Chapter 163 Who is in the stairwell?
Miss Huang, the suspected lover of the landlord, looked at Xu Youyou with wariness, pretending to stand between the two of them unintentionally.
Xu Youyou didn't pay attention to her little thoughts and said casually: "Mr. Sun, you are too polite."
The original owner insisted: "Ms. Xu, please give me your bank card number. I want to thank you very much."
If Xu Youyou hadn't been raising the price, he wouldn't have been able to sell it at such a price, so he wanted to give Xu Youyou a commission according to the rules.
Xu Youyou didn't expect that this man would be so observant of rules even when he was going abroad. Not surprisingly, she saw a flash of displeasure in Miss Huang's eyes. Miss Huang even reached out and pulled his sleeve, but was ignored by the original owner of the house.
The bodyguard suddenly took a few steps towards the large potted plant behind Xu Youyou, scaring the white-haired guy hiding behind the potted plant so much that he turned around and ran away, leaving everyone with only a glimpse of his hurriedly fleeing back.
"Boss, someone is eavesdropping. It seems to be the cousin of the Gu family." said the bodyguard.
Xu Youyou nodded casually to indicate that she understood. This man had been like this in his two lives, always doing these sneaky things and never getting involved in good things. He also never stopped telling tales. Xu Youyou thought about it and pointed at her cell phone at Xu Fang.
Xu Fang immediately understood and quietly turned on the recording on her phone while no one else was paying attention.
The original owner was still urging Xu Youyou to provide her bank account number, but Xu Youyou once again firmly refused: "No need, I'm not setting this up with you, and I don't need this little money."
The original owner of the house said: "Miss Xu is really a person who does not covet wealth and fame."
He had originally prepared tens of millions of dollars as a thank you gift, but he didn't expect Xu Youyou to not even look at it.
Xu Youyou thought these words were strange, so she just smiled casually and was about to say goodbye and leave.
The original owner of the house hadn't realized Xu Youyou's unhappiness yet, and asked with a smile: "Miss Xu, do you have anything to do later? I really want to thank you, Miss Xu. If you don't want money, can I treat you to a meal?"
Xu Youyou glanced at Miss Huang, who looked even more defensive, and didn't want to have too much involvement with the original owner, so she said directly: "I have already made an appointment."
She made up an excuse to leave, not noticing at all that the original owner's eyes suddenly turned gloomy after she left.
Sitting in her own car, Xu Youyou held Guaiguai and casually told Xu Fang: "Contact a few more agents. I always feel that the agents today are not honest."
Xu Fang stared at the road ahead, slowed down the car a little, and said without turning his head: "Boss, I also feel something is wrong. I always feel that they are hiding something, but I can't put my finger on it. Looking closely, Mr. Sun and Ms. Huang are also weird."
Xu Youyou felt the same as Xu Fang, but she couldn’t tell clearly what these agents were planning.
Unexpectedly, Guaiguai suddenly said, "Woof woof! There is a smell of death in that villa."
Xu Youyou's hand that was stroking the dog's head suddenly stopped. She had never thought of this possibility. She lowered her voice and asked Guaiguai: "Baby, why did you suddenly say that?"
Xu Fang in front was not surprised by Xu Youyou's mumbling. After all, not everyone can understand dogs talking, and Xu Youyou, the employer, has always had the habit of talking to puppies.
He said obediently: "Wangwang, while you were bidding, I walked around the villa again. It seemed that the stairwell had a particularly strong odor."
Dogs have sensitive noses, unlike humans. Xu Youyou stayed in the villa for so long but didn't notice any strange smells at all.
Xu Fang's phone suddenly rang. She answered the call with a Bluetooth headset. Two minutes later, she turned around and asked, "Boss, an agent from another real estate company just contacted me and said there's a villa for sale nearby. Do you have time to go take a look?"
Xu Youyou nodded. It was still early in the morning and she didn't have to go to work, so she had plenty of time to wander around and look around.
The real estate agents this time were two ladies, one looked to be in her thirties and was very capable in her words and deeds, the other was in her early twenties and still had the youthfulness of a newbie on her face.
"Ms. Xu, this villa that we are urgently selling is a little special. I have to tell you something. The house was originally occupied by an elderly person, and their younger generations have been living abroad all year round. The elderly person passed away last month due to illness, and their younger generations have already immigrated. This time the owner is returning to the country and plans to leave at the end of the month. Because it is really urgent to sell, many people mind a house where someone has passed away, so the price will be relatively low." The older female agent patiently explained the situation of the house.
Xu Youyou nodded casually, thinking that it seemed that every property for sale she encountered recently was going abroad, and asked casually, "Is the villa in Zixiyuan listed in your real estate company?"
The female agent looked a little strange when she heard this and asked, "Miss Xu, are you interested in that apartment?"
"What's wrong? What's wrong with that house?" Xu Youyou asked.
The other party nodded and said, "That house is ominous."
"What do you mean?"
The agent explained: "About half a year ago, the villa's hostess went out for fun and fell into the sea. Her body has not been found. Since then, there have been frequent noises in the house. Several people have been hired to do something but it has not improved the situation. The male owner doesn't dare to continue living there and plans to sell the house and move abroad."
Xu Youyou paused for a moment, then said with a smile: "You guys are well-informed. I thought I could get a bargain."
The agent said, "Speaking of which, the mistress's father has also issued a reward. He wants to collect his daughter's body. Anyone who salvages his daughter's body will be rewarded with 20 million in cash."
Xu Youyou couldn't help but sigh: "This father seems to love his daughter very much."
The agent said: "It is said that she is an only child. After the couple divorced, the old father did not remarry and raised the child alone. After she finally grew up and got married, who knew that she would encounter such a thing? This villa was a wedding gift from the old father. But he was lucky because he bought it before the housing prices went up. At that time, the prices were not as high as they are now."
Xu Youyou asked: "When something happened to his daughter, did his father-in-law never suspect that it was his son-in-law who did it?"
The agent was obviously quite familiar with the matter, and lowered his voice and said, "This case was quite a big deal before, but the police have investigated it many times. It is said that the hostess has the habit of sea fishing. She was clearly captured by the surveillance camera in the villa area that day. There is even a video of her on the boat. She did fall into the water. And the host was at work that day, so there is evidence of his absence."
Xu Youyou frowned slightly, unable to understand for a moment, if the hostess did die while sea fishing, then whose body was in the stairwell of the villa?
