"Do you know what's wrong?", Kevin looked at Vivien, who was sitting next to him, as he gathered the information and evidence on the table. At the end of this trial just, Vivien has begun to move towards a disadvantage.

When His Excellency the Governor was alive, he was very fond of collecting these works of art, and they were fine works, in fact, they were more of an investment than a collection. These works of art were out of reach for ordinary people, including some merchants of the time. The works of great artists with extraordinary skills and prestige were not eligible to be purchased by merchants, only by nobles and royalty.

Of course, as with many regulations, it is doubtful whether they can be implemented.

At that time, in order to seek a monopoly way, many merchants sent a piece of art to the Governor's Palace for "tasting" to His Excellency the Governor, in exchange for the monopoly of a certain commodity in the state, and His Excellency the Governor has collected many good things over the years. Good things naturally need better maintenance, and the way of collecting is also very crucial, some things are afraid of moisture, but some things are afraid of drying, but there are also some things that cannot be wet and cannot be dried.

This requires a professional to be in charge of these great kinds of works of art, and His Excellency the Governor has two such conservation specialists, or artists who have never made their mark. They took the salary given to them by His Excellency the Governor, and while protecting the works of art for His Excellency the Governor, they pursued their own art, so that their descendants forgot what art was, and were more professional in its maintenance.

Vivien's two older brothers bribed them to prove that all the artworks hanging in the corridors and rooms of the Doge's Palace were the contents of the collection. His Excellency the Governor would change some of them every once in a while, so in His Excellency the Governor's oral testament, these things should have belonged to her brothers, and they all belonged to the classification of "works of art" in the oral testament of His Excellency the Governor.

This was shared by some members of the jury, and the judge seemed to be leaning.

Vivien shook her head blankly, she didn't know what the problem was.

Kevin packed his things and put them in his bag, he stood up and walked outside, saying as he went, "The problem is that you didn't spend enough money! If you were willing to come up with more money, you wouldn't be in the situation after buying these two witnesses, but fortunately, today is only their first appearance, and they don't confide in a lot, and we still have a way to recover this game, you need to spend more money." ”

Vivien also stood up and walked outside after Kevin, "How much will it cost?"

In fact, she is not greedy for those valuable works of art, and the main reason why she and her brothers have a court against Bo Gong is that the attitude of those two bastards has changed dramatically after the death of His Excellency the Governor, and at the same time she just wants to keep what she has now, these are the things that His Excellency the Governor gave her, not in value, but in feelings.

It was always said that regret was only realized after the loss, and it was only after the Governor left that Vivien began to recall that hiding behind her father as a child was like hiding in the safest place, and that sense of security that cannot be described in words will not be forgotten for a long time. She wanted to keep everything that His Excellency the Governor had given her, whatever it was.

Kevin's footsteps paused, and he turned to look at Vivien, "It's not up to me, it's up to the appetite of those witnesses. If they can easily satisfy a few thousand dollars, they can choose to shut up, or say something inclined to us. But if they have a big appetite, maybe tens of thousands. ”

"I gave it, I want to see the effect of this money as soon as possible!"

Tens of thousands of dollars were a tiny fraction of Vivien's wealth, and not only did she have the jewels and houses that His Excellency the Doge had given her, but she was also worth a lot of money. Many people are supporting the feminist movement, and as the initiator and leader of the feminist movement in Canleth, she has received donations from many organizations and individuals. The money can be said to be a feminist organization, or it can be said to be hers, after all, when she followed the trend to promote the feminist movement, His Excellency the Governor asked her to register the feminist organization.

This is already a social organization similar to a social movement foundation, rather than a group of loose individuals with no organizational structure. Then as the owner of this organization, Vivien has the power to distribute the money.

The car keys in Kevin's hand flew twice with the movement in his hand, "Wait for my good news!"

After dinner in the evening, Kevin followed the information he had gathered to the home of one of the craftsmen who specialized in the maintenance of the art, this fellow lived in the upper town of Ordor, and it was evident that he and his family had benefited from His Excellency the Doge over the years. It is no wonder that His Excellency the Governor, after all, is old, and his memory will have some problems with aging, and he may be able to recall the awkward deep exchange on a particular night when he was sixteen, but he may not be able to remember how many people gave him many things on his forty-second birthday.

