In this battle, Luke was somewhat defeated.

But what the police pays attention to is teamwork, using more people to attack less people, and it is good if they can safely catch the suspect.

Luke did it.

Amir Khan had an injury on his chest. Luke didn't dare to touch him easily, so he let him lie flat on the ground and called 911 immediately.

Subsequently, NYPD, FBI and ambulances rushed to the scene one after another.

Michael Jeter looked at Amir Khan lying on the ground and asked with concern, "Amir, are you okay?"

"It's not very good. I was almost killed by this guy. It was the first time in my life that I was so close to death.

It was Consultant Li who saved me."

Michael Jeter looked at Mo Shaoxiong who was sitting on the ground. There were many bruises on his face and forehead. "It seems that the arrest process was somewhat tortuous."

"Yes, this is a cruel person." Luke briefly introduced the situation.

Although Michael Jeter was not present at the scene, he could still feel Mo Shaoxiong's ruthlessness. He rushed to Amir Khan even if he was shot, but Amir Khan's fighting ability was almost zero, and a single confrontation might kill him.

Will be subdued by Mo Shaoxiong. Once Amir Khan is subdued by Mo Shaoxiong, he will probably take Amir Khan hostage and escape.

Amir Khan was carried on a stretcher and said, "I have said before that Mo Shaoxiong is a very well-planned person and he has already chosen his escape route.

The subway has a large flow of people, making it difficult to arrest and use firearms. In addition, Mo Shaoxiong is a black market boxing champion with extremely strong personal fitness and fighting ability.

The probability of him escaping is extremely high."

Michael Jeter patted him on the shoulder and said, "OK, we will continue to investigate the case. You can recover well."

"Wow...can you let go? It hurts me." Amir Khan screamed, grinning in pain.

"Sorry." Michael Jeter let go, you sissy.

When Amir Khan was carried into the ambulance, he said to Luke, "Consultant Li, thank you for saving me.

I'll treat you to a drink while I recover from my injuries."

"OK, just rest and recover." Luke said perfunctorily. By the time you recover, I will have returned to Los Angeles.

Michael Jeter walked to Mo Shaoxiong's stretcher again and said, "Hey, man, take good care of yourself and we'll see you tomorrow."

Mo Shaoxiong raised his right hand and gestured with his middle finger.

Michael Jeter patted his left shoulder and said, "You're such a polite bastard."

Mo Shaoxiong's shoulder oozed blood again, and he grinned in pain and broke into a cold sweat.

Michael Jeter watched Mo Shaoxiong get into the car and walked to Luke's side, "Consultant Li, are you not injured?"

"No." Luke asked, "Have you found any evidence to convict Mo Shaoxiong?"

"He attacked the police."

Luke said, "You know this is not the same thing, you have to hurry up."

Of course Michael Jeter knew, and he was also worried about this matter, "What can you do?"

Luke glanced at his watch and said, "I'm getting off work. I don't get overtime pay.

This case still depends on you."

Michael Jeter looked at Luke's back, "How about I buy you a drink?"

"Let's settle the case first." Luke is just a consultant, so why bother with the captain's heart.

Michael Jeter looked at Luke's back and shouted, "Hey, do you want to go visit Mo Shaoxiong together tomorrow?"

"OK." Luke waved and left.

Luke now feels that it is good to be a consultant. He can give his own suggestions at the appropriate time and does not have to take responsibility for problems in the case.

Michael Jeter clapped his hands and said, "Guys, move quickly and clean up the scene.

Louise, go ahead and place an order, we are very busy tonight."

…

When Luke got home, Li Zhaofeng had already prepared dinner.

Steamed sole, steamed crispy pork, preserved eggs, vinegar cabbage, donkey meat sausage, and rice as the staple food.

Most men who live alone are good at cooking.

Luke took out the remaining half of the bottle of Guojiao 1573. The last time he went to Yue Lai Yue Restaurant was mainly to find his cousin, but he only tasted a little, and there was still a lot of wine left.

Luke poured two glasses of wine and ate a piece of donkey meat sausage, which tasted good and fragrant.

It has a special meaty aroma.

