220. Neighborly harmony
The old woman took the elevator downstairs to buy groceries.
Qiao Du followed the real estate agent Xiao Li to the room at the end of the corridor, the house type here is a one-bedroom mixed with two bedrooms and a living room, and the side is a one-bedroom living room, and when you open the door to enter the living room, then the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen.
The decoration of the house is not very trendy, but it is not old, and it has the texture of a house in the hometown where I have lived for more than ten years.
As soon as she walked into the room, Qiao Du saw a human figure lying on the ground with bright red words.
[He ended his life by himself, at least this is the end of his own choice!] 】
It was clean and spotlessly clean.
"Anyone died here?"
Qiao Twilight immediately asked.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw that the real estate agent Xiao Li's expression was frozen there.
After a while, Xiao Li squeezed out a stiff smile.
"Y-How do you know?"
"I guessed."
Jo Twilight scratched her head and pointed to the bright red text that outlined a humanoid shape that looked like a crime scene marker.
"Die here, right?"
“.”
Xiao Li's stiff smile froze again.
"Oh, because you have died, so it's a murderous house, so it's cheap to rent?"
Qiao Du felt as if she had grasped the point.
"Uh, yes, that's right."
The real estate agent wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and explained to Qiao Dui again.
"The previous tenant here was a 35-year-old office worker who worked for an Internet company, but was optimized to reduce costs and increase efficiency, then fell into depression, and later committed suicide here."
This story is not uncommon in Jiangcheng, as a first-tier city, there are naturally many migrant workers who work hard here, some of them have won their lives here, and some people have lost here.
When Qiao Du swiped her phone this morning, she saw a family, the husband and wife were originally the backbone of the company, and they took out a loan to buy a big house, but they were laid off halfway, and they couldn't afford to repay the loan, and the house was empty, and the house was still sold at a low price.
"Oh!"
Qiao Duan didn't suspect the other party, after all, it was the intermediary in the APP that Su Hong recommended to him, and this kind of thing, you can see it at a glance when you go back and check the information, and it makes no sense for the intermediary to deceive him.
"Because there were dead people, although it was cleaned up, other people who looked at the house felt unlucky, so they couldn't rent it out at a reduced price."
Xiao Li continued.
This kind of problem cannot be concealed by the agent, so as soon as the tenants hear this, most of them turn around and leave.
"Can that be cheaper?"
Qiao Du immediately asked.
"Huh?"
Xiao Li was stunned.
Soon, he reacted and took out his phone.
"I'll ask the landlord."
Xiao Li walked out of the house and called.
Qiao Du stood on the windowsill and looked down.
The height of the ninth floor is nothing in this urban area where there are many high-rise buildings, and the more than 30-storey high-rise buildings in the neighboring community block most of the view.
Some people say that the river view house should be bought the most outside, and it is best to jump from the balcony to the Lingjiang River, otherwise you buy the river view now, maybe the development next door will be developed in two years, directly blocking your view.
In this regard, Qiao Du felt that he couldn't afford it anyway.
He looked at the ground, and with a feeling of wanting to jump, he probed over.
"Young man."
Suddenly, a voice came from behind Qiao Dui.
He turned around and saw an old man standing in the living room.
"Old man, you're at the wrong door."
Qiao Du was blunt.
"Ah, no, I'm from 903 next door, and when I saw the door open, I came over to take a look."
The old man explained.
"Oh! Old man, are you going to be noisy at night, I see that these windows are all along the street, facing the main road. ”
Qiao Du simply chatted with the other party.
"It's quiet at night, don't worry."
The old man replied, asking Qiao Du again.
"Would you like some tea, I still have snacks and fruit over there."
"Okay."
Qiao Du agreed on the spot.
“?”
The old man was stunned, but soon took Qiao Du to the room on the other side of the corridor.
The decoration here is similar to the room Qiao Dui sees, but it has a unique smell of the elderly.
He served tea to Qiao Dui, as well as the biscuits in an iron box that the old man liked to buy, which had the taste of childhood.
Qiao Du ate two biscuits, drank tea, and chatted with the old man.
Nagging and chatting, he suddenly remembered the purpose of his visit this time, probed out, and saw what the real estate agent was looking for in the corridor.
"Xiao Li, I'm here."
Qiao Du beckoned.
"Ah, so it was here"
Xiao Li wiped the sweat from his forehead, probably thinking that Qiao Du heard the legend of the house and ran away directly.
"The neighbors here feel very good, this old man also invited me to eat biscuits, do you want to try two pieces, it tastes delicious."
Qiao Du handed a biscuit to Xiao Li.
"I don't need to, haha."
Xiao Li declined Qiao Dui's invitation with an embarrassed expression, and looked at the old man again.
"Uncle Sun, didn't you go for a walk today?"
"Just go, just go."
The old man answered.
Xiao Li pulled Qiao Duan, who was like a social terrorist, out of Uncle Sun's house.
"I just told the landlord, and he said that if you really want to live, make a price, and he will consider it."
Xiao Li said again.
"Is two thousand okay?"
Qiao Du was bold and careful, and spoke directly.
"I'll ask."
Xiao Li took his phone and walked away again.
Qiao Du stood in the corridor, feeling that the neighbors here were harmonious, the rent was low, and there might be abnormalities, so she would definitely feel very comfortable living by herself.
However, he also understood the art of pulling and playing, and decided to go back to the editorial department and use the database of Northern Heavy Industries to check what happened in this apartment.
With a hand, Qiao Du ate the last two cookies.
Xiao Li happened to come back at this time.
"The landlord said no problem."
"So decisive?"
Qiao Du regretted a little that she didn't open a lower price.
It seems that it is really difficult to rent out this kind of dead house.
"I'll go back at night and think about it, after all, I've died, and I can't decide so quickly, if it's confirmed, I'll be the first to call you tomorrow morning!"
Qiao Du said.
"Okay, think about it, this should be the cheapest house here"
Xiao Li was still unsatisfied, and tried his best to persuade Qiao Dui.
The two left the apartment building, and Xiao Li had no intention of taking Qiao Du to see other houses, as if he wanted to rent out this house.
Qiao Du didn't look at other houses, but went back to the editorial office, and after watering the grass in the pot, he turned on the computer and searched in the database of Northern Heavy Industries, and Qiao Du soon saw the office worker who unfortunately committed suicide.
"Fired for refusing the company's request to work overtime until twelve o'clock, according to neighbors, he fell into a state of depression and, shortly after, committed suicide, the case has been closed."
"According to neighbors?"
Something was wrong with Qiao Dupin.