Some of his extensive collection he liked and impressed him deeply, and some he didn't, such as a merchant who gave him a male statue from the Origin Period. He didn't like the statue and its overly gendered features, but that didn't stop the somewhat exaggerated statue, which had been portrayed in parts, from fetching for a staggering price.

It only takes one thing to come up with, and it's enough for an ordinary person's family to squander it for a lifetime!

Crossing the verdant turf, Kevin stopped and crouched on the gravel path, reached out and folded a piece of grass, crushed it, and sniffed it on the tip of his nose, then he turned over the turf, examined the bottom of the turf with the help of the bright street lamp, and stood up.

He stood outside the door of Mr. Nells' house with his hands clapped, rang the doorbell, and waited for about two minutes for the door to open a small crack, and Mr. Nells, forty-one, looked only thirty-four or five years old, and was very well maintained. He glanced at the visitor outside the door and said with some displeasure, "I know you, Attorney Kevin, if you have anything to talk about until the next court session." ”

As soon as he was about to close the door, Kevin shoved his briefcase into the crack in the door, "Mr. Niles, it only takes a minute, I'll leave when I'm done." ”

Niles hesitated for a moment, giving up the idea of closing the door, and behind him came his wife's inquiry and the voice of the young man, he was perfunctory, and then walked out of the room, "Let's go outside and talk, and you will leave when you are done." ”

The two walked into the yard, the neighbors were staying at home, Kevin looked at the surroundings and the road where there were no pedestrians, and he asked in a low voice with a smile, "How much does it cost to revise the testimony?"

Niles waited for about ten seconds before he hesitated as if he didn't understand, "What did you just say...... Are you asking me to give perjury?", he shook his head, "I didn't expect a lawyer as famous as you would use such a trick, the judicial system of the empire is really disappointing." He turned to leave, but Kevin stopped him.

"Mr. Nells, as far as I know, your salary was eighty-five dollars a month when Your Excellency the Governor was alive, was it?" Nells did not stop and continued to walk towards the house, Kevin was not in a hurry at all, and continued, "You must be very fond of flowers and plants, these turfs are very beautiful. ”

I don't know which word in this sentence has a magical effect like a spell, Mr. Nells's footsteps stopped, he turned around slowly, and there was already some irritability on his face, "What do you want to say?", his tone was a little irritable, which proved Kevin's point.

He pointed to the turf under his feet and said, "I also use this kind of turf, one dollar per square meter, about seventy or eighty square meters here?"

"I don't understand what you're trying to say, what do you want to tell me?", Nelles was already visibly angry, and he turned to leave again, but Kevin's voice rang out again.

"As far as I know, you have been claiming that your wife does not have a job and is taking care of the family at home, so with your income you can't afford this kind of turf, you have to replace it every three weeks, so you have to replace it four times in three months, I don't know if your backyard is also this kind of turf, and the cost of replacing these turf alone exceeds your income. Mr. Nelles, if someone accuses you of stealing art from the Doge's Palace, do you think the judge will believe it?"

At this moment, Niles's face finally changed dramatically, he suppressed the throbbing in his heart, walked back to Kevin's side, approached him very fiercely, and glared at him, "Be careful of your mouth, this is not a court, I am not a judge, I will not listen to your nonsense and not beat you!"

Kevin stuck out his left cheek and pointed to his face, "Here, give me a punch and prove that you are a man." ”

Niles clenched his fists, but finally gave up on the plan, knowing how much trouble he would have to do with this punch, and the lawyers would not let him go until he went bankrupt.

"It seems that you are not going to give me a punch, so do you think about my suggestion, how much will you need to revise your testimony?", Kevin looked at Niles, stared at him for a long time, and then said slowly, "Or do you have anything else you want to say to me?"

He felt that there might be other things in this that he didn't understand, and that if Niels had just been moved by Vivien's brother or taken a favor, he would have been relieved by now, but it was clear that there were other things that had happened to him.
