Reading Agreement

Leaving the meeting point, Shi Zhen went back to the company to deal with some business. It was around one o'clock in the afternoon, and the one he was waiting for was delivered on the same day.Opening the paper bag, he glanced inside and confirmed that it was what he wanted. Then Shi Zhen put on his coat and left the company, and drove directly to Gao Yang's residence.

Knocking on the door was still habitually impolite. When Shi Zhen saw the thin face behind the door, Shi Zhen couldn't help but feel moved. The little fox really became thinner and thinner.

"Are you... what's the matter?" Gao Yang was taken aback by his sudden arrival, he asked in a daze, subconsciously moved out of the way, and invited the young master to come in.

"A little bit." Shi Zhen walked in and caught a glimpse of the computer on the coffee table, with some documents scattered around, and the little fox was still struggling with the disappearance case.

"The agreement is difficult?" Shi Zhen watched Gao Yang hastily clear the coffee table, and sat down on the sofa calmly by himself: "Is Lu Xiyang closely related to the case?"

"I can't tell now." Gao Yang answered while tidying up.

"There should be some connection." Shi Zhen raised his eyebrows and said deliberately.

"Why?" Gao Yang paused and looked up at him.

Shi Zhen looked at the little fox Malu, and said calmly, "If there is no connection, you won't tamper with the video, so there is still some connection."

"Perhaps there are other suspects appearing in the part that was cut out, and Lu Xiyang just happened to appear at that point." Gao Yang finished packing, went to the kitchen to get a bottle of water and put it on the coffee table: "Drink water."

"It's hot." Shi Zhen watched the bottle remain motionless.

Gao Yang: "...Hot? Wait, I'll cook it."

"You don't usually drink hot water?" Shi Zhen watched Gao Yang walk into the kitchen, and there were a series of sounds of turning on the faucet, pouring water into the kettle, putting the base in place, and pressing the switch.

"Drink, I just finished drinking today." Gao Yang walked out: "Wait a minute, five minutes."

"Can't you use this mineral water to cook?" Shi Zhen pointed to the bottle: "I don't want to drink tap water."

Gao Yang: "...I'll change it." After finishing speaking, he took the bottle and went to boil the water again.

"It's fine to heat it up in the microwave." Shi Zhen said calmly, "I just want to drink something hot."

"Do you mind? Turn on the microwave?" Gao Yan blinked and asked.

Shi Zhen shook his head.

"Wait a minute." Gao Yang took the water to the kitchen, and a cup of hot water came out a minute later, and placed it in front of Shi Zhen.

Looking at the mug in front of him, Shi Zhen couldn't stop: "No disposable cups?"

"No, put the mineral water bottle back for you?" Gao Yang asked patiently.

"Forget it, plastic is poisonous when heated." Shi Zhen picked up the cup and drank a couple of sips, feeling warmer.

Gao Yang watched Fang Fang put down his cup, and silently changed the topic back to the video: "How much do you think was cut from that video?"

"It's very expensive for me to investigate the case." Shi Zhen said deliberately.

Gao Yang: "..." Don't plan to talk properly, do you?

Shi Zhen continued to speak boldly: "But since you have to help me with errands this week, you can't let you be ignorant and hold me back."

Gao Yang twitched the corners of his mouth, not wanting to answer.

"The part of the video we saw, from Lu Xiyang being placed in front of the convenience store by his nephew and daughter-in-law, to the nanny running out to find the child, was a total of three minutes and 12 seconds. I specifically called Lu Xiyang's nephew and confirmed to him that his wife was calling The situation and time." Shi Zhen took a cup of hot water and said slowly: "The other party confirmed that he left the aunt at the door of the convenience store and started calling. After hanging up the phone, he saw the anxious nanny."

Gao Yang blinked and said, "The child disappeared during this period of time, so the call time should be the same as the video time, with an error of at most one or two seconds. What is the call time of Lu Xiyang's nephew and daughter-in-law?"

Shi Zhen replied: "Four minutes and two seconds."

"42 seconds behind! It's almost half a minute." Gao Yang was a little surprised: "A lot of things can happen."

"Yes. What happened in 42 seconds is a question." Shi Zhen glanced at Gao Yang and motioned him to sit down.

Gao Yang obediently sat down on the other side of the sofa, thoughtfully: "In these 42 seconds, a third person appeared and abducted the child?"

"Half a minute is not long." Shi Zhen put forward his own thoughts: "In half a minute, how can a stranger communicate with two children? Say hello, ask a few simple questions, what else can I do? If trust is not established, how can we continue to cheat? Besides, in the video, the child left by himself, and no one followed him. I personally think that, at least in the matter of the child’s first communication, the third person does not work. It didn't even show up."

"Then what's the point of cutting the film?" Gao Yang blinked, his thoughts spinning rapidly, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared, and he said in disbelief, "It's really just for people to see this scene? Pay attention here?"

Shi Zhen put down the glass and said, "At least my personal opinion may not be correct. I don't think it matters how much the video is cut. The important thing is that the other party allows you to see what he needs you to see."

Gao Yang frowned slightly, feeling even more puzzled.

"Suppose, it's like this." Shi Zhen said what he had been thinking all along: "The other party deliberately let people see this exchange. If they find a loophole in this editing, they will unconsciously want to interpret it more deeply, and then Lu Xiyang was investigated, and then the situation continued to develop. The process is like this, as for the specific purpose, that is your business. Because the disappearance case is your agreement."

