Chapter 164 I'm Jealous
Xu Youyou couldn’t figure it out for a while, so she simply stopped thinking about it.
Anyway, Guaiguai would not lie to her. Since there was a smell of a dead body in the stairwell, there must be something hidden in the villa.
The real estate transaction has been completed. The huge sum of money for buying the house is now in the escrow account, and the Gu family’s money cannot be recovered. Xu Youyou did not forget the female agent who was explaining diligently in front of her. She pointed to the villa she was in and said to the agent, "I want this one."
The female agent's face suddenly lit up with joy.
Xu Youyou didn't say any more nonsense and urged Xu Fang to drive to the public security bureau in the area where the villa was previously located.
The police were also surprised when they received her report. The case happened half a year ago, and they still remembered how heartbroken the hostess's father was at that time. Their Public Security Bureau and the Municipal Bureau's Criminal Investigation Brigade investigated several times and took it very seriously, but in the end, the case was closed as a accident involving falling into the sea.
"Ms. Xu, you said that you originally wanted to buy that house, but when you were looking at the house, you smelled a stench of corpse when passing by the stairwell and suspected that there was a body hidden inside?" the police officer asked.
Xu Youyou nodded slightly.
The two policemen looked at each other, and then looked down at the file in their hands. The file clearly recorded that the police searched the entire villa at that time, including the stairwell, but did not find any abnormal clues about the hostess.
Without any concrete evidence, they could not reopen the case based solely on the very subjective smell of a corpse.
Xu Youyou looked at them with difficulty and said, "The stench of corpses may not necessarily be the hostess's body. It is also possible that someone else died there later."
The two policemen immediately became solemn. They suddenly felt that they were blinded by using past history to judge the present.
Moreover, they also felt that the incident of falling into the sea half a year ago was a bit strange. The villa owner often went out to sea, so she shouldn't be so careless. However, investigating cases has always been about evidence, and the surveillance results were too obvious, making the case seem too simple.
Soon, the police applied for a search warrant, and Xu Youyou did not leave, but went to the villa with her bodyguards.
Coincidentally, the villa is also bustling right now.
Mrs. Gu and her daughter were watching the housekeeping staff clean the entire villa.
Originally, Mrs. Gu planned to tear down all the decorations in the villa and then redecorate it according to Gu Xueying's preferences.
However, the cost of buying the villa was seriously overspent, so Mrs. Gu simply gave up the trouble and asked someone to clean it up first.
"Although the decoration is a bit old, you can see that good materials were used. You can just add a few pieces of furniture according to your preferences later." Mrs. Gu comforted Gu Xueying perfunctorily.
Gu Xueying did not dare to show her unhappiness, but continued to play the role of a good daughter conscientiously: "Mom, when I separated from my sister today, she looked at me with a strange look in her eyes. Is she angry? Do you think I shouldn't let our family buy a villa? How about I transfer this villa to my sister?"
When Mrs. Gu heard this, she immediately said, "It's her business if she's angry. What your father and I gave you is yours. Don't worry about those rumors. If someone is stubborn and doesn't want to be a daughter of the Gu family, she will regret it in the future."
Gu Xueying always knew how to please her mother. She smiled and said, "Mom, no matter what others think, in my heart, being a daughter to mom and dad is the happiest thing in the world."
As expected, Mrs. Gu was coaxed into a smile, and she patted her daughter's head: "Mom loves you the most in my heart, and I'm afraid some weird person will show up one day to snatch my daughter away from me, so you can't run away with them."
Ever since Gu Xueying learned that Xu Youyou grew up in an orphanage, she has never tried to find her biological parents. She naturally assumed that her biological parents were not a well-off family.
It is better not to acknowledge your parents who have no money.
The mother and daughter were talking affectionately together when someone suddenly came to the villa. Hearing the doorbell ring, the nearest housekeeper went to open the door and saw two uniformed police officers.
"Police, why did they come to our house?" Mrs. Gu asked with a frown.
"Madam, they came with a search warrant, and it's not easy to keep them outside." The housekeeper said in a low voice.
Mrs. Gu nodded casually: "Then let someone come in, you go prepare the tea."
Mrs. Gu was ready to entertain them, but when she saw Xu Youyou behind the two policemen, her expression became strange: "Why are you here again? You are not welcome in this house!"
The police originally thought it was just a normal report, but now seeing Mrs. Gu's defensive look, their hearts skipped a beat and they asked, "Are you Mr. Sun's later wife?"
The police did not know Mrs. Gu, but she was the person who handled the case half a year ago. They just thought that the hostess's husband could not stand the loneliness and remarried.
Mrs. Gu felt greatly offended when she heard this: "Be careful with your words. Do I look like someone's second marriage? I'm a first marriage! My husband is Gu Jianming! We just bought this house from Mr. Sun!"
The policeman immediately said: "I'm sorry, I didn't find out the situation clearly."
But they still did not drop their scrutinizing gazes, and there was even a vague sense of tension, as if as long as Mrs. Gu showed any sign of abnormality, they would immediately arrest her and detain her.
Xu Youyou looked at Mrs. Gu and thought, this person is still the same, always talking about her first marriage and still as averse to others knowing that she is married for the second time.
The police officer explained, "Mrs. Gu, we received a report that there was a stench of corpse coming from the stairwell of your house. This is a search warrant. Please cooperate with us."
Mrs. Gu was angry again: "How can the house I just bought today smell like a corpse? You have to be responsible for saying such things. Don't you know how much impact a murder case has on a house?"
The prices of haunted houses and haunted houses on the market are generally low, so many people would rather buy haunted houses and live in them in order to save money.
Of course, there are also many unscrupulous people who deliberately conceal the news even though they are selling haunted houses.
The policeman said with a serious face, "Mrs. Gu, since we have received the report, we cannot ignore it. If we find no problems after the inspection, it can be regarded as clearing the name of your house. I hope you can cooperate with our work."
Mrs. Gu turned and glared at Xu Youyou: "It's you! You were the one who reported the case, right? You ungrateful bastard, you can even deny your own parents, and now you're trying your best to make trouble, you're just jealous of Yingying!"
Xu Youyou spread her hands and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I am jealous of her. I am jealous that she has to please you in order to buy a haunted house!"
