Tokyo: The evil god doesn't want to be the top star

"The price of the whole house is about 20 million yen, which is % lower than the average level of the surrounding area..."

After introducing the basic information in the documents, the three of them entered the house simultaneously.

As Saejima said, the house was fully decorated, but it was not equipped with soft furnishings, furniture or appliances, so it looked a bit empty.

There is no such thing as "bare-shell houses" in District 11, so this house, which is only equipped with hard furnishings, is already considered very "bare-shell".

"President Saejima, according to your information, this house is not an 'accident object', right?"

Xia Fan confirmed in a low voice.

"There is indeed no record of any related accidents in the real estate developer's files."

"Because I encountered a 'laundered' house last time, I specially selected this new house that was built just three years ago and has an incredible price-performance ratio to recommend to you."

Saejima carefully looked at the information in his hand and explained honestly.

"..."

Xia Fan and Jinguji Aoi looked at each other silently.

"By the way, let's go upstairs and take a look. According to the floor plan, there is a large cloakroom connected to the master bedroom, and there is also a luxurious bathroom..."

"Well, wait a moment."

Just as Tetsuo Saejima was about to go to the second floor, he was stopped by Xia Fan.

Chapter 239 There Are Two More

2024-07-13

"Mr. Xia, what's wrong?"

Saejima discovered that Xia Fan, who looked tall, thin and fair-skinned, had strength in his hands that was just as great as his own.

"Um, President Saejima, could you please wait outside for a moment..."

"The two of us want to see this house alone."

Xia Fan requested politely.

"alone……"

As a real estate agent, this was the first time Saejima had encountered such a request and he was stunned for a moment.

"of course."

Being stared at by Xia Fan's bright eyes, he nodded subconsciously...

"I...I understand..."

Walking to the door in a daze, Saejima suddenly showed an ambiguous smile.

"You two want to simulate some private scenes of newlywed life to confirm whether the house is suitable, right?"

"That's great. I'm going to go to the door to smoke a cigarette. You guys can enjoy it..."

He strode out of the entrance at a quick pace, and even closed the door for the two of them, thinking he was considerate.

"Since no one has ever lived in this house, if it's a new one..."

"In other words, it's not the house's fault."

When Xia Fan and Jinguji Aoi were the only ones left in the room, the air suddenly turned cold.

Because, as soon as they entered the house, they noticed that behind the stair railing on the second floor of this empty house, there were two women standing quietly with their heads down...

Their limbs were broken, their skin was swollen, and their hollow, unfocused eyes were filled with fear...

Obviously, it was a groundbound spirit that was born from some cruel murder during its lifetime.

"The preliminary results of Lesson 9 are out..."

"Ten years ago, a serial killer killed two women in an old house that has been demolished on this land. The murderer is already serving his sentence in prison, and the bodies of the victims have been returned to their relatives for burial..."

“But no one knows that their spirits are bound here by their tragic experiences.”

Aoi Jinguji looked at the case information sent by Section 9 on her mobile phone, her eyes full of sympathy.

"Let me relieve your pain..."

Holding a piece of talisman in each hand, Jinguji Aoi walked up the stairs with a solemn expression.

"The light of Amaterasu is the home of all living things."

"May your soul rest in eternal peace and quiet."

The talisman paper spontaneously combusts without wind.

Flames without any temperature but extremely dazzling ignited on the two earthbound spirits, gradually engulfing their figures.

"rest in peace."

At the bottom of the stairs, Xia Fan clasped his hands together, as if he was attending a funeral, waiting for everything to be over.

"..."

In the firelight, one of the women vaguely raised her hand and pointed somewhere...

"Ok?"

Just as Xia Fan noticed this detail, the other party had already been completely annihilated in the flames.

"That's enough. This piece of land has been purified..."

"Mr. Xia Fan?"

Jinguji Aoi's face relaxed slightly, and when she turned around, she found that Xia Fan had walked up the stairs without her knowing...

"Jinguji, remember the case information you just mentioned, there were two victims, right?"

After passing her, Xia Fan stood straight at the door of the large master bedroom and asked in a low voice.

"Yes, the file records that there are indeed two victims..."

Jinguji checked his phone again and confirmed.

"Then why are there two more victims here?"

"What……"

Xia Fan stepped aside to make way, and Jinguji Aoi could see clearly that in the corner of the bedroom, there were two other female spirits squatting with their legs crossed...

Judging from the scars on their bodies and their broken limbs, they had obviously died in the same way as the two women who had just been purified.

"Could it be that, in addition to that case, the murderer has committed similar cases here..."

"After I pray for the souls of these two, I will immediately contact the Metropolitan Police Department to interrogate the murderer!"

Thinking that this case that had been closed for many years might have more hidden stories behind it, Aoi Jinguji bit her lower lip with silver teeth, and her little hands trembled slightly.

……

"I never thought that the 'Indestructible Iron Man' who once dominated Kabukicho and had a 100% collection rate for property fees would now become a real estate agent."

"I never thought that Inspector Higurashi, who has been promoted so many times, would actually work as a house-hunting driver. Miss Jinguji must be someone extraordinary..."

In the alley in front of the house, Inspector Higurashi and Tetsuo Saejima were leaning against the wall side by side, smoking.

