Reading Agreement

"Where did you die?" Shi Zhen asked.

"The company car is waiting below. I have to go to the company early. I have an important agreement to sign today." Situ Feng said while putting on his shoes.

"It's not even seven o'clock." Shi Zhen looked at his watch.

"We go to work at 8 o'clock, and the customer arrives at 8 o'clock, what can I do." Situ Feng put on his shoes and stood at the door, smiling and waving to the living room: "Let's go, goodbye."

Shi Zhen rolled his eyes and uttered a word: "Go away. Bring an umbrella."

Situ Feng took it for granted, shook his head, took an umbrella from the cabinet at the door, opened the door and went out.

Now, only Shi Zhen and Gao Yang are left in the house.The air suddenly calmed down, except for the voice on the TV, there was no more emotion.

As the clock ticked by, Gao Yang wished he could break the pizza into 100 small pieces and eat it forever, until Shi Zhen could forget his own existence.

"That slice of pizza is not as big as a palm, have you finished it?" Shi Zhen finally lost his patience: "Are you going to chew it into batter and put it in the pan again?"

"It's almost finished." Gao Yang stuffed the last small piece of pizza into his mouth, took a mouthful of orange juice, and swallowed with his head in despair.

"Take the medicine after taking it." Shi Zhen said.

"Yeah." Gao Yang took the medicine, which was dispensed by the hospital yesterday, and he forgot to take it in a hurry when he left. He didn't expect Shi Zhen to go to get it early in the morning.He stared at the small pill in a daze for two seconds before putting it into his mouth and swallowing it with orange juice.

"You're really casual, taking medicine and drinking orange juice, won't you pour a glass of water?" Shi Zhen's voice came from behind, cold and usually indifferent.

Gao Yang was taken aback, and the orange juice almost turned into the trachea, forcing him to bring it back down the throat.He only felt that the water was blocked in his chest and entered his stomach with difficulty, followed by a sharp pain after friction in his throat.He hurriedly pulled a piece of paper, wiped his mouth, and stood up, but Shi Zhen pressed his shoulder, and he sat down in his seat again.

"Look at this." Shi Zhen pushed away the debris on the table and spread out a piece of 18K paper.It was a simple floor plan, printed in black and white, with some ink leakage, poor shade and clarity.A lot of markings were made on the drawings, countless scribbled circles framed the unclear range, and a random straight line was drawn from outside the arc, and the direction of the arrow was drawn, carefully marked on one side stroke by stroke.

"A sketch of Liuyuan." Gao Yang looked at the traditional characters on the upper right corner of the drawing, a little surprised: "Where did you get it?"

"In the Urban Architecture Archives, you can find any buildings with a bit of history or age." Shi Zhen said casually: "It's a pity that the original files are not open to the public. There are only computer parts, so it's not very clear."

"How do you have the inquiry authority of the Urban Architecture Archives?" Gao Yang was a little surprised, as if he remembered that it was not a place where ordinary people could look up information.Not only is the appointment mechanism cumbersome, but the searchable range is also full of cards.

Shi Zhen said disapprovingly: "My grandfather has the inquiry authority, he went to check the information, and asked him to help me transfer this information by the way."

"These circles are... maintenance records?" Gao Yang leaned closer to look at the drawings. It turned out that the labels next to the circles had written a lot of content in detail, including the repair date, repair content, and damage at that time. The items were all explained in a few words. There should be corresponding repair drawings and appendices, but they can't see it.

"Yes, maintenance records." Shi Zhen nodded, dragged a chair and sat down.

Gao Yang counted the circles and said: "Is it because of the age? Many places have been repaired, and there are... 21 places."

"This picture is a superimposition of the revisions made in previous years, and it was not completed at one time." Shi Zhen pointed to the fence on the east side of the drawing: "This old house has been repaired for three years, and Mrs. Jin had an accident. Two months ago, this place was still under construction."

"Fence?" Gao Yang frowned slightly, the circle on the picture was not big, it only said that the fence was in disrepair, and the date was two months ago, but there was no detailed value such as specific size range.He raised his head and asked a little confused: "Fixing the fence is a trivial matter, why is it still recorded?"

