Chapter 1852: The wool of the Stars and Stripes is not good

"Joseph, what kind of ecstasy did you give him? Why did he become such a virtue by calling his wife's name?" Xiao Peng looked puzzled, and asked Joseph aside.
Joseph asked, "Xiao, do you think he is joking with you?"
Xiao Peng coldly snorted: "I am so three years old? Can I believe this nonsense? Joseph, I don't know what you caught him and toss him to death! I owe you personal love!"
Joseph waved his hand and said, "No, no, Xiao, you misunderstood. I am a law enforcement officer after all. I must take care of this matter when I see it. I ask you about this matter. The only difference is: I am asking him for trouble now. It’s better to trouble him in the future. Since you said so, let's solve it tonight."
Xiao Peng blinked: "What the is going on?"
Joseph smiled slightly: "You will know right away."
Xiao Peng walked back, Darren Li. . . . . . Oh no, it was Li Jianguo who was still there with a smile on his face: "A few of you go in and sit down, I've already asked my wife to make coffee. Brother Xiao, I made this joke with you today. Actually, there is no malicious intention. I just want to remind you that when you are in a foreign country, don't reveal your wealth, or you will be caught up."
Xiao Peng shrugged and smiled: "You still don't know me. If you know me, what you should tell me is not'Don't reveal your wealth', but'Don't commit a crime'. Just like I almost committed a crime just now. "
Li Jianguoqiang smiled and said, "Brother Xiao really likes to make jokes."
Xiao Peng shook his head and looked serious: "I'm really not kidding."
Joseph made a call next to him, returned to Xiao Peng, and looked at Li Jianguo Road: "Daren-Mr. Li, I think you should know what I want to tell you next?"
However, Li Jianguo smiled: "Police officer, what do you say? I am a good law-abiding citizen. You see, you and my fellow villager are friends. Friends of friends are also friends? So what's not to say What? Come on, smoke cigars, I have great'Samuel and Samson' cigars here. We smoke cigars and talk slowly."
Joseph shook his head, "Mr. Darren-Lee, I just called to confirm that you have violated the court order. I'm sorry, the relevant person will come here to confirm in a while. You can contact your lawyer now. But I can’t leave my sight."
Li Jianguo's expression changed drastically after hearing this: "Oh, it's all friends of friends, so why bother to do this? Brother Xiao, you are persuading this police officer!"
Even though Xiao Peng didn't know what happened, he blinked: "Please, Mr. Darren-Li, I don't know what you did, but you just said that the police of the Stars and Stripes are very powerful. No interference in law enforcement."
Li Jianguo pulled Xiao Peng aside: "Just call me Li Jianguo. What is Darren-Li? Those are all fools of foreigners. They are all Chinese. You have to help me. We can't let those foreigners look down upon me. We are Chinese."
Xiao Peng was happy: "Aren't you from Star Stripe Country?"
Li Jianguo pointed to his face: "How is it possible, look at my face, yellow skin! We are fellows! I think your passport is from Ludong, right? We are relatives!"
"You are from Ludong? It doesn't sound like an accent!" Xiao Peng was taken aback.
"Oh, my grandfather's grandfather is from Ludong! So I am also a descendant of Ludong!
We have to help each other! "Li Jianguo Road.
Xiao Peng really wanted to give it a big mouth, if he said that, the ancestor of Laozi might still be the emperor! Nanqi and Nanliang in the Southern and Northern Dynasties were both emperors surnamed Xiao!
Ok? If you say that, you are also a minority? If you knew that you should study and study, at least the college entrance examination can add points, right?
"I really can't help you!" Xiao Peng said: "After all, you said that the police of the Star Stripe Nation are very serious, and he and I have known each other for only two days."
He was telling the truth. He told Joseph that he had known each other for more than two days.
Li Jianguo said, "No, no, no need for you to tell your friends. It only takes a while for the police to come and you just say I didn't rent the house to you."
"Huh?" Xiao Peng was confused
"You must promise me! Chinese people have to help each other when they go out!" Li Jianguo said.
Xiao Peng smiled, and did not answer Li Jianguo's words and asked: "It's useless to tell me about this. There must be other tenants here, right? What will they say?"
Li Jianguo said: "Don't worry about this, my wife has already gone in to say hello to them!"
"They will listen to you?" Xiao Peng asked back.
Li Jianguo smiled and said: "We Chinese tourists live there too. As long as the rent is waived to them, they will be tight-lipped."
Xiao Peng smiled after hearing this. Although he didn't know what happened, he still counted on me as you wish? You want to be beautiful!
Li Jianguo looked at Xiao Peng and smiled, thinking that he had agreed, so he hurried to talk to Joseph and say something nice.
