Of the last three villas, Li Du took down another one. The other two were taken down by Logan and another buyer. The house-pickers did not have a good day.
They blamed it on Li Du. They felt that Li Du had messed up their plans. He had led the treasure hunters to bid indiscriminately, causing them to have no gains.
Under such circumstances, they naturally took advantage of the fact that Li Du had spent two million to buy a haunted house to vent their anger. They could not stop making sarcastic remarks.
Li Du nodded at Lu Guan. Lu Guan understood what he meant and went out to find out more about the house.
The real estate agent, Snyder, was already waiting at the side. He had taken over Li Du's three villas and was about to handle the paperwork for him. He said, "Boss, you can go back first. I will settle it for you as soon as possible."
Li Du stopped him and said, "There's no hurry. Do you know anything about this cottage on the hill of Bel Air Platte?"
Snyder had been in the real estate business in Los Angeles for many years. His information network was not something a newcomer like Li Du could compare to.
As expected, Snyder did know something about the villa.
Looking at the exterior photo of the house that Li Du had taken out, Snyder's pupils shrank. "You bought this house? How much? "
"What's going on with this house?" Li Du asked persistently.
Snyder spread his hands and said, "This house is quite famous in Bel Air. It's called the haunted house. It's a haunted house. It's very, very scary.
"The house has a history of about 50 years. For the first 40 years, everything went smoothly. However, about five years ago, the owner was a lonely old man. His wife and child died in an accident.
"The old man's life was originally very depressed. One day, he suddenly became happy. The neighbors asked him what was going on. He said that his wife and child had returned and they were living together again.
"From then on, the old man frequently went to buy daily necessities. It was as if his family was using them and not just him. At that time, people thought it was an illusion. He was a lonely old man who had lost his family. You know, this kind of situation does happen, right? "
Li Du nodded and gestured for him to continue.
"About half a month later, someone heard gunshots in the house. The gunshots were heard the moment the sun rose in the morning. Then, someone called the police. The police entered the house and found that the old man had shot himself."
Snyder pointed at his chin. "The hunting rifle was placed here. If the bullet entered through here, the entire head would have been smashed."
"The incident was classified as a suicide because there were many strange things in the old man's bedroom: pictures of his deceased wife and children, things that he used when he was alive, and so on. The police believe that the old man suffered from mental illness and committed suicide in his hallucinations.
Li Du said, "You came to a conclusion just because of these things? Isn't it a little sloppy? "
Snyder said, "Listen to me, boss. It's not that simple. According to the insider information I received, the police also found some items related to witchcraft. There was a small coffin soaked in blood, the ashes of a certain animal, the dried corpses of a black cat and a crow, and so on. He even found an evil book that recorded the witchcraft of resurrecting the dead …"
"This happened the year before last. Then, the house was sold at a low price. A couple bought the house and moved in with their four children."
"It wasn't long before their four children began to claim that they would see people wandering around the house at night. One of the children described how the person he saw looked like. It was the old man who committed suicide! "
"These children had never seen the old man before. Neither did the couple. Logically speaking, it was impossible for the children to know how he looked like unless they really saw something."
"Things took a turn for the worse. The worst thing was, on the first anniversary of their moving into the house, the couple suddenly woke up one night and realized that the children were not in bed. They finally found the children wandering on the roof …"
At this point, Snyder gulped. "Boss, what I'm going to say next is not an exaggeration at all. It's all the truth."
Li Du said, "I won't doubt you. Go on."
Snyder said, "According to the couple, the four children were wandering around on the roof with their eyes closed. It was as though they were sleepwalking, but they had strange smiles on their faces."
"Then, after they appeared, the children seemed to be led by invisible people. They held their hands and jumped off the roof with them!"
"They just watched them jump?" Li Du asked in surprise. "The couple, were they scared silly?"
Snyder shook his head. "No, of course not. They were very clear-headed. However, they felt as though they were being controlled by something. They appeared on the roof, conscious but unable to move. It was as though they were in a nightmare! "
"Luckily, after the two children jumped, the sky suddenly thundered. The sound of thunder woke the husband up. He frantically rushed forward and hugged the remaining two children. That saved their lives. "
Li Du hesitated for a moment and asked, "The two children who jumped in earlier, died?"
Snyder said solemnly, "Yes, the two poor children died."
"After that, the police questioned the two children but did not get any information. The two children who survived seemed to have lost their memories. They did not remember anything that happened that night. The doctor found that their brains were damaged, just like many drug addicts. However, they did not find any similar chemicals in their bodies. "
"The couple could not take it anymore and decided to sell the house and move away. From then on, the reputation of the haunted house spread, causing the value of the house to plummet. "
"In the end, a rancher from Montana bought the house at a low price. He did not usually stay here and only used it as a winter vacation. In his hands, everything seemed to become normal. However, in the first half of this year, an accident still happened. The rancher also died! "
"Three consecutive owners, three consecutive accidental deaths. This made the house's reputation as a haunted house grow. When the rancher died in the first half of the year, this matter caused a huge commotion in the local area. Many people requested for the house to be demolished. Perhaps you were not there at that time, so you did not know about this matter."
Li Du said, "How did the house end up here?"
Snyder said, "The house was bought with a loan from the rancher. After he passed away, the house was passed on to his children. However, the children did not have enough money to pay the inheritance tax, so they gave up some of their inheritance, including this haunted house."
Listening to the introduction, Li Du frowned. This house was really f * cking strange. No wonder the starting bid was so low during the auction. He did not think much about it at that time. He did not expect this to be the reason.
According to this, the villa would really be in his hands. However, Li Du did not believe in ghosts, nor did he believe that there was any haunted house in this world. He was more convinced that there was someone behind this matter. Hence, he decided to move in and see for himself what was going on!
