“Turpin, so it’s really him who will be the chief attorney in this hearing!”

Turpin, with a law doctorate from Harvard University and a top attorney in America, was particularly adept at legislative matters.

Throughout his career, he had participated in over 40 hearings and had yet to suffer a defeat.

David had actually anticipated yesterday, upon receiving the notice of the hearing, that it would be him, and now it indeed turned out as expected!

“His wife is Jewish, so it’s not surprising that he is coming out to preside over this hearing. But this guy can be quite difficult to handle; you from the Internal Revenue Service need to be careful!”

Listening to Elvis’s reminder, David nodded slightly and continued to review the remaining materials.

...

Aside from Elvis, the other members of the legal team for this hearing were also top attorneys in America.

The moderator of the hearing would be a Congressman named Mitchellson from the House of Congressman, accompanied by three other Congressmen and a Senator as observers.

“Giggle giggle giggle…”

While lost in thought, a knock came at the door. David gathered his thoughts and called out for the person to come in.

The visitor was Kepel, who said, “Chief Inspector, Mr. Gavin from the FBI wants to see you.”

“Inspector David, should I first—”

“No need; you can meet him too!”

David intended to support both men, so now was a good time for them to get to know each other.

“Alright…”

A couple of minutes later, Gavin walked in with a smile. When he saw Elvis sitting there, his expression changed momentarily in surprise, but he quickly regained composure and asked, “Isn’t that CIA’s Deputy Director Elvis?”

“Agent Gavin, you’ve been quite the center of attention recently.”

“My modest attention is nothing compared to yours…”

“Cough cough…”

Hearing David’s cough, Gavin suddenly came back to his senses. He hadn’t come here for small talk today, but upon seeing Elvis here, he became hesitant.

“Don’t worry, Deputy Director Elvis is one of us. How’s the investigation going on what you were asked to look into?”

Gavin glanced at Elvis and then took out a piece of paper from his pocket, placing it in front of David, and said, “I’ve got it, here’s the list.”

As he spoke, his tone carried a hint of seeking credit.

However, when he saw David open the list, compare it to another, and the amused expression on Elvis’s face, his heart skipped a beat.

It seemed that David hadn’t just asked for his help in the investigation but had also approached CIA’s intelligence chief.

And it appeared that the latter had already discovered the list and presented it earlier than him.

For a moment, Gavin felt a burn on his face.

“Hmm, the people you guys found are all the same; this confirms that these are indeed the attendees for the hearing. Gavin, you’ve done well!”

“Just a small effort.”

Despite the burning sensation on his face, Gavin still echoed back.

“There’s another matter for which I think we’ll need your help. I want you to look into…”

…

In the afternoon, a press conference was held at Congress to establish the exact time and location of tomorrow’s hearing.

However, Congress did not disclose the members who would attend the hearing.

Presumably, they were worried that the Tax Bureau would learn in advance and make strategic preparations.

But what they didn’t realize was that David had long since learned of the hearing attendees through the extensive networks of the CIA and FBI.

Regardless, confirmation that Congress would convene a hearing against the Internal Revenue Service tomorrow still ignited the expectations of the media and the public online.

Everyone looked forward to the outcome of tomorrow’s hearing.

…

In the East Area of Washington D.C., along a street,

David and his team stepped out of the car and walked across the road toward a residential house.

Upon reaching the door, they rang the doorbell.

Soon, a middle-aged woman opened the door and asked, “Who are you, and what can I do for you?”

“Internal Revenue Service. We’d like to have a word with Mr. Turpin!”

“Internal Revenue Service… please come in!”

Seeing the badge Nisen showed, the woman hesitated for a moment but then invited the four men inside.

“Turpin is in the study, I’ll call him over.”

“Thank you very much, ma’am!”

After the woman left, David took off his sunglasses.

A couple of minutes later, footsteps could be heard from upstairs as a man dressed in casual attire came down. Upon seeing David and the others in the living room, he paused on the next-to-last step.

“No need to be so nervous; come down and have a talk, Mr. Turpin!”

Hearing David’s call, Turpin finally snapped out of his reverie and walked down with a forced composure.

Once seated opposite David, he asked, “I never expected the renowned Inspector David to visit. My humble abode is honored. May I know what brings you here?”

“Mr. Turpin, if my information is correct, you’re supposed to be the chief attorney in tomorrow’s hearing, right?”

Hearing this, Turpin showed no significant outward change, but inside a storm was raging.

The names of the hearing participants hadn’t been made public; how did David know?

A fleeting thought crossed his mind as he countered, “Inspector David, may I ask where you heard this?”

“That I don’t need to tell you. You just need to answer me—yes or no!”

“Inspector David, what do you mean by this!”
