FBI detective

Chapter 843 The Story Behind the Case - Part

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

"Herman has told you everything. What is your choice?"

Hearing Luo An's question and thinking of the scene where Lawyer Ilhan was taken away just now, Vasel Vinny's face changed slightly, but he soon thought of something else and snorted coldly and said:
"To be honest, Team Leader Luo An, your joke is very boring."

Luo An smiled and shook his head slightly, patted Chenil's shoulder, stopped talking, and left the interrogation room directly.

bang——

The moment the door of the interrogation room was closed, Vassel Vinny's expression suddenly became uncertain, and beads of sweat slowly appeared on his temples.

At the same time, in the corridor outside the interrogation room, Winslow and Lacey were puzzled. When they saw Luo An and the other two walking out, Lacey immediately came up and asked in a low voice:

"Roan, what happened to those two IRS-CI agents just now?"

"Both agents said that the Ilhan lawyer had financial problems."

Luo An smiled, but Lacey was still puzzled. At this moment, Mona came over from the office area, handed a folder to Lacey, and said with a smile:
"Luo An asked me to investigate Lawyer Ilhan's interpersonal relationships before, and I found some clues."

Lacey opened the folder and found that Lawyer Ilhan had very complicated interpersonal relationships. Ordinary people, company bosses, various criminals... all of them were 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 from the middle class to the upper middle class and not yet wealthy.

"The status of these people is not low, but they are still a long way from being the top bosses."

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

“Normally, with such a wide network of contacts, Lawyer Ilhan should be able to move to a higher level soon after he makes efforts to move up through friends and work hard for a few years.

But attorney Ilhan did not do that at all. In the past ten years, he has never expanded his network upwards, which is totally unreasonable.”

Winslow's eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly remembered a case he had experienced several years ago, so he guessed in a low voice:
“There’s someone behind Lawyer Ilhan. Is this guy a white glove?”

"It should be said that he is the guy who is responsible for cleaning the gloves and extending their life cycle."

Luo An took the folder from Lacey, turned to the last page and found a circled name, and said:
"Harrison Hamid, an ordinary billionaire.

After cross-comparison, it was found that there was no direct connection between him and Lawyer Ilhan, but if you take a few detours, you will find that every case that Lawyer Ilhan took over was always more or less related to him.

Same thing with this guy, Vassell Vinny.”

"what?"

Lacey was a little surprised:

"Vassell Vinny is a bank robber, how can he be associated with a billionaire?"

“It really can.”

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

“Those bank robberies in Georgia, they happened at different banks.

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

"Forehead……"

Lacey frowned, she felt that Michelle's words were a bit confusing, she thought carefully for a few seconds before sorting out her thoughts, and then said in surprise:
"You mean, Vasel Vinny robbed the bank to help billionaire Harrison Hamid settle his accounts?"

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

"It is unlikely that the accounts will be settled. There must be other stories behind it."

Lacey was stunned for a moment:
"what story?"

Luo An spread his hands:
"I don't know." Lacey was immediately frowning. Luo An laughed, stuffed the folder back into her hands, and said:
"That's why I called IRS-CI because I didn't know."

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

Vassel Vinny is a bank robber who is connected to the wealthy Harrison Hamid. It sounds like the story behind it is complicated and difficult to investigate.

In this case, it is better to contact IRS-CI (Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation) 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 wealthy man, he cannot resist the other party openly.

"There's no need to rush here with Vasel Vinny. Just wait for the results of the investigation by Lawyer Ilhan to come out, and then he can handle it."

Faced with Vasser Vinny who was unmoved by any persuasion, Roan decisively chose to go off the field and use his secret networking skills to seek help from Elmer, the supervisor of IRS-CI.

Manager Elmer was also very happy about this. There was no doubt that Luo An had given him another big achievement.

Lacey's mouth twitched. Vasell Vinny in the interrogation room clearly knew nothing, but he still felt that he had the upper hand. In fact, he had been neatly arranged by Luo An...

After a brief silence, Lacey asked:

"So, what do we do next?"

"Next, let's go talk to Herman."

Luo An stretched himself lazily and said with a faint smile:
"He hasn't been in the sea water for a long time, so his brain shouldn't be damaged. He can distinguish between good and bad, advantages and disadvantages."

----

"I said it, I said it all."

Five minutes later, in another interrogation room, Roan and Chenier had just finished sorting 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."

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

"What happened to that fire?"

Herman paused for a few seconds, took a sip of coffee, and said:
"I was the one who started the fire."

Herman said the fire was something he had no choice but to start.

Before the fire broke out, Herman and several of his men had been living in a warehouse in the suburbs of Atlanta, leading a peaceful life, eating and drinking to relax, and printing several large cardboard boxes of counterfeit money every day.

"Susan is my... uh, friend."

Facing Chenier's slightly contemptuous look, Herman smiled awkwardly and continued:

"More than a month before the fire, Susan was out buying food when two drunk guys came up to her and started a fight."

The drunk guys Herman mentioned were exactly two members of the treasure hunting team.

Hermann happened to be out buying food with Susan that day. When he saw this, he immediately stepped forward to stop them. The two drunkards became angry and started fighting, and Hermann started fighting with them.

Halfway through the fight, someone came out to stop the fight. The other person was the drunkard's boss, named Benson.

Compared to the two drunkards, Benson's attitude was much better. He apologized a few times and left. Herman was taken back to the warehouse by Susan. When he was packing up, he suddenly found that the counterfeit money he used to show to customers when doing business was lost.

Herman immediately realized that the counterfeit money might have been taken away by Benson and others, so he drove back to the place where they had fought, but found that Benson and others had already left and Herman could not find them at all.

Hermann planned to lead everyone to evacuate the warehouse, but was rejected by Susan and others because the equipment was large and difficult to move. It would be very troublesome and time-consuming to move to a new location and start work again.

"I should have taken them away by force."

Hermann smiled bitterly:
"If quality control is not strict, there will be trouble. This sentence is indeed true."
