Chapter 21 Barrister

In the Egham police station, Yang Jing once again met the butler of the Vardy family, Mr. Bob John.

Accompanying John Butler to the police station was a well-dressed white man in his 50s. Looking at the man's attire, Yang Jing knew that this should be John Butler's lawyer.

Sure enough, when the two saw Yang Jing, Butler John nodded, bowed his head and said something to the lawyer, and then the lawyer directly called Sergeant Holmes aside, and then took He took out a stack of things and handed it to the sheriff, and talked to the sheriff for a long time before walking into a reception room with Butler John.

Sergeant Holmes frowned and walked into the interrogation room with the pile of things, and sat in front of Yang Jing.

"Mr. Yang, you must have seen Mr. John and Lawyer Closso just now. Lawyer Closso is now reporting the case on behalf of the Vardy family, saying that you were packing things in the Valdi Castle more than ten days ago. , used illegal means to obtain three valuable sketches in the castle, now I want to conduct a routine interrogation with you, I hope you can truthfully explain what happened that day."

Yang Jing shrugged his shoulders and said: "Sheriff, I'm very sorry, I can't tell you anything before my lawyer arrives. But I can tell you one fact, that is, I never took any action in Valdi Castle. I have obtained three sketches through illegal means. Apart from this sentence, I have nothing to say."

Yang Jing knew that in a developed capitalist country like the UK, a lawyer was a very important profession, especially at this time, before the lawyer came, he must not talk too much, otherwise he might cause some irreparable problems Disaster is coming.

Inspector Holmes was a good-natured man, and in fact, his physique was enough to suggest that he was a broad-minded and stout man.Of course, it may also be related to Huaxia's strong momentum in the past few years. The sheriff may have other ideas, so he was not annoyed by Yang Jing's words, but continued to say with a smile: "Yang Sir, although I am very reluctant to deal with lawyers, since there is a report from the informant, we must investigate and take it over, so I advise you not to try to delay time or cover up the facts. I know that there are cases in your country There is a good saying that what is black is always black and will never become white. So, you better think about it for yourself. I need a very detailed explanation when your lawyer comes. .”

The attitude of the police chief was very good, there was no discrimination in the legend, and Yang Jing was happy to deal with such a person, but this was not a good time for him to speak, so he just nodded with a smile and stopped talking.

Fatty's work efficiency is quite high. Less than half an hour after Yang Jing entered the police station, Fatty walked in from outside the police station accompanied by a white man in his 40s.

"Old Yang, these policemen didn't do anything to you, did they? If they dare to bully you, I want them to look good!" Seeing Yang Jing's face, the fat man asked anxiously.Of course, he used Chinese, and he was not afraid that the police would understand.

Yang Jing shook his head and said, "This sheriff is a nice guy, he didn't make things difficult for me. Fatty, is this the lawyer you hired?"

The fat man nodded, "This is a lawyer that Professor Wilson helped to find, a barrister from Clifford Chance."

"Clifles Law Firm? So arrogant?" Yang Jing said in surprise.This 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. Well, Yang Jing didn't expect Fatty to find a lawyer from this law firm.

The fat man curled his lips in distress and said, "I'm bleeding out to hire this lawyer for you. The hourly fee for this guy is [-] pounds. Fortunately, I haven't touched the money my father gave me, otherwise I wouldn't have hired him." start a family."

Yang Jing was also taken aback by the fee, "Damn, it's so expensive?"

"Expensive has its advantages! This Mr. Robert Terry is a barrister. If it weren't for the good relationship between Professor Wilson and him, he would not have agreed to come to help. This price is still a friendly price. If you change Personally, the fee for an hour is more than a thousand pounds. So, if you have more money, you can pay more. With the help of Mr. Terry, there should be no problem with this matter."

Hearing what the fat man said, Yang Jing nodded and understood.

Lawyers in the UK belong to the high-income group, but in the UK, lawyers are mostly divided into two categories, one is called consulting lawyers, this kind of lawyers generally only provide legal advice and other assistance, and 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 [-] pounds to [-] pounds.

But there is another kind of very powerful lawyer, that is, the trial lawyer.This kind of lawyer can conduct on-site defense in the High Court. There are not many such lawyers, but their income is very high, and they can even be hired as royal lawyers.

If this Mr. Terry is really a barrister, the fee of 30 pounds an hour is really a friendly price.We must know that this kind of lawyer can easily earn more than [-] pounds in one year, and is a veritable high-income group.

Under the recommendation of the fat man, this Mr. Robert Terry soon had a conversation with Yang Jing. Of course, the conversation between them avoided Sergeant Holmes.

"Mr. Yang, are you sure that those three paintings were not obtained from Valdi Castle?" Mr. Terry had the unique shrewdness of a barrister, and asked directly to the root.

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 in the Greenwich handicraft market a few days ago. For three hundred pounds. I suppose Chris should have shown you the purchase agreement I signed with the shopkeeper when I bought the pictures?"

Mr. Terry nodded and said: "I have read the agreement. Mr. Yang, I have to say that you have done a good job in this matter. With this agreement, you are [-]% free of any responsibility in today's case. I am sure about this point. some."

After a pause, Mr. Terry asked Yang Jing a few more questions. Yang Jing killed the three paintings in one bite. They did not come from the castle.

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

As the person concerned, Yang Jing cannot avoid these matters, so he has been by Mr. Terry's side.
