They never imagined that the action they thought was a sure thing would suddenly take a turn for the worse.
"Yes, if you two hadn't risked your lives, attracted the attention of the gunmen, and taken great risks to lock the factory managers inside, and ensured that they would not be able to destroy the criminal evidence, this incident would have happened
It definitely didn’t go that smoothly.”
Seeing that the two of them were a little confused about the situation, Sir Zhang kindly reminded them of their contribution.
"It's a pity that because this arrest operation went so smoothly, the people from the Investigation Bureau didn't notice that the woman they arrested at the door, Hu Li, was also a high-ranking member of the criminal organization."
"But don't worry, you are not to blame for this incident. After all, you were attracting the gunman's attention at the time. The guys from the Investigation Bureau are also not to blame for this incident. They did not obtain Hu Li's information before taking action."
"If I really want to blame it, it's all the fault of the rogue police officer in the Las Vegas Police Department. He knew clearly about the incident, but he didn't speak up to remind anyone at the time. It was obvious that he was deliberately shielding Hu Li."
Sir Zhang didn't give Carter and Chen Jiaju much chance to explain, and directly characterized everything.
To be honest, even he himself did not expect that this arrest mission would be carried out like this.
In fact, not all the things he said were lies.
Who has the greatest credit for this operation? Of course it is Hu Li.
But after all, Hu Li was carrying the case, so it was naturally impossible for her to really stand up and claim the credit.
In addition to Hu Li, Sir Zhang's contribution cannot be ignored, but given his current status, he doesn't think highly of anyone who has merit or not.
Besides, according to the agreement with Hu Li, there is a high probability that he can receive hundreds of millions of dollars in benefits and fees.
And because of Hu Li's status, it was difficult for Sir Zhang to share the benefits with Carter and Chen Jiaju who came to Las Vegas with him.
So Sir Zhang thought that he might as well help the two of them somewhere else.
In addition to the financial benefits, credit for solving the case is obviously a good compensation.
Then there was the scene where Chen Jiaju accidentally discovered Hu Li.
At the beginning, Sir Zhang did not expect that Chen Jiaju and Carter would be so reckless that they walked into the factory.
To be honest, during the period when they first entered, Chen Jiaju and Carter were the most dangerous.
Because neither Zhang Pin nor Hu Li was prepared for their intrusion, but the number of people inside the factory, including the staff and gunmen, exceeded fifty.
No matter how good they are at fighting, they are still mortal bodies after all. If they really get shot, they will most likely lose their lives.
But at this time, neither Sir Zhang nor Hu Li had any good solution.
Unless Sir Zhang is willing to expose his own strength and this plan, break into the factory without hesitation and start a killing spree, otherwise, Carter and Chen Jiaju will have to face these risks on their own.
At this time, Sir Zhang could only choose to believe that the two of them were talented people and were brave.
And the two of them did not disappoint him. The final result was a happy one. Chen Jiaju and Carter encountered certain dangers, but in the end they were almost safe.
With Hu Li taking action, their safety was instantly guaranteed.
Moreover, Hu Li also used the two of them to take risky actions to minimize the danger inside the factory.
Because the arrest operation went very smoothly, the Investigation Bureau subconsciously ignored the control of Hu Li who was arrested at the beginning.
In fact, it's not just Hu Li.
Because the number of people inside the factory exceeded the twenty registered at the police station.
The Investigation Bureau originally estimated that the number of people inside might be relatively large, but they only budgeted that the number of enemies they would face would be around thirty.
So their initial plan was to arrest thirty people.
When they discovered that the number of enemies in the factory exceeded the original estimate, the Bureau of Investigation was actually a little panicked at first.
But the fact made everyone happy because the investigation bureau's operation was so smooth.
It was precisely because the operation went so smoothly that no one in the factory resisted, so the people in the investigation bureau were inevitably a little careless.
Because there were not enough vehicles or control equipment, after arresting the gunmen and staff in the factory, the Bureau of Investigation was confused by the counterfeit money piled inside the factory.
In addition, these people all surrendered voluntarily, and the people from the Investigation Bureau thought that they really had no sense of resistance, so they didn't even use handcuffs on many of the people they arrested, and just prepared to take them back to the police station.
