Chapter 1392 1392. Lawyer (15)

The location of the Cherokee tribe should not be far away from this stream. Li Du estimated that the confrontation time between them was only 40 minutes, and the Indian troops had already arrived.

They were really good at mountain warfare, and they first launched an encirclement circle, cutting off the retreat of Li Du and his party.

A dozen Indians appeared below them, one whistled, and a dozen more appeared above them.

These people leaned against the big tree as a cover, either bowed their bows and set arrows, or held spears in their hands, and some had flying spears hanging from their waists, and they were already in a fighting posture.

Seeing this, Li Du was startled, and said, "Oops, we are under attack!"

Firecracker smiled confidently: "No problem, boss, there is no pressure to kill here!"

Li Du didn't want to exchange fire, and he didn't want to offend these Indians. After all, he went up the mountain this time with the intention of taking a vacation, hoping that the trip would be easier, and he didn't want to conflict with anyone.

After the Indian troops arrived, the man with the feathers on his head became proud again, but this time it was not his turn to speak, a thick and burly man stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Who is the person in charge, come out and have a chat!"

Brother Lang was about to go out in fear of danger, but Li Du stopped him and shook his head: "No, I don't think they might want to go to war."

He walked out, but the burly man didn't say much to him, but waved his hand, and then a white man in a suit and hiking shoes came out wiping his sweat.

The man came out with a briefcase in his hand, sweating and panting, and asked, "Hello, sir, what's your name?"

Li Du said: "My surname is Li, what is your name?"

The man smiled and said: "Mr. Li, my name is Claude, you can call me Lawyer Claude, I am the jurisdictional lawyer of the Wrathful Cattle Tribe, and I work for the Halverton Law Firm in Pittsburgh. Nice to meet you." you."

Listening to his self-introduction, Li Du blinked his eyes. What are the Indians doing? How did they push out the lawyer?

Claude walked towards him while talking. The other party was a lawyer. Li Du didn't need to be on guard. Facing his outstretched hand, he extended his hand in the same way.

"Are you here for mountain climbing or hunting?" The lawyer asked casually, holding his hand. "I guess you are here for hunting? There are enough weapons and equipment."

Li Du said: "No, we're here to play, just wander around."

After the Indians said that this was their tribe's private land, Li Du became wary. The lawyer seemed easy-talking, but he was actually not a good person. He was trying to set him up.

Hunting was not allowed on private land, and the prey here belonged to the state and landowners. If Li Du said that he came to hunt, he would be charged with an additional crime if he had to face Bo Gong's court later.

The lawyer laughed and said, "You guys came here for tourism, why did you hunt down the giant rock snapping turtle, the tribe's protected animal? And you also poured the turtle's blood into the stream. This is deliberately provoking the tribe of angry cows!"

Li Du took off the snapping turtle shell on his back in surprise and said, "This is what you're talking about? The boulder-gnawing turtle? Isn't this an ordinary snapping turtle?"

Brother Wolf has identified it. This is not a protected animal, but a snapping turtle that is quite common in North American forests and swamps.

"It's really a common snapping turtle in terms of species classification, but here, it's the property of the Cherokee people and it's an important animal to them," the attorney said.

He introduced to Li Du that the Cherokee people had the custom of hunting snapping turtles, just like some tribes in Africa hunted lions, and people regarded juvenile hunting snapping turtles as a rite of passage.

After hunting the snapping turtle, the turtle shell becomes the treasure of the hunter's family. They will use the turtle shell as a weapon, and also as a proof of the division of strength. The bigger the turtle shell, the stronger the person's strength.

In addition, they will engrave the shells with important events in their lives and their growth in age. As the above content increases, this turtle shell will become more and more important.

Finally, when the owner of the tortoise shell dies, the tortoise shell will be buried with him.

Listening to the lawyer's introduction, Li Du was greatly surprised: "This snapping turtle still has so much attention?"

No wonder the first batch of Indians got angry when they saw him. It turned out that it was because of the carapace he was carrying.

The lawyer nodded: "Yes, you killed the boulder snapping turtle and polluted the stream with its blood. This is a provocation to the people who are angry with the cattle."

Li Du smiled wryly, how could he know these rules? He didn't even know that the creek would flow into the tribe's settlement.

According to his estimate, the Indians should have noticed the presence of animal blood in the creek first, felt that it was polluted, and came up the stream to find people.

After they found them, the Indians became even angrier when they found that there was a snapping turtle carapace on Li Du's back.

"How should things be resolved?" he asked.

"You trespassed on the land of the angry cattle, violated their property, and shot their people, it's a very difficult matter," the lawyer said.

Li Du sighed: "Then we can only go to court, right? Then, I will call my lawyer and ask him to chat with you to see how the matter can be resolved."

He took out his satellite phone, which had a signal, and called his personal lawyer, Neuberger.

Claude answered the phone and chatted with Neuberger. After a few words, Claude, who was standing on a stone at random, became serious.

The phone was finally returned to Li Du, and Neuberger was still on the phone: "Boss, don't listen to what they say, I checked just now, the tribe of Angry Cows has no legal territory!"

Professional work still has to be handed over to professional people. After listening to Neuberger's words, Li Du relaxed.

Now the problem has changed from his breaking the law to the Indians messing around, and the initiative has changed all of a sudden.

Claude's professional skills were not as good as Neuberger's. The two lawyers had a confrontation on the phone, and Neuberger had the upper hand.

After Li Du hung up the phone, Claude said, "Mr. Li, how do you deal with today's matter?"

Li Du felt confident now that he didn't break the law, so he didn't have to be afraid of the other party, so he asked back, "What do you think?"

Claude said: "I will go to discuss with the tribe's patriarch first, and then give you an answer, okay? I will try to minimize the possibility of conflict and try to resolve this conflict peacefully."

Li Du nodded, and Claude went back to chat with the burly Indian man, biting his ear.

The big man sometimes shook his head and sometimes nodded, and finally Claude came back and said: "After my fight, the patriarch means that you will pay a thousand dollars in compensation, and at the same time promise to leave this forest."

This result is indeed a result of fighting for it. Li Du thinks he can accept it. Although they did not violate the law, everything seems to be caused by the Indians, but there are Indian camps here after all. According to the law, they are fine, but according to the rules of the Indians Not necessarily still.
