| After the middle aged woman came to the house with the fraudulent man, the woman started to live alone there. He and she knew that the woman would stay there for a week, that was the pattern that the son used. They waited until the old couple left their house in the daytime, though the couple were the watchers of the house. He and she went to the house and introduced themselves to the woman. At first, the woman doubted them, and thought that they were the frauds. But after they explained about the fraudulent method of deception, the woman understood that the real-estate guy was the fraud. The woman said sorry to her because she had lost money, and thanked them for letting her know of this crime in advance. The woman promised to cooperate to solve this case. One week later, the woman's temporary visit in the house expired. The son came and asked her whether she would expand her staying or not; it meant purchasing the contract. The woman said that she liked the house and his offering price was very reasonable, but there was one thing for her that she wanted to check in advance. He asked her what that was. She said that her present house's neighbor was a mean person so she wanted to know about the neighbors. He smiled (actually grinned) and said that he knew an old couple across from this house, so he would introduce her to them over lunch. He made a phone call to the old couple, then he also called a pizza house. Thirty minutes later the old couple came, saying thanks for invitation for lunch. While eating, the couple said how much that they loved this town (though they only lived here for a week). After lunch, the middle aged woman agreed with the contract. Three of them, the couple and their son, congratulated her on her wise decision. While the woman was signing, the police rushed into the house. (He signaled to the police when he heard through the door of the woman's announcement of contract.) When the police entered the house, the son and his parents looked at each other. To the surprise of the policemen, none of them resisted. They were arrested. When leaving, the son and his parents looked at her and him at the door, they were shocked. They said
They silently walked on. She started by saying, "By the way, thank you for helping me. If you weren't with me, I couldn't have done anything." He smiled, "I have to thank my new hearing-aid. This is amazing." She said, "But at first, I thought when you were standing in front of me, you were definitely a stalker." "I beg your pardon?" he asked.@She mischievously said, "I doubt that you couldn't hear me." (The End) |
