Chapter 843： The story behind the case

 Chapter 843 The story behind the case-Part 1

Eight o'clock in the evening, Columbia City, FBI branch building, an interrogation room.

 “Herman has explained everything, how do you choose?”

Hearing Luo An’s question and remembering the scene in which Lawyer Ilhan was taken away just now, Vassell Vinny’s face changed slightly, but he quickly thought of something again and snorted coldly:

“To be honest, Team Leader Luo An, your joke is very boring.”

Luo An chuckled and shook his head slightly, patted Cheniel on the shoulder, stopped talking, and left the interrogation room directly.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　∣

The moment the door to the interrogation room was closed, Vasseur-Venni's face instantly became gloomy, and beads of sweat slowly formed on his temples.

At the same time, in the corridor outside the door of the interrogation room, Winslow and Lacey looked puzzled. Seeing Luo An and the others walking out, Lacey immediately came up and asked in a low voice:

“Luo An, what happened to those two IRS-CI agents just now?”

“Both detectives said there were financial issues with lawyer Ilhan.”

Luo An smiled, but Lacey was still full of doubts. At this moment, Mona walked over from the office area, thrust a folder into Lacey, and said with a smile:

“Luo An asked me to investigate Lawyer Ilhan’s interpersonal relationships before, and I found some clues.”

  Lacie opened the folder and found that Lawyer Ilhan's interpersonal relationships were very complicated. Ordinary people, company bosses, and criminals of all kinds... all had his friends.

Lawyer Ilhan also knows many people in the business and political circles. The difference is that most of his friends in the business and political circles are people from the upper middle class and below the rich level.

“These people’s status is not low, but they are still far from the top bosses.”

 Michelle also came over at this time, and she explained seriously:

“Under normal circumstances, Lawyer Ilhan has such a wide network of contacts. If he meets friends again through friends and works hard to cater for a few years, he should be able to reach a higher level soon.

But Lawyer Ilhan has none of it. He has never expanded his network in the past ten years. This is not consistent with common sense at all. "

Winslow's eyes moved slightly. He suddenly remembered a case he had experienced several years ago, so he guessed in a low voice:

“There is someone behind Lawyer Ilhan, is this guy a white glove?”

“It should be said that he is the guy responsible for cleaning the gloves and improving the life cycle of the gloves.”

Luo An took the folder in Lacey's hand, turned to the last page and found a circled name, and said:

“Harrison Hamid, an ordinary billionaire.

 After cross-reference, it was found that he had no direct connection with Lawyer Ilhan, but as long as he took a few detours, every time Lawyer Ilhan took over the case, he would always be more or less connected to him.

The same goes for this guy Vassell Vinny. "

"What?"

 Lacie was a little surprised:

 “Wasser Vinny is a bank robber, how can he be associated with a billionaire?”

 “It’s really good.”

 Michelle found another folder and handed it to Lacey, whispering:

“The bank robberies in Georgia happened at different banks.

But if you compare the accounts of these banks, you will find that these banks are related to the private equity funds of certain subsidiaries under Harrison Hamid, a certain parent company. "

"Forehead…"

Lacie frowned. She felt that Michelle's words were a bit convoluted. She thought carefully for a few seconds before clarifying her thoughts, and then said in surprise:

“Are you saying that the reason why Vassell Vinny robbed the bank was actually to help Harrison Hamid, a billionaire, clean up his accounts?”

 Michelle looked at Luo An, who shook his head slightly:

“It is unlikely that the accounts will be settled, there should be other stories behind it.”

 Lacie was stunned for a moment:

"what story?"

 Luo An spread his hands:

“I don’t know.” Lacey’s head was suddenly filled with black lines. Luo An chuckled, put the folder back into her hand, and said:

“Because I didn’t know, I called IRS-CI.”

IRS-CI, the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Division, has the highest priority among law enforcement agencies across the federal government.

 Wasser Vinny is a bank robber who is connected to the rich man Harrison Hamid. It sounds like the things behind him are complicated and difficult to investigate.

In this case, it is better to contact IRS-CI (Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Division) directly. They are not interested in the case itself, but the money in the case is very worthy of their attention.

IRS-CI has the power to arrest people first and provide evidence later. Even if Harrison Hamid is a rich man, he cannot resist the opponent openly.

“There’s no need for Vassell Vinny to rush here. Once the results of the investigation from Lawyer Ilhan come out, he can solve the problem smoothly here.”

Facing the tough-minded Vassell Vinny, Luo An decisively chose to go off-site and activated the secret skills of human connections and asked IRS-CI supervisor Elmer for help.

 Supervisor Elmer was also very happy about this. There is no doubt that Luo An gave him another big achievement.

Lacie's mouth twitched. Vassell Vinny in the interrogation room clearly knew nothing, but still felt that I had the advantage. In fact, Luo An had already arranged everything...

After a moment of silence, Lacey then asked:

 “So, what do we do next?”

“Next, let’s go talk to Herman.”

Luo An stretched his waist and said with a faint smile:

“He hasn’t been soaked in sea water for long, and his brain should not be damaged yet, so he can distinguish between good and bad, pros and cons.”

　　——

  “I say, I say everything.”

Five minutes later, in another interrogation room, Luo An and Cheniel had just sorted out the documents. Before they could raise their heads to ask, Herman said with a serious face and very proactively:

“The guy with the gold teeth in his mouth was killed by Vassell Vinny.”

Chenelle was stunned by Herman's cooperative attitude. Luo An laughed, reached out and poured Herman a cup of coffee, and then asked:

“What happened to that fire?”

Herman paused while taking the coffee and was silent for a few seconds. He took a sip of coffee and said:

 “I started that fire.”

Herman said the fire was a last resort.

Before the fire ignited, Herman and several of his men had been living a boring life in a warehouse on the outskirts of Atlanta, eating, drinking, relaxing, and printing several large cardboard boxes of counterfeit money every day.

 “Susan is my… um, friend.”

Facing Cheniel’s somewhat contemptuous look, Herman smiled awkwardly and then said:

“More than a month before the fire, when Susan went out to buy food, two drunk guys came up to make trouble.”

The drunk guys mentioned by Herman were exactly two people in the treasure hunting team.

Herman happened to go out with Susan to buy food that day. When he saw this situation, he immediately stepped forward to stop the situation. The two drunkards got angry and started to fight, and Herman fought with the two of them.

 In the middle of the fight, someone came out to start a fight. The other person was the alcoholic boss named Benson.

Compared to the two drunkards, Benson had a much better attitude. He apologized a few times and led the people away. Herman was taken back to the warehouse by Susan. When he was packing his things, he suddenly discovered that the fake goods he used to show to customers when doing business. The money was actually lost.

Herman immediately realized that the counterfeit banknotes might have been taken away by Benson and others, and hurriedly drove back to the location where they were fighting, only to find that Benson and others had already left, and Herman could not find them at all.

Herman planned to lead everyone to evacuate the warehouse, but Susan and others refused because the equipment was very large and difficult to move. It would be very troublesome and time-consuming to restart work in a new place.

 “I should have taken them away by force.”

Herman smiled bitterly:

“If quality control is not strict, something will happen. This saying is indeed true.”
