chapter 1 I sold a Haunted House

My name is Kaleb Smith After I lost my job two years ago, I went to work in childhood friend store.

I childhood friend working as a real estate agent. He opened two stores, and I worked in one of them.

Because I was good at talking, I did quite well in this industry. I bought a car worth more than 300,000 yuan in full in the first year, and saved a lot of money in the second year.

I thought to myself, if I work for another ten years or so, wouldn’t I be able to reach the pinnacle of my life?

But just a few days ago, something happened to the store.

The cause of the matter was a house I sold. Less than half a year later, the buyer and his wife came to me to check out, saying that the house I sold to them was a Haunted House.

What is a Haunted House?

Generally speaking, a house is called a Haunted House if there are abnormal deaths, such as homicide, suicide, and accidental death.

For people who buy a house, as long as someone has died in that house, whether it was a normal death or not, they will consider it a Haunted House.

In our industry, there are clear rules about this. If the house is listed because of a death, whether it is a normal death or not, it must be clearly stated in the contract to the customer, and it cannot be sold without the customer's knowledge. Go out, otherwise you are violating the rules and damaging the reputation of the entire industry.

Although there are still unruly people running around from time to time, I am a very rule-abiding person.

I repeatedly assured the buyer and his wife that no one could have died in that house. I even called the seller in front of them to ask for confirmation.

The seller also said that the house was not a Haunted House and no one had died in it.

But the buyer and his wife seemed to have a mental problem. Someone must have died inside. They said that when they were sleeping in the master bedroom, they always felt like a pair of eyes staring at them, causing them to have nightmares every night for the past six months. .

This couple made trouble in our store every day, which seriously affected our store's business. In the end, we were forced to call the police and let the police handle the matter.

Later, I childhood friend Meng Yifan and the couple that we went to the police station together.

The police were also a little speechless after knowing the whole story.

After all, the couple had no evidence to prove that anyone had died in that house. They only said that they felt a pair of eyes staring at them while they were sleeping.

Since the store's business was affected, Bavo Jones was also very angry, saying that the couple had mental problems and should go to a psychiatric hospital.

As a result, the two parties had a big quarrel at the police station.

The police were also very responsible. They sent two police officers to visit the area to investigate whether there had been any deaths in that house. They also checked in the internal system whether there had been any murders in that area.

The conclusion was that no one had died in that house, and there had been no murders in that area.

I was finally vindicated, and the police warned the couple not to cause trouble in our store again in the future.

I thought this farce would end here, but within two days, the couple came again.

They acted rogue and forced us to check out, and also compensated them for the corresponding mental damages.

"It's absolutely amazing, it's really amazing, two mentally ill people!"

Bavo Jones was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, so he called us all over: "Everyone, please think of a way. If they continue to make trouble like this, we won't have to do business, and everyone will have to eat dirt next month."

Colleagues in the store were also helpless. After all, even the police had mediated, so what could they do?

That is to say, it is illegal to hit someone these days, otherwise this couple would have been admitted to the hospital for orthopedics.

I said, "Since they said that house is a Haunted House, let's go in and stay for two nights. If we both feel it's normal, then it's not that the house is abnormal, but that they themselves are abnormal."

After everyone heard what I said, they all agreed.

"The second boss still has a way."

"Let's see how they fight again then!"

Bavo Jones also agreed with my suggestion, patted me on the shoulder and said: "Since the house was sold by the Second-in-command and the idea was also thought up by the Second-in-command, then this arduous task will be left to you, Second-in-command."

Of course I was non-committal and didn’t think it was anything.

Don't say it's not a Haunted House, even if it is a Haunted House, I'm not afraid.

In the end, Bavo Jones invited the couple in, and after much talk, the couple finally agreed to let people from our store stay for two nights.

They seemed very confident and said that if there were problems with the house, we would have to invite the seller to come and discuss the move out.

We have also prepared for the worst. If we really have to check out in the end, the worst we can do is refund the agency fee and not give up my 10,000 commission. After all, if they continue to make trouble like this, we will only lose more. many.

There's just one thing I don't understand.

This couple was ridiculously confident, acting as if we were bound to encounter something unusual if we went in for a couple of nights.

I thought to myself, even if something abnormal happens to us, if I don’t tell it and lie, won’t they be able to return the house?

Of course, since they have personally promised it, this is very beneficial to us.

I really don’t believe there is any feudal superstition in this world.

That night.

Bavo Jones brought several high-definition cameras to the store.

Since we want to prove that there is nothing wrong with the house, we naturally need evidence to support it.

The videos captured by these high-definition cameras are evidence. Not only are they high-definition, they can also record sounds.

"Thank you for your hard work, my Second-in-command."

Bavo Jones handed the camera to me and joked: "If it is haunted, just call me, preferably a female ghost. I will go and deal with her overnight."

My relationship with Bavo Jones is better than the relationship between Bavo Jones and his girlfriend, so we often joke.

And this guy didn’t treat me as his employee, otherwise the people in the store wouldn’t call me the Second-in-command.

"Okay, why bother? Just take two days off."

Carrying a pocket camera, I drove to the house.

The buyer and his wife moved out of that house half a month ago and have not lived back for half a month. They handed us the key before leaving today.

Half an hour later, I arrived at the gate of the community.

This community is an old community, with a large flat-floor layout built twenty years ago.

This was considered a relatively good house at the time. Although it was a staircase house, an elevator was installed in the past few years and the overall decoration was done. The community still looks relatively good.

I found a place to park the car and then entered the community.

The house was on the second floor of the third unit on the fifth floor. When I was walking downstairs of the third unit, I found an old madam staring at me.

This old madam was quite old and wore a cane. She seemed very curious about me.

"Young man, you are not from our community, are you?"

"Ah, yes, I'm not from here."

Out of professional habit, I like to chat with people, so I started chatting with the old madam: "There is a house here that I sold. The buyer said there was something wrong with the house. I came to stay for two nights to see if there are any problems. "

The old madam was stunned for a moment and asked me: "Which one?"

I raised my hand and pointed: "This is the building, five bars and two."

The old madam face changed obviously, she took a step back and looked at me: "Five bars and two... was it sold half a year ago?"

I nodded quickly: "Yes, you have been living in this community, right? Do you know that house?"

The old madam was also very talkative and said: "My old man and I moved in when this community was first built. I have lived here for twenty years."

It seems to be an old resident.

I asked again: "Do you know if anything happened in this community? For example, five bars and two bars..."

The old madam looked up, as if looking at the fifth floor, and then said: "This house has been sold twice, once by you, and once by you fifteen years ago. The first time No one has lived in that house since it was sold back.”

I was shocked when I heard this. This house has been sold once?

The seller never mentioned this to me before.

Of course, it is up to him to decide whether to mention it or not. After all, the house has been sold several times and it does not affect subsequent sales.

But, why has no one lived in this house since it was first sold?

If you can’t live in it after you buy it, why leave it alone?

"Old man, has this house never been rented out before?" I asked again.

The old madam shook her head: "It has never been rented out. It has always been empty. Young man, there is nothing good to live in in that house. Go back early."

After saying that, the old madam left and entered the elevator of Unit 4.

This kind of additional elevators are installed on the periphery of the building and are transparent elevators.

I kept looking downstairs and found that this old madam also lived on the fifth floor.

She entered unit four and I entered unit three.
