Chapter 21: The Tanuki Changing the Prince
In the evening, Zhou Xianqing took Liao Rengang and a group of his subordinates to the bar, booked a private room, and called a few barmaids to drink together. Zhou Xianqing happily held a cigar in his mouth and kept pushing and changing glasses with everyone.
After a while, Zhou Xianqing called Liao Rengang to the side and asked, "Lawyer Liao, is there no problem with the next appraisal?" ”
Liao Rengang smiled and replied, "Please rest assured about this matter!" ”
Zhou Xianqing asked quietly: "The handwriting on that will is really the old man's?" ”
Liao Rengang replied affirmatively: "It is definitely Chairman Zhou's handwriting, like a fake!" ”
Zhou Xianqing laughed a few times, picked up a glass of wine, and said, "Lawyer Liao, this matter is well done!" Come, I'll toast you! ”
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou! Then, remember to keep what you promised! Liao Rengang responded as he finished his glass of wine.
Zhou Xianqing finished drinking, patted Liao Rengang on the shoulder, and said, "No problem!" As long as I inherit the property and become the chairman of the Liangdong Group, I will give you what I said. ”
Zhou Xianqing took a puff of his cigar and asked seductively, "Lawyer Liao, how did you do it?" Could it be that the will was originally true, and the meaning in it was really the old man's true thoughts? ”
Liao Rengang smiled slightly and replied: "Mr. Zhou, with all due respect, my little brother is blunt, don't see outside, your self-confidence is too explosive!" Do you really think Chairman Zhou would like you to be the chairman of Liangdong Group? ”
Zhou Xianqing laughed and said, "I like to deal with you cultural people, and it is very appropriate to describe things!" Zhou Xianqing then asked, "Then what do you tell me about?" ”
Liao Rengang looked around and felt that there were too many people, so he didn't answer.
Seeing this, Zhou Xianqing made a gesture and said to a few of his subordinates and the escort girl: "You all go out first, and I will call you later." ”
After everyone else went out, Liao Rengang smiled weirdly and said, "Mr. Zhou, have you heard of invisible ink?" ”
"What ink? Invisible ink? I haven't really heard of that. I rarely write with a pen, so how do I know what ink? ”
"Invisible ink is a type of ink that is written on paper and disappears after a while." Liao Rengang said, while dipping a drop of wine in the wine glass with his right index finger, writing a few random strokes on the table, and then continued, "Just like this, you won't be able to see what I wrote later." ”
In the dim light, Liao Rengang approached Zhou Xianqing's ear and told the origin of Zhou Yuanliang's will.
That morning, Zhou Yuanliang called Liao Rengang to the office to inquire about the will. Zhou Yuanliang asked Liao Rengang: "Lawyer Liao, I want to make a will." Is the will handwritten, or is it typed into a computer and printed on a printer? ”
"Whether it's handwritten or printed, as long as it's the true expression of the chairman. If you print it, you can sign it at the back, press a fingerprint on the signature, and then write the date, then the legal effect of printing is the same as that of handwriting. Liao Rengang explained.
Zhou Yuanliang was silent for a while, couldn't make up his mind, and continued to ask: "You are a lawyer, you have seen a lot of things, do you think it is better to write by hand or printed?" ”
"Chairman Zhou, I suggest that it is good to use printing. If it is handwritten, it is easy to be modified by others on some words and numbers. ”
"Oh, easy to modify? What do you mean? Zhou Yuanliang asked in surprise.
"There is a story in history that the edict of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty was passed on to the fourteenth elder brother, and later the 'ten' on the edict was changed to 'Yu', and the meaning of the edict became the fourth elder brother, and there was the later Yongzheng Emperor. Of course, this is just a legend, and there are many flaws in it, and we don't need to delve into it. I give this example to say that handwriting is easy to tamper with, and it only takes one or two strokes to change the meaning, and it is still very difficult to identify. ”
Zhou Yuanliang sat on a chair and listened quietly.
Liao Rengang looked at Zhou Yuanliang, and then said, "And the printed one is different. The text printed on the paper is very difficult to modify, if you want to do the printed text, the traces of modification will be more obvious, and the handwritten ink and the printed ink will have some differences in color, which is easy to expose. In contrast, printed wills are less likely to be tampered with. ”
After listening to Liao Rengang, Zhou Yuanliang nodded and said, "Lawyer Liao has a point. I'll come tomorrow to make a will, and I'll print it on a printer when that happens. Go ahead and get busy with yours. ”
"Okay." Liao Rengang agreed, looked at the inkjet printer on Zhou Yuanliang's desk, and walked out of Zhou Yuanliang's office.
