"It broke again?" Xia Jiaoyang was a little surprised, "Has it broken before?"

"Silly girl, it's not that it's broken again, it's that it's been broken and hasn't been repaired." The old lady treated the little girl much more gently, and patiently corrected her words.

"But it was broken before!" The little girl was a little anxious, as if she felt that the old lady had misunderstood her meaning, "The last time I took the elevator with my mother, it fell to the bottom with a bang!"

"What?" The old lady was a little surprised. It was obviously the first time she had heard about this, and she hurriedly asked, "When did it happen?"

The little girl counted on her fingers: "Two days a day... Ah, it's Monday! When I came back from school on Monday, my mother and I took the elevator up together. As soon as we reached the first floor, the elevator slammed and fell down again! My mother and I were scared. died!"

"My mother said that fortunately we are on the first floor, and the height of the fall is not high. If it is higher, something will happen! She called fiercely and said that she wanted to tell the property management and the security uncle at the door."

"Oh! What happened to this! Why don't you tell me!" The old lady clutched her chest anxiously, "You have to tell the property owner what's going on with this elevator! It's okay to steal it, but be safer!"

"Mom said don't worry grandma..." The little girl seemed to be embarrassed and lowered her head.

Xia Jiaoyang raised his eyebrows and looked at Shi Qi with an expression that seemed to say, look, there's a reason.

Shi Qi took a step forward, he squatted down and looked directly into the little girl's eyes: "Has this happened to you just once?"

The little girl was stunned for a moment, and she nodded: "Yes, since that time, my mother won't take me in the elevator, we all take the stairs."

Xia Jiaoyang smiled: "In the future, when the elevator falls, you just look at the floor and jump up when it is almost at the end."

"Hey, this is scary... Stairs are better, but they are still safe." The old lady hugged the little girl, and the little girl blinked as if she had just woken up from a dream.

She didn't seem to understand what was going on now, but the moment she saw Shi Qi, she suddenly cried loudly in accordance with her heart: "Wow——"

Shi Qi was caught off guard by the little girl's sonic attack and his face was blurred, and he blinked in a daze.

When the old lady saw that the child was crying, she didn't care about the reporters or the elevator. She waved her hands and said, "We don't know anything," and quickly closed the door.

Shi Qi was still in a half-squatting position and stood there stiffly.

Xia Jiaoyang laughed loudly, reached out and slapped him on the head: "Look at you, you are still bullying children."

Shi Qi stood up without saying a word, Xia Jiaoyang leaned over to look at his profile: "Hey, what's the matter, are you still sulking?"

Shi Qi glanced at him and didn't answer.

This is coaxing.

Xia Jiaoyang made a judgment in his heart, reached out his hand to touch his pocket, and actually took out a card and handed it to Shi Qi: "Hey, don't be angry, I'll give you a promotion, from now on, you are a person of status. "

Shi Qi didn't want to talk to him at first, but he was still curious about what the card was. He reached out to take it, and looked at the words on the card——Assistant General Manager of W City Fugui Ping An Trading Company.

It's normal that there is no signature, after all, the name Shiqi was only thought of by him after he left the research institute.

But Shi Qi couldn't help but frowned, not to mention the company name of "Prosperity and Peace"...

"...It was a press card just now, what is this? How many small cards do you have with you?"

"What's a small card? Your statement is extremely unscrupulous." Xia Jiaoyang glared at him, then laughed, "Investigating incidents requires various identities. Even if the other party verifies these cards, they will be able to find out for sure. There is this person."

"We are both matched, yours is the assistant to the general manager, and mine is the general manager!" Xia Jiaoyang rolled his eyes with a smile.

Shi Qi turned the card around in his hand, and couldn't help asking: "Then why didn't you give it to me just now?"

Xia Jiaoyang draped his shoulders in a serious manner: "I'm mainly worried that you are inexperienced. If you get the wrong card, it will look like we are applying for a fake certificate. And generally speaking, it's normal for an assistant to not have a business card. .”

Shi Qi squinted at him, Xia Jiaoyang smiled and stretched out his hand to get the card: "Then I'll change it with you, I'll be your assistant and you'll be the general manager, and you'll say your name is Xia Jiaoyang after a while."

Shi Qi put the card in his pocket: "No."

"Hey, young man, that's it. You say you don't want it, but you actually like it in your heart." Xia Jiaoyang hooked his neck.

Shi Qi ignored his teasing, and only asked, "Do you still want to investigate?"

"No need, as long as you know this elevator is weird." Xia Jiaoyang took out his mobile phone, just at that time Lao Zheng's news came, "For the rest, when you go out, chat with the security guard at the door to learn more."

Xia Jiaoyang and Shi Qi were driving that Hummer, which was quite eye-catching. He stopped in front of the ETC at the exit of the community, rolled down the window, and smiled: "Hey, master, we're from out of town. May I ask where you can get fuel?" stand?"

The security guard did not doubt that he was there, and pointed them in the direction very enthusiastically. Under Xia Jiaoyang's signal, Shi Qi took out a pack of cigarettes from the storage box, took out five cigarettes and gave them to the security guard to express his gratitude.

