Chapter 171 Simple and Direct
While thinking about countermeasures, Locke continued: "There is a rumor within the LAPD that Erwin Marcus was discovered by the police because of ghost guidance. At that time, a policeman found a man and a woman crawling naked in the yard, but they were rescued in the end. At that time, only two women were found. So this house is not only a haunted house, but also a haunted house. This should be the reason why the price of the house is lower than that of the same type..."
Michael Chen's eyes shrank, he didn't grasp this information, and he suddenly realized.
No wonder Erwin Marcus’ lawyer didn’t even enter the house during the handover.
He always thought that there were corpses buried in the taboo yard of the other party, but it turned out that the place was also haunted.
This kid can even ask such secret thoughts, his identity is definitely not simple!
Li Bo pointed at Michael Chen and scolded angrily: "You are so crazy. You are selling such a house to me..."
"Dad, I want to chat with him for a few words..."
In the astonished eyes of Marianne and Li Bo, Locke walked up to Michael Chen and said, "Mr. Chen, come here and have a chat..."
Marianne and Li Bo looked at each other. They were having a great time acting, and they didn't understand why Locke suddenly stopped acting.
Locke walked straight to the turf where the body was buried. Michael Chen was frightened by Locke's look before and looked at Li Bo for help. Seeing that Li Bo didn't speak, he could only follow him step by step.
Locke stepped on the turf on the ground with his feet and asked, "When you took over this house, was the turf restored?"
Michael Chen looked at Locke in astonishment, realizing that the Locke in front of him was completely different from the rebellious and stupid young man before, "Well, when I came over to look at the house, it had been renovated, but I have been in the real estate business for 8 years. The agent, who is very knowledgeable about decoration and landscaping, still found something unusual..."
Locke nodded and said: "Yes, there are five corpses buried here..."
Michael Chen stared at Locke suspiciously and asked, "Can I know what happened?"
Locke naturally knew what he was asking. He shrugged and glanced at Marian and Li Bo. "Marian enjoys bargaining. I can only cooperate with her. But, obviously, we are not yours." Target customer. So, I don’t want her to waste her time. You should understand what I say, right?"
Michael Chen twitched the corner of his mouth and said hesitantly: "I understand!"
It means stop pretending. Thinking about how I was deceived by this family of three before, I couldn't help but feel a little angry.
Locke asked, "So, who is your target customer?"
Michael Chen hesitated and replied frankly: "Chinese customers, businessmen or corrupt officials who want to transfer assets..."
Locke suddenly realized, it turns out that this is the case. Indeed, the purpose of these customers is to make money. They will not come to live here once a year. How would they know if anyone has died in this house.
He raised his eyebrows, "But Ervin Marcus shouldn't be able to wait so long. He is not only facing criminal prosecution, but also civil compensation. He also needs money to pay high lawyer fees..."
Michael Chen now has no doubts about Locke's identity. He is definitely a person from a special department. The other party knows the case of Ervin Marcus very well, and the information is much more detailed than what he found. .
Then the purpose of coming here to buy a house now, isn't this...
Locke could see Michael Chen's mood swings at a glance. Compared with the experienced Hei Braised Dan, the man in front of him could see his thoughts clearly through L2 micro-expression analysis and L1 psychological profiling.
He said solemnly: "Don't make random guesses. I'm just an ordinary buyer who comes to buy a house. Don't make things complicated..."
The more Locke denied it, the more Michael Chen became convinced of his guess.
No wonder the lawyer of the homeowner, Ervin Marcus, offered such a low price and demanded that it be handled as soon as possible. It turned out that the deal had already been made.
If this villa is operated by him and he has enough time, if he can't defraud it, uh, can't sell it for 600 million US dollars, he doesn't deserve to be called Super Michael.
He knows very well how easy it is to deceive the money of wealthy people in China.
It’s not that Michael Chen has never thought about buying it himself and then operating it, but the lawsuit against the homeowner, Erwin Marcus, is too complicated. The risk factor of this house is a bit high, and he is afraid that it will fall into his own hands.
He breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the real buyer has arrived, let's hand it over as soon as possible so that he can get out of this project.
"The reserve price is US$360 million, and the seller requires the full payment to be received within a week..."
Locke nodded calmly and said: "Okay, I'll let Marianne sign a contract with you..."
Michael Chen stared at Locke's back and cursed in his heart. He also said that it was not a good deal and that he was an ordinary buyer.
Just believe me when I say the base price is 360 million. Obviously, I already knew the base price from Ervin Marcus.
But he didn't know that Locke had already judged from his expression that what he was talking about was the lowest price, so he naturally stopped talking to him.
……
Half an hour later, at the door of the F-10-09 villa, Michael Chen watched the G55 leave. The apologetic smile on his face disappeared instantly, and he immediately returned to the Mercedes-Benz e300.
He took out his mobile phone, dialed a number, and said in a flattering tone: "Lawyer Javier, I have good news to inform you that the villa in the Cortina community you entrusted has been sold at the reserve price. Uh, no, there is no hidden danger. The other party knows the situation of the house better than me. The contract will be officially signed tomorrow and the house payment will be received within a week..."
After hanging up the phone, Michael Chen was a little shocked. Lawyer Javier's reaction was very strange. He didn't even ask the seller a word, and he was also a little dissatisfied with the low-price transaction.
Damn it, maybe he guessed wrong.
Michael Chen slumped in his seat. His commission was reduced by 50 yuan, and his commission was tens of thousands less. This was even more uncomfortable than killing him.
His expression turned cold, and he immediately thought of an idea to recover the loss, but then he thought of Locke's cold eyes and instantly withered.
Forget it, just make more money, why take the risk!
Disadvantage is a blessing!
……
In the Mercedes-Benz G55, Marianne looked at the deposit agreement in her hand and laughed: "I didn't expect you to get the lowest price so easily..."
Li Bo frowned and said: "Our family is not short of hundreds of thousands. Your words are suspected of intimidation. If he calls the police, it will affect your reputation. Don't forget that you have to go to court the day after tomorrow?"
Locke comforted him: "Don't worry, that real estate agent is a tough-tempered type at first glance. He's a bit clever. He still doesn't know my identity clearly and doesn't dare to cause trouble..."
Marianne also smiled relaxedly and said: "It's okay. It's useless to rely on his one-sided testimony. Locke only stated the facts and made up his own conjectures. This is what you often say about being smart but being mistaken..."
Li Bo said dissatisfiedly: "Just pamper him and make us look like bad guys taking advantage of others!"
Marianne reached out and grabbed his hand, interlocked her fingers, nestled her head on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "My dear, don't you think it's fun to be a villain once in a while? By the way, your acting was really good just now, I think You can win an Oscar, hahaha..."
Locke accidentally glanced at the rearview mirror and took a mouthful of dog food.
