At Egham Police Station, Yang Jing met the butler of the Vardy family, Mr. Bob John, again.

Accompanying Butler John to the police station was a white man in his fifties who was dressed very formally. Looking at the man's attire, Yang Jing knew that this should be Butler John's lawyer.

Sure enough, when the two men saw Yang Jing, Butler John nodded, lowered his head and said something to the lawyer. Then the lawyer called Sheriff Holmes aside, took out a stack of things from the briefcase and handed them to the sheriff. He talked to the sheriff for a long time before walking into a meeting room with Butler John.

Sheriff Holmes frowned, walked into the interrogation room with the pile of things, and sat in front of Yang Jing.

"Mr. Yang, I believe you have seen Mr. John and Lawyer Closo just now. Lawyer Closo is now reporting the case on behalf of the Vardi family, saying that you illegally obtained three valuable sketches from the Vardi Castle when you were packing up the things in the castle more than ten days ago. I am now going to conduct a routine interrogation with you, and I hope you can truthfully explain what happened that day."

Yang Jing shrugged and said, "Sheriff, I'm very sorry. I can't tell you anything before my lawyer arrives. But I can tell you one fact, that is, I have never used illegal means to obtain the three sketches in Valdi Castle. Apart from this sentence, I have nothing else to say."

Yang Jing knew that in a developed capitalist country like the UK, lawyers were a very important profession. Especially at a time like this, he must not talk too much before the lawyer came, otherwise he might cause some irreparable trouble.

Sheriff Holmes is a good-tempered person. In fact, his physique is enough to show that he is a fat man with a broad mind. Of course, it may also be related to the strong momentum that China has begun to show in recent years. The sheriff may have other ideas, so he was not annoyed by Yang Jing's words, but continued to say with a smile: "Mr. Yang, although I am reluctant to deal with lawyers, since there is a report from the reporter, then we must investigate and take over, so I advise you not to try to delay time or cover up the facts. I know there is a good saying in your country that black will always be black and will never become white. So, you'd better think about it yourself first. When your lawyer comes, I will need a very detailed explanation."

The sheriff's attitude was quite good, and there was no discrimination as rumored. Yang Jing was also happy to deal with such a person, but this was not a good time for him to speak, so he just smiled and nodded and said nothing more.

The fat man was quite efficient. Less than half an hour after Yang Jing entered the police station, the fat man walked in from outside the police station accompanied by a white man in his forties.

"Old Yang, did these policemen do anything to you? If they dare to bully you, I will make them pay!" The fat man asked anxiously when he saw Yang Jing. Of course, he used Chinese, so he was not afraid that the policemen would understand.

Yang Jing shook his head and said, "This sheriff is a nice guy. He didn't make things difficult for me. Fatty, is this the lawyer you found?"

The fat man nodded. "This is a lawyer that Professor Wilson helped to find. He is a barrister from Clifford Chance."

"Clifford Chance? So awesome?" Yang Jing asked in surprise. This Clifford Chance is not an ordinary law firm. It is one of the top law firms in the UK. Its annual revenue ranks first in the UK and third in the world. Yang Jing did not expect that the fat man would hire a lawyer from this law firm.

The fat man pouted his lips distressedly and said, "It cost me a lot of money to hire this lawyer for you. This guy charges 600 pounds an hour. Fortunately, I have never touched the money my father gave me, otherwise I really can't afford to hire him."

Yang Jing was also shocked by the cost, "Damn, so expensive?"

"It's expensive, but it has its advantages! Mr. Robert Terry is a court lawyer. If Professor Wilson didn't have a good relationship with him, he wouldn't have agreed to come and help. This price is still a friendly price. If it were someone else, his fee would be over a thousand pounds an hour. So, the more money, the more money. With Mr. Terry's help, this matter should be no problem."

Hearing what the fat man said, Yang Jing nodded, indicating that he understood.

Lawyers are considered high-income earners in the UK, but in the UK, lawyers are mostly divided into two categories. One is called consulting lawyers, who generally only provide legal advice and other assistance, and can also appear in small courts to defend. There are many such lawyers, but their income is average, with an annual salary of around 50,000 to 100,000 pounds.

But there is another very powerful lawyer, that is, the barrister. This kind of lawyer can defend on-site in the High Court. There are not many such lawyers, but they have a high income and can even be hired as royal lawyers.

If Mr. Terry is really a court lawyer, then the fee of 600 pounds per hour is really a friendly price. You should know that such lawyers can easily earn more than 300,000 pounds a year, and they are truly high-income people.

With the introduction of the fat man, Mr. Robert Terry soon started talking to Yang Jing. Of course, their conversation avoided Sheriff Holmes.

"Mr. Yang, are you sure that the three paintings were not obtained from the Valdi Castle?" Mr. Terry, with the shrewdness unique to a great lawyer, asked directly to the point.

Yang Jing nodded without hesitation and said, "Mr. Terry, I can assure you that these three sketches were not obtained from Valdi Castle. Instead, I bought them at the Greenwich Handicraft Market for three hundred pounds a few days ago. I think Chris should have shown you the purchase agreement I signed with the shop owner when I bought these paintings, right?"

Mr. Terry nodded and said, "I have read the agreement. Mr. Yang, I have to say that you have done a great job on this matter. With this agreement, you are 100% not responsible for this case today. I am confident of this."

After a pause, Mr. Terry asked Yang Jing a few more questions, and Yang Jing insisted that the three paintings were not obtained from the castle.

Mr. Terry stood up and went straight to Sheriff Holmes and started negotiating with him.

As the person involved, Yang Jing could not avoid these things, so he was always by Mr. Terry's side.
