invisible witness

Chapter 16 The Door Is Open

In the bedroom, Chen Qinglin was sleeping like a dead pig, while next door, Zhang Lihua's body was lying on the ground, dying with regret!
How weird, how weird this scene is!

Jiang Weilan's figure was floating in the room, she tried several times to turn on the light in the bedroom, but...all ended in failure!
At this time, Jiang Weilan was very impatient in her heart, she really wanted to go to the next door and kick Chen Qinglin awake.

pity……

I can only think about it!
Everything in the room, everything in the memory of this time, she cannot touch and cannot change.

What's even more exasperating is that this is Chen Qinglin's time memory, and he can't be too far away from him.

And now he was sleeping like a dead pig, which greatly restricted Jiang Weilan's freedom of movement.

Jiang Weilan spun around in a hurry in the room where Zhang Lihua was killed. She didn't care, she used too much force, her body turned and turned, and turned into the wall. No, to be precise, she passed through the wall again.

A pair of unfamiliar faces appeared in front of Jiang Weilan——

Well, that's right, the other side of the wall is the bedroom of the neighbor's next door!
"Old man, there seemed to be some movement next door just now, did they start fighting again?"

Next door lived an old couple in their 60s. At this time, the old lady was still very energetic, and she didn't seem sleepy at all.

"Don't worry about it, go to sleep now."

The old man on the side didn't even open his eyes, and he agreed casually. The next second, there was a slight snoring sound.

This falling asleep speed!

Jiang Weilan was amazed.

"Old man? Old man?"

The old lady pushed the people around her and called out a few more times, but the only answer to her was one after another of snoring.

"Sleep and sleep, you know how to sleep all day... When you are young, you don't work hard..."

The old lady simply sat up and read aloud by herself.

Jiang Weilan felt a bit of a headache when she heard it, because the old lady's thinking was jumping, she scolded her wife for being lazy, said her son was not filial, and talked about going to bed early and getting up early, making breakfast for her daughter, sending She goes to kindergarten...

It won't be...

Alzheimer's disease?

Jiang Weilan remembered the testimony of the two neighbors in Case 107 that she had seen. It seemed that the person on the second floor who went to the police station to testify was the old man who was sleeping soundly at the moment.

This old lady... didn't testify.

Presumably it is also because she has this disease, and the next day she will not remember what happened yesterday.

Just as Jiang Weilan was thinking, she saw that the old lady had already stood up in a coat. She took a flashlight, and casually took out a pack of cigarettes and a small ashtray from the bedside drawer. He got out of the bedroom, opened the door, and smoked outside the door.

Unexpectedly, this old lady is still a smoker.

While the old lady was smoking a cigarette, she hadn't forgotten to mutter some irrelevant words, and at the stairs, the lights flickered on and off.Jiang Weilan observed for a while, and was about to leave, but saw the old lady suddenly turn around and walk a few steps towards the gate of Chen Qinglin's house.

"The door isn't closed."

She spoke suddenly.

Jiang Weilan paused as she left.

At this moment, the door of Chen Qinglin's house was clearly closed.

But the old lady kept muttering, "The door is open."

Is it...

Jiang Weilan stood at the door, her expression changing, at this moment, the old lady muttered again: "The door is not closed, it's not safe."

After repeating it twice, she turned and went back to the room.

The stairway was soon plunged into darkness again.

In the next second, Jiang Weilan also suddenly felt weightless, and everything around her gradually blurred...

She came back to reality again.

This time, Jiang Weilan slowly opened her eyes, but her face was slightly pale, as if her adaptability was constantly improving as the number of times she used this ability increased.

Jiang Haoqin at the side was looking at Jiang Weilan nervously.

As far as he was concerned, only a second had passed—

One second before, Jiang Weilan grabbed Chen Qinglin's arm, and the next second Jiang Weilan suddenly turned pale.

"Since you can't remember it, don't force yourself."

At this moment, Jiang Weilan patted Chen Qinglin's arm, then turned to look at her elder brother.

Jiang Haoqin nodded: "If there are any new discoveries, I will come to you." After speaking, Jiang Haoqin got up and was about to leave.

"Lawyer Jiang, you must help me, I really didn't kill anyone, I don't want to go to jail, I don't want to die!"

Behind him came Chen Qinglin's heart-piercing voice.

And Jiang Weilan only felt a little headache——

In the memory of the time just now.

She saw with her own eyes that Chen Qinglin was sleeping soundly next door, while Zhang Lihua was lying in a pool of blood, his eyes wide open.

Chen Qinglin was indeed innocent, but...he was not completely innocent.

Zhang Lihua married such a man in his life... What a disaster!

…………

"A man like Chen Qinglin... really hurts others and himself."

Coming out of the detention center, Jiang Weilan murmured softly, although she didn't know Zhang Lihua, even in Chen Qinglin's time memory, the Zhang Lihua she saw was so aggressive and arrogant.

But Jiang Weilan believed that she was a kind woman.

Some people look honest, responsible, and silent, but it doesn't mean that they are very easy to get along with.

And some people are irritable, argue hard, and even refuse to suffer a little bit, so it doesn't necessarily make them difficult to get along with.

Fighting for what you deserve and maintaining everything you care about is not wrong, let alone evil.

From the testimonies of the restaurant proprietress, neighbors and factory workers, it can be seen that Zhang Lihua is a responsible and courageous woman. Over the years, she and Chen Qinglin have supported each other and shared weal and woe, especially for her husband's career and future , broke my heart.

…………

"Little sister, are you okay? How about going to eat something now?"

Jiang Haoqin at the side looked at Jiang Weilan with concern at this moment, although she didn't seem to be in any serious condition, her complexion...was much worse.

At this moment, Jiang Haoqin felt a little regretful, he shouldn't have let his sister use that "supernatural power" on the spur of the moment.

The unknown is scary.

"I am fine."

Jiang Weilan recovered, put away her complicated thoughts, and looked at her elder brother seriously: "I didn't find anything at Chen Qinglin's house this time, but...his neighbors seem to know something."

Jiang Weilan told her elder brother everything she saw without reservation.

The old lady next door?
Suspected of Alzheimer's?

Jiang Haoqin recalled that when the old man next door was giving his statement, he seemed to mention that his wife was sick.

"I'll go and see for myself in a while."

Jiang Haoqin was serious.

"That old lady is sick, I wonder if she can still remember what happened that night! It's a pity that I can only use this ability once a day, or I can help..." Jiang Weilan said on the sidelines. Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Jiang Haoqin: "You have already helped me a lot, from now on...don't use that ability casually, and don't tell anyone about your ability!" Jiang Haoqin's tone was extremely solemn.

"Oh, I see."

Jiang Weilan nodded, she naturally knew the stakes in this, except for her elder brother...she would not trust anyone.
