There are thieves in the house.
This is the result of Ji Xi's observation for a few days. I just don't know where this thief came from. I only know that he will appear when she is not at home or resting, stealing food from her refrigerator, using her bathroom, and being extremely arrogant. leaving traces of the crime.
This matter has to start from half a month ago.
Since the Mid-Autumn Festival, Ji Xi has noticed strange things happening at home from time to time, for example, some of the food in the refrigerator is always missing, or there is always mud on the floor of the house, or there are water marks in the bathtub before he uses it.
At first she thought she was being overwhelmed, but even though she filled the refrigerator without eating, it was still half empty the next day; even if she washed the soles of her shoes when she came back, she would still wake up with mud the next day On the floor of the house. Put a hair in the tub and it was gone the next day.
All of these indicated that someone had entered the house. Moreover, after Ji Xi had been observing for a few days, this thief was extremely arrogant, and she had discovered it, and even continued to commit crimes for several days, sneaking in while she was at work or sleeping, without worrying that her master would find out.
In order to prevent the thief from coming in again, she even asked someone to change the lock, and she would close the doors and windows before going to bed, but it didn't help, the food that should have been lost would still be gone, the dirt on the ground would continue to appear, and the bathtub was still the same. Water marks appear.
This matter tossed Ji Xi for a few days, and when he was at work, he talked about it with Li Qingqing and the others.
Li Yuanyuan was holding a leaflet in her hand, when she heard Ji Xi ask how to catch the thief, she immediately smiled, "I have a way."
Ji Xi raised his eyes: "It's just for you to catch a thief, don't laugh so wretchedly."
Next to him, Li Qingqing slapped Li Yuanyuan on the mouth, blocking the obscene laughter: "Sorry, I just laughed."
"I really have a solution." Li Yuanyuan pulled down her sister's hand and handed the flyer to Ji Xi, "This is it."
Ji Xi accepted it dubiously, and was intimidated by the big characters on it at first glance.
"Dear beauties and handsome guys, are you still worried about your lover cheating on you? Don't worry, we are here to help you catch rape in bed! We have whatever posture you want! "
Seeing this, Ji Xi raised his head and glanced at Li Yuanyuan, "Has your fiancé cheated?" Li Yuanyuan has a childhood sweetheart fiancé who has already been engaged. She always thought that the relationship between the two was harmonious, but she didn't expect it to reach this point.
Li Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment, and then she came to her senses, pointing angrily at the small print below, "We have a very good relationship, no third party, no rape in bed! Also, I asked you to read this, not the title!! !"
Yun Qi looked in the direction her finger was pointing at, only to notice that under the bold and enlarged title, there was a row of mosquito-sized words: Original price 998, current price only 888, private camera to take home.
The comparison between the two font sizes is like the comparison between a basketball and a mosquito, and you won’t notice it if you don’t pay attention.
Ji Xi: ... These days are indeed headline parties.
Still, it's a good idea. Ji Xi rubbed his chin, thinking about installing a few at home.
"Xiao Xi." Li Yuanyuan called Ji Xi's attention back, "What do you think of this attention?"
Ji Xi regained his senses and nodded: "It's rare that you can come up with some good ideas."
"Since you have helped me so much, shouldn't I be rewarded with half a day off?" Li Yuanyuan has always been good at climbing up the pole, "It's rare for my dear to have a rest today, Mr. Ji, you are so nice..."
Ji Xi frowned: "Out of the four of us, you rest the most."
"Because dating is a waste of time." Li Yuanyuan sighed, but the pride in her voice couldn't be concealed at all, and she almost said directly, "We are different, I am the only one out of the four who has a date~"
"The work is done, rest for half a day in the afternoon."
"Thank you Mr. Ji." Li Yuanyuan saluted mischievously, "Sure enough Mr. Ji is the best boss in the world."
Call Mr. Ji if you have something to do, and Xiao Xi if you have nothing to do. Ji Xi waved his hands in disgust, "Go aside."
After the two sisters left the office, Ji Xi dialed the phone number on the flyer, "Hi, I want to install a camera."
Ji Xi skipped work in the afternoon and took the person who installed the camera back to the house.
"Beauty, if you want to cover your house at 360 degrees without any dead spots, you may need a lot of cameras and waste a lot of money. There is absolutely no need for this." A young man in his twenties came to install the cameras, dressed in He was dressed in light blue jeans and a white T-shirt, speaking in uncommon Mandarin, "If you catch the rape in the bed, there is no need to waste it so much, you just need to install a few in the room and the entrance to the room, and then—"
Before he finished speaking, the young man turned around and subconsciously took two steps back from Shang Ji Xi's expressionless face. I don't know if it was an illusion, but he seemed to feel a strong murderous intent.
"I want to catch thieves, not rapists in bed." Ji Xi turned cold, "Just install them all, don't talk nonsense."
As soon as the momentum of giving orders in the company came out, the little brother was instantly bluffed, said "I'm sorry" and started looking for an installation location.
After installing the camera and collecting the money, the little brother ran away with the tools without taking a sip of water.
He won't come here no matter how much money you give next time, this aura is too scary, it feels like a man-eating tiger.
Ji Xi didn't know that he was being compared to a tiger, so he looked at the surveillance camera on the computer to make sure that every corner was not missed, and then he left the house to go shopping in the supermarket, and filled the half-empty refrigerator with food.
Looking at the refrigerator full of things, Ji Xi nodded. This time, everything is really ready, and only the thief is owed.
