chasing the dark

Chapter 185 Heating Inspection

Ever since the homicide, Yushan Garden has been restless.Especially when watching the salvage scene in Jinghu Lake, almost every day, some owners ask the property manager Geng whether the case has been solved, whether they live in the park, and whether their safety can be guaranteed.

The property has made amends, strengthened security, hired someone to repair the camera, increased the number of security patrols, and strengthened access control management, especially outsiders must be confirmed by the owner before entering.

However, it is difficult for everyone to agree. While some people praised the proper remedial measures of the property, some owners were full of complaints.I think the access control management is too strict and it is too inconvenient to enter and exit.

It was the weekend, and the son of an elderly family living in the park came to visit his elderly parents. Because he was required to register at the gate before entering, he had a dispute with the security guard and complained to the property office.

When Manager Geng was understanding, moved with reason, explained patiently, and apologized sincerely, the lady at the front desk knocked on the half-open door: "Excuse me, excuse me."

Seeing that the two parties stopped talking and both looked towards the door, she said, "Manager, the people from the heating company are here."

As the heating period approaches, the heating station has started pressurizing the water to prepare for normal operation when the heating is officially started.

It's normal for the heating company to come here at this time, but Manager Geng was shocked when he heard it, because he knew that the people in these heating companies were different from the usual ones.

"Let them wait first, I'll be there in a while."

The owner who complained was only dissatisfied with being interrogated by security every time he came, and he had no other demands except to vent.After being interrupted by the lady at the front desk, the previous fire extinguished quite a bit.Coupled with Manager Geng's reassurance, he finally died down and left the property manager's office.

After sending people out, Manager Geng wiped his forehead. It was almost winter in the capital, and he was still sweating profusely.He secretly scolded the housekeeper in charge of building No. 25, when he was sick, it just happened to catch up with these few days.

Otherwise, there is no need for him to come forward, just let the housekeeper take the people there.

Xiang Guangming, who was sitting in the rest area waiting, was calm and relaxed. He whispered to Xiao Zheng from the technical department who was also wearing the uniform of the heating company next to him: "Just check yours for a while, and I will hold him back."

Xiao Zheng has been engaged in technical work for nearly two years. He used to work in an appraisal office. This year, he passed the police recruitment examination and entered the technical department of the Municipal Bureau.

Because Lao Wu and others participated in the last Jinghu salvage, they were afraid of being recognized by others, so he was specially selected as a new face.

Xiao Zheng nodded seriously: "Don't worry, Brother Xiang, I know what to do."

After all, he is not Mengxin Xiaobai, even if the mission this time is different from the previous ones, it will be just a matter of adapting to the circumstances.

The property manager personally brought someone to the door, but the owner did not suspect him.It's just that I have some criticisms about the household inspection this year.

"As long as there is a family in the building who adds a lift pump or taps water without permission, the heating of the whole building will be affected. This is for everyone's benefit. Who doesn't want to keep their home warm in winter, right?" Bring out the reasons discussed in advance.

After symbolically inspecting several houses upstairs, he went down to the seventh floor, and he repeated this set of words to the residents of No. [-].

Jin Yuyang wondered: "I rent this place. The heating is a fixed facility of the house. It needs the owner's consent. I can't be the owner."

Plans had been made for various situations, Manager Geng took out his phone and opened the wechat dialog between him and the homeowner.

"I contacted him yesterday. You see, he has no objection. He also said that we should look into it, otherwise the heating will not be hot, and the heating bill will be in vain."

"Isn't it?" Xiang Guangming echoed, "Last year there was a residential area where the heating in the entire building was not hot. After checking, I found out that a family installed a faucet privately and let water out every day."

He suddenly changed the subject: "Isn't your home safe?"

"How is it possible!" Jin Yuyang looked worried, "I've lived here for more than a year, and I haven't touched anything except changing the light bulb."

"Then what are you afraid of?" Xiang Guangming squinted at him, his face was full of words that you don't want to let him see, because there are ghosts in his heart.

"I didn't say not to let them see." Jin Yuyang shrugged helplessly, "However, my room is a bit messy, so please be careful."

"Don't worry, I won't touch anything except the heater." Xiang Guangming shook his head at Xiao Zheng, motioning him to go in and check.

He asked Jin Yuyang again: "Where is the valve?"

Residents often make some changes according to their own needs when decorating, so the valves of each house are not necessarily in the same position.

"Come with me." Jin Yuyang led the people to the kitchen.

Opening the cabinet door under the sink, he pointed to the inside and said, "It's right here, look, there's no pump or faucet."

Xiang Guangming didn't take it seriously, and gestured for Xiao Zheng to check.

He himself wandered in the direction of the living room: "Eh? This should be the terrace, why is it sealed?"

"It's closed when I moved here, not a balcony." Jin Yuyang followed into the balcony.

"That's why the homeowner sealed it up during the renovation." Xiang Guangming made trouble, "The addition of floor heating pipelines must be reported, otherwise it will be treated as a private addition."

Jin Yuyang frowned: "I rent a house, what does it have to do with me?"

"You can't say that." Xiang Guangming put his waist on a fork, "No matter who the owner is, are you living here now? Then you have to cooperate with us to find out how big the heating area is, and whether it has been added, demolished or modified without permission. , whether it complies with the relevant regulations..."

He didn't say a lot, not to mention Jin Yuyang, even the property manager Geng was confused by what he said.

"Well... do you need to recalculate the area?"

Xiang Guangming asked: "This needs to refer to the original architectural drawings, do you have any in your property?"

Meeting his meaningful eyes, Manager Geng swallowed the word "yes" back: "Well, I have to go back and look it up."

Jin Yuyang didn't expect such a troublesome thing to happen, so he asked a little irritably, "If it is really necessary to install floor heating, what should I do?"

Xiang Guangming thought for a while and said, "The difference in the heating fee from the year the house was handed over has to be made up, and a late fee has to be paid. The specific amount of money has to be measured and calculated. Then submit it to the company for review..."

After another long discussion, more than ten minutes have passed.

Xiao Zheng wandered over from nowhere: "It's getting late, should we check the next household first? We'll solve the problem in his family later!"

Xiang Guangming waved his hand: "Well, it's useless to say more. Manager Geng, you go back and find the architectural drawings."

Manager Geng nodded hurriedly: "Success, I will let you know as soon as I find it."

The three walked away swaggeringly, Jin Yuyang closed the door, put his ears on the door panel and listened to the sound of them going away, his eyes turned to the closed second bedroom door, and let out a long breath.