Who would have thought that on the way back to the police station, Hu Li suddenly got angry, grabbed the control of a police car, and ran away with a car full of staff.
The reason why Zhang Pin specifically said this to Chen Jiaju and Carter at this moment was actually to give a confession to them.
Anyway, according to their confessions, if there had not been an accident in which Hu Li escaped with some staff members, the investigation bureau's operation would have been absolutely perfect.
Especially because when Hu Li killed Tan Ruiqi before, she shouted that she was arranged by Stephen to kill.
So originally, if Huli was willing to cooperate, the Investigation Bureau would even be able to arrest Stephen directly.
Originally, because the operation went smoothly, the Bureau of Investigation even considered following the clues and directly launching an operation against Caesars Palace Casino.
However, due to Hu Li's sudden escape in the end and the lack of preparation by the Bureau of Investigation, they ultimately had no choice but to postpone the action against Caesar's Palace and choose to digest the gains from the factory first.
Even because of the escape of Hu Li and others, this operation of the Investigation Bureau can be regarded as a good harvest.
They found nearly one billion dollars in counterfeit money inside the factory.
Moreover, thirty or forty gunmen and staff were arrested at once. Even if these people were not the core members of the criminal gang, they were still considered an important achievement for the Investigation Bureau.
If it weren't for the failure to find the machines and electrical boards for making counterfeit banknotes, the director of the Bureau of Investigation's Las Vegas branch would have been ready to announce that he had wiped out a criminal group.
What the other party said was really not bragging.
Criminals are different from ordinary enterprises. Due to high risks and insufficient security guarantees, except for special triad organizations, other criminal organizations generally do not have too many personnel.
In fact, the real core members of a criminal organization like the Counterfeit Banknote Group generally do not exceed ten people, and it is not surprising that in many cases there may be only one or two.
In fact, in the eyes of the police, these people are not even considered a criminal organization.
Because there are so few people, there won't be any trouble at all.
Be it the police or the Bureau of Investigation, they actually pay more attention to lower-level criminals.
For example, there are a few guys who produce counterfeit banknotes. As long as they don't let the counterfeit banknotes flow into the market, the police and the Bureau of Investigation will not bother to deal with them.
And because of their small number of people, they simply don't have the ability to digest too many counterfeit banknotes.
Even if they do use counterfeit money, the police and the Bureau of Investigation can easily find them.
At this time, if counterfeit banknotes are to be circulated on a large scale, next-level organizations are needed.
This is why those who make counterfeit money choose to cooperate with other criminal organizations.
Because only other criminal organizations have the ability to circulate counterfeit banknotes on a large scale without being held accountable.
Just like this time, after taking down the company responsible for aging counterfeit banknotes and connecting with Caesars Palace, a factory that can consume counterfeit banknotes on a large scale, although the counterfeit banknote group behind it has not been wiped out, they will not be able to get up in a short time.
.
The first is that they need to avoid the limelight and avoid being followed by the Bureau of Investigation.
The second is that they must find a suitable place to make old and counterfeit banknotes, recruit enough reliable manpower, and find a reliable enough place that can circulate counterfeit banknotes on a large scale.
In fact, when criminals get through these links again, they can be regarded as another criminal organization.
For the Bureau of Investigation, after interrupting the factory this time, they will be able to follow the clues and arrest some more criminals based on the interrogation confessions.
By then, even if real high-level officials like Hu Li or even Stephen were not caught, the criminal organization had been wiped out by them.
Not to mention that the Investigation Bureau had actually arranged Isabella as an undercover agent next to Stephen.
So it is conceivable that there is a high probability that Stephen will not be able to escape.
As long as Stephen, the mastermind behind the scenes, can be dealt with, Hu Li will become dispensable.
Because they knew that the credit was great this time, the people at the Las Vegas branch of the Bureau of Investigation were naturally very friendly towards Sir Zhang, the provider of the information.
The Bureau of Investigation did not hesitate at all regarding his proposal to give Carter and Chen Jiaju a portion of the credit.
But except for Chen Jiaju and Carter, others were not so lucky.
For example, when the Bureau of Investigation came to visit with evidence of the other party's crime at first, and had to cooperate with them to deceive the factory guard, the Bureau of Investigation not only gave all the evidence of his crime to Las Vegas after the investigation was over.