However, to Ji Xi's surprise, the thief did not appear in the next few days, and there was no soil on the floor, and the camera monitoring did not find anything unusual.
Could it be that he knew he was afraid so he didn't dare to show up
On this day, Ji Xi was watching the home surveillance on the computer while reading the files.
"Buzz buzz—" the phone vibrated, she put down the file and picked up the phone, looked at the note before connecting, "Mom, what's the matter?" As soon as the phone was connected, the sound of a noisy car came.
"Where are your photos these days?! I just traveled for a few days, and I didn't ask you every day. I didn't expect you to be so unconscious that you didn't post any photos."
As soon as Mother Ji asked, Ji Xi remembered that there was a potted plant at home. Thinking about the thief these days, and Ji's mother didn't rush to ask for photos when she was out, she really forgot that there were potted plants at home that needed to be watered.
She was silent for too long, and Ji's mother guessed something in an instant, and asked tentatively: "Could it be that you haven't watered these days?"
Although Ji Xi felt guilty, he still said "No" very forcefully.
"If it wasn't for you, why would you forget to give me a photo." Mo Ruomu, the intellectual daughter, and Ji's mother urged, "Are you at home now? Hurry up and water it! If it withers, your marriage will be cold."
Ji Xi didn't think the problem was so serious, "Mom, they say don't be superstitious, why don't you listen to it. This plant has nothing to do with my marriage at all."
"In short, I don't care. If this plant is gone, then don't go home. Unless you bring someone back, don't even think about stepping into the house again." Mother Ji hung up the phone after saying this extremely coldly. .
Ji Xi knew her mother's temperament, and was pampered by her father to be an uncompromising temperament. Since she said harsh words, she might not be able to go home without a date.
Looking at the documents at hand, he was not in a hurry to sign. Ji Xi struggled for a while, got up with his mobile phone, and left the office.
"President Ji?" Li Qingqing's desk was just outside Ji Xi's office, and when she saw her come out, she quickly got up, "Do you have any orders?"
Ji Xi waved his hand: "I also know that there is something unusual, but I'm off work now, so call me if there's anything urgent." Saying that, he left in a hurry.
"Mr. Ji actually got off work early, and the sun came out from the west today?"
"Mr. Ji is gone, does that mean that we don't have to work overtime today? That's great!"
As soon as Ji Xi left, all the employees in the office were excited and noisy in an instant.
"Ahem." Li Qingqing said with a straight face, "Still at work."
"Yes." The excited people responded weakly, and obediently returned to their respective positions, but their eyes were still full of happiness, which made Li Qingqing shake his head.
"Crack—"
Ji Xi opened the door and ran to the balcony in a hurry to see the condition of the potted plants, and he just froze in place.
"How could this be?" Ji Xi went up and down to look up and down, only the soil was left on the potted plants, and the grass had disappeared. She searched the entire balcony, but couldn't find it, not even the ashes.
Was it stolen by the previous thief? But a piece of grass, there is nothing to steal.
Or, because of lack of water and wilting, it finally turned into chemical fertilizer and blended into the soil? But it's only been four or five days, is it so fast
Anyway, after taking good care of her for half a year, no matter what the result is, Ji Xi cannot accept it.
Just when Ji Xi was sighing, he caught a glimpse of the rotating camera on the wall from the corner of his eye, and his vision suddenly brightened. Just when she was about to go to look at the computer, the doorbell rang suddenly.
"Wait a minute." Ji Xi went out of the hall, looked at the person coming through the cat's eyes, and then opened the door to welcome the two of them into the room. While closing the door, he asked, "Mom and Dad, why are you back?"
"I just came back, so I'm not at ease, so I'll take a look at the potted plant." Mother Ji snorted softly, turning her eyes around, "Where is the potted plant? Is it still on the balcony?" Saying that, she headed towards the balcony go.
Oops.
Ji Xi took a big stride and grabbed his mother, "Mom, you are tired after shopping for a long time, please sit down and rest, I will squeeze a glass of juice for you. By the way, I just bought a glass of juice a few days ago. A bunch of lemons to juice your favorite lemon."
Ji's father on the side said: "Only your mother's, no father's?"
"Yes, yes, shall I squeeze orange juice for dad?" Ji Xi responded while tugging at his mother's arm, preventing him from taking half a step forward.
"That's about the same."
Ji Xi heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, turned his head, and saw his mother observing him thoughtfully, a drop of cold sweat slipped from the corner of his forehead, "Mom, why are you looking at me like that?"
"Baby, you are a little weird."
"No." No matter how guilty he is, Ji Xi can act as if nothing happened, and speak very hard.
Ji's mother narrowed her eyes, and a face that was roughly similar to Ji Xi suddenly showed a bright smile, "You talk too much."
After raising him for so many years, Ji's mother knows what kind of temperament Ji Xi is. Usually, she talks very little, but every time she talks too much, something is bound to happen. It was like this when I was a child, as long as I did something wrong, I would talk too much, and it has not changed at all until now.
Touching her chin, Mother Ji expressed her satisfaction with her wit, "Is there something wrong with that potted plant?"
Almost subconsciously, Ji Xi replied, "No."
Mother Ji didn't believe it, she asked her husband to come over and hold her daughter, and walked slowly towards the balcony by herself.
Ji Xi wanted to stop her, but unfortunately, he was held back by Ji's father, unable to move. He could only watch helplessly as his mother walked to the balcony, her back against the light looked like she was about to ascend to a fairy, but Ji Xi's heart sank into an abyss in an instant. .
It's over.
