invisible witness

Chapter 54 The Past of Yang Zhiqiao
Gu Xiao's house is very clean, but there is no color at all——

The floor tiles are gray, the sofa, coffee table, and all the furniture are gray, and even the LCD TV hanging on the wall has a gray-black frame.

"You like gray?"

Jiang Weilan asked curiously.

"good."

Gu Xiao turned around and went to the kitchen to pick up gifts, and said as he walked, "Black gets dusty, white tends to get dirty, I think gray is good."

Jiang Weilan: ...

Love your world is only black and white gray?
But if you think about it carefully, a big man can't like dead Barbie fans, right?
and so……

Gray looks really good, and it's a tall Yazi.

"Well, here it is for you."

Gu Xiao came out of the kitchen and handed Jiang Weilan a big gift box with four big words written on it——

Xiliang specialty.

"Wow, Xiliang's beef jerky is my favorite! As expected, Lao Yang is the best."

Jiang Weilan took the gift box and asked casually, "Why did Teacher Yang go to Xiliang suddenly? That place is quite remote."

Xiliang City is far away from Baihe City. The most important thing is that there is no train or airport in that place due to geographical reasons. To go there, you have to transfer several times and take a bumpy bus for a long time.

Hearing Jiang Weilan's words, Gu Xiao lowered his eyes and looked at her: "Do you know why Teacher Yang suddenly fell silent back then?"

Jiang Weilan was startled, and subconsciously shook her head.

In her eyes, the old Yang she knew was very lazy, and he didn't like to go to court. His daily schedule was to keep in good health, he was lazy, and looked like he was passing by.

In order to retire early, Lao Yang also took the initiative to apply to be a duty lawyer.

Before meeting Gu Xiao, Jiang Weilan really thought that Lao Yang was such a person, but now...

"Mr. Yang was a very famous lawyer in Baihe City before he taught us. At that time, not only in Baihe City, but also in the legal circles across the country, Mr. Yang was also well-known. Because of this, many people came to him to sue him. There are many dignitaries."

Gu Xiao's voice sounded slowly, with a deep and pleasant voice: "Once, Mr. Yang received a murder case, and the defendant asked him to act as an attorney, and the only requirement was to defend his innocence, because...the defendant at that time was only 21 She is a girl who is still attending a key university."

21 year old college student?
Jiang Weilan listened carefully to Gu Xiao's words, and at the same time searched for similar cases.

"At that time Teacher Yang met the defendant and was also moved by the defendant, thinking that although she had a motive, the evidence was insufficient, and the defendant cried and said that he was innocent. Teacher Yang took the case and began to defend the reporter. Search for favorable evidence, and finally successfully defended her innocence, and she was released in court!"

Gu Xiao's voice continued, but the deep voice seemed to be mixed with many different emotions.

"Old Yang is indeed very powerful."

Jiang Weilan sighed at the side, and then asked again: "But... did something go wrong with this case later?"

"Yes."

Gu Xiao's voice sighed a little: "The defendant was arrested again in the second year after he was released, and the charge is still intentional homicide!"

Jiang Weilan:! ! !

Can you do this?

"She won't go to Lao Yang to defend her again, will she?" Jiang Weilan asked subconsciously.

"What do you say?"

The corners of Gu Xiao's lips were slightly raised, and his tone was a little mocking: "She told Teacher Yang, anyway, you are so good, just help me defend my innocence again!"

What a natural, yet fluffy sentence!
Gu Xiao didn't know what kind of feeling Teacher Yang felt at that moment, he only knew that Teacher Yang rejected the entrustment, and after that...he was not very willing to appear in court.

The responsibility of a lawyer is indeed to strive for the maximum legal rights and interests of his client, but what if the client is a heinous devil or a big bad wolf in the coat of a little white rabbit?

If you encounter such a situation, every lawyer must fight the lawsuit dutifully, even though he will be stigmatized for it.

This is a lawyer's responsibility.

"Maybe Mr. Yang was tired a long time ago, and that case became an opportunity for him to take a rest. By the way, the victim of the case I just mentioned... lives in Xiliang."

Gu Xiao's tone finally softened: "Okay, it's getting late, should you go home?"

This is... an order to evict guests?

"Well, then I'm leaving!"

Jiang Weilan nodded at Gu Xiao, turned around and left with her special gift box.

When the cold wind blew downstairs, Jiang Weilan shivered suddenly——

Wait, she's still wearing a thin dress!

so cold!
Damn Gu Xiao, can't you get her a coat?

But looking at the decoration style of Gu Xiao's house, it can be seen that his guy is a fighter among straight men!
It was indeed a terrifying creature.

Jiang Weilan walked a few steps quickly, trembling, just as she reached the gate of the community, she saw an oncoming car slowly stop.

"Jiang Weilan?"

The car window rolled down slowly, revealing a handsome face that didn't deserve a beating: "It's really you! You are dressed like this, tsk tsk... I almost didn't recognize it!"

"Qin Zheng?"

Jiang Weilan paused, looking at Qin Zheng in the car in surprise, did he come to look for Gu Xiao?

"It's so late at night, why are you wandering outside dressed like this, and you were kicked out by Gu Xiao?" Qin Zheng looked at Jiang Weilan with a gossip.

"Don't talk nonsense! I just went to the reception, and I came here to get the special products from Senior Brother Gu."

Jiang Weilan took the opportunity to raise her hand and raised the special gift box in her hand.

"Ah, Ah Choo!"

The next second, she sneezed shamelessly.

Qin Zheng frowned, and looked at her with disgust: "Okay, don't talk about this, you get in the car first, where are you going? I'll see you off!"

Women are really the most troublesome creatures in the world, but...

Jiang Weilan is Gu Xiao's woman, a brother's wife... still needs special care.

Jiang Weilan was stunned for a moment, this Qin Zheng...is he still an enthusiastic person?
But it's really cold.

She immediately opened the door and got into the car, and Qin Zheng had already turned the car around.

"Thank you, Lawyer Qin, my family lives in..." Jiang Weilan reported her address after getting into the car, and at the same time, she also found many documents stacked on the back seat of Qin Zheng's car.

Jiang Weilan glanced at those documents, and found that it was a law firm's case, and... it was a divorce case!

This... Could it be the case that Yu Liang talked about yesterday?

"I said, didn't you prepare the outer tower for the reception? Why are you so unprofessional, and so is Gu Xiao, who doesn't know how to be sympathetic?"

Qin Zheng, who was sitting in the front, was thinking while driving.

"Actually, we were investigating a case. At that time, we only thought about finding clues, and ignored other things."

Sitting in the back, Jiang Weilan breathed a sigh of relief. Before going to the reception, she not only memorized a lot of Yuan Bing's materials, she even contacted Sang Yuan, and asked her a lot about Chen Mingming, and only later did she know that Chen Mingming also sang very well. Otherwise, Jiang Weilan wouldn't have found Yuan Bing's empathy so accurately.

"Investigate the case? What other cases does Gu Xiao have in hand?"

Qin Zheng, who was driving, seemed a little curious: "You guys are still investigating Chen Yue's case, are you? How much money did Yu Xue give! I will have to check the accounts at the end of the month!"
