Aoba Office

On October 11, 2006, I contacted Guo Tianhua, an agent from Haofangyuan Real Estate Brokerage Company. Audio file 03820061011.wav.

"Hello, we are the reporters who contacted you on the phone before."

"Oh, please sit down, please sit down. You want to ask us about a client, right? We cannot disclose this matter originally. We have a confidentiality agreement, and their information..."

"We don't want to ask for Mr. Zhang Dongliang's personal information. We just want to know who he is renting to and whether there are any special circumstances."

"This is also something we need to keep secret..."

"But we got some clues from previous interviews. Mr. Zhang's tenants are concentrated in the group of young women, and the turnover of tenants is very high. A resident reported to us that one of his tenants There has been any unusual behavior. Did your company review the landlord’s situation when selecting a property?”

"Of course we will review this. We will review the landlord's identity information, his property information, etc..."

"Is that all there is? This landlord rents to young women in particular. He is a middle-aged and elderly man. Have you not had any doubts?"

"It's not that they all rent to young women. His most recent tenant was a man, and he rented to a family before..."

"How old is the wife in that family?"

"Huh? This..."

"So, did you realize something was wrong only after our request for an interview?"

"No, no... Oh, this matter... To be honest, I have not doubted it. I have also contacted those who have canceled the lease. The contract we signed is a three-party contract, but it is not all a three-party contract. Some people have been introduced by us After meeting with the landlord, they ignored us and negotiated directly with the landlord. The landlord would also bypass us and cancel the original contract. This would require them to pay some liquidated damages, but it would be much cheaper than signing a three-party contract with us. . We are also very helpless. We could have supervised and helped protect rights, but now..."

"You mean, none of Mr. Zhang's previous tenants signed a three-party contract? You don't know the personal information of those female tenants?"

"Yeah, so this situation..."

"But we have investigated through some channels, and your company has this information. Since Mr. Zhang first signed a contract with you in 2001, he has signed a total of five tenants through you. Among these five tenants, There were several young women.”

"Ah, yes, yes... there are two of them... I have contacted them. When the contract was terminated, they both negotiated, but when signing the contract, they had to go through us. Mr. Zhang came and said that he originally rented After the customer left, I contacted Miss Luo."

"Is it Miss Luo Jia?"

"Yes, it's her. I contacted her and called her. She said that the sound insulation of the house was not good and the quality was not good. She was worried about living there, so she decided to change the house."

“Is there something wrong with the quality of the house?”

"No, this should not exist. This house was built about 20 years ago, almost 30 years ago. The house is aging, but there is absolutely no quality problem. The entire community is in good condition. The most problems are the corridor lights and Water pipes, everything else is fine.”

"What quality issue did Miss Luo respond to?"

"It's just soundproofing. She goes to work early and goes to bed early at night, but the soundproofing of the room is not good, so she is a little uncomfortable living there. She says she can hear the sounds from the neighbors, upstairs and downstairs, and is a little upset. But..."

"But what?"

"Well, I personally guess that this, this may be an excuse."

"Then what do you think is the real reason?"

"Oh, that's what you suspected... I heard from Ms. Zhu who rented a house at the back. She took the initiative to report the problem to us. She wanted to use us to complete the subsequent rental agreement, including the rent and so on. Let's hand it over and change the door locks, I thought... um..."

"Has she reported to you that landlord Zhang has a problem?"

"Well... I reflected it, and then she said it, and she moved out not long after. I also asked, Mr. Zhang didn't do anything substantial, nothing like that... He just called frequently. I often have nothing to say. Maybe it’s just that kind of thing... Hey, the situation would be different if it were a younger and good-looking landlord, right? But we can’t discriminate in this matter..."

"Our investigation found that Zhang Dongliang terminated his contract with your company for a period of time in 2003."

"yes."

"What did he do with the house during that time?"

"How to deal with it... I don't know... He said he lives alone and relatives are coming from his hometown. That should be it... It's been a while, and I don't remember it very clearly."

"During that period, before and after, did Zhang Dongliang have any special performance?"

"You...did you find something? What did you find?"

"What's your answer? Did you notice any special behavior of Zhang Dongliang before and after that?"

"I... this... you suddenly asked this... this all happened in 2003, three years ago... I..."

"Mr. Guo, please think carefully."

"I suddenly asked this, and I also... what did he do? Did he do something to the girl who rented the house? Don't scare me. Our agency is a serious business, no, really not... We don’t know at all. We can’t monitor what their landlords and tenants do. We just check the qualifications beforehand, and if there are any problems later, we can help mediate the situation of the rentals here. There are no disputes. , no one said anything about calling the police or going to court..."

"Mr. Guo, please don't be nervous. We know that you may not know about Zhang Dongliang's affairs..."

"I really don't know!"

"Okay. You really don't know. We hope you can provide some clues. Please carefully recall that in 2003, it should be around the summer of 2003, when Zhang Dongliang and you were talking about terminating the contract and signing the contract. Is there any difference?"

"No! No indeed! Nothing strange at all-"

"What did you think of?"

"I...I remembered that at that time, when you said it, there was no one, but later, one of them rented a house, and one named Ai. When that Miss Ai rented a house, Zhang Dongliang...Zhang Dongliang was very strange... He came to ask me if he could cancel the lease and not rent it to Miss Ai. Later, I don’t know how they negotiated, and Miss Ai moved out. "

"Did Miss Ai say anything?"

"No, she has not contacted us."