"..." Gao Yang curled his lips, a little annoyed, but couldn't find the words to refute.

"Okay, I've found the clue for you about the video editing problem, and you can continue by yourself. Next, please do me a favor." After Shi Zhen finished speaking, he took out a plastic bag from the courier bag Wrapped in a receipt folder with a stack of parking vouchers on it.

"How dare you help, you are our valued customer, you can use it as you please for a week, and I will serve you wholeheartedly." Gao Yang was upset and shot back.

Shi Zhen glanced at him, Gao Yang felt guilty and avoided it.

"I'll ask you before doing this." Shi Zhen patted the seat next to him and told Gao Yang to sit closer.

"You ask." Gao Yang remained motionless, looking at the receipt folder in bewilderment.

"Your ability to read is not completely destroyed, is it?" Shi Zhen asked.

The word "reading" made Gao Yang slightly frowned. He looked at Shi Zhen vigilantly and said tentatively, "If you want me to read, I have to prepare glass nails."

"You're such a waste, you can't read anything without glass nails?" Shi Zhen sarcastically said.

"I can read it, but it's not [-]% accurate. The content of what I read may be biased, and it's hard to tell whether it's true or not; or I may not be able to read anything, and get nothing." Gao Yang was afraid that Shi Zhen would not be able to do it, so he used aggressive methods: " You are not afraid of my misreading, you take it here, and I will read it."

"Read it." Shi Zhen threw the receipt folder to Gao Yang. It was the object that Mr. Cai used all the time when he was a toll collector. It took him to hold it for hours every day. It should have left some breath on it. .

After chatting with the mouse in the morning, he sent a message to Xiao K, asking him to help him find it.Because it is not a valuable item and will not disturb the life of the elderly, so Xiao K found it quickly and mailed the same-day mail.

"Oh." Gao Yang reluctantly took out the receipt folder from the plastic bag, rummaging over and over in his hand.Without the pain of skin and flesh, his expression is naturally not as painful as Liuli Nail, but also extremely relaxed.

While Gao Yang was reading the receipt folder, Shi Zhen went to the kitchen to get a cup of hot water for a drink.It was still raining heavily outside, and the kitchen windows were covered with raindrops, obscuring everything into a blur with no clear path ahead.

This kitchen is really small.Shi Zhen complained silently, and when he saw the refrigerator at hand, he opened it.A burst of cold air burst out, and in the bright light, the inside was empty, except for a half bottle of Laoganma, there was nothing, not even a can of drinks.

"Simple style? Saving style?" Shi Zhen raised his eyebrows, remembering that Gao Yang still owed himself 3000 yuan, so he opened the freezer under the refrigerator, and as a result... there was only a box of ice cubes of unknown age in the freezer , there is nothing left.

Can I still pay back 3000?Shi Zhen closed the door of the refrigerator in disgust, and walked to the living room. I don't know if it was because the refrigerator was turned on, and he caught a cold, and suddenly felt that the temperature in the living room was a little low.

"I finished reading." Gao Yang put down the receipt folder, and bumped into Shi Zhen's disgusted face, wondering how he had offended him again.

"Why don't you turn on the air conditioner? It's minus three degrees today." Shi Zhen showed displeasure, and directed Gao Yang to turn on the air conditioner with his chin.

"The air conditioner is broken." Gao Yang said innocently, "That day...the fight...hadn't had time to change it yet."

"The air conditioner is also broken?" Shi Zhen frowned slightly, glanced at the air conditioner, only to find that the cover was gone long ago, and the movement inside seemed to be a little less, so he asked rather annoyed: "Buy a new one, so 3000 is still worth it." Can I return it?"

Gao Yang replied quickly: "I will pay you back first."

Shi Zhen: "..."

Gao Yang didn't want to get entangled in the 3000 issue, and continued: "What I read is..."

"I don't want to hear it. It's freezing cold. Put on your clothes and find a warm place to talk." Shi Zhen signaled Gao Yang to put on his clothes, and he wanted to go out and talk.

Gao Yang: "?" Just do it.

"Hurry up." Shi Zhen urged him, put on his coat, and looked very anxious.

"Oh." Gao Yang took a coat from the hanger and put it on, before going out.

"Come here." Shi Zhen hooked his fingers.

"What's the matter?" Gao Yang moved slowly in front of Shi Zhen, feeling his stomach chill, Shi Zhen ripped his T-shirt, and got a disgusted expression.

"Go out to die in such thin clothes?" Shi Zhen pushed him away, and ordered: "Add a sweater, and also change the sweatpants."

"I don't..." Gao Yang didn't dare to continue in the middle of the conversation, he was afraid that Shi Zhen would pick him up on the spot.So I reluctantly went to the closet and dragged a sweater and a pair of pants, and carried them to the bathroom to change.

Shi Zhen waited calmly, and 5 minutes later, Gao Yang came out of the bathroom.

"Where are we going?" Gao Yang looked at Shi Zhen at the door and couldn't help asking.

"3000, do you want to issue a receipt?" Shi Zhen opened the door, turned around and asked, "Or, send..."

"No!" Gao Yang interrupted angrily, and walked out first, gritting his back molars.