Shi Zhen raised his eyebrows and replied: "Because this house is quite old, some special building materials used to be available, but now they are gone. If you want to match the original parts, but you have no choice, you have to go to the urban building material library to apply for it. If there are enough materials , can be deployed within a week, scarce materials can only depend on luck. In addition, repairing buildings requires the guidance of professionals or full-time masters, and these talents can also apply to the building material library."

"It's so complicated to build a house." Gao Yang was speechless.

"Of course, you can also use your own materials to repair. As long as the original frame does not change, your repair method is basically not mandatory. The Jin family may think that this is an old house, and there is no need to entrust others, so they specially entrusted the building materials. Library." Shi Zhen pointed to the drawings and said, take a closer look at what they have repaired. "

After listening to his words, Gao Yang picked up the blueprint and looked at it carefully for a while, without missing a single circle. After a while, he looked up and asked strangely: "The floor was overhauled once, the beams and columns were repaired twice, and the water and electricity items were repaired three times. , the other thirteen times... are all fences? Are fences so easy to break?"

"I don't know." Shi Zhen shrugged his shoulders: "The declarations for the fences are all repairs. It stands to reason that these fences have undergone special anti-corrosion treatment to withstand the sun, wind and rain. I don't know why, recently It suddenly became fragile in the past year, and has been applying for repairs one after another."

Gao Yang asked strangely: "Don't the people in the building material library doubt it?"

Shi Zhen shook his head: "Who will take care of you for minor repairs, let alone the Jin family's house, even if there are doubts, no one will talk about it. Moreover, the price of this kind of repair is not cheap, if you make money, you don't care how you break it."

"There are bad spots on the fence inside and outside, and some directly penetrate. In this way, we may be able to touch one or two bad spots when we go there later, and maybe we will find something." Gao Yang's eyes flashed with excitement .

Shi Zhen shook his head and poured cold water on him and said, "Not necessarily. There is a material imitating agent in the repair material of the fence. After using it, the old and new wounds will blend with the surroundings, and there is no trace of mending. Every time they repair the fence, Looking for professionals, it is impossible to allow others to see the large and small patches on the fence for the sake of the appearance of the exterior of the building and the temperament of the interior, so we may not be able to find it when we go.”

"Is the person who repaired the fence suspicious?" Gao Yang asked.

Shi Zhen still shook his head: "There is nothing suspicious about the person. The master is different every time. It should be repaired normally. However, the repair records they made after they came back almost reported that the fence was in disrepair, rotted, broken, and needed to be improved. These , and the notes next to the drawings have simple records."

"They're all the same?" Gao Yang felt a little disappointed.

Shi Zhen suddenly said: "Only one time, the record next to the fence is 'accident', and the content says that a large area was destroyed, from the inside." Here, a larger circle is drawn on the fence wall next to Shi Zhen's guide , it can be seen that the degree of crash at that time was not small.

"Crash?" Gao Yang recalled the situation when he looked in from the front: "Crash? I remember that there are trees against the wall in the south, even the leaves are not blocking it?"

"Have you climbed in and looked?" Shi Zhen cast a contemptuous glance at Gao Yang.

Gao Yang's complexion changed, and he smiled awkwardly: "No, I peeked in through the crack of the door."

Shi Zhen rolled his eyes, despising him a little, thinking he had some big trick to get in, but it turned out...peeping through the door.

Looking at the drawings, Gao Yang felt extremely embarrassed and ashamed, so he could only quickly change the topic: "What time do we go?"

"After a while," Shi Zhen got up and left the dining table: "We are just going to have a look, don't have too much hope for this old house, or the same sentence, the Jin family must have carried out a carpet search on this house Yes, not to mention the fence, maybe every brick on the road has been lifted up to see, if they still find nothing, then we will go and see, it is just a formality."

"I know, but if you don't take a closer look, you will feel very uncomfortable." Gao Yang smiled innocently.

"Yeah. I'll go later and wait for the rain to stop." Shi Zhen nodded, rubbed Gao Yang's head casually, and continued to watch TV in the sofa area.

Gao Yang: "..." He froze again.
