The day before the typhoon, the apartment management committee discovered that the rooftop key was missing.

The borough chief had only come to remind everyone to bring in flowerpots, but unexpectedly was kept for a meeting too.

Speaking of the rooftop, some residents dry quilts there and some grow basil, but everyone said they had not taken the key.

The building manager checked the register while asking everyone not to blame one another yet.

If the door lock were damaged by the wind, the whole building would be at risk.

An auntie suddenly remembered that a food delivery rider had delivered a bento to the rooftop door that morning.

Everyone took the elevator up and saw that the key was hanging beside the fire box.

It turned out the delivery rider was afraid the bento would get wet, so he hung the bag higher and casually hung the key up too.
