Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Cook, a white-haired man in his sixties, has a makeshift office in a first-floor wing of the main residence.  Seven lawyers sat and worked at a desk with computers and a lot of paper materials in front of them.  Cook was more polite than his assistant. After shaking hands with Liang Xi, he kindly asked about John's body.

    Cook asked Liang Xi to enter the inner room, and told Liang Xi that the lawyer outside was taking stock of the property of the manor, preparing documents for the heir to the title, and applying for a seat in the council.  British families inherit titles and lands using the primogeniture system.  This situation continued until the 1920s.  The new law retains primogeniture but allows fiefdoms to be distributed by will as limited inheritance property.  In the absence of a will, the eldest son inherits.  As for private property, such as money, stocks, etc., it is not affected by the title inheritance system.

    Cook asked Liang Xi to take a seat: "Jack has already explained the situation to you. Time is limited. I must come up with my will before 8 o'clock tomorrow night. If you need any help, just ask."

    Liang Xi asked: "In theory, everything in the manor, including the children's residence, is also an inheritance?"

    Cook nodded: "Yes."

    Liang Xi said: "I need to investigate the case as your assistant, and I can freely enter and exit various places."

    Cook said: "This is a must. Your duty is to evaluate and record the assets in the manor. With this identity, you can enter and exit all places. But I believe you are polite and know that some places should only be entered after seeking the consent of others.  "

    Liang Xi asked: "What if I'm not polite? You know, sometimes you can't be polite."

    Cook looked at Liang Xi and said, "As long as you find the will, everything is easy to talk about."

    Liang Xi nodded knowingly. Cook was calm on the surface, but his heart almost collapsed, and he took himself as a life-saving straw.  Liang Xi said: "Can you introduce the situation of the four heirs?" To find the will, the first thing to do is to identify the suspect of the theft.

    The Earl of Davis and his family did not directly participate in the operation. Davis handed over his assets to a trust fund company for supervision, and they invested and managed them.  There are many investment projects and business spread all over the world.  As Davies's son and daughter, you can get a trust fund of 20,000 pounds a month.

    Dai Da is fifty years old this year and is an assistant director of a program at Reading TV.

    Dai Er is 48 years old this year. He is a retired military officer who has served for 12 years. He is now working as a ground engineer at an airport in London.

    Dai San is forty-five years old this year. He is a pastor and works in the church in Reading Township. His daily work is mostly related to charity.

    Ms. Dai is forty-four years old this year and is an associate professor at the University of Reading. She is a research academic professor who mainly researches and improves the history of the Renaissance era.

    The backgrounds of the four people are all beautiful, and it is impossible to tell from the resumes who has the possibility of committing the crime.  Liang Xi directly swept over the four suspected staff members of the main residence because they had no interest in stealing the will

    The butler in his fifties led Liang Xi up to the second floor and to the earl's master bedroom.  The master bedroom is large and has its own separate living room.  Strictly speaking, it is not beautiful, and the bust portrait Liang Xi hanging on the wall is really hard to appreciate.  The carvings on the stairs, and the walls in the color of marble are not aesthetically pleasing.  Liang Xi also knew his own taste, and he really praised him in front of the housekeeper.

    The housekeeper helped to open all the doors, and stood at the door of the master bedroom by himself.  As a steward, he treats the earl's descendants with courtesy and respect, but he is not loyal to any children, he is loyal to the earl and the manor.  If the new earl is willing, he can stay and continue to manage the manor and serve the new earl.  If the new earl is not satisfied, he will not take too much memory.

    The big bed in the bedroom finally brought a bit of a modern atmosphere, and on the wall next to it was an oil painting of the Earl's wife when she was young.  Liang Xi carefully took off the oil painting and placed it against the wall, looking at the built-in safe hidden behind the portrait.

    Liang Xi glanced at the safe and was speechless. This is the simplest six-digit password safe.  Liang Xi thought about it, he is a person who doesn't know the password, how can he open this safe?  Liang Xi looked at the earl's family information sent to him by Cook's assistant on his mobile phone, and randomly entered the earl's wife's birthday: 590402.  The safe popped open.

    These rich people are really bad. They are so rich and have such a simple safe, which is simply encouraging others to commit crimes.

    The safe is divided into upper and lower layers, the upper layer is larger and the lower layer is smaller.  There are many grids on the lower level, which contain various jewelry.  Liang Xi picked up a gemstone necklace and squinted at the light for a while. This necklace was worth more than half a million pounds.  Liang Xi turned his head to face the door of the bedroom, and looked towards the hall. There was no one in the main living room.

    After all, the gemstone necklace is calculated according to the number, so it is risky to take it.  The diamonds in one side of the grid are in units of diamonds, and taking one baseNo one on the planet will find out.  Liang Xi picked up a diamond, squinted his eyes and looked at the light. It was almost certainly a diamond without a laser number.  Such a large one would cost tens of thousands of pounds.

    Liang Xi put the diamond back, and pushed back the lower drawer of the safe.  Most of the upper layers are documents, including entrustment contracts and so on.  According to Cook, Cook, the butler and a maid were present when the new will was sealed.  They were all among the witnesses to the legality of the new will and signed the seal.

    Liang Xi called Cook: "Lawyer Cook, is the old will still there?"

    Cook replied: "Yes."

    Liang Xi asked: "Is the will also sealed?"

    Cook replied: "Yes."

    Liang Xidao: "I need to add an identity: successor emotional evaluator."

    Cook was taken aback: "This is the first time I've heard of this profession."

    Liang Xi said: "There is always a first time. My job is to talk to the prospective heirs individually to assess their acceptance of the distribution of the inheritance. If someone can't accept the result of not getting a penny, they will die on the spot  What should I do? Based on the attitude of being responsible to the client, Cooke Law Firm specially provides the emotional assessment service of the heir.¡±

    Cook thought for a long time with his mobile phone: "As long as it is conducive to finding the will, of course."

    Liang Xi said: "Lawyer Cook, you'd better be mentally prepared for the worst."

    Cook shuddered and asked, "What do you mean?"

    Liang Xi explained: "If the thief is the beneficiary in the will, then he will definitely choose to put the will back in the safe. Now that there is no will in the safe, it means that the thief is in a disadvantageous position in the new will. Suppose it is not found  In the new will, the assets are divided equally between the four children. It can be explained that the part of the thief in the will is below average."

    Liang Xi said: "If I were a thief, I would destroy the will."

    Cook: "Oh, Mai Kar."

    Liang Xi said: "But this is only the worst possibility."

    Cook sighed: "I see, please do your best."

    Liang Xi: "No problem."

    Don't expect too much from others, because you don't know how much hope the other party will have.  Give a bad possibility, a good result, and people will thank you.  Give a good possibility, a bad outcome, and people will resent you.  This is what John has learned from his 30 years of detective work.

    Liang Xi first talked with the housekeeper and maid who signed the seal for a while, and then visited the four heirs respectively.
