Chapter 8 Huge Sums of Money
Jiale Real Estate is in the north of the city, and the seafood market is almost the opposite, taking the No. 892 bus around most of the city, and an hour later, I got off at the gate of Xianle Seafood Market.
At half past three in the afternoon, the heat was steaming, the sun was shining, and the heat from the ground burned the soles of my feet directly through the soles of my feet. I trotted into the shade and was greeted by the smell of seafood.
The weather is hot, and the shopkeepers are drowsy, unable to raise their spirits to greet people, and often people come up to them before they lift their eyelids to give you a reaction. I consulted a few along the road, and the kind of young face denied it at first glance, most of them came to see the store for their parents, and the and urine in my crotch pants were not clear, so it was naturally impossible to know the information I wanted.
I asked a few old people, either I couldn't hear clearly, or I was demented and forgetful, saying that there seemed to be such a person, and it didn't seem to be, it sounded very unreliable, and I left after hearing half of it.
Finally, I stopped at a seafood shop in the corner, the owner was a middle-aged aunt, dressed in fancy clothes, but her eyes were shining, and she seemed to be calculating others all the time. At this age, with this kind of appearance, at first glance it is the person I am looking for. Big moms often make contributions to the spread of gossip that ordinary people can't match.
At first, I opened my mouth to ask for news, but my aunt was not happy, and she was very unhappy with a straight face, so I had to grit my teeth and buy a lobster weighing one and a half pounds.
I asked, "Auntie, have you ever had a scar-faced man here before?" After thinking about it, I added, "He spent about five years ago at this seafood market. ”
The aunt's expression seemed to be a little strange for a moment, but she hid it well, and I thought it was my own dazzled and didn't care. She asked, "Why are you asking this?" ”
I laughed angrily: "Did I ask you or did you ask me?" ”
The aunt didn't answer, she was silent for a while, as if she was thinking, and then she said yes, and then she said no. I got impatient and asked, "Is there any?" ”
Auntie: "Oh, don't be impatient, young man, my aunt is old and has a bad memory...... I remember there was such a person. However, the seafood market is full of people, and it is a bit difficult for me to tell him exactly what his name is. Otherwise, you leave your phone number and call you when your aunt remembers. ”
I thought about it, but there seemed to be no other way, so I left my phone number.
After the aunt sent me away with a smile, her expression immediately fell, and she turned around and made a call: "Qiangzi, are you messing with someone?" ”
……
I didn't know anything about my aunt's call, and after leaving the store, I went to ask a few old people, but I still didn't get anything.
The seafood market is very close to Xiaoya's parents' house, and I said that I had come here, so I went to my mother-in-law's house for a meal. Xiaoya happened to be there, and she talked about the house during dinner. I'm worried about this, but I can't show it, so I hide it quite deeply, and it's still normal on the surface.
After dinner, the two of them talked sweetly for a while, I saw that it was getting late, and I was afraid that I would encounter something unclean on the road, so I said goodbye to Xiaoya and went back to Ma Ming's house. Xiaoya asked me to stay at the hotel, but I was also rejected on the grounds that I wanted to make a good impression on my future parents.
As I got on the bus back, I received a phone call from someone claiming to be a strong son and saying he wanted to buy the apartment I owned.
I felt a little baffled: "How do you know I'm going to sell a house?" ”
"You posted information on the Internet, and I just happened to see it."
I sighed, but I didn't think about it, "I'm sorry, that house has found a home, and I can't sell it to you." ”
But the strong son said, "How much does he give?" Did the money give you? If the money doesn't arrive, it's not a transaction, and you can regret it at any time. ”
I hesitated. Indeed, although Ma Ming has made verbal promises, none of them have been fulfilled so far. said to help me solve the ghost haunting, and in the end I had to rely on myself to find someone. said that he wanted 150,000 plus a commission to buy my house, but now he doesn't even have a contract paper. After getting along for a while, what I have seen the most is his ability, but who said that people with ability must keep their promises?
