Blackstone Code

Placed in front of Mr. Fox Sr. were several personal documents with photos on them, which contained some proof of their borrowing from Mr. Fox Sr.'s financial company. There were also some bank transfers or check stubs attached to prove that they had transferred the money. Gave it back to old Mr. Fox.

Seeing old Mr. Fox remain silent, Green-skinned Face didn't care much about his confrontational attitude.

From the establishment of the armed tax collection team to the Federal Tax Service to the present moment, too many challengers have appeared in front of them. History tells everyone that in the end they survived, and those who tried to challenge the Federal Tax Service , has completely disappeared in the long river of history.

Old Mr. Fox is not the first, nor is he the last. They have very rich experience and means to deal with these people.

"According to the Charter, every citizen of the Commonwealth must pay taxes. Mr. Fox, have you paid your taxes?"

If he was asking about it now, Mr. Fox would naturally nod and say that he had paid it. Fox Pictures had no problem with taxes at all. After all, it was a legitimate business.

And from the moment he came into contact with Lynch, he noticed that Lynch had a terrible obsession with bills. Even if it was just a small change in money, he would leave various bills or signatures.

This also allowed Fox Studios, which had no intention of paying taxes in full at the beginning, to pay taxes on time. However, they found an accountant to avoid some unnecessary taxes that could be avoided.

But before that, when he was a loan shark, he didn't pay taxes.

This in itself is an illegal business. He cannot prove that his income is legal, he cannot register a company, and he cannot obtain a tax number. Even if he wants to pay taxes, he cannot.

This is as incredible and abnormal as a person who robbed a bank turns around and goes to the tax bureau to declare his income from bank robbery. These are precisely the reasons why he is here today.

Old Mr. Fox lowered his head, smoothed his hair with one hand, and then rubbed his face with both hands, still saying nothing.

There was a proud smile on the green-skinned face. Sometimes people wanted the person being interrogated to speak, and sometimes they wanted the person to keep his mouth shut.

"We have collected a lot of evidence like this..." He gathered the documents on the table back into the portfolio. "If you have read the federal charter, you will understand that no matter what you do, legal or illegal Legally, as long as your actions generate income and the income exceeds the standards we impose, you must pay taxes."

"Whether your money comes from robbery, fraud, theft, or... loan sharking, you have to pay taxes."

"It is the duty of every citizen to pay taxes, just as it is the job of the police to catch criminals."

"I don't know why the police didn't arrest you, why the Bureau of Investigation didn't arrest you, but you have to pay taxes. Do you admit that you evaded taxes?"

"Mr. Fox?"

Old Mr. Fox still didn't say a word. According to some movie scripts, he should ask for a lawyer now, but he didn't do that because even if the lawyer came, it would be of no help.

Lawyers are unwilling to offend the tax department. Being targeted by this department will be very miserable. After the lawyer comes, they can at most win some sympathy points for him during sentencing. That is all. Nothing else can be changed.

Once the fact of tax evasion is established, it is a felony in the federal government!

His continued silence caused Green Skinned Face some displeasure. At this time, he should answer instead of continuing to remain silent.

The corners of the green-skinned face curled up, and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared and was almost invisible. He changed to a rigid and serious face, "Don't try to use silence to fight us. Let me tell you this, the evidence we have now is enough. You’ll never get out.”

"At the same time, you will also face a huge fine. Maybe the police or the Bureau of Investigation will also investigate your past crimes. Maybe your son will also be implicated."

Old Mr. Fox suddenly raised his head and looked at the green-skinned face in front of him, as if he was looking for something.

About ten seconds later, he suddenly spoke and asked a question, "Do you want me to do something?"

The green-skinned face nodded slightly. He crossed his legs and took out a delicate cigarette case and a loud lighter from his pocket. After a charming "ding" sound, there was a faint smell of cigarette smoke in the room.

"You are very smart, Mr. Fox. We do need your help with something."

Old Mr. Fox could detect this because the green-skinned face in front of him had been threatening him, threatening him with tax evasion and prison terms.

If the target of the tax bureau was really him, the other side could have simply taken him to court and thrown him into jail without telling him this.

There was a reason for talking so much nonsense to him, and the reason was the word "assistance", and it also made him realize that he was probably not their target.

The green-skinned man pursed his lips, "We need you to testify against Lynch."

"We noticed before that Lynch helped you turn some illegal income into legal income, and then successfully paid the taxes. You only need to testify in court about what Lynch did and tell the judge that you laundered your money through Lynch. Just how much illegal income you can get.”

