."
"you're right."
Isabella nodded, turned her gaze to him and said, "So this case will be investigated by the FBI."
"I hope Chief Carter, Officer Li, you can cooperate with my actions."
Li Shaoze shrugged his shoulders, showing an indifferent attitude.
After all, he didn't really care about the ownership of the case. It didn't belong to the Hong Kong Criminal Department anyway.
But Carter showed no sign of weakness and said: "No."
"I, Chief Carter, am the commander of the case, and I will never give up my command!"
"The triad boss of Chinatown, right? Humph, I'm very familiar with Chinatown. Let's see who can catch him first!"
Using Carter's IQ to analyze the clues just now, he can find the fastest way. That is to catch the boss of the Chinatown Triad and let the distributor testify against Stephen.
As a wealthy businessman, Stephen could not escape from the monks, but he could not escape from the temple. In the end, he had to be captured obediently.
This method is great!
Isabella smiled sweetly, raised her eyebrows and said, "Okay! Let's see who can catch him first!"
"Officer Li, will you participate?"
In the suite.
Li Shaoze stood up from the sofa. Before he could answer, Stephen put his arm around his shoulders, patted his chest and said, "Li is my best friend, he will definitely help me!"
"Then please take him to the triad boss quickly."
"If you can beat me faster, I have a reward for you..."
Isabella leaned against the large floor-to-ceiling windows, blending in with the night view of Los Angeles outside the window, creating a beautiful contrast to each other.
As long as a man sees her thin hands on her waist, he will know what kind of reward she is talking about.
"hiss."
"Another woman who covets my beauty."
Li Shaoze took a breath, turned around and patted Carter on the shoulder, trying to lead him out of the suite.
As Carter walked away, he turned around unwillingly and shouted: "Me! I want a reward too! Isabella, Miss Molina!"
Uh-huh.
After the two left and the suite was locked again, the curtains on the floor-to-ceiling windows were closed.
Isabella took out her mobile phone, made a call, and said to the FBI team members over there: "The two people have been sent away."
"yes."
"Well done."
…
Hotel elevator.
Carter arranged his clothes and said angrily: "Why doesn't Isabella give me a reward?"
"That's not fair!"
Li Shaoze rolled his eyes at him and pointed to the elevator door, hoping that he could recognize his appearance clearly.
Unfortunately, Carter did not realize the key at all. He clenched his fists and said with excitement: "I will definitely catch the triad boss."
"It's useless, we're going to Las Vegas tomorrow!"
"Why?"
Carter turned his face sideways, not expecting the plan to change so quickly. Li Shaoze chuckled and looked at him like a pig: "That Triad boss must have run away long ago if he provoked the FBI. If he hadn't run away, he would have been killed by Stephen!"
"He is also a person involved in the crime. How can he be a witness for you? If the matter was so simple, the FBI would have solved it long ago. Why is it your turn?"
"You know, he still has a whole society to support behind him! He can't betray Stephen!"
Carter sniffed, confused: "Why didn't Isabella think of this?"
"She thought of it, she just didn't tell you." Li Shaoze shrugged helplessly and did not continue the topic, for fear that Chief Carter's young mind would not be able to bear too much damage.
"Stupid woman!"
"Let's go to Las Vegas!"
When Carter stepped out of the elevator, he turned his head and spat into the trash can. Judging from his cynical look, he probably wanted to understand something.
According to the information obtained by Li Shaoze on Hong Kong Island, Tan Liji built a new casino in Las Vegas...
No matter how you look at it, you think casinos are very suitable for distributing counterfeit money.
Whether it is Tan Liji who faked his death or the real boss Stephen, I believe they all understand the role of the casino.
The remaining 900 million counterfeit banknotes are most likely distributed through this fake casino.
As expected, the next batch of counterfeit banknotes, as well as Tan Liji, Hu Li, and Stephen will all arrive in Las Vegas for processing.
Maybe, the final battle will take place in the casino.
Li Shaoze is waiting in Los Angeles, so he might as well go to Las Vegas and wait.
