invisible witness

Chapter 40 Shuangling Mountain

"What does my elder brother say?" Jiang Weilan raised her eyes and asked Liu Ying.

"Actually, the captain also thinks the suspect's suicide is weird, but... we don't have any evidence to support this point of view. Case 107 is still under deadline. Now that the murderer has been found, we can only close the case like this. I'm here today to inform Chen Qinglin's." Liu Ying looked at her watch: "I won't talk to you for now, I have to rush back to report to work! I'll contact you another day!"

As she spoke, Liu Ying waved her hands at the two of them, turned around and left quickly.

"Gu Xiao...what do you think?"

Looking at the back of Liu Ying going away, Jiang Weilan turned around and asked Gu Xiao beside her.

"It's time for me to eat lunch."

Gu Xiao's answer was irrelevant to the question.

Jiang Weilan was stunned.

At this time, Gu Xiao had already walked ahead of her, and his tone was very calm: "You should also think about what to eat at noon, don't forget... we are just lawyers."

Investigate?

It is impossible to investigate the case!
unless……

The client adds money!
Gu Xiao: Yes, if the client is as generous as Yu Xue, I don't mind changing the law firm into a detective firm.

Jiang Weilan: ...

…………

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Weilan and Gu Xiao had an untimely lunch, after that... Gu Xiao went back to the law firm alone.

That's right, just one person.

Because he gave Jiang Weilan a holiday!

"You have worked hard these two days. Tomorrow...maybe there is still a tough battle to fight. You should go back this afternoon and have a good rest."

Before leaving, Gu Xiaoyu patted Jiang Weilan's shoulder earnestly.

For a moment, Jiang Weilan even felt that Gu Xiao was very similar to Lao Yang.

Well, as expected of Lao Yang's most promising apprentice!

After parting with Gu Xiao, Jiang Weilan walked for a while and got on the bus home. There were very few people on the bus at this time, and there happened to be a young couple sitting in front of Jiang Weilan. Talking in a low voice, very tender and sweet.

"How about asking my little sister to have a picnic this weekend?"

There are still more than ten stops to get home, Jiang Weilan was bored looking at the scenery outside the car window, and the voice of the young couple came to his ears again——

"Picnic? Where are you going? Linghu or Wangshan?" The boy's voice was very calm, as if he had no interest.

"Spirit Lake, you can take a boat tour! I don't want to go to Wangshan, it's too far away, and Wangshan is a bit remote. I heard... someone died before!"

As the girl spoke, her voice became quieter, as if she was a little scared.

"Nonsense, Wangshan is the most famous scenic spot in our Baihe City, and it has been developed well in the past two years. If it is remote, I think the Shuangling Mountain is remote!" the boy retorted.

Shuangling Mountain...

Jiang Weilan, who was sitting behind the two of them, stared blankly.

She remembered something—

Six years ago, when she woke up in the hospital, her mind was blank and she only vaguely remembered her name.

The others... all don't remember.

Later, the eldest brother told her that she went out to play with her classmates, and then fell off a cliff due to some accidents.

And the place where they played at that time was Shuangling Mountain!
Shuangling Mountain!
Jiang Weilan recalled the scene that she vaguely "saw" in her time memory——

It was a lush forest.

The scene of the murder and burial... Maybe it's in Shangshuangling Mountain?
…………

Half an hour later, Jiang Weilan had already returned home and changed into sportswear and hiking shoes.

At this time, the door of the house was suddenly pulled open, Jiang Haoqin stood at the door, staring fixedly at Jiang Weilan who was changing shoes at the shoe cabinet.

"Why are you at home? No, where are you going?"

"Big brother!"

Seeing that the eldest brother came back, Jiang Weilan was also taken aback, a little surprised.

"Why did you come back so early today? I was just about to go out."

"The team is on vacation." Jiang Haoqin didn't go into too much detail.

The suspect in case 107 committed suicide, and the case has entered the closing process. This time... it should be the real case closing.

As for Chen Yue's case, a notice came from above this morning, and it was to be handed over to the special case team to solve it.

Jiang Haoqin and his team have been busy these days, and they can finally rest for two days.

"I'm on vacation? What a coincidence, I'm also on vacation this afternoon." Jiang Weilan smiled at her elder brother: "So I'm going to go climbing."

climb mountains?

Jiang Haoqin frowned: "Who are you going with?"

Won't……

Is it Gu Xiao?

"Myself!" Jiang Weilan replied. At this moment, she was missing Liu Qian a little bit, and she didn't know when she would be able to return to China.

"wait for me a while."

Jiang Haoqin left a word, turned around and rushed into the room without even changing his shoes.

This……

The floor I just mopped this morning!

Jiang Weilan angrily stared at the direction where Jiang Haoqin left, and after a few minutes, Jiang Haoqin had already changed into a tracksuit and rushed out again.

"I'll go with you!"

"Ah?" Jiang Weilan glanced at Jiang Haoqin: "You just came back, don't you need to take a good rest?"

Although the eldest brother seemed to be in good spirits, Jiang Weilan could still see the tiredness hidden in his eyes.

"It's okay, let's go out for a walk, just to get some fresh air. Let's go!"

With that said, Jiang Haoqin pulled Jiang Weilan and walked out.

"Okay then, but... don't think that I'll let you go if you accompany me to climb the mountain, at night...you wipe the floor for me!" Jiang Weilan said in a serious tone.

Jiang Haoqin: ...

This is really my own sister.

**
"Where are you going to climb the mountain? Looking at the mountain?"

When they got downstairs, Jiang Haoqin asked Jiang Weilan a question while starting the car.

Baihe City is a city with mountains and rivers, and the most famous scenic spot is naturally Wangshan, which has developed very well in recent years.

"Go to Shuangling Mountain."

Jiang Weilan got into the car with ease, sat on the co-pilot, and fastened her seat belt.

"Shuangling Mountain?"

Jiang Haoqin paused slightly: "Why do you suddenly want to go there?"

Is it...

Is it because after she met Wang Li again...what did she remember?
"There's no reason, it's just that I suddenly want to go mountain climbing. Life lies in exercise!" Jiang Weilan smiled faintly.

about those memories...

She still has a lot of doubts to solve for the time being, so she didn't tell her elder brother immediately.

"alright."

Jiang Haoqin didn't ask any more questions, just started the car and drove away quickly...

**
On the outskirts of Baihe City, Shuangling Mountain.

This is a pure natural mountain forest scenic spot with a quiet environment. Because it has not been fully developed, it is currently only a forest park and no tickets are charged.

There are no major roads on the mountain, they are all rugged paths, so cars can only be parked in the parking lot at the entrance of the park.

In the afternoon, the sun was a little bit hot at this time, and there were not many people at the foot of the mountain.

Jiang Haoqin took a peaked cap from the car and put it on Jiang Weilan's head, Jiang Weilan smiled at him, and the siblings went up the mountain one after the other.