Gas police team, and also put the responsibility of Hu Li's escape on the other side.
The investigation bureau accused the criminal police officer of deliberately not revealing Hu Li's identity, which made them careless, allowing Hu Li to find an opportunity to escape.
Of course, this matter cannot actually be regarded as slander.
After all, if the criminal policeman really revealed Hu Li's true identity as soon as he took control of her, the investigation bureau would indeed pay more attention to Hu Li, and maybe even put her in solitary confinement.
In this case, Hu Li might not be able to find a chance to escape for a while.
Therefore, the Bureau of Investigation deliberately did not disclose Hu Li's identity as a criminal police officer, so that the people in the Bureau of Investigation could regard her as an ordinary woman.
They didn't even search Hu Li's body or handcuff her to restrict her movements. They locked her in a car with some workers who didn't seem to be a threat and prepared to take her back to the police station.
As a result, Hu Li took out a pistol from her body on the way, pointed it at the driver's head and asked him to drive away from the large group of people, and then escaped without anyone noticing and sued the other party.
Faced with this prosecution, the criminal police officers were actually very aggrieved.
He told the factory security at the door that he had no knowledge, which was of course a lie.
He knew the details of this factory were dirty.
In fact, the main reason why the gunmen inside the factory were easily fooled by Hu Li into putting down their weapons with a few words after shooting this time, and gathered together to watch a show without any sense of crisis at all, is that,
This isn't the first time this has happened.
You know, if there is any difference between the U.S. dollars produced by Tan Rich and Stephen Cooperation and the U.S. dollars produced by the Federal Reserve, it means that everyone is different.
So to ordinary people, these money are said to be counterfeit, but in fact they are no different from real U.S. dollars.
If ordinary people get this money, they can spend it normally. As long as the amount is not too large and attracts the attention of relevant departments, there is no need to worry about safety issues.
Even if the money has actually been circulating in the market for some time, it has naturally attracted the attention of some interested people.
However, because no problem was detected through various means, there has never been a major problem.
In this case, there are more than fifty people working inside the factory, including security guards. Naturally, not everyone can control themselves.
In fact, when the factory was first established here, there were many incidents where workers or security guards secretly tried to steal counterfeit money inside the factory.
The person responsible for handling such matters at that time was Tan Ruiqi.
Every time he finds out about something like this, he will ruthlessly enforce family laws against the offenders.
As a result, deaths often occur within the factory, and these desperate staff and security guards will not sit still and wait for death. Shootouts and other incidents often occur.
Therefore, both the police in the area and people inside the factory are accustomed to gunfights.
Because more people died, the security checks and defenses inside the factory became stronger and stronger, and the number of counterfeit currency thefts began to decrease.
Yes, just to reduce the number, it is obviously impossible to truly eliminate this kind of thing.
It is precisely because of this that when Carter and Chen Jiaju sneaked in and observed the two men with counterfeit money, the porter's first reaction was not to question their identities, but to remind them not to violate the rules of stealing counterfeit money to spend.
Also because of the frequent gunfights, Tan Ruiqi also spent a lot of money to build relationships with the police stations within his jurisdiction.
Every time there was a shootout, because the incident did not involve anything other than the factory, and the dead people never caused any disturbance in Las Vegas, the police department turned a blind eye.
But if we really say that this criminal policeman fully understands the internal activities of the factory, this is indeed a bit unfair to him.
No matter how generous Tan Ruiqi and others are, they can't tell others that they are making old and counterfeit money here.
If he really wanted the police station to know about this, the price the other party wanted would definitely not be this amount.
So they used the business within the triad organization to fool the police.
The police in Las Vegas knew that this place was the home of a criminal organization, and shootouts occurred here from time to time. They had guessed that there might be some shady business going on here, but they really didn't know that this place was where counterfeit money was being made.
Of course, it's too late to say these things now.
As the Bureau of Investigation uncovers all this, the criminal police force in Las Vegas will also usher in a purge.
This actually has a big impact on Sir Zhang.
Because as problems arise on the Las Vegas police side, Long Wu at Caesars Palace will also be unable to sit still.
