Chapter 1048: Peeling the Silks and Extracting the Cocoon
"Hehe, Lawyer James, you're so smart!"
Hearing James's clever words, Zuo Jian couldn't help but be happy, he raised his hands and clapped vigorously, and said with a smile: "Your analysis is like seeing it, I admire you so much!" ”
James showed a smug smile, "Don't dare to be a ......" Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zuo Jian.
"Lawyer James, I'm curious about something."
Zuo Jian showed a sly smile on his face and said, "Why are you talking about that batch of gold coins here?" ”
James snorted and said forcefully, "Didn't what I just said clear and careful enough?" ”
"Clear and careful? Hehe, that's your self-righteousness! ”
Zuo Jian's face turned pale, and he said coldly: "Lawyer James, let me tell you, the issue we are discussing now is a trade secret, and you, without our permission, broke in, let me tell you, we now suspect that you are a commercial espionage, using the identity of a lawyer to cover up your purpose, and want to steal our trade secrets......"
"No, sir, you are slandering ...... slander"
The smile on James's face disappeared, replaced by anger, but, before he finished speaking, Will next to him also reacted, acting even angrier than James, almost roaring, pointing at James and saying angrily: "Get out!" You commercial spy, believe it or not, I'll call the police to arrest you! With that, he picked up the teacup on the table and threw it at James unceremoniously.
"Falk Squid!"
James was caught off guard, and was directly hit on his forehead by the teacup, and with a bang, he covered his forehead and fell to the ground in embarrassment.
After hearing the news that the shipping company came to the door and asked to give them this batch of gold coins, Weir has been holding back a fire in his heart, and now, he has completely vented this evil fire directly to poor James Zuo Jian's words just now, which made Weir's eyes light up!
James's uninvited move, on the surface, he kept saying that he was beware of tampering with his rhetoric, but in fact, he was just trying to use it to fight psychological warfare.
That's right, psychological warfare.
James is not a police officer, even if he is a lawyer, he has no right to be uninvited in the name of tampering with the confession, and the reason why he did this is nothing more than to use this way to take the lead before Will and the others have not discussed how to deal with the lawyer's letter sent by the shipping company.
At the beginning, Will was caught off guard, and he was indeed fooled, but with Zuo Jian, this guy sitting aside, after a little thought, instantly understood James's intentions, and then there was the scene just now.
"!"
Baker on the side was also angry, compared to Will, Baker's reaction was much slower, and this guy has a characteristic, he is too lazy to use his brain, seeing that Will did it, Baker was not to be outdone, and directly picked up another quilt and threw it at James.
James hurriedly lowered his head and dodged, only then did he avoid the teacup, and shouted, "Stop, Falk Squid, are you going to murder?" I tell you, believe it or not that I am suing you for murder? ”
"Haha, that's a good point."
Zuo Jian flicked the cigarette butt in his hand towards James, with the cigarette butt of Mars, the speed was extremely fast, and it flew to James's face in an instant, he dodged in a panic, but still let out a miserable scream, Zuo Jian said lightly: "Dear Lawyer James, if you don't say the crime of murder, I really didn't think for a while that I would use this charge to prosecute you!" ”
"That's right, you came in uninvited, Lawyer James, I suspect you have bombs and other offensive weapons on you, trying to murder members of the Romero family!"
Zuo Jian didn't blink an eye, and immediately put a big hat on James' head!
If this hat is implemented, James will be out of luck.
"Haha, man, you're right, I suspect this guy has an offensive weapon on him!"
Hearing Zuo Jian's words, Will's eyes lit up, and then said: "I'm going to call the police, damn it, this guy should be a terrorist, he is not a lawyer at all......" As he spoke, he took out the phone.
"No!"
James had a stirring in his heart, what kind of joke, he is a lawyer, if he really asked Will to call the police, saying that he was a terrorist, and let the police investigate him, for James, it would be a shame to throw him home!
Once this matter gets out, what will others say about themselves in the legal profession?
Everyone will definitely say, see no, that guy is James, yes, it's that idiot, when he went to find evidence to negotiate with the other party, he was arrested and investigated as a terrorist......
Once this kind of rumor does appear, it will definitely be a major blow to James' career!
Will anyone dare to hire themselves as a lawyer to fight a company in the future?
"This is my lawyer's card!"
