invisible witness

Chapter 1 Duty Counsel
In this world, many people hide secrets that are unknown in their hearts. These secrets are known by heaven and earth, and... time knows them.

—— "Time Witness"

In a dimly lit room, a man wearing a pure white prison uniform was sitting on a chair with a haggard face, his eyes were fixed on the opposite door, bloodshot but full of expectation.

At this moment, the door was gently pushed open, and a girl in a black suit walked in slowly.

Seeing the girl's appearance, the man's eyes flickered, with a look of disappointment: "Who are you? I want to see my agent! I want to appeal!"

"Appeal? Why?" The girl walked in calmly and sat opposite the man.

"I didn't kill anyone! I didn't kill her!"

The man repeated what he said countless times, but... who can believe him?

"I know."

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the girl on the opposite side answered him very affirmatively, with a very calm tone: "I know that you didn't kill the man, because... I am your witness of time!"

"Hey" the man stood up in disbelief, and the next moment, everything around him began to spin, until everything became blurred...

"Well."

Jiang Weilan slowly opened her eyes on her single bed, looking at the LED light above her head, she was stunned for three seconds, then blinked her thick eyelashes, and reluctantly got up slowly.

She just... had that strange dream again.

Everything in the dream was so clear that she could still recall every subtle expression on the man's face in the dream.

but……

She can be sure that she doesn't know that man, and she has never been to that spacious and depressing place.

Maybe it's thinking by day and dreaming at night.

Jiang Weilan shook her head, then put on her slippers and got out of bed to wash.

The place where Jiang Weilan lives is a family building with two bedrooms and one living room. The house is not big, but the lighting is good. Early in the morning, there is a large beam of sunlight that shines in warmly through the glass windows.

Jiang Weilan lazily went to the dining room, and saw the food left on the table last night still intact.

The eldest brother...did not go home again and again.

As a criminal policeman, his routine is really worrying.

Jiang Weilan sighed, warmed up the meal by herself, and swept away the four dishes and one soup. After that, she changed into a small suit and hurried out.

About an hour later, Jiang Weilan got off the bus and looked at the building in front of her with a calm expression——

Baihe City, the third detention center.

That's right, this is where Jiang Weilan is currently working. As a graduate of the law department, she has just passed the examination for a lawyer's license, and follows her master to work as a duty lawyer here.

"Lawyer Xiao Jiang is here!"

The people in the detention center were already very familiar with Jiang Weilan. When they saw her figure, they immediately greeted her with a smile.

"Brother Li, you are on duty today!"

Jiang Weilan exchanged pleasantries with the people at the door, and then went straight in. There is a special office in the detention center, which is reserved for duty lawyers like them.

The so-called duty lawyer is actually a lawyer who is permanently stationed in the detention center, procuratorate or court to provide legal consultation and assistance to criminal suspects and their families.

In general, they are regularly appointed by the Legal Aid Department to be on duty.

Jiang Weilan has been working here for almost half a month, so far...not a single suspect or family member has come to seek legal advice or help.

Even... most people in this society don't even know that there are duty lawyers.

This is embarrassing.

Jiang Weilan pushed the door open and entered her office. The office was filled with a faint scent of tea. A middle-aged man in a black suit was drinking tea while casually watching the news and current events on his mobile phone.

"Master."

Jiang Weilan called out, and was about to tease Master that she changed the tea leaves again today, but at this moment, she heard a noise coming from outside the window——

Hey, another suspect was escorted over early in the morning?

Watching this battle, it was quite lively.

Jiang Weilan walked to the window subconsciously, opened the window, and wanted to hear what was going on outside, who knew that when she opened the window, she heard a very familiar sentence——

"I didn't kill, I didn't kill her!"