Looking at the sumptuous Chinese food on this table, Luke was really reluctant to leave.

The two men had a drink.

Luke took a bite of plaice. The fish tasted good and had only one main spine.

While the two were eating and chatting, Li Zhaofeng asked, "How is the case investigation going? Is it going well?"

Luke said, "It's okay. I'm just a consultant. I can help them give advice. You don't have to worry too much."

Li Zhaofeng put down his chopsticks and clinked another glass of wine with Luke, "In the afternoon, I studied your income and expenses.

Your income last year was very high, reaching $4.13 million, but your expenses were not much, and you paid $1.2 million in taxes.

In addition to the salary of the police station, other incomes are not fixed, and there are many sources of income, and the tax rate is also high, so this is not appropriate.

I suggest you open a company to offset part of your tax payment."

Luke asked, "I'm just a policeman, and I focus all my energy on investigating cases. What kind of company can I open?"

"My suggestion is to open a detective agency in your own name. Since you and Pinkerton Detective Agency are partners, you can sign contracts and accept commissions in the name of your personal detective agency in the future.

Your employment fee becomes the income of the company (detective agency). Your air ticket to New York this time can be regarded as a business trip, you can treat people to meals, and your expenses can be reimbursed by the company.

A detective needs to go out to investigate and meet clients. He can buy a car and rent a house as the office of the detective agency.

These expenses can be written into the company's accounts to deduct costs."

Luke thought for a while, "In other words, these consumptions can be deducted from income, and the rest needs to be taxed."

"That's right."

"Is this method considered tax evasion? Will it attract the attention of the IRS?"

"Don't worry, these will affect the company's external image and etiquette communication, then it is closely related to the company's development." Li Zhaofeng gave an example, "Zuckerberg has paid himself one dollar in salary since 2013, but his salary in 2019

The amount spent on private jets, security, etc. reached 23.4 million US dollars.

When Trump's taxes were audited, the report showed that his annual hair styling expenses were $70,000.

Another example is that many celebrities and artists open studios, and their clothes, bags, luxury cars, luxury watches, etc. are very expensive, but these are expenses within the scope of the work and can be covered by the company's costs."

Luke said, "But you also said that my consumption is not high, and I can't deduct much tax."

Li Zhaofeng smiled and said, “It’s simple, as long as the company is in a loss-making state, there is no need to pay taxes.

For example, your company made one million U.S. dollars this year, and then the company used the million to invest in a restaurant. The restaurant expanded its scale and wanted to open a branch, so it purchased a store. As a result, the restaurant's year-end budget was

The profit is very low, and there are even loans for shops.

The restaurant cannot pay dividends to your company, and the company's account is temporarily in a 'loss' state.

But actually the company acquired shares in the restaurant and a store."

Luke laughed and said, "It sounds a little weird to use a detective agency to invest in restaurants."

"It costs US$3,000 to register a company, which is nothing compared to your income. You can register an additional investment company, put the detective agency under the name of the investment company, and then increase your asset holdings in the name of the investment company.

, indirectly achieving the purpose of tax avoidance.

Of course, what I am talking about is relatively general, and the actual operation will be more complicated and require some costs. This is why the rich can avoid taxes and the middle class needs to pay taxes honestly.

But the cost and effort are worth it for your income."

These things are simple to say, but not easy to do. Once you make a mistake, the IRS will catch the loophole. You must find a professional and trustworthy person to do it.

Luke didn't have the energy, so he just let his father do it.

…

The next morning, Luke slept in.

You don't have to go to work anyway, so there's no need to get up early.

Li Zhaofeng had already gone to work at the accounting firm. There was egg fried rice left in the pot, which contained eggs, sausages, diced carrots, and mushrooms. It tasted good, and it was the kind of texture Luke liked.

After the meal, Luke and Linda chatted on video for a while.

After not going home for so long, my mother is still thinking about her. The little fat boy has arrived home safely and gone to school.

In the afternoon, Luke received an invitation from Michael Jeter and went to the hospital to visit Aamir Khan and Mo Shaoxiong.

The two men live in the same hospital.