James knew in his heart that at the moment, no matter what, he couldn't let Will make this call in the name of a "terrorist", otherwise, when the police came, this matter would become a laughing stock!
Thinking of this, James immediately took out his lawyer's card, raised it angrily, and said: "I tell you, I am here to investigate the loss of gold coins by the Great British Shipping Company, and I ask you to give a reasonable explanation for this matter and compensate our gold coins......"
"Oh, disrespectful."
Zuo Jian interrupted James's words with a smile, stared at him and said, "You are really a lawyer, I thought it was that liar, in the name of a lawyer, who came here to deceive!" ”
"You ......"
James's angry face turned black, and immediately, he felt an agitation in his heart, and he clearly reacted, this guy was deliberately provoking and provoking himself, thinking of this, James took a deep breath, calmed down, stared at Zuo Jian, and said word by word: "On behalf of the British Shipping Company, I ask you to return the gold coins salvaged from the bottom of the sea, otherwise, we will see you in the international court!" ”
"International tribunals?"
Zuo Jian smiled, cocked Erlang's legs, looked at James playfully, and said, "Excuse me, what evidence do you have to prove that the gold coins we plan to auction belong to that shipping company?" ”
"Of course there is."
Hearing Zuo Jian's words, James nodded, flipped through the briefcase he was carrying, his body stiffened, stopped, looked at Zuo Jian vigilantly, and said: "This gentleman, I have to know your identity and your relationship with this batch of gold coins first, otherwise, I won't talk to people who have nothing to do with it." ”
"Huh!"
Zuo Jian gave Will, who couldn't help but want to scold angrily, a look, and then said to James with a smile: "Lawyer Judge, I can tell you very responsibly that the owner of this batch of gold coins is me, so I think I should be able to talk to a barrister of such dignity as you, right?" ”
"Humph!"
Hearing Zuo Jian's sarcastic words, James' cheeks twitched, and he gritted his teeth and took out a document from his briefcase, and put it on the table with an expressionless face: "This is the document certificate filed by the Great British Shipping Company!" ”
Zuo Jian glanced at him, picked up the document and looked at it seriously.
This is a photocopy.
Judging from the chronology, it is already far away, at least about two hundred and thirty years, and the chapter engraved on it clearly reveals this distant era.
Zuo Jian carefully read the content of this document several times, and suddenly, he smiled.
"Lawyer James, are you kidding me?" Zuo Jian threw the document in front of James and said with a smile: "In this document, the shipping company is only responsible for transportation, where is it written that the shipping company has the ownership of the gold coins?" ”
"Sir, you're right, shipping companies are really just transporting."
James coughed and said solemnly: "However, after the ship was unfortunately shipwrecked, the shipping company has compensated all the goods according to its value, in other words, the shipping company is equivalent to buying this batch of gold coins, can you understand this meaning?" He said unceremoniously.
Now James has taken out his lawyer's style again.
"Hehe, Lawyer James, don't worry, I'm not like you, I can't understand other people's words."
Zuo Jian lit a cigarette, took a puff slowly, and asked slowly: "What do you mean is that your shipping company has compensated for the goods due to force majeure events, so this batch of goods is equivalent to being bought by the shipping company, right?" ”
"That's right." James nodded.
"Hehe, but are you sure that your shipping company gave me the money?" Zuo Jian smiled, crossed Erlang's legs and said, "Your company didn't give me money, why did you say that you have to leave?" ”
"Give you money?" James was stunned.
"Yes." Zuo Jian pointed at himself with his finger and said with a smile: "Lawyer James, you have to figure out one thing, the owner of this batch of gold coins is me, not Great Britain, understand?" You gave the money to Great Britain and came to me to ask for gold coins, is there such a good thing in the world? Who knows if you had something to do with each other at the beginning? Or is it a dirty deal that doesn't see anyone? ”
"You!"
James was immediately angry, looked at Zuo Jian and said: "This gentleman, I think, you are messing around, our company has already compensated for this batch of goods back then, it is reasonable, after this batch of goods is salvaged, the ownership rights belong to us." ”
"Oh? Compensation was made? ”
Zuo Jian nodded and asked rhetorically: "Is there any evidence?" Is there a receipt? Also, are you sure that this batch of gold coins belongs to Great Britain? What kind of evidence and proof will he be able to prescribe? ”
