The first person to meet was Bart, and after asking for condolences, Lin Kai got down to business.He took the old will, which was also sealed, out of his borrowed assistant's briefcase, and the seal was open.Lin Kai put the will on the table. Bart took one look at the will and didn't quite understand: "Isn't the will read by Cook's lawyer tomorrow night?"
Lin Kai did not answer the rhetorical question: "Mr. Dai.." Mr. Davis, here's the situation.Did you hear that there was a little bit of bad blood between your father and attorney Cook?
Bart thought for a moment. "No, Mr. Cook was my grandfather's lawyer.". I haven't heard of any bad blood between them.
Lin Kai said, "There is a rumor that lawyer Cook once had dinner with your second brother.".Since then, wills managed by lawyers have been transformed into forbidden wills.As the administrator of your father's will, the person who knows the contents of your father's will, in terms of industry rules,Attorney Cook should not have personal dealings with any interested party.
Bart asked, "What exactly do you do, Mr. Liang?"
"As I said before, I am a psychological judge," said Lin Kai.
Bart: "Not an emotional assessor?"
Lin Kai explained: "There are different names in the industry and the outside world. In the industry, we commonly call ourselves emotional assessors.".For example, before informing the relatives of the victims, we will first make an assessment of the emotions of the relatives, and then decide to inform them in some way.It's people-oriented.
Bart seemed to understand what Lin Kai meant and said, "Mr. Liang, I respect my father's will very much."I can accept any terms. To tell you the truth, I don't even want to inherit the title. That's not my interest.And even if I go bankrupt and lose my job, our family trust fund is enough to ensure that our standard of living will not be very bad.
Lin Kai stood up and shook hands with Bart. "Sorry to bother you. If you can, please keep our conversation secret from them for the time being."
...
The second meeting was with Glen. As usual, after mourning his loss, Lin Kai took out the old will from his briefcase.Glen was visibly surprised and hesitant. "What does that mean?"
Lin Kai saw it in his eyes and said, "Mr. Davis, according to my understanding of nobility.". The eldest son inherited the title, and the second son usually chose to join the army."
Glen nodded casually. "Is there such a saying that Cook asked you to tell me the contents of the will?"
Lin Kai shook his head. "No, this is an old will.". Judging from the old will, Mr. Dai has received some relatively generous treatment.In particular, the will States that, in view of the fact that you have been in the army for 12 years and have sacrificed a lot for your family, you have received 2% more assets than others.
Glen was surprised. "Is that so?"
Lin Kai laughed: "I'm sorry, Mr. Dai, I'm an emotional judge..." What's the name again?
Lin Kai forgot and fooled the past directly: "So we need to tell some lies to understand the expectations of each prospective heir for the will."
Glen ignored the conversation that Lin Kai needed to be beaten and asked with concern, "What is the content of the will?"
Lin Kai said: "Although it is an old will, it also needs the consent of Cook's lawyer to browse.". Thank you for your cooperation. I'm sorry to bother you.
Lin Kai took the initiative to shake hands with Glen, who was a little confused.When he returned to his room, he immediately called Cook, who did not inform him of the theft of the will, but perfunctorily and prevaricated.After hanging up, Cook contacted Lin Kai and asked, "Is Glen a suspect?"
Lin Kai replied, "I don't think Glen stole the will. What's the problem, lawyer Cook?"
Cook hastened to reply, "No, no."
...
The third person Lin Kai met was Stewart, who was the calmest and quietest of his children.Seeing that the old will was uneventful, he told Lin Kai first, "I will get my inheritance."All assets except land are donated to charity. I don't care what's in the will, and I don't need a psychological evaluation.
Lin Kai asked, "Why not donate the land?"
Stewart replied, Because the land is a defined inheritance,I hope the Davis family will continue to inherit the fief for generations.In addition, my father and I have expressed this wish, and I do not want my father to split the inheritance land.Our ancestors bequeathed to us the Davis family fief, and our descendants have the obligation to guard the family fief.
Lin Kai said with a smile, "I talked to your eldest brother before, and I think you have a strong sense of family."It is more suitable to be the successor of the title and the successor of the fief.
Stewart disagrees: Primogeniture is tradition and law.If there is no such rule, the would-be heir of each family can do a lot of shameful things to please the family patriarch.Like selling out your brother, like having private contact with a lawyer.
"Mr. Dai seems to be referring to your second brother," said Lin Kai.
Stewart shook his head. "I didn't mean anything.".It's just that I can assure you that I'm not a greedy person, but I can't persuade others to be a materialistic person.
Lin Kai stood up and shook hands with Stewart. "Thank you." You didn't ask me why I mentioned Glen, which means you knew about it.
...
The three sons have a good temper, especially the eldest and the third are very polite.Julie, on the other hand, was a bit domineering and spoke rudely.
Lin Kaixian asked the key point: "Who do you think cares most about the content of the will among your brothers?"
Julie answered without thinking, "My second brother, he is also the most ambitious of us.".After he retired from the army, he went into business and lost a lot of money. He even filed for personal bankruptcy. My father paid him back for the sake of the family's face.It is said that a few months ago, the investment hedge fund lost a lot of money, borrowed a lot of money from outside, and now the whole family depends on the trust fund to survive.
Julie: And my second sister-in-law is a very vain woman.In order to match the identity of his rich and powerful daughter-in-law, he spent a lot of money, and my second brother suffered unspeakably.Their husband and wife are the ones who look forward to the will most.
I could hear that Julie hated her second sister-in-law, and she was kind in her words about her second brother.He never said anything bad about the eldest brother and the third brother, and he had a good attitude when he mentioned them.
Taken together, there are some conflicts in the family, and Bart and Stewart are reluctant to talk about family conflicts with Lin Kai.Julie's self-cultivation is not bad, from its can not help but speak ill of the second sister-in-law can be seen, Julie put up with her for a long time.
Lin Kai asked several old maids who had worked in the count's house for at least fifteen years.They told Lin Kai that of the four children, Julie was the most loved by the count.Julie's daily performance is also the best, and she always thinks about the Earl and his wife first when she has good things.For ten years after the death of the Earl's wife, she spent at least one day a week at the manor with the Earl.
Lin Kai looked at the old will, and Julie did not get more assets.The old will stated that the limited inheritance fief would be given to Bart, and the other assets would be divided equally among the four children.
The new will must be different from the old one, otherwise there is no need to make it again.There was only a month between the old and new wills, and during that month only Julie had seen the count.Julie's company may well have altered the distribution of the assets of the Earl's will.Judging from Julie's attitude, Glen is probably the victim of the new will.
But from the meeting with Glen, Lin Kai believes that Glen did not steal the will.