In the afternoon of the same day, Liao Rengang took advantage of Zhou Yuanliang's absence in the office, under the pretext of going in to put the information, and asked the staff of the General Department to open the door of Zhou Yuanliang's office. After entering the door, Liao Rengang quickly came to Zhou Yuanliang's desk, took off the ink cartridge of the printer on the table, took out the ink cartridge he brought from his trouser bag, replaced it, and then immediately left Zhou Yuanliang's office.
The next day, Zhou Yuanliang came to the office, followed Liao Rengang's advice, and drafted a will on the computer. Contents: "Will. My Zhou Yuanliang's property is distributed in the following way: my eldest son Zhou Xianquan accounts for 70 percent of my shares in the group company, my second son Zhou Xianqing accounts for 30 percent of my shares in the group company, and the other property belongs to his wife Tong Xiaojin. ”
After printing it out, Zhou Yuanliang wrote "Zhou Yuanliang" on the blank part of the lower right side of the paper with a signature pen, dipped the red ink ink with the thumb of his right hand, stamped it on the name, and then wrote the date on the next line.
Zhou Yuanliang carefully looked at the full text of the will again, then put the will into a large envelope, sealed it with glue, wrote the word "will" with a signature pen on the envelope, and put the envelope in the drawer of the table.
In the afternoon, Liao Rengang, who had been paying attention to Zhou Yuanliang's movements, immediately made an excuse to enter Zhou Yuanliang's office after Zhou Yuanliang went out, and found the will in the desk drawer.
Speaking of this, Liao Rengang picked up his wine glass and said to Zhou Xianqing: "Mr. Zhou, I also toast you!" ”
Zhou Xianqing also picked up his wine glass, toasted with Liao Rengang, and said, "You go on." ”
"After taking out the envelope, I gently opened the sealed envelope with a blade and saw that the handwriting on it was gone."
Zhou Xianqing interjected: "The handwriting has really disappeared? ”
Liao Rengang replied, "It's gone!" Except for Chairman Zhou's signature, date and fingerprints, everything else is gone! The cartridge I replaced the first day was the one I modified, and it was filled with invisible ink, and the handwriting would disappear after two hours. ”
"It's kind of interesting." Zhou Xianqing patted Liao Rengang on the shoulder and said.
Liao Rengang looked up at the door of the private room, and leaned into Zhou Xianqing's ear and said, "I immediately replaced the ink cartridge of the printer and replaced the original ink cartridge." In Chairman Zhou's computer, I found the electronic document of the will, modified the contents of it, and then reprinted it on the paper signed by Chairman Zhou, which is the one you see. In this way, a will with Chairman Zhou's autograph came out! ”
"Hahaha...... Wonderful! Zhou Xianqing laughed happily, and suddenly, Zhou Xianqing suppressed his smile and asked anxiously, "Did the old man find out that the content of the will had been modified later?" ”
Liao Rengang replied: "Mr. Zhou rest assured! In order not to arouse Chairman Zhou's suspicion, when I modified the electronic document of the will, I did not save it at that time, I printed out the will, clicked the revocation button, and the content of the document returned to the original content of Chairman Zhou. Even if Chairman Zhou later opened the electronic file to check the contents of the will, he would definitely not have any doubts. ”
Zhou Xianqing was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is the file on the old man's computer still there?" Isn't it different from the content of this will! ”
"On the day of Chairman Zhou's accident, I immediately went to Chairman Zhou's office and changed the content of the will on the computer to the same as the current will. Mr. Zhou can rest assured! ”
Zhou Xianqing picked up his wine glass and said, "Lawyer Liao, it's very thoughtful, it's seamless!" I didn't find the wrong person! Come, let's have a good time working together, and have another drink! ”
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou, no, thank you Chairman Zhou for the compliment!" Liao Rengang said as he had another drink with Zhou Xianqing.
"Hahaha...... Chairman Zhou! That's a nice title! Zhou Xianqing laughed a few times, and then said to Liao Rengang, "Lawyer Liao, you go first." There are a lot of people here, and it's not good to be seen by the people of the group. ”
Liao Rengang let out a "hmm" and walked out of the private room.
Zhou Xianqing called back his subordinates and the wine girl, and began to drink again. Zhou Xianqing waved his hand from a subordinate named "Fan Li", Fan Li came to Zhou Xianqing's side, Zhou Xianqing said a few words close to Fan Li's ear, and Fan Li quickly came out of the private room.
Zhou Xianqing took a puff of his cigar, raised his head, spit out a smoke ring, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.