As if realizing the hesitation in my tone, Qiangzi took advantage of the victory and said: "I will buy your house for 200,000 yuan, and the transaction will be completed on the spot, and cash will be fine." ”
When I heard this, I was a little moved, so I made an appointment to meet him in the private room of a teahouse outside the community. As soon as I met, I chuckled when I saw him. Scar. Vicious. A momentum that is not easy to mess with.
I muttered to myself, thinking that I had been looking for a Scarface for two days, why did a Scarface suddenly pop up and want to buy my house? Could it be that he is the murderer I am looking for?
But I didn't expect that this strong son's attitude was very kind, although he had a gangster-like face, he smiled and greeted people, and rubbed his hand on his clothes and shook hands with me.
I'm a person who is easy to have a good impression of people from the details, so I wonder if I'm too suspicious and don't look like a hit-and-run person.
After shaking hands, I beckoned him to sit down at the booth, and I noticed what he was wearing. Dirty, covered in smudges and sweat. It makes people very suspicious, can a person like him really come up with 200,000 cash? You must know that 200,000 is not a small amount of money.
After shaking hands, I beckoned him to sit down at the booth, and I noticed what he was wearing. Dirty, covered in smudges and sweat. It makes people very suspicious, can a person like him really come up with 200,000 cash? You know, 200,000 is a lot of money.
Out of politeness, I still gave him some detailed information about the property, close to the third ring road, good road section, easy to travel, small area, but at this price is also very cost-effective.
In the end, I hesitated, but told me about the haunting. And made it clear that the haunting was the real reason why I was in a hurry to sell the house. Hadron listened dispensably at first, and even looked a little distracted, as if he had something else to inquire about, until I said that the house was haunted, and he was suddenly startled.
He interrupted me with a sneering smile: "You're kidding, how can there be ghosts in the world?" You don't want to sell me the house, do you? ”
According to his distrustful attitude, if he really bought my house, he would suffer a big loss. I briefly talked about the family of three, and when I said that the family of three died in a car accident, Qiangzi's expression was a little strange, but I didn't say a word about what happened to the family of three and me.
Immediately after that, Hadron talked to me about the price.
Although I am poor, I have a conscience in doing things, and I have no intention of cheating him in this house.
"To tell you the truth, there is a person who is willing to buy my house for 150,000 yuan, but I didn't sell it. If you want, add 30,000 yuan, 180,000 yuan, and take the house. You pay the transfer fee and taxes. ”
Hadron hesitated.
"Or you can make a deposit first."
"I'll think about it again." He lit a cigarette and the conversation changed abruptly.
"Brother, why do I think you look familiar?"
"Huh?" His words stunned me when I asked.
"I want to think about it...... Have you been to the seafood market for the past two days? When I bought fish, I seemed to have met you, do you still have an impression? ”
Qiangzi's words made me stunned.
How could it be such a coincidence?
I was suspicious and frowned.
Scarface, seafood market...... Could it be ......
I subconsciously clenched my fists, understanding that the purpose of the other party's trip was not to buy a house, but to test it. It seems that I inquired about him at the seafood market and he found out.
If you think about it, Qiangzi was not interested in the layout of the house since he entered the house, and even when I introduced the house to him, he did not listen very carefully, but was very interested in the 'haunting' I mentioned.
So I lied that my girlfriend wanted to eat crabs, so I went to the seafood market.
But Qiangzi asked again: "Brother, I remember that your hand was empty, and you didn't buy anything." ”
I was more vigilant and more determined in my guesses.
Qiangzi, I'm afraid it's the hit-and-run murderer.
The thought of the murderer sitting in front of me, pretending to be the person who bought the house and talking to me casually for so long, gave me goosebumps. Qiangzi has been asking me about the family of three, which undoubtedly made me more sure of my thoughts, and I casually said a few more perfunctory words, and then planned to get up and leave.
Qiangzi shouted twice behind me, I pretended not to hear, walked quickly to the door, just before I was about to open the door, suddenly there was a sound of whirring wind behind my head, I subconsciously squatted on the spot to dodge, the ashtray smashed on the door with a loud noise, and the cigarette butts were scattered all over the ground.
