It's just a waste of Brother Jixi's and Master Xiao's time.
The girl felt very sorry.
Brother Jixi is very worried about the case.
She was still in trouble.
Master Xiao too.
I was already bothering Master Xiao all the time, but it turned out that such a trivial matter wasted up so much time...
The more she thought about it, the more regretful the girl felt.
If she had known earlier, she would have insisted on not looking for it from the beginning, or she would have looked for it on her own later.
As a result, so much time has been wasted now...
...
Meng Jixi looked at the girl, "It's not the end yet."
"Don't you think it's too early to give up now?"
"Besides, if you really can't find it, I'll buy another one exactly like it and give it to you."
"Isn't it just a rabbit head with a carrot?"
"Brother Jixi, can't you just say it's a rabbit and a carrot?"
The girl protested, "Besides, that was a gift from Manman..."
"Wang Man?"
Meng Jixi thought for a moment and knew who the Manman the girl was talking about was.
"It turns out it was a gift from that girl. No wonder you care so much about it."
Meng Jixi suddenly realized.
Otherwise, in his impression, girls are not so stubborn most of the time.
If she had bought this pendant herself, she probably wouldn't have told her when she found out it was missing.
After all, their situation today is somewhat special and they are in the process of investigating a case.
Girls are always considerate of others.
In this regard, they are the same as brothers and sisters.
Be considerate but not self-righteous.
Otherwise, with his temperament that is almost completely opposite to theirs, he would not have played particularly well with them since he was a child.
until now.
He regards them as his younger brothers and sisters.
He is the eldest brother, there is no doubt about that.
Whether it's from date of birth or psychology.
…
"That'll be easy."
Meng Jixi raised her eyebrows slightly, "I really can't find it, so I'll ask that girl to give you another one."
"ah?"
"...How can there be such a thing?"
Chi Xiuke blinked.
This, this is too...excessive? Shameless? Isn't it?
It was obviously her mistake to lose the gift, but she still had to make up for it?
…
"Only you can do this kind of thing."
The corners of Chi Xiuchuan's mouth twitched slightly.
He touched his sister's head and said, "Wang Man is not such a stingy person."
"You didn't mean it either."
"If you explain and apologize properly, she won't be angry."
"Um."
The girl nodded.
She knew that Manman was not such a stingy person, and she would not be angry because of it.
It was she who felt guilty.
There is a feeling of guilt for having failed the other person.
It would be great if I could find it here...
The girl raised her feet and walked a few steps quickly to catch up with Master Xiao and Brother Jixi who were about to enter the unit building.
…
There were footsteps coming from above.
Someone came down.
…
After walking a few more steps, a man with dyed hair and shaved sides appeared in everyone's sight.
Seeing so many people at once, the man was obviously stunned.
His eyes stayed on Chi Xiuke for a while.
But soon, he withdrew his gaze.
The girl was accompanied by three boys.
three.
One of them is particularly difficult to mess with at first glance.
Tsk tsk.
Feeling a little regretful, he smacked his lips, put his hands in his pockets, and staggered downstairs.
…
Meng Jixi turned sideways and gave up more space.
The stairs are not wide.
If one party refuses to give in, it will be too crowded.
The man passed by Meng Jixi.
He thought the next person would give way to him, but...
"What are you doing?"
The man reached out and grabbed the handrail of the stairs on one side, stepped back on the upper step with one foot, and swayed a few times before maintaining his balance.
He angrily glared at the young man in front of him and said in a bad tone, "I don't have long-"
"Hiss~"
Xiao Xiao reached out and pressed down the white snake that stuck out its head.
"Excuse me."
"I was distracted just now."
He smiled at the man and stepped away.
...
The man rubbed his ears.
He just... seemed to hear the sound of a snake?
At that moment, his heart skipped a beat.
He was a little confused.
If it is a big snake or a poisonous snake, most people will be afraid of it.
He is also included.
But he is not afraid of ordinary non-venomous snakes.
He has eaten snake meat.
So...why did he react so loudly just now?
It can be said to be frightening.
Maybe it's because I suddenly heard a sound that shouldn't be there?
The man looked around suspiciously and warily for a while.
Nothing was found.
He shook his head in confusion.
Did he hear wrongly?
Seeing that the road in front of him had been cleared, he glared at Xiao Xiao and strode down the stairs.
Chi Xiuchuan and Chi Xiuke have already given up their positions.
…
After the man's figure disappeared around the corner on the next floor, Meng Jixi walked down a few stairs and stopped next to Xiao Xiao.
"Master Xiao, that person-"
He glanced at the gap in the middle of the stairs and asked, "Is there any problem?"
Chi Xiuchuan and Chi Xiuke also looked curious and confused.
After all, Master Xiao's performance just now was too abnormal.
I almost bumped into someone because I was distracted. This is not something Master Xiao would do at all.
