Chapter 92 Maintenance
The case occurred in France, Italy and Portugal. The cause was a website that ranked internet celebrities as rotten bananas. The basic requirement for being on the list was that the internet celebrity had more than 200,000 followers. Netizens could vote on the website to choose the internet celebrity they hated the most. The website would give a rotten banana to the winner during an internet celebrity event. Some internet celebrities accepted it with a big smile, while others turned hostile.
This ranking is published monthly, and the Internet Celebrity Killer appeared three months ago.
The killer kidnapped three Italian influencers who were ranked the top three rotten bananas and tortured them with a lie detector. Every time they lied, one point would be deducted. After the questions were asked, whoever had the lowest score would be killed. The other two influencers would be released. Then the killer would upload the video, which became popular on the Internet after the first episode was released, and gained millions of fans overnight. However, the account was immediately banned. The next month, a video of the top three French influencers taking the lie detector game appeared.
Liang Xi seldom went online, and when he did, he only watched movies. Bobby was already too busy with reality to go online. In addition, the police deliberately reduced the impact of the Internet celebrity killer, and because the case happened abroad, Liang Xi and Bobby had no idea about it.
Willy introduced that the Rotten Banana website is a British company. They rejected the police's suggestion and insisted on continuing to carry out the Rotten Banana ranking in various European countries in turn. Three days ago, Rotten Banana stated on its website that this month's selection will be held in the UK.
After Willy's explanation, Liang Xi and Bobby ate in the church haunted house that night and watched the Internet celebrity killer's video. It was obvious that the Internet celebrity killer was not a single person, and he had a professional polygraphist and a lie detector. Every time he started, the killer would explain that the polygraph had a certain error rate, and he believed that the error rate was the hand of God.
The third-ranked internet celebrity will randomly draw an envelope and read it out to the camera to decide how to execute the first-ranked internet celebrity. The executioner is the second-ranked internet celebrity. Currently, shooting has been drawn twice and hanging has been drawn once. Since the killer believes that the polygraph has a certain error rate, one of the twelve envelopes is empty. If this envelope is drawn, all three will be released.
Rotten Banana Company will only release the Rotten Banana rankings on the last day of each month. It is said that Rotten Banana has conducted similar activities in China, but because Chinese netizens and Internet celebrities are extremely honest, selfless, brave, smart, beautiful, kind, harmonious, and friendly..., it has never been able to come up with a ranking, so it can only be carried out in Europe, where people's hearts are sinister.
…
It was already dawn, and the head bodyguard entered the church to check the situation. Both of them were still sleeping on the bench. After a while, Bobby was awakened by the sunlight, sat up lazily, and posted a status on Facebook: Disappointed, I didn't see the ghost again. But I will definitely persevere and prove it to those who doubt me.
Liang Xi sat up and sat there stupidly for a while, his whole body aching. Didn't they say who has the best bed? Whose bed can be harder than a bench?
Bobby didn't want to move either, so he asked, "What was the result of watching the video last night?"
Liang Xi said, "I have no money." Then he yawned.
Bobby asked, "Any results?"
Liang Xi: "I have a clue. I analyzed the situation of each internet celebrity, and it should not be the people from Rotten Banana Company who kidnapped them. Judging from the questions asked by the killer, he knows a lot about internet celebrities. Internet celebrities don't have a unified agency, so which specific agency would know about internet celebrities from different countries? Judging from the video, the degree of understanding is not very deep, and the killer even knows nothing about one of the girls. So let's just leave it at that. There are still two free chances to see ghosts, so cherish them while you can."
Bobby asked, "Aren't you going to solve the case?"
Liang Xi replied: "I don't plan to."
Liang Xi answered the phone: "Captain Liu."
Liu Zhen: "According to inside information, Yingluck was arrested by Blade. It is said that many criminal items were found in Yingluck's dormitory. There were guns with no serial numbers, cash in US dollars, euros and pounds, and even three passports with Yingluck's photos, different names and different nationalities."
