Chapter 5 Meeting
The first person to meet was Dai Da, and after asking your condolences to change, Liang Xi got to the point.He took the old will, also sealed, out of the borrowed assistant's briefcase. The seal was open.Liang Xi put the will on the table, Dai Da glanced at the will and didn't quite understand: "Isn't the will read out by Lawyer Cook tomorrow night?"

Without answering, Liang Xi asked, "Mr. Dai...Mr. Davis, this is the situation. Have you heard that there is a little bit of rift between your father and Cook's lawyer?"

Dai thought for a while: "No, Lawyer Cook was my grandfather's lawyer at the time. I haven't heard of any rift between them."

Liang Xidao: "There is such a rumor that Lawyer Cook once had dinner with your second brother. Since then, the will managed by the lawyer has been transformed into a forbidden will. As the administrator of your father's will, you know the contents of your father's will. People, as a rule of the industry, Cook's lawyers should not have private dealings with any interested parties."

Dai Da replied, "Mr. Liang, what exactly do you do?"

Liang Xidao: "I introduced it before, I am a psychological judge."

Dai Da: "Isn't it an emotional assessor?"

Liang Xi explained: "In the industry and outsiders, we call ourselves emotional assessors. For example, before notifying the relatives of the victims, we will first evaluate the relatives' emotions, and then decide to inform them in a certain way. People-oriented Well."

Dai Da seemed to understand what Liang Xi meant and said, "Mr. Liang, I respect my father's will very much, and I can accept any terms. To be honest, I have no intention of inheriting the title, and my interest is not there. 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 poor."

Liang Si stood up and shook hands with Dai Da: "I'm sorry to bother you, if you can, please keep our conversation secret from them temporarily."

……

The second person to meet was Dai Er. After the old rules and condolences, Liang Xi took out the unsealed old will from the briefcase.Dai Er was obviously a little surprised and hesitant: "What does this mean?"

Liang Xi saw it in his eyes and said, "Mr. Davis, according to my understanding of nobles. The eldest son inherits the title, and the second son usually chooses to join the army."

Dai Er nodded casually: "There is such a saying, Cook asked you to tell me the content of the will?"

Liang Xi shook his head: "No, this is the old will. From the old will, Mr. Dai received some relatively favorable treatment. The will specifically stated that since you have been in the army for 12 years and sacrificed a lot for the family, you are better than others. 2% more assets."

Dai Er was surprised: "Is that so?"

Liang Xi laughed: "I'm sorry, Mr. Dai, I'm an emotional judge..." What is the title?

Liang Xi forgot and fooled directly: "So you need to tell some lies to understand what each prospective heir expects from the will."

Dai Er ignored Liang Xiqiu's conversation and asked with concern, "What is the content of the will?"

Liang Xidao: "Although it is an old will, it also needs the consent of Cook's lawyer to browse. Thank you for your cooperation, I am bothering you."

Liang Xi took the initiative to shake hands with Dai Er, who was a little confused.When I got back to my room, I called Cook immediately. Cook didn't tell him that the will was stolen, and just perfunctory and prevaricate it.After hanging up the phone, Cook contacted Liang Xi and asked, "Is Dai Er suspected?"

Liang Xi replied, "I don't think it was Dai Er who stole the will. Attorney Cook, is there any problem?"

Cook quickly replied: "No, no."

……

The third person Liang Xi met was Dai San. Dai San was the calmest person among his children and the quietest person.Seeing that the old will was calm, he told Liang Xi first: "I will donate my inheritance and all assets except land to charity. I don't care about the contents of the will, and I don't need a psychological evaluation. "

Liang Xi asked, "Why don't you donate the land?"

Dai San replied: "Because the land belongs to the limited inheritance, I hope that the Davis family can continue to inherit the fief from generation to generation. In addition, my father and I have expressed this wish, and I do not want my father to split the limited inheritance land. We Our ancestors left us the Davis family fief, and our descendants are obliged to guard the family fief."

Liang Xi smiled and said, "I talked to your elder brother before, and I think your family values ​​are heavier, and you are more suitable to be the heir to the title and the fief."

Dai San disagrees: "The primogeniture system is both a tradition and a law. If there is no such rule, the prospective heirs of each family can do many deplorable things in order to please the family patriarch. For example, betray their own brothers, Such as private contact with lawyers.”

Liang Xi said, "Mr. Dai seems to be referring to your second brother?"

Dai San shook his head: "I didn't mean anything. I just said that I can guarantee that I'm not a greedy person, but I can't persuade others to be a materialistic person."

Liang Si stood up and shook hands with Dai San: "Thank you." You didn't ask why I mentioned Dai Er, which means you know about it.

……

The three sons have good temperament, especially the eldest and the third are very polite.Dai Nu is not so, she is a bit domineering and speaks rudely.

Liang Xixian asked the key point: "Who do you think cares most about the content of the will among your brothers?"

Dai Nu replied without thinking: "My second brother, he is also the most ambitious person among us. After he was discharged 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 family's honor. Money. It is said that a few months ago, investing in a hedge fund suffered serious losses, borrowing a lot of money from outside, and now the whole family relies on trust funds to survive.”

Dai Nv: "And my second sister-in-law is a very vain woman. In order to match her status as a wealthy daughter-in-law, the expenses are huge, and my second brother is miserable. Their husband and wife are the ones who are most looking forward to a will."

It could be heard that Nv Dai hated the second sister-in-law, and she was kind in her comments on the second brother.He never said any bad things about the eldest brother and the third brother from beginning to end, and he was very good when he mentioned them.

It seems that there are some contradictions in the family, Dai Da and Dai San are unwilling to discuss family conflicts with Liang Xi.Dai Nu's self-cultivation is not bad. It can be seen from the fact that she can't help but speak ill of the second sister-in-law, Dai Nu has endured her for a long time.

Liang Xi asked several old maids who had worked at the earl's house for at least 15 years.They told Liang Xi that among the four children, Lady Dai was the Earl's favorite.Lady Dai is also the best in daily life, and always thinks of the Earl and his wife first when there are good things.In the ten years after the death of the earl's wife, she stayed at the manor at least one day a week to accompany the earl.

Liang Xi looked at the old will, and Dai Nv did not get more assets.The old will stated that the limited inheritance fiefs would be handed over to Dai Da, and the four children would share other assets equally.

The new will must be different from the old one, otherwise there is no need to make it again.There was only one month between the old and the new wills, and during this month, only Lady Dai had seen the Earl.Dai's company likely changed the distribution of assets in the Earl's will.Judging from Dai Nu's attitude, Dai Er is likely to be the victim of the new will.

But from the meeting with Dai Er, Liang Xi believed that Dai Er did not steal the will.
