Chapter 1718: Life and Death
"You have other missions in the slums?"
Yang Feng was a little strange.
Chen Xiaojing was helpless and looked at Meng Pingshan opposite her with a pout.
Meng Pingshan coughed dryly and said, "The person we are looking for may be in the slum. We suspected that Shanhe's people were hiding nearby, otherwise they wouldn't have disappeared so quickly. But we didn't go there before mainly because we didn't have enough manpower and we were afraid of alerting the enemy..."
"Stop it for now."
Yang Feng understood what these people meant and said, "Unless I am attacked, I will not help you, so don't count on me."
He remembered Murong Wan's reminder just now.
If I act too rashly, I will inevitably give people a chance to criticize me.
No matter what, the agreement you agreed to cannot be taken lightly.
Yang Feng still has to keep his word.
Chen Xiaojing said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, we are just conducting a normal investigation and we probably won't let you appear."
"By the way, Yang Feng, why have you become so strange? You seemed quite enthusiastic before."
Ding Wei and others felt that Yang Feng had changed.
Yang Feng was speechless and said, "Come on, it's okay. Anyone would be enthusiastic if someone conscripted a man to work for them for free."
"Hehe, that's true."
These people didn't say much.
After having a meal here.
Several people returned to the hotel.
Although the boss here was replaced yesterday, it has undergone tremendous changes.
But for the people here, everything is business as usual.
But just like yesterday.
At night, there were some sporadic gunshots here again.
Yang Feng and Zhao Zhuwei, who were already used to it, didn't take it seriously.
One night passed.
the next day.
Yang Feng got up early.
He found a local grain and oil store and bought a truckload of grain and oil.
Afterwards, several people from the Investigation Bureau, together with Yang Feng and Zhao Zhuwei, headed towards the slums together.
Haven't come close yet.
Even from a not-so-far distance away, I could already smell the stench outside.
The people in the Investigation Bureau were actually used to it. Comparatively speaking, they had a lot of places to go, so they wouldn't be scared off by the smell.
However, they still felt a little sad when they thought about so many people living in a huge mountain of garbage.
Yang Feng took the grain and oil, parked the car outside, and walked inside.
He and Zhao Zhuwei found Coffey's previous residence with ease, while the others left first as they had their own tasks.
But what made Yang Feng feel strange was.
At this moment, the sound of crying was heard from this dilapidated house.
Everything around me seems to have changed a lot.
Yang Feng walked to the door and saw the child from last time.
"Kid, is Coffey home?"
Yang Feng stopped him.
When the child saw Yang Feng, he first showed a surprised expression and said, "You are the uncle who treated us to food last time!"
The child's innocent eyes were filled with excitement.
But then, he seemed to realize something, and said in a gradually depressed tone: "Brother Kofi...is dead..."
"what?!"
Yang Feng's expression also changed.
The day before yesterday, Coffey was clearly a young man in his prime and looked very healthy. How could he suddenly die?
"What caused his death?"
Yang Feng asked.
The child seemed very confused when he heard Yang Feng's question and shook his head, not knowing how to answer.
Yang Feng also realized that he was embarrassing him, and asked, "Can I go in and take a look?"
“Their families are there too.”
The child said.
Yang Feng walked in with Zhao Zhuwei.
In fact, Zhao Zhuwei never understood what the two were saying.
But when she walked in and saw the corpse in the shroud, she understood why the surroundings had become like this.
The old mother was alone in front of the corpse at this time.
The last time he came, Yang Feng knew that there were only two people in Coffey's home.
In fact, he should have had a large family, a father and a sister.
But when he was still a child, he died because of food.
But I didn't expect it to be like this...
"Kind sir, you...you really came to see Coffey again!"
When Coffey's mother saw Yang Feng, she quickly stood up respectfully.
Yang Feng waved his hand and asked her to sit down next to him. He then bowed to Kofi personally and looked at Kofi's body carefully.
He could see with his own eyes that Coffey was indeed dead.
As for the cause of death...
Yang Feng observed carefully for a while and finally sighed.
"Alas~ I should have shown it to him last time I came here."
Yang Feng couldn't help but blame himself.
He discovered that Coffey's death was caused by some bacteria in the food he ate.
At this time, his body had been eaten clean.
Perhaps he was just pretending before, perhaps trying to look healthy in order to attract customers.
If I had discovered it at that time, I wouldn't have...
"Coffey is my friend."
Yang Feng took out some money from his pocket and handed it to Kofi's mother, saying, "This is for Kofi. In our Chinese culture, a friend's mother is also your mother, so please accept it."
He handed the money to Coffey's mother.
Coffey's mother had never seen so much money.
She was a little excited, but soon refused, lowering her head and saying, "No, I can't accept this money."
"you……"
"Coffey mentioned you before he died. He also said you were his friend and you promised to come here, so he told us that if you give us money, we can't accept it."
Kofi's mother said, "This is my son's last wish. I...I can't go against it."
Even though Coffey's mother did want to take the money.
Because the money could improve her life, but she finally decided not to accept it.
Yang Feng sighed and said, "But now that Kofi is gone, how are you going to live alone?"
"He left me some money, enough for me to live on for a while. I will also work here..."
Coffey's mother's voice gradually faded.
In fact, Yang Feng also knew that she couldn't find any job here. If she had to, maybe she would just pick up some garbage in this garbage mountain.
Seeing this scene, Yang Feng couldn't help but feel a sudden pain in his heart.
He glanced around.
This house, which is leaky on all sides and built with only a few pieces of wood, might collapse if it encounters a disaster.
"I...can't help so many people..."
Yang Feng lowered his head and said, "But since we have met, I will be willing to help you."
He knew that he had no ability to change all this, but since he had encountered it, he would start from now on.
Coffey looked at Yang Feng with some confusion, not knowing what he meant.
Yang Feng did not explain, but after visiting here, he said goodbye to Kofi's mother.
But before leaving, Yang Feng threw all the money into Coffey's pocket at home.
His method would naturally not be discovered by Coffey's mother.
