Shakira refused to admit defeat, but she had to admit that what Luke said made sense.

A living taxpayer is worth more than a dead person.

"OK, let's talk about the kidnapping of Eucalyptus. I also want to know the current situation of Amy Ma."

Naturally, Luke would not tell her everything. He gave a brief introduction, "This morning, we received a call and there was a robbery in the Kalaya community.

We rushed to the scene to investigate and found that the case might not just be a robbery, but a kidnapping.

Amy Ma worked as a nanny for that family and was probably one of the victims."

Xiao Hei added, "The daughter of that family was also kidnapped. She was only twelve years old."

Shakira thought for a while, "I can tell you the clues I found to help you rescue the victim as soon as possible. However, if you find clues about Amy Ma's tax evasion, I hope you can tell me."

"Deal." Luke had nothing to lose.

He is only responsible for rescuing the kidnapped person. If the kidnapped person evades taxes, he will naturally be punished accordingly.

Shakira collected her thoughts and said, "Some time ago, we noticed that Amy Ma's consumption was significantly different from her own income, and we suspected that she might be evading taxes.

We conducted a detailed investigation on her and found that she spent up to 100,000 US dollars on luxury goods every year, while her tax income was only more than 60,000 US dollars.

This shows that she may have other illegal tax avoidance income.

This is also the reason why we came to investigate this time.”

This fact confirms Luke's previous guess that Amy Ma's income cannot support her consumption, indicating that she has other sources of income.

Since she is being targeted by the National Taxation Bureau, it means that her source of income is not legal.

And illegal income can easily lead to disputes and revenge.

Luke asked, "Where do you think her illegal income comes from?"

Shakira said, "We checked her tax status in the past three years and found that her tax income before September 2020 was as high as hundreds of thousands of dollars, which is completely consistent with her spending power.

At that time, in addition to her income as a nanny, her other income came from a confinement center - Meicong Confinement Center.

Later, the confinement center went bankrupt, and her tax income dropped sharply.

But consumption has not decreased, and there must be something wrong with it.

But that confinement center is no longer there, so it’s difficult to find out the specific situation.”

Confinement is a habit unique to Chinese people, so most confinement centers are also for Chinese people.

In 1868, the United States passed a constitution that stipulated that all Americans born or naturalized in the United States were citizens of the United States and the state where they lived. After that, mothers from all over the world showed their magical powers and went to the United States to give birth to children.

Of course, smart Chinese people are also indispensable. Many pregnant women secretly go to the United States to give birth and live in confinement centers, which has formed a huge industrial chain.

Confinement centers are not illegal in the United States. To be precise, they fall into a "grey area."

Because any business project in the United States requires a license, but Americans do not have the habit and culture of confinement, so there is no corresponding channel to apply for a business license.

The United States does not strictly regulate the issue of giving birth in the United States, and usually turns a blind eye. However, many confinement center owners evade taxes, cheat on subsistence allowances, defraud benefits, and default on hospital debts.

Once a report is received, the Immigration Bureau, Taxation Bureau, and Fire Department will collectively launch a surprise inspection, even alerting the Department of Homeland Security.

Luke got all the information about Meicong Confinement Center from Shakira, but the actual content was not much.

There are almost no real-name systems in confinement centers. They move from place to place and move frequently. Unless there is a raid, there will be very few clues that can be found after the incident.

After exchanging contact information, the two parties left Amy Ma's house together.

Xiao Hei watched Shakira get into the car, stood there and giggled, waving.

It wasn't until the IRS car was far away that he returned to the cab and said nonchalantly, "What do you think of her?"

"what you mean?"

"Do you think we're a good fit?"

Luke smiled, "She didn't even look at you just now."

"So what? It doesn't mean that she is not interested in me. The more some people like someone, the less they dare to communicate with them."

"Good, just think she likes you." Luke yawned, "Drive, take me home, I'm almost exhausted."

While driving, Xiao Hei muttered, "Man, this is fate. I feel like my new fate has arrived."

Luke "..."

…

The next morning.

Luke came to the police detective station and began to investigate the situation at the Meicong Confinement Center.

The owner of the confinement center is Chen Haiming, who immigrated to the United States in 12 years.

The mobile phone number has been lost.

It takes some effort to find him.

Judging from Luke's experience, this clue is relatively important.

Luke is going to let Matthew search the Internet for clues.

However, at this moment, Susan walked in and said, "Everyone, good news.

The threatening letter sent to Vice Mayor Li Mei was encrypted using hacking technology to conceal the true IP address.

After processing by the technical department, the real IP address has been found.

The person who sent the threatening letter is probably the same group of people who kidnapped Betty and Amy Ma.

Get ready and leave in five minutes."

“Yes,.“

…

Half an hour later, Bikla community.

The car stopped near the community and did not enter the community directly.

The reason for this was that they were worried about disturbing the kidnappers and causing harm to the two kidnapped persons.

Susan called everyone together to discuss the plan for arrest.

She laid a drawing on the table, "The owner of the IP is named Caesar Gajeel.

This is the floor plan of their home.

It is understood that Caesar and his wife should be at home now.

In addition, Nishizawa Gergier runs a construction company, and Vice Mayor Li Mei is in charge of public construction. There is a certain overlap between the two in their work.

If this couple is the kidnapper, then the two victims are likely to be hiding in their home, and we must implement the arrest plan while ensuring the safety of the two victims."

The deputy said, "This is a mid-range community with a good environment and police force. From my experience, suspects generally do not hide their victims in this kind of community."

Xiaohei disagreed with this, "Deputy team, did you forget that in the Taser robbery case, wasn't the female victim Alyssa hidden in the basement of her home by the lawyer who peed her pants?"

"I'm too lazy to argue with you. I'm just saying based on my experience, not saying it must be the case."

Susan interrupted the two of them, "Deputy Luke, what do you think?"

Luke thought for a while, "Although they just sent threatening letters, they may not necessarily be kidnappers, but they do need to be prepared for the worst.

I think it is best to lead them out of the house, which not only ensures the safety of the victim, but also reduces the risk of injury to the police officers.

As long as they are under the police's nose, everything will be easy."

Susan agreed with Luke's suggestion, and then everyone discussed the specific implementation details.

…

In the Bikra community, Nishizawa's house.

There is a black Volvo in front of Nishizawa's garage.

Not far away there were two half-year-old boys playing football.

They were having so much fun that one of the children accidentally kicked the ball towards Nishizawa's house and hit the car glass.

The car alarm was set off.

The two boys seemed frightened and did not dare to go into the yard to get the ball.

At this time, the door of Nishizawa's house opened and a white man came out.

It is the male head of this family, Nishizawa Gedir.

When he saw the football next to the car and the mark on the car glass, he became furious and shouted, "Which kid has done something good? Stand up for me? Did you learn football from your grandma?"

Two little boys, you look at me and I look at you.

One of the taller boys grabbed the ball and ran away, followed by the other boy.

"Fuck! You two brats, don't run away and tell me clearly."

As if she heard her husband's cry, Mrs. Gergier came out and advised, "Forget it, we are all neighbors, there is no need to make it too ugly."
