Chapter 85: Someone Died in the House
Qin Song looked at Pei Xingzhi and asked him for his opinion. Pei Xingzhi thought for a moment and said, "The work I have is a bit urgent. I may have to work for another hour."
Qin Song was afraid that Pei's mother couldn't hear him, so he repeated, "Xingzhi's work is not finished yet. It may take an hour before he can leave the studio."
"It's okay." Mother Pei's voice was obviously a little more relaxed. "Xiao Li is late. You can still make it in time after you finish your work."
Qin Song nodded: "Okay, then we will go back as soon as we are done. Don't worry, Mom."
Mother Pei: "Hey, Mom is waiting for you at home."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Song put his hands behind his back and walked into the office: "Come on, I'll leave work early after I'm done!"
Pei Xingzhi pushed his glasses and looked at her back with an obsessed look: "Okay."
"Brother Pei." Ye Ci stood up from his chair and said to Pei Xingzhi pitifully, "Can I go back with you later? My parents are out playing these days, and I'm the only one at home. I've been eating takeout for three or four days in a row and I really don't want to eat anymore..."
Pei Xingzhi raised his eyebrows: "So, you want to go back with me and have a free meal?"
Ye Ci nodded rapidly: "Yeah! It's been almost a month since I last had a meal with you. I think Auntie must have missed me."
"..." Pei Xingzhi sighed helplessly, "Yes, I miss you. Remember to buy a bigger bowl when you go there later. The bowls at home can't satisfy your appetite at all."
"Hehe..." Ye Ci was satisfied, "Thank you, Brother Pei!"
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Pei Xingzhi locked the door of the studio, took his wife and best friend, and left the earliest shift ever.
Two Mercedes-Benz drove out of the community parking lot one after the other and arrived at the destination before the evening rush hour.
Coincidentally, as soon as they walked to the door of the apartment building, they met the agent Xiao Li and his... large family of clients.
It’s no exaggeration, it’s really a big family! From the little kids in kindergarten to the elderly with hunched backs, Qin Song took a quick look and estimated that there were about twelve people, and one elevator could hardly accommodate them all.
"Xiao Li, this is..." Qin Song pointed at the large group of customers, a little dumbfounded.
Xiao Li explained with an embarrassed smile: "Ms. Qin, this is the buyer who is looking at the house."
Pei Xingzhi held Qin Song's hand tightly, leaning his body slightly, intentionally protecting her behind him.
"Who's buying it?" he asked in a cold tone.
Xiao Li pointed to a young couple in the corner and answered softly, "They bought it as a wedding house."
Pei Xingzhi frowned coldly: "Why are there so many people here?"
"Hey..." Xiao Li rubbed his forehead with a headache, took two steps closer and whispered: "The money to buy the house was pooled together by their whole family. When the house is transferred, they will all move in, so... they came together to look at the house."
"... So many people? Living together?!" Qin Song was really a little dumbfounded. "This house is indeed very big, but with more than a dozen people living here... isn't it too crowded?"
Xiao Li smiled bitterly and shrugged, almost speaking in a whisper: "That's it, everyone hasn't arrived yet. I heard from the young couple that they have two sisters and an aunt on their way..."
“……” Qin Song’s eyes turned dark.
Pei Xingzhi said expressionlessly, "It's their business how many people they want to live there. I have no interest in interfering. But it's absolutely not okay for so many people to go in and look at the house together. Too many people can easily cause trouble. We just solved the last trouble, and we don't want to get into a new one so soon."
"I understand your feelings." Xiao Li said, "I have communicated with them before coming here. When you come to view the house, you must go in batches. Only three or four people should go in at a time. No one will rush in all at once."
"Xiao Song, what do you think?" Pei Xingzhi did not agree immediately, but asked Qin Song's opinion first.
Qin Song hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded reluctantly: "Alright. Now that they are here, if you don't let them in to see the house, they will definitely make trouble later."
"Xiao Li, have you told them that there are surveillance cameras in our house?"
Xiao Li: "I've said it, they all know it."
Qin Song pulled Pei Xingzhi's hand and said, "Let's go upstairs and look at the house."
"Hey!" Xiao Li breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you Miss Qin for your understanding."
Qin Song was pregnant, and Pei Xingzhi was afraid that too many people would squeeze her, so he asked Xiao Li to take the group of customers up the elevator first, and he, Ye Ci, and Qin Song stayed behind to take the next one.
"bite--"
The elevator door closed and a group of chattering people were taken up by the elevator.
"Oh my god." Ye Ci put his hands on his hips and was finally able to complain out loud.
"This is too much! There are more than a dozen people looking at the house, and more than a dozen people will live together in the future. This is even worse than renting a house together. I can't even imagine what they will do with Aunt Pei's house if they really sell it to them."
"Eh..." Qin Song sighed and shook his head with a complicated expression, "They said they bought a wedding house for the young couple, but in the end all the aunts and uncles came to live in it. If they couldn't afford so much money, they wouldn't have bought such an expensive house. Why would they do this and cause such a big unhappiness in their future life?"
"If the person involved doesn't consider it himself, what can we spectators say?" Pei Xingzhi raised his hand and placed it on Qin Song's shoulder, kneading Qin Song's cheek affectionately with his fingers.
"Let them be, we just sell the house."
Qin Song rubbed his fingers: "Yeah."
There were so many people looking at the house that Pei's mother was really scared when she opened the door. She couldn't handle it alone, so she didn't rush to let Xiao Li bring people in. Instead, she waited for Qin Song and Pei Xingzhi to arrive before letting them in in batches.
"Ye Ci, do me a favor." Qin Song patted Ye Ci's shoulder and said suddenly.
Ye Ci: "Sister-in-law, you say."
Qin Song leaned close to him and whispered in his ear: "Follow them in and use your phone to take pictures of the entire process of them looking at the house. Try to take pictures of everyone."
"There are so many of them that it's easy to block out blind spots. The surveillance cameras in the house may not be able to capture these blind spots clearly."
Ye Ci did not refuse and immediately took out his cell phone and went into the house.
There were four people in the first group who viewed the house. Ye Ci couldn’t take pictures by himself, so he asked Xiao Li to help him. Xiao Li was also afraid of something going wrong, so he agreed without much thought.
Several people were on guard and immediately took necessary precautions, but in the end they were unable to prevent the accident.
When the third group of people went in to see the house, the elderly man standing in the middle suddenly wailed at the top of his lungs, and then fell to the ground in front of everyone's gaze.
