Therefore, Zhou Zhi explained to Liang Pingyi that the statues of warriors and maids were actually in the same line with the style of the Tang Dynasty in terms of painting and carving, and were even very similar to the carving styles of the Six Horses of Zhaoling and Qiu Xinggong with his arrow drawn. Judging from the coloring, the warrior portrait and the maid portrait were painted by the same artist. Liang Pingyi still felt that it would be difficult to support this as a legal basis.
Because neither the judge, lawyer nor the jury have professional levels of art appreciation and cultural relic style appraisal, it is difficult to see these things that Zhou Zhi can see.
“Now there is a scientific identification method at the University of Hong Kong.” Seeing that the two methods of identification of artistic style, carving techniques and stone identification were not feasible, Zhou Zhi turned his attention to the colors used in the statues: “We Can we determine the connection between them by analyzing the remaining colors on the maid statues and the color components of the warrior statues? "
"If this is the case, then we need to take samples from the stone statues?" Liang Pingyi asked. .
“Today’s technology can use optical spectrum to analyze components. You only need to illuminate it with light and then collect data. It will not harm the image itself.”
"But there is still a problem." Liang Pingyi said: "Why should Lu Lirong cooperate with us in conducting such a test? This in itself will be detrimental to him."
"Didn't he say that the statue was passed down from his ancestors? Zhou Zhi said: "In this case , then our proposal to conduct a scientific test should be beneficial to him."
"But now we can basically conclude that this old boy is pretending to be confused. Didn't Wanqiu say everything through the color at the bottom of the statue? Eroded soil flowers will suffice Can you tell that the statue itself was just unearthed? Of course he won’t cooperate with us!”
“But that’s not what he claims to the outside world!” Zhou Zhi said, “Then can we take advantage of this? First, defeat him in public opinion ? ! He swore that it was an ancestral thing, but if he didn’t even dare to do scientific testing, does it mean that he has a guilty conscience? "
"He still cares about this?" Liang Pingyi said: "He is a habitual criminal. ! ”
"We don't want him to care at all!" Zhou Zhi said: "We only want the people of Hong Kong Island to care, know the truth, and stand on our side!"
"Wouldn't this force him to go to the United States? Now he has Contact Kerry at Siti Auction House!"
"That's right..." Zhou Zhi pondered again, and then suddenly said: "No, if that's the case, that would be great!"
" What?" Liang Pingyi was dumbfounded: "He brought the cultural relics to the United States for auction, but it was really lost. How could it be good?!"
Zhou Zhi laughed and said: "The situation in Hong Kong Island is quite special now. To use the old saying, ' The overall situation is stable, and stability trumps everything else', Therefore, it is better to do less than to do more. We cannot use some of our power on Hong Kong Island, otherwise it will be easy for Lu Lirong to take advantage of it and get involved in other aspects. I think Mr. Li is also worried about this aspect if he does not take action. "

"But things will be different when they arrive in the United States. Our Cultural Heritage Administration, Ministry of Public Security, and Ministry of Foreign Affairs can all negotiate. We have all signed relevant UNESCO agreements and need to act within the legal framework. Both parties are With a formal enemy, work will be much easier to carry out."
"This seems to be an idea!" Liang Pingyi finally came to his senses. Everyone has fallen into a fixed mindset, thinking that they cannot let this thing get any further away from the country and must be on guard. However, no one thought that during this special period, the matter would be handled in Hong Kong Island and in the United States. The difference is huge. He stood up and said, "I'm going to report to my superiors right now!"
At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door.
Liang Pingyi walked over and opened the door, but there was a gentle young man in a suit and leather shoes with a briefcase under his arm and black-rimmed glasses: "HELLO, I am Ms. Lin's lawyer Tony Huang. She said you There may be some information about Hong Kong Island and internationally I need consultation on legal issues. Send me here to cooperate with you."
"That's great." Liang Pingyi stretched out his hand to shake hands with the young man, then turned to Zhou Zhi and said in surprise, "Elbow. We have legal counsel.”
But he saw that Zhou Zhi had collected all the information on the table into a pile, and then put Liang Pinyi's briefcase on it: "Let's confirm our identity first." "Ah this..." Liang Pinyi froze there. , I didn’t expect Zhou Zhi to be so vigilant.
Zhou Zhi had already found his big brother and called Lin Wanqiu: "Sister Wanqiu, there is a young man who said he was the lawyer you sent here...Ah, I am so thin. He has a 37-inch tilt and wears square-framed black-rimmed glasses. He said that he..." He reached out and crossed his fingers: "Look at the business card."
The young man quickly typed it. Opening the bag, he took out his business card and handed it over. Zhou Zhi took a look at it and whistled softly: "It's from Fude... Ah, the name of Fude Law Firm is printed on the business card, big name, Tony Huang. Oh, Okay, okay, that's okay."
Hang up the phone, Zhou Zhi said to Liang Pingyi: "Brother Liang, let him in, he's fine."
Tony Huang was frightened by Zhou Zhi, and he walked in cautiously with his bag in his arms. As soon as he sat down, Zhou Zhi said: "The case is serious, Comrade Huang should be able to understand it, right?"
This year's seventh year In August, Jet Li's "The Bodyguard of Zhongnanhai" won the first prize in Hong Kong Island. It was a good box office hit. This movie also strengthened the stereotype of Hong Kong people towards the staff of mainland government agencies that they had just started to interact with. The same was true for Tony Wong. Seeing Zhou Zhi with such a serious expression on his face, he couldn't help but become nervous. Sitting on the sofa with legs together Together, he stuttered in broken Mandarin: "Then... those two... are the same. I, Hei Wuhei, want to introduce Curriculum Vitae first, ah no, resume and... Kikugami... Sandai?" < br>
“Elbow, this guy What are you talking about?"
"Hahahaha..." Zhou Zhi finally couldn't help it: "He was just asking if he wanted to hand over his resume and three generations of his ancestors, hahahaha..."
< br>"What age is this!" Liang Minyi had a black line on his forehead.
Zhou Zhi then switched to Cantonese: "How about we just speak Cantonese, you are too tired like this."
Tony Huang then breathed a sigh of relief: "It turns out that Zhou Sheng can speak Cantonese, so it will be much easier for us to communicate. "
Just after passing the business card, Zhou Zhi already knew that Tony Wong was the "big officer" of Fude Law Firm, the largest law firm in Hong Kong Island. This is a very powerful person.
Actually, what is written on the business card is "barrister". "Barrister" is just a common name that Zhou Zhi follows the locals in Hong Kong and follows the locals.
The laws in Hong Kong are different from those in the Mainland. Lawyers are divided into two types, one is "Barrister" and the other is "Solicitor".
Barristers are also called "litigants" in legal terms, and they are the ones in TV dramas who wear wigs in court.
Barristers must wear wigs when appearing in court, and their lawyer robes are different from those of solicitors. Only barristers can hold court sessions in the High Court and Court of Final Appeal, while solicitors cannot speak in the High Court and Court of Final Appeal.
However, Hong Kong Island law also stipulates that barristers cannot take cases themselves, and all cases are transferred by solicitors. In other words, if a party wants to file a lawsuit, he must first hire a solicitor, who will then transfer the case to a barrister.
Therefore, a large law firm with both types of lawyers is very important in Hong Kong Island. In terms of status, barristers are much higher than solicitors. They belong to the elite class. If they perform well, they can be promoted to partners. The human kind. (End of this chapter)