In Xia Jiaoyang's words, the amount of cigarettes given out is also particular. If it is too small, it will appear petty, and it is inconvenient to say a few more words. If it is too much, it will appear that they are prepared and have plans.

Five roots, no more, no less, natural and particular.

Shi Qi snorted, but obediently passed the cigarette out.

Sure enough, the security guard was very happy, and after a little pushback, he accepted it, and Xia Jiaoyang chatted with him: "Hey, master, I heard from my friend that the elevator here has been stolen? Is it so amazing?"

Shi Qi sighed inwardly, but he still remembered the task Xia Jiaoyang gave him, so he had to play the role of flattery, and he added blankly: "I heard that the elevator was always bad for three days."

The security guard looked back, and seemed to confirm that there was no one here before he said, "Hey, our company didn't allow this to be said, but this elevator is indeed a bit evil."

"It's not broken every three days, it's just that it's not working. The property has received several complaints. But every time there is no accident, and it gets better quickly, but when the maintenance master goes, the elevator will be fine again. ! Do you think it’s a weird thing!”

"Hey, it happens often! Every time my computer broke down and I took it to be repaired, it would be fine again. Electric appliances, who knows what's going on!" Xia Jiaoyang echoed a few words, although he wanted to inquire about the news, But he didn't want ordinary people to think in the direction of strange powers and gods, so he continued to ask, "Then this elevator is like this, you can't help it?"

"Hey, how can that be? It's not safe!" The security guard quickly waved his hand, "We are also a high-end community, and we have complained a lot, but we can't find any problems every time. Originally, we planned to build 42 buildings in two days. The complete overhaul of the elevator on the first floor! But who knew that two days before the overhaul, the elevator was stolen!"

Xia Jiaoyang was amused. This security guard had a sense of honor in the company. It was clearly a mid-to-high-end community, but he said it became a high-end community, and he was upgraded to a level abruptly.

Saying goodbye to the security guard at the gate, Xia Jiaoyang turned on the navigation and went straight to Mr. Qian's location - another Fangyuan community not far from his home and the community, where he rented a house.

Xia Jiaoyang tapped the steering wheel with his fingertips: "The clues have come out, and now the line of cause and effect is missing."

Shi Qi didn't continue his conversation, instead he asked: "What were you laughing at?"

"Huh?" Xia Jiaoyang was a little confused, "When are you talking about? I've been laughing."

"I just finished talking to the security guard." Shi Qi looked at Xia Jiaoyang, as if he couldn't figure it out, "What's so funny about what he said?"

Xia Jiaoyang was speechless, he sighed: "Shi Qi, have you ever heard of the saying that if a joke needs to be explained, it will become the most ridiculous thing in the world."

Shi Qi turned his head to the side expressionlessly.

Xia Jiaoyang laughed again: "Actually, I think it's funny when you're angry. Why are you only thinking about why I laugh? Think about the clue I just said."

Shi Qi lowered his eyes: "Mr. Qian is unemployed, so he can't be someone who makes an elevator company, and he won't steal the elevator because he is worried that the quality of the elevator will be exposed. He doesn't live in this community, so he won't Residents who are annoyed because the elevator doesn't work."

"Although we have now found two motives, in reality, he fits neither."

"Then it's possible that we found the wrong person." Xia Jiaoyang replied casually.

"No, I think it's him." Shi Qi's tone was very firm.

Xia Jiaoyang couldn't help raising his eyebrows. Even though he felt that Mr. Qian was very suspicious, he still couldn't help but want to tease him: "Are you so sure? What if we all guess wrong."

Shi Qi glanced at Xia Jiaoyang, and suddenly smiled: "Want to make a bet, Mr. Xia?"

Xia Jiaoyang regarded this as a naked provocation, he looked him up and down, and laughed: "There must be a bet for a bet, what do you have on you, kid?"

"If I win, you will be my partner." Shi Qi pointed to the snack bag that Xia Jiaoyang bought last night, "If I lose, this will be yours."

"Am I worth a pack of snacks? I'm at a loss too!" Xia Jiaoyang complained and rolled his eyes with a smile, "Okay, it's a gamble."

Xia Jiaoyang concentrated on driving, and Shi Qi concentrated on looking at the scenery outside the window. The two talked and laughed at Yanyan on the surface, but they secretly competed.

Xia Jiaoyang couldn't figure out why Shi Qi insisted on forming a team with him. He couldn't even figure out whether Shi Qi really liked him a little bit, or...he had some intentions.

Although he was a little closer than when they first met, in fact, Xia Jiaoyang did not let down his vigilance towards him.

He glanced at Shi Qi, this brat must be the same, pretending to be close on the surface, but actually testing his attitude a little bit.

The author has something to say: No Responsibility Small Theater:

Shiqi: Mr. Xia, I like you very much.

Xia Jiaoyang: Mmm, me too.

Turning their heads, the two said in unison: Speech.
