Happy Tycoon

Chapter 21: Barristers

In the Egham Police Station, Yang Jing once again saw the housekeeper of the Vardy family, Mr. Bob John.

Accompanying Butler John to the police station was a very formal dressed white man in his fifties. Looking at the man’s dress, Yang Jing knew that this should be the lawyer for Butler John.

Sure enough, when the two met Yang Jing, the butler John nodded, bowed his head and said something to the lawyer, and then the lawyer called Sheriff Holmes aside, and then removed it from the package. He took out a pile of things and gave it to the sheriff, and talked to the sheriff for a long time, and then walked into a reception room with the butler John.

Sheriff Holmes frowned and took the pile of things into the interrogation room and sat in front of Yang Jing.

“Mr. Yang, you must have seen Mr. John and Attorney Crosso just now. Now Attorney Crosso reported the case on behalf of the Vardy family, saying that you were packing things in the castle of Vardy more than ten days ago. I took illegal means to obtain three valuable sketches in the castle. Now I will conduct a routine questioning of you. I hope you can truthfully explain what happened that day.”

Yang Jing shrugged and said: “Sergeant, I’m very sorry, I can’t tell you anything before my lawyer arrives. But I can tell you one truth, that is, I have never taken part in the Valdi Castle. I have obtained three sketches by illegal means. Apart from this sentence, I have nothing to comment on.”

Yang Jing knows that in a developed capitalist country like the UK, lawyers are a very important profession, especially at this time, before the lawyers come, you must not speak much, otherwise you might cause something irreparable. Disaster is coming.

Sheriff Holmes is a good-tempered man. In fact, his physique is enough to show that he is a fat man with a wide heart. Of course, it may also be related to the fact that China has begun to show a strong momentum in the past few years. The sheriff may have other ideas. Therefore, he is not annoyed by Yang Jing’s remarks. Instead, he continues to say with a smile: “Yang Sir, although I am very reluctant to deal with lawyers, since there is a report from the informant, then we must investigate and pick one up, so I advise you not to try to delay time or cover up the facts. I know that there are cases in your country. As the saying goes, black is always black and never becomes white. So, you’d better think about it for yourself. After your lawyer comes, I need a very detailed explanation. .”

The sheriff’s attitude is very good. There is no legendary discrimination. Yang Jing is also happy to deal with such people, but this is not a good time for him to speak, so he just smiled and nodded and stopped talking.

Fatty’s work efficiency is still quite high. Less than half an hour after Yang Jing entered the police station, Fatty walked in with a white man in his forties from outside the station.

“Lao Yang, these policemen didn’t do anything to you, right? If they dare to bully you, I want them to look good!” Seeing Yang Jing’s face, the fat man asked a little anxiously. Of course, he used Chinese, and he was not afraid that the police would understand it.

Yang Jing shook his head and said, “This sheriff is a nice man, he didn’t embarrass me. Fatty, is this the lawyer you got?”

The fat man nodded, “This is a lawyer that Professor Wilson helped find. It is a barrister at Clifford Chance.”

” Clifford Chance Law Firm? Such a bull nose?” Yang Jing asked in shock. The Clifford Chance law firm is not an ordinary law firm. This law firm is one of the top law firms in the UK. In this industry, its annual income ranks first in the UK and third in the world. , Yang Jing did not expect Fatty to find a lawyer from this law firm.

The fat man curled his lips distressedly and said, “I’m bleeding for this lawyer. This guy costs 600 pounds an hour. Fortunately, I haven’t moved the money that my old man gave me. It’s up to others.”

Yang Jing was also taken aback by the fee, “Damn it, so expensive?”

“Expensive and expensive! This Mr. Robert Terry is a barrister. If Professor Wilson had a good relationship with him, people would not agree to come and help. The price is still friendly. If you change it Personally, they have to spend more than a thousand pounds an hour. So, if you have more money, you can have more. With the help of Mr. Terry, there should be no problem in this matter.”

Hearing the fat man say so, Yang Jing nodded and understood.

Lawyers belong to the high-income group in the UK, but in the UK, lawyers are mostly divided into two categories, one is called consulting lawyers. This kind of lawyers generally only provide assistance such as legal advice, and they can also appear in small courts for defense. There are many such lawyers. But the income is average, and the annual salary is mostly around £50,000 to £100,000 www.readwn.com But there is a very powerful lawyer, that is, a trial lawyer. Such lawyers can defend on-site in the High Court. There are not many such lawyers, but they have very high incomes and can even be employed as royal lawyers.

If this Mr. Terry is really a barrister, the cost of 600 pounds an hour is really a friendly price. You must know that this kind of lawyer can earn more than 300,000 pounds when he is young, and he is a veritable high-income group.

Under the recommendation of the fat man, this Mr. Robert Terry quickly talked with Yang Jing. Of course, the conversation between them avoided the Sheriff Holmes.

“Mr. Yang, can you be sure that the three paintings were not obtained from Valdi Castle?” Mr. Terry, with the unique savvy of a barrister, asked directly about the roots.

Yang Jing nodded without hesitation and said: “Mr. Terry, I can assure you that these three sketches were not obtained from Valdi Castle, but I used them at the Greenwich Handicraft Market the other day. I bought it for £300. I think Chris should have shown you the purchase agreement I signed with the shop owner when I bought these paintings, right?”

Mr. Terry nodded and said: “I have seen the agreement. Mr. Yang, I have to say that you have handled this matter very well. With this agreement, you are 100% responsible for today’s case. I am still sure of this. some.”

After a pause, Mr. Terry asked Yang Jing a few more questions. Yang Jing killed the three paintings in one bite and didn’t get them from the old castle.

Mr. Terry simply stood up and directly found the Sheriff Holmes, and began to negotiate with the Sheriff.

Yang Jing is the party concerned, these things cannot avoid him, so he has been by Mr. Terry’s side.