"We will turn you into a taint witness, plead your case for a fine and downplay all of your previous criminal behavior."

"On the one hand, you won't be able to get out for the rest of your life, and on the other hand, you will be stuck in three to five years. A normal person should know how to choose, what do you think?"

Although Old Mr. Fox was surprised in his heart, he did not show it on his face. He shook his head, "I don't know what you are talking about. Mr. Lynch and I have never done the things you said."

The green-skinned man stood up with a smile. He took the file and walked to the door. "You have all the time, Mr. Fox. You can think slowly, but I still have to advise you to give up some unrealistic ideas, which will be harmful to our health." The case is not helpful.”

"see you later!"

As soon as he came out of the interrogation room, another guy who looked very imposing came over to him, "What did he say?"

The guy who spoke is the assistant director of the state tax bureau. According to the specifications of the tax bureau, he is considered a half-full director and has a higher status than the deputy director. Sometimes when the director is away, he will be responsible for handling things that only the director has the authority to handle. work.

Of course, this is only done after he has contacted the director. This is a process issue.

The green-skinned man nodded, "Our evidence is very conclusive. Fox cannot escape, but I think it is unlikely that he will confess to Lynch's important role."

The two of them walked towards the bungalow opposite the parking lot while talking.

"Not confessing to Lynch?" The assistant director frowned, "Then this will be difficult to handle."

The investigation against Lynch did not actually start here. The Sabine City Tax Bureau had already noticed these people when it investigated the money laundering case of Fox and Lynch.

Their money laundering methods were somewhat unexpected. They did not have any high-tech or profitable methods and ideas. They were simple and easy to use, so that people all over the state and even the country began to use this method to launder money.

In addition, the Sabine City Tax Bureau had lost face, so the Joint Investigation Bureau of the state office conducted an investigation into the relevant people. However, a lot of things happened later due to a series of coincidental reasons, so that the investigation was forced to be suspended. Mainly because Lynch picked himself out and returned it to the tax office steps.

At that time, the whole case had a great impact on society. There were a lot of protests and complaints against the violent law enforcement of the tax bureau every year. Once a nationwide demonstration was triggered, the people from the tax department in York State would fall again. A big piece.

In order to stop the spread of this momentum, the two parties used Michael's imprisonment as an opportunity for reconciliation and ended the confrontation.

The confrontation is over, but that doesn't mean the investigation is over. They continue to collect evidence and are ready to deal with Lynch elsewhere at any time.

But later, Lynch came into contact with the president and other high-level officials in the country, and quickly became rich. The tax bureau's idea of ​​quietly solving Lynch in private failed, and they sealed the file until a few days ago.

A few days ago, a well-known big shot contacted the director of the York State Taxation Bureau through certain channels, hoping that he could investigate Lynch. It would be better if he could bring Lynch down.

Big men have great energy, and so does Lynch, so the final result of this incident was that the director went to the General Bureau to "study", and the assistant director was fully responsible for the subsequent investigation.

Before leaving, the director gave the assistant director enough power. In addition to the previous incidents, Lynch made the tax bureau lose face. Combined with many other factors, this matter was finally facilitated.

Standing outside the office door, the assistant director patted the green-skinned face's arm, "It's okay if we don't move this time. Since we move, we must hit the vital point. Do you understand what I mean?"

The green-skinned man nodded vigorously, "I know what to do."

At noon, I don't know whether people forgot or for other reasons, no one brought old Mr. Fox any food, only a little water. He had been hungry for a long time, and his physical strength was disappearing little by little.

He took a nap in the afternoon. Sleeping could slow down physical exertion and also make him feel less hungry.

In his daze, he had a wry smile on his face. This might be the first time in his adult life that he had been hungry for so long...

Sure enough, it feels the same as when I was a child, and it is unforgettable.

…

He didn't know how long he had slept, but the sudden sound of the door opening woke old Mr. Fox. He opened his eyes and looked at the surrounding environment. After a brief absence, his eyes quickly fell on the person who came in.

It was Green-skinned Face, and he had a tray in his hand with some food on it, exuding a delicious smell.

"Sorry, there were too many things at noon. I forgot to remind those people to give you a lunch. It shouldn't be too late now, right?" He put the dinner plate on the table with a smile.

Some potato chips, a small bowl of mashed vegetables, some boiled chicken and a sausage. The bright color and aroma made Old Fox swallow his saliva.
