Marvel’s Princess Chapter 75: Buy a house

Samantha officially said goodbye to the town where she had lived for many years, and moved to Los Angeles with Natasha.

The Los Angeles Police Department welcomes Samantha's arrival. After all, she is a beauty and has connections with superiors, so they will not embarrass her no matter what.

Being able to maintain law and order in Prosperity Town as a woman, Samantha also had enough social skills. Considering her new life in the future and her need to take care of her two daughters, she decided to focus on After the family came up, I finally chose a civilian position.

She and Natasha first rented a house and gradually became familiar with their new life in Los Angeles.

On the other side, Charlie's new life and new goals rekindled his ambition. He volunteered to join the homicide team, which has a heavier workload, and be responsible for handling front-line cases.

Bella has nothing to say about this. Charlie just wants to be a policeman and fight criminals. Can she still stop him from going?

A new police chief will be hired in Fox Town. Charlie will hand over the work of Fox Town. He will also complete a series of proposals, get married, say goodbye to old friends, buy a new house in Los Angeles, etc. Work.

Buy a house first or get married first? In the East, you must buy a house first, but in the West... you actually have to buy a house in the West too! If you don’t have a house, the ghost will live with you!

Young people will consider renting a house. Both Charlie and Samantha are relatively old-school people. They think it is more secure for the family to live in their own house. Besides, they are not without money.

Working in Los Angeles, it is natural to buy a house in Los Angeles. The lapd on the police badge is not fake. The two of them are backed by the police station and can come into contact with people from all walks of life. After making a few calls, the real estate agent Come and sell your house to them.

There are definitely some people who deceive the police these days, but if there is no particularly big conflict of interests, most people will not come to deceive the police when they have enough food and nothing to do.

Charlie and Samantha were indeed new here, but with the help of their colleagues, they were able to screen out several alternative targets.

Bella has nothing to do here, just waiting for the university to start. Natasha is dealing with transfer matters. Occasionally she will disappear for a period of time, but Bella has a tacit understanding and pretends not to see it, and even helps fight. Got a few covers.

On weekends, their family of four drove out to look at houses.

The first choice was a villa in Santa Monica. The former owner of the villa was an old acquaintance of Bella's. It was Adrian, a doctor of optics who was defeated by her and later shot dead by his wife.

This villa has a very technological architectural style and was built in less than five years. After Adrian, a doctor of optics, died, his brother put the house on the market for 3.9 million!

Although Natasha liked the style of the house very much, the family of four still shouted "can't afford it, can't afford it". Even if they could buy the house, future property taxes would drag down their family. With their income, they simply cannot afford to live in such a house.

The family walked half a circle around Los Angeles, had lunch at a fast food restaurant at noon, and continued watching in the afternoon.

Near Hancock Park in Los Angeles, they followed the real estate agent here to look at the fourth house today.

"Wow! Such a big house?" The car just stopped. Natasha, who was the first to get out of the car, looked at the mansion that was more than ten meters high and covered an area of ​​more than 800 square meters. She couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement.

Bella also took off her sunglasses and rubbed her face to wake herself up. She looked at the mansion carefully. It felt like...

The real estate agent is a middle-aged woman named Marcy. After she saw a family of four getting out of the car, she immediately introduced them nonstop.

"This house was built in 1922 by Charles Montgomery, a famous surgeon in Los Angeles at the time, for his wife Nora. You may think the house is a bit old, but it is not. You can come in and take a look."

The real estate agent pointed to the interior decoration: "Look, they are all Tiffany lamps. The interior layout and decoration are in the style of the Victorian era. If you ask me, this place is really tasteful and stylish. It's great to live here. , is definitely a quality choice for the two police detectives.”

"Police detective?" A slightly confused voice sounded not far away. This was a middle-aged man with a serious face and deep eyes.

The real estate agent's attitude towards him was not so enthusiastic, but he still introduced both parties: "Dr. Harmon, this is Detective Charlie Swan who came to see the house, and these are his fiancee and two daughters. . Detective, this is Dr. Harmon who wants to sell the house. The house he bought half a year ago is now...for some personal reasons...for sale." /

It could be seen that the doctor named Harmon was quite hesitant about selling the house to the police detectives. Qiang Zi shook hands with Charlie with a smile, and then led them on a tour of several rooms in the house. Take a look.

There are many furnishings in the room, just like being in some ancient European castle.

Gorgeous lamps, exquisite oil paintings, and gorgeous carpets all add to the beauty of the entire house.

"Is this painting authentic?" Natasha asked Bella, pointing to a painting in which a graceful woman was holding a human head.

Natasha is good at modern scientific knowledge and the use of various high-tech items, but she is really not very accomplished in literature, history, and art, and these are Bella's strengths.

She raised her eyes and looked at it: "It's a famous painting by the French symbolist painter Gustave Moreau, a Thracian girl holding the head of Orpheus."

Seeing the eyes of the real estate agent and Dr. Harmon brighten up, she added: "It should be a fake. I remember the original is kept in the Musée Nationale Moreau in Paris."

The eyes of several people seemed a bit dim, and the fakes were worthless!

"Doctor, can I ask why this house is so cheap?" Charlie couldn't help but ask.

The price of a house of the same quality two streets away is 2 million, but the house in front of you was sold for 400,000 six months ago, which is only one-fifth of the average transaction price of this type of house. In fact, It was ridiculously low. Now that Dr. Harmon is selling it again, he has cut the original selling price by one-third, and now it can be sold for only 260,000.

To be honest, with such a low price, even ordinary people would be suspicious, let alone two police detectives. It is really extremely low.

Dr. Harmon's wife is a very American housewife, but when several people called her Mrs. Harmon, there was obvious resistance in her expression.

The distance between this couple is also a bit far. Even Bella, who has been following behind the large army and observing the layout of the house like soy sauce, can see that there is a huge rift between them.

"Detective, I have to say that we were deceived by this **** real estate agent before!" Mrs. Harmon said angrily.

Her husband tried to stop her with his eyes, but when Samantha looked over, he quickly turned his head.

"There is something weird in this house, something is wrong. Our previous owner died in the house, and there may be...maybe...maybe there are still deceased people going forward. ."
