Luke asked, "Is there only information on the deceased, no crime scene photos?"

"The FBI has just found out about his murder, the scene investigators are still there, the remaining information will be later."

"What's special about this deceased that warrants such attention?"

"He is not important, we're focusing on another person." Negan pulled out another file, "This is the person we are really looking for."

Name, Zhou Tiansheng.

Nationality, Malaysian Chinese

Age, 40 years old

Company, Leo International Transport Company

Criminal record, Intentional injury, smuggling, illegal gambling

Negan explained, "Zhou Tiansheng was originally a lackey of Malaysia's Genting Group. Later he obtained an online gambling license in the Philippines, operating gambling websites, his gambling websites are spread throughout Southeast Asian countries.

In these Southeast Asian countries, although most have casinos, they usually prohibit local residents from entering.

Zhou Tiansheng's online gambling, broadcasting local casino gambling activities, attracts both foreign and local residents to engage in illegal gambling over the phone and online, transferring illegal gains through various methods such as underground banks.

Without chips or cash in hand, gamblers lack psychological pressure when betting, making it easier for them to become addicted.

Countless cases of financial ruin, some people losing consecutively 3 million US Dollars within three years.

What's more outrageous is that gamblers can settle their bets directly in US Dollars. The platform has a dedicated gambling fund settlement department, with annual gambling funds reaching over ten billion dollars.

Malaysian police have been investigating privately, and decided to arrest him after obtaining enough evidence.

But this fellow has deep connections in Malaysia, got tipped off, and escaped.

Recently, we got news that he might have fled to New York."

Luke asked, "What does this have to do with the FBI?"

"The Malaysian government hopes the American government can extradite him back to face trial.

The most important thing is he has hidden a large amount of illegal funds and assets.

Malaysia and Southeast Asian countries wish to recover these properties.

Since Zhou Tiansheng has fled to America, who else is more suitable than the FBI?"

During the conversation, a waiter walked over with a bottle of red wine and poured for the two.

The two clinked glasses.

The waiter started serving dishes, and the two talked while eating.

Luke asked, "What is the relationship between accountant Ma Jiansheng and Zhou Tiansheng?"

"Zhou Tiansheng has hidden many properties globally, the American assets are managed by a subordinate named Song Jinbao. According to our investigation, Zhou Tiansheng was well-prepared for being investigated, and assets are all under anonymous names or others' names.

A lot of illegal operations require professional involvement, this accountant Ma Jiansheng should be responsible for this aspect.

According to our investigation, Song Jinbao had contact with two accountants, Ma Jiansheng is one of them."

Although Negan didn't spell it out, his meaning was obvious: Li Zhaofeng should be the other accountant, which is also the reason why the FBI is tracking him.

"Do you have information on Song Jinbao?" Luke asked.

According to Li Zhaofeng, indeed, in early October, a man with the surname Song wanted to hire him as a personal accountant.

Negan pulled out another file and handed it to Luke.

Luke had just sketched the composite earlier this morning, though he hadn't seen him in person, he knew some of the man's physical traits, which matched Song Jinbao's photo very well.

"Last night, I talked to my father.

He mentioned that someone with the surname Song wanted to hire him as a personal accountant, but that Song claimed to be from He Sheng Hall, my father didn't want to deal with gangs, so he refused and hadn't made contact since."

Negan also confessed, "We went to Song Jinbao's house and found Li Zhaofeng's business card, so we sent someone to investigate.

Now it seems, this Ma Jiansheng should be the accountant chosen by Zhou Tiansheng."

Luke asked, "Why was accountant Ma Jiansheng killed?"

"Not sure yet.

Although we know Zhou Tiansheng smuggled into New York, we haven't tracked his exact whereabouts, same for Song Jinbao.

The situation is more complicated than expected.

Gambling King Zhou Tiansheng is very well-known, now like a piece of meat, every force wants a bite.

Including gangs, NYPD, and those CIA bastards."

Negan put down the dining knife, sighed, "Especially those CIA bastards, they are 'wild' abroad, would do anything for benefits.

If it was them who killed Ma Jiansheng, I wouldn't be surprised at all."

Luke asked, "What does the FBI want?"

Negan glanced around, "Find Zhou Tiansheng."

"What are the benefits?"

"Zhou Tiansheng's assets in America are divided into two parts, the surface assets have already been frozen.

But he has hidden some anonymous assets, finding Zhou Tiansheng can lead to those hidden assets.

These assets are dirty money, some need to be auctioned off.

And the auction of dirty money will definitely be below market price." Negan gave a look as if saying you know what that means.

Luke probed, "Does it follow procedures?"

"Of course, otherwise the NYPD and CIA wouldn't be so proactive.

No department has it easy, always needs funding and benefits, that's right?"

"Completely agree."

"So, are you interested in getting involved?"

"You want me to investigate the case of Ma Jiansheng's murder?"

"Yes, I have checked your information.

Anthony is very good at investigating major criminal cases, although sometimes causes some mess, his capabilities are undeniable.
