invisible witness

Chapter 10

Tianyuan Building, [-]th Floor, Gu Qin Law Firm.

"Hello there!"

As soon as Jiang Weilan entered the door, she greeted the young lady at the front desk with a smile on her face: "I am..."

"Are you Lawyer Jiang?"

The pretty lady at the front desk glanced at Jiang Weilan's personal information that Gu Xiao sent to her yesterday, then continued with a smile on her face: "Lawyer Gu has arrived, the innermost room is his office, he is waiting for you inside! "

"OK, thanks!"

Jiang Weilan thanked her, feeling a little surprised... Has Gu Xiao gone to work so early?
At this point in time, except for the young lady at the front desk, all other desks in the office are empty.

Jiang Weilan came to Gu Xiao's office door after a while, the door was not closed tightly at this time, she knocked politely, and heard Gu Xiao's voice: "Come in!"

His voice was still deep and pleasant, but... it was a bit hoarse.

"Brother Gu Xiao."

Jiang Weilan walked in slowly, and as soon as he entered, he saw Gu Xiao behind the desk. His complexion was not very good, with heavy dark circles and bloodshot eyes.

"You... have been here all night?"

Jiang Weilan was surprised.

"got used to."

Gu Xiao raised his hand to tidy up his somewhat messy short hair, and then made a gesture to Jiang Weilan: "Sit casually for a while, and follow me from now on, I'm afraid it will be very hard, if you don't..."

"I can."

Jiang Weilan couldn't wait to answer, then she lowered her eyes to look at Gu Xiao's desk, there were all the materials of Case 107 on it, although they were just copies, they were all annotated in detail.

"What do we need to do today?" Jiang Weilan was already eager to try.

doing what?
Gu Xiao raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, then asked Jiang Weilan, "Have you had breakfast?"

"Eat...a little bit."

Jiang Weilan replied against his will.

"Okay, I'll treat you to dinner, let's go!"

With that said, Gu Xiao had already stood up, picked up the coat hanging on the side handsomely, and strode out.

Jiang Weilan also took a step forward and hastily followed Gu Xiao.

When she first entered the building, Jiang Weilan saw that there were many restaurants on the first and third floors of the building. Although she was quite full in the morning, Dr. Jiang said that she needs a lot of nutrition now!
So... another meal... shouldn't be too much, right?

Thinking of this, the little girl's eyes were full of joy, but... she went out of the office and entered the elevator. She watched Gu Xiao press the "B2" button.

The two went straight to the underground parking lot!

"boarding."

Gu Xiao's car was parked near the elevator, Jiang Weilan got into the car obediently, and sat in the back seat consciously.

Along the way, neither of them said anything, and the atmosphere was a bit dull. After all, the two of them were not very familiar with each other, and Gu Xiao was not a talkative person either.

The traffic at eight or nine o'clock in the morning can be said to be the most congested time in this small city.

Gu Xiao didn't seem impatient at all, he drove very regularly, Jiang Weilan sat drowsy in the back seat, until more than an hour later, Gu Xiao's car finally stopped slowly by the side of the road.

"arrive?"

Jiang Weilan regained her spirits all of a sudden, turned her head to look at the street outside the car window, and happened to see the plaque of a small restaurant——

Xinyue is cooking!
here……

Jiang Weilan blinked, this is the small restaurant where Chen Qinglin drank on the night of October 10th!
"get off!"

At this time, Gu Xiao had already got out of the car, Jiang Weilan shivered, and got out of the car quickly.

At this time, it was less than ten o'clock, and the general small restaurants had just opened their doors (except for breakfast restaurants, of course.)
"Boss, is it open now?"

Gu Xiao walked in front and went straight in, and asked as soon as he entered.

"It's open, you can do anything, just sit between the two of you!"

This shop is a husband and wife shop, the proprietress is a part-time waiter, very enthusiastically brought the menu to the two of them, and put it in front of Jiang Weilan with a wink.

"Look at what you like to eat, by the way, don't eat too greasy in the morning."

After Gu Xiao entered the door, he seemed to have changed into a different person, becoming very amiable.

"oh oh."

Jiang Weilan randomly ordered two side dishes, and then handed the menu to Gu Xiao very sensiblely.

In the end, Gu Xiao ordered two more dishes. I don't know if it was on purpose, but he ordered the dish that took the most time.

"Sir, look, these two dishes are big dishes... It's early in the morning, and they haven't been ready yet, so I guess we'll have to wait at least half an hour!" The proprietress looked at Gu Xiao apologetically.

"It's okay, just let us stay a little longer."

Gu Xiao smiled gently, coupled with that handsome face, the proprietress couldn't bear to look away——

What a handsome boy!It's a pity that I already have girlfriends, why don't I introduce them to my niece, but this guy's girlfriend is not bad, the girl looks like a juicy girl...

"Ma'am, are you the only two working in this store?" At this time, Gu Xiao had already taken the opportunity to chat with the lady boss, and within a few minutes, the lady boss had already moved a stool and sat beside them, chatting with him endlessly Get up!

Jiang Weilan at the side was stunned——

I didn't expect you to be such Senior Brother Gu!
Perhaps this is really a world that depends on faces, so Gu Xiao's handsome and invincible face is invincible in front of women of all ages.

Soon, Gu Xiao brought the topic to Chen Qinglin——

"Hey, about Xiao Chen... who doesn't know now!"

The proprietress thought that Gu Xiao and Jiang Weilan were also residents of this neighborhood, so she couldn't help but sigh.

"Actually, I also know Brother Chen. He specially introduced me a few days ago and asked me to come to your house for dinner! Hey! Who would have thought! He is such an honest and responsible person. He used to tell me how his sister-in-law is. Well, I didn't expect..."

At this time, Gu Xiao was possessed by a playful spirit, with a very rich expression.

"Hey, who's to say it's not? During this period of time, the police always come to ask about the day's affairs, and even took away the surveillance video of my house, but..."

The proprietress didn't know what she was thinking of, and suddenly lowered her voice: "I always feel that Xiao Chen won't kill people, right? Besides, the relationship between him and Zhang Lihua is really unusual. They have been together for so many years, and he has always He doesn’t fight back when he beats him. Sometimes when he’s drunk, he’ll talk to our family, saying that without Zhang Lihua, there would be no him. Back then, Zhang Lihua saved his life! He also said that even if Zhang Lihua did it. He doesn't blame her for anything that I'm sorry to him, it's just...that he feels aggrieved, feels that he is useless, incompetent, not a man...not capable of making Zhang Lihua live a good life..."

Once the proprietress' chatterbox is opened, it can't be closed.

Gu Xiao listened quietly at this time, and occasionally glanced at Jiang Weilan who was sitting aside.

Jiang Weilan had already quietly turned on the recording function of the phone at this time. Although these are not useful evidence, they still have some reference value.

Sometimes, the truth of many things is often pieced together slowly by relying on these scattered trivial matters.