But when the police came, Xiao Peng was startled first: He thought that at most two police cars would come by, but it turned out to be good. More than a dozen cars came in one breath. There were not only police cars but also ordinary cars. , The men who came down were all men in suits and leather shoes. I'll take it. What kind of battle is this?
It's midnight, why are so many people here in the middle of the night? This is a big case! Are these Li Jianguo couples murderers?
But the murderer can't find so many people, right? This is the arrest of the most wanted international criminal?
Xiao Peng also thought of someone coming to ask himself, but the group of them ignored Xiao Peng and others, and no one came to ask Xiao Peng anything. After a while, they saw Li Jianguo and his wife being taken away by the police. The tenant in the room was also taken away, but Li Jianguo and his wife were handcuffed away, while Xiao Peng.
Xiao Peng scratched his head, what's the situation? What is this for? Trafficker? Drug dealer? Serial murderers? Did you get involved in any major international case?
As a result, these people came and left quickly. In the end, only Joseph stayed here, and everyone was gone.
Xiao Peng couldn't help being curious: "Joseph, tell me, what the is this? Who the is Darren Lee? The murderer? Who was it just now? I see. It doesn’t look like there are only policemen. Who are the other people? Is this a great case? Why is no one coming to me for questioning?"
After hearing this, Joseph laughed loudly and said, "Xiao, now I think you are a normal person and you are curious!"
Xiao Peng was speechless: "What do you mean! Why am I abnormal?"
Joseph took out a cigarette and handed it to Xiao Peng: "Of course you are a bit abnormal compared to your peers.
Up. "
Di Wei put the cigarette on Xiao Peng: "What was the situation just now? There are so many policemen? It doesn't take so many people to fight gang crime? Is that a big drug lord?"
Joseph said: "Okay, don't guess, let me tell you, it's actually because they rented out the house."
"What?" Xiao Peng was taken aback.
Di Wei clapped his hands: "I see! They didn't register at the short-term rental office! This is for government wool!"
Joseph nodded and explained the ins and outs of this matter to Xiao Peng and others. Xiao Peng was instantly dumbfounded when he heard it, and he was truly amazing in the world.
Darren Lee and his wife, although they look ordinary, they are definitely super rich. Their scattered properties in Los Angeles add up to 17 properties and 45 apartment units, all of which are the last time in Los Angeles. It was bought cheaply during the subprime mortgage crisis.
He rented out all the houses, and all chose short-term leases. This is because short-term leases definitely earn much more than long-term leases. Every day the rent alone can bring him thousands of dollars in income.
But according to the law, their house cannot be used as a short-term lease.
Stars and Stripes is not like China, where the landlord who rents the house has the final say, as long as he wants to rent it to you. If you want to rent a short-term rental here, you must register with the Los Angeles Short-term Rental Office. On the one hand, it is easy to calculate taxes, on the other hand , Is for the welfare of the poor --- a poor person wants to rent your house. They only need to take a small part of the rent. Most of the rest are paid by the government. Therefore, in Los Angeles, the owner of the house rents the house, regardless of whether it is short-term or long-term, it must be registered. But short-term rentals are more stringent and taxed.
And there are extremely strict laws on renting out houses here. If those homeowners want to rent out their house for a short period of time, the homeowner must live in his house for 275 nights each year, and the renting time cannot exceed 90 days each year! Isn't this delaying their money?
Darren Lee and his wife have been illegally operating this kind of family-style "illegal hotel", renting as many days as they can rent, and never abide by any legal system. As a result, they were found out and were taken to Los Angeles four years ago. The government fined nearly 300,000 U.S. dollars, and also prohibited them from providing short-term rental services to tenants for five years, covering all properties under their names.
But this fine of less than 300,000 US dollars is not a problem for a wealthy couple. The Los Angeles government conducted surprise inspections on them, but they called their friends over, forged a false lease, pretended that they had rented their house for a long time, and then continued to make short-term rental transactions.
Joseph shrugged and said: "Xiao, you may find it uncomfortable to speak, but I want to tell you that there are really many people doing this in Los Angeles. Most of them are Chinese, and city investigators will also target them. Among these Chinese homeowners, problems can often be found. It is this kind of people who have caused the housing shortage in our cities. If you want to rent a house, you can’t rent. Now you count tax evasion, violation of bans and other crimes, and there are not millions They can’t solve this problem with US dollars! How about it, Xiao, have you resolved your hatred?"
Xiao Peng shrugged: "Relieving hatred is to relieve hatred, but how do you know so clearly?"
"One of their houses is my house! Damn the subprime mortgage crisis! I'm still renting a house now!"
