Maggsi mumbled weakly.
Anger flashed across Green's dark face.
"This guy is truly revolting, making people dig their own graves before killing them.."
After repeated questioning,
Brian and Green finally learned the truth behind this old, cold case.
..
The reason was simple: it was all for a house.
Maggsi's life wasn't going well.
Though being a realtor could be profitable, the industry was highly competitive, and he wasn't the boss—just an employee. Hence, he rented his home and rarely saved any money.
As he grew older,
he began to dream of buying his own place.
Houses in ordinary communities in Los Angeles weren't that expensive, with some priced as low as seventy or eighty thousand dollars.
The problem was Maggsi had no cash.
He had done the math—if he took out a mortgage to buy a house, most of his income would afterward go toward mortgage payments, home insurance, property taxes, and maintenance fees, leaving him with very little for his day-to-day expenses.