"Haha, it's a waste." Liang Xi said, "If I were Isa, I would release Yingluck. But that's how the police work. If there's a tip-off, they have to investigate it. If there's evidence, they have to arrest people. Thresh set her up perfectly. I'm just curious about the whole thing, who is the unlucky one."
Liu Zhen didn't understand: "What do you mean?"
Liang Xi said: "Just wait, there will be a reversal, the best is yet to come."
Liang Xi chatted with Liu Zhen for a few words and then hung up the phone. Then another call came in: "Hello."
"Hello, I'm the account manager of Shuaixia Repair Shop. It's like this, we found out that your car was serviced at our repair shop two and a half years ago. I sincerely remind you to pay attention to the condition of your car. If it's inconvenient for you to come to our shop for maintenance, it's best to check the brake system and change the oil yourself."
Liang Xi said: "Thank you very much."
"wish you happiness."
Bobby took the mouthwash handed to him by the bodyguard, rinsed his mouth, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Liang Xi: "The car needs maintenance."
Bobby said, "I'll get you a Rolls-Royce."
Liang Xi had no interest at all: "Let's go." Things can't be put off any longer, the car has to be taken care of by himself. Going to a repair shop or 3S shop costs a lot of money. The brake system is fine, it was replaced three years ago, but the engine oil needs to be changed. Other spark plugs, fuel injectors and the like, will be changed after the engine is turned off. A 20-year-old car is important to maintain, Liang Xi decided to let nature take its course, break the car down, and then trade it for a younger second-hand car.
But who would believe me if I told them this? I, a top student in Chinese, couldn’t even change the oil in my engine.
On the way back, Liang Xi sent a message to Baker via social media: "If you are free this afternoon, please come to Mary's house to teach me how to change the oil in my car. If you are not free, please ignore this message." Liang Xi lives in an apartment and has no garage. Mary's family has a dedicated garage, but no car.
…
Liang Xi went back to his apartment to take a shower and sleep. He had planned to have lunch with Mary at noon, but Mary and some old ladies went to Brighton for a trip. He had no choice but to do it himself. Fortunately, there were a lot of ingredients in the refrigerator, so Liang Xi made a risotto. After eating, he lay in the rocking chair by the fireplace, read a book and drank black tea, and fell asleep unknowingly.
It was already past two in the afternoon when Liang Xi woke up. He walked out of the living room and saw the garage door open. He walked over and saw a pair of legs outside the car. Liang Xi felt something was wrong. Baker's feet shouldn't be so small. At this time, the person lying on the flatbed cart came out. It was Baker's sister Karin.
Karin was wearing a grey sleeveless tights with a mid-length collar, her hair wrapped in a pirate turban, and the muscles on her arms were prominent. The sweat mixed with some oil stains on her body made Karin look particularly sensual. Karin saw Liang Xi, paused for a few seconds, covered her chest with her left hand, and used her eyes to remind Liang Xi.
Liang Xi finally reacted: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Why is it you?"
Karin reached out her hand, Liang Xi grabbed it and pulled Karin up from the flatbed. Karin took the towel on the roof and wiped her sweat: "Have you ever seen a sister who is used to being bossed around by her brother? Baker is on duty today ."
Liang Xi didn't know what to say for a moment. Damn Baker, so embarrassing.
Karin didn't care. After many contacts, she had slowly changed her opinion of Liang Xi. Karin took a towel and walked around the car: "I cleaned the injectors, replaced the spark plugs, and added windshield washer fluid. The engine oil is fully synthetic, which can be changed every 10,000 kilometers. I also checked the tires. It's best to replace all four tires at once after another 5,000 kilometers. I'll also do a four-wheel alignment. There's no problem with the circuit, and there's no fault with the engine and transmission."
Liang Xi said repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you, I'm so sorry."
Karin glanced at Liang Xi and said, "Have you always thought that I was weak?"
Liang Xi said hurriedly: "No, no, it's not."
Karin asked, "Can I take a bath?"
"Of course." Liang Xi couldn't help but glance at Karin's collar again. Why couldn't he help it? God knows!