"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask, and you'll live longer."

"That's what 'Brother Tienan' said to me when I was teaching him on my first day as a patrol officer. Who would have thought that the little patrol officer would end up sending you to jail himself..."

"When we met before, you were a little too calm, unlike your hot temper back then. I almost couldn't recognize you."

Higurashi glanced at the quiet "single-family house" next to him and said in a low voice.

"Hey, anyone who spends a few years in a boring place like prison will become calmer."

"Moreover, in the second month after you sent me in, the boss I followed at the time and a brother in the society were all killed by the enemy... In a way, you are my savior."

"After I got out, I didn't want to touch the business anymore, so I took over my late father's real estate agency and just lived a carefree life..."

Saejima smoked the cigarette in his hand, threw it on the ground, and crushed it with his toes.

He and Higurashi used to hang out in the chaotic area of ​​Kabukicho when they were young.

In that era when black and white were not distinguished, the police often dealt with the underworld...

In short, the final result of this relationship was that Saejima was handcuffed by Higurashi himself.

"So, if I introduce haunted houses, will the commission be higher than the general business?"

After taking a look at the message on his phone, Higurashi asked with a gloomy expression.

"Haunted house? Did you hear what Xia Jun told you about last time?"

"That's a misunderstanding. After all, my intermediary information channels are quite wide, and Xia Jun's budget is very limited, so it's inevitable that he will encounter laundered goods..."

"We are paid commission based on sales, regardless of the type of property. If you sell a 'washed' property with an accident, the agent will also be held responsible, and post-sale processing is very troublesome!"

Feeling a little guilty about what happened last time, Tetsuo Saejima explained haltingly.

"Hey, the young couple is out, let's continue looking at houses."

"Don't worry, I've retired from the business world, so I won't have any bad ideas. I've carefully selected the properties I'm going to see this time, and they're all top-notch properties!"

Noticing Xia Fan and Jinguji Aoi walking out of the house, he gave Higurashi a thumbs up and walked over to them.

"Um, President Saejima, we've already seen this house, let's go see the next one..."

Facing Saejima who was approaching him enthusiastically, Xia Fan forced a smile stiffly.

"Okay, okay. Comparing prices from different stores will help you make a decision faster. Let's get going."

Saejima didn't suspect anything, got into the mini truck, and took the three of them to the next "premium project".

Chapter 240 Happy Community

2024-07-13

"Although this house is a bit old, it is next to Sugamo Shopping Street and can be said to be right in front of Ikebukuro. Although there are elderly communities around it, the living functions are complete and the transportation is impeccable..."

"It should be noted that the nearby 'famous tourist attraction' Somei Onsen is filled with wrinkled old men once you enter, so it's best not to patronize it."

The second property recommended by Saejima is a nearly fifty-year-old house located in Sugamo, a famous senior community next to Ikebukuro.

"There is no foul air, and no spirits have been sensed, but there are many abnormal signs. The information team has been arranged to investigate."

"It's confirmed. The previous owner of this house died alone here. When he was found three months later, his body had already started to stink and fester and had soaked into the floor and walls. It was impossible to separate them. Those suspicious marks are most likely..."

"Don't, don't say it."

Although there were no "supernatural elements", seeing the large suspicious stains on the walls and floors, Xia Fan and Jinguji Aoi, who did not retreat even in the face of the earthbound spirits, fled for their lives and left the house.

"This next project will definitely satisfy you two!"

"The house is located in the core area of ​​Nishi-Waseda. Although the price is close to 60 million yen, it is adjacent to the park in the west and Waseda University in the east. The subway station is a five-minute walk away. The environment is excellent and the academic atmosphere is strong, which is very beneficial for the future growth and education of children..."

The third property is a house located near Nishi-Waseda subway station.

"Everything is normal inside the house, but there are traces of a lot of spiritual activity on the path behind the house... We are asking the information team to analyze it..."

"The Toyama Park, which is 500 meters away from the house, is the former site of the National Institute of Infectious Diseases. It is said that it was used for live experiments during the war. A large number of human bones were also dug up in the mountain. It is estimated that this is the source of the 'supernatural traces'. It has been registered, and the ninth lesson will investigate and deal with it as soon as possible..."

Although there were no "supernatural phenomena" inside the house, Xia Fan shook his head like a rattle when he thought that the famous haunted place in Tokyo was not far away...

It doesn't matter to me, but the parents I have to live with are just ordinary people. They are old and have low tempers and can't stand being scared.

……

Two hours later, at KKC fried chicken restaurant in Ikebukuro shopping street.

"I actually looked at five properties in one morning. It's really efficient..."

Xia Fan placed three large buckets of fried chicken on the table and said self-deprecatingly.

"In a sense, it was indeed a very rewarding experience... ah!"

Aoi Jinguji couldn't wait to take out a piece of golden and crispy chicken wing, slurped the meat and removed the bone, then started chewing with enjoyment with squinting eyes.

"Damn it, I didn't like any of the projects I carefully selected... There must be something better here..."

At the next table, President Saejima was absentmindedly chewing on his burger while frantically flipping through a stack of real estate documents with an unyielding look.
