Chapter 264 The Poor Bronx
"That's why some people always say that detectives have a vague sense of morality." Shirley sighed, "I think detectives and lawyers can easily become good friends...there are a lot of things in common that we can talk about together."

"...There are still many differences, but they are all easy to be regarded as villains." He Nan frowned: "I think the biggest problem is that...lawyers must abide by the law as a prerequisite to develop their skills. Even if he takes advantage of legal loopholes, he can only do so under the premise of abiding by the law. The whole job is trying to play with the law in the palm of his hand. And detectives...if they don't assist the police, they often have to break the law to solve Z cases."

"So once the police become reliable, the detective industry will be in a downturn." Shirley looked at He Nan with a smile: "Maybe there won't be a single private commission for a month then?"

"That can't be helped... In fact, as long as the law and order can be improved, the industry will decline." He Nan kept a slight distance from the client's car in front of him, and said helplessly: "The current situation is too deformed, and it is not good at all. Normal... Ordinary people expect the police to solve a case for you wholeheartedly? Unless you are lucky enough to meet someone like Yuri Watanabe, it is basically wishful thinking."

"Yeah." Shirley's tone became more relaxed: "...But, even if New York returns to what it was before, there will still be a lot of private work for detectives. At least you don't have to worry about losing your job."

"... That's true." He Nan said with a wry smile, "I'm afraid detectives have never been less active since the birth of this city... We are characters bound to chaos."

Chatting like this, they gradually drove towards the suburbs.

Along with the scenery on the edge of the urban area, you can see patches of ruins and slums.

Returning to this place where he had been here two days ago and where a car chase and shootout started, the feelings in He Nan's heart are hard to describe in words.

"It's like being abandoned by New York around here." He Nan retracted his gaze and complained in a low voice.

"You can't say that." Shirley shook her head helplessly: "It is precisely because it is in New York City that it can be said that this place has not been abandoned by New York... It is full of filth."

There are also refugees that the government has not arranged properly.

…mostly New York natives.

"I feel very pitiful for these people." Looking at them, He Nan felt very uncomfortable: "The integration of the world directly destroyed their residences, and also ruined their lives."

"Didn't Osborne promise to solve this problem after he came to power?" Shirley reminded: "He said he would rebuild slums and house homeless people."

"If he can really do it, that's great." He Nan admitted: "The great thing about Limin... It's been a year, and someone should clean up this mess. I'm afraid he's just talking Ah ... No one cares about the fooled votes. Politicians are often like this. I heard that every guy who campaign may be promised to deal with this problem, but when I came to power, I may turn my face. Jin said that it will be done soon, and then it will be delayed day after day until a new successor takes over."

"That's right. That's not what the previous mayor did." Shirley looked out the window and was silent for a moment: "Being used as a tool over and over again. Even if you are always deceived, you still have hope... But the betrayal that people can endure is also There is a critical value. If they are deceived again, they may riot."

"If it really reaches that level, maybe the appeal will be realized." He Nan frowned and said, "But it may just be suppressed by the police."

The police certainly don't want to care about these problems.

For conflict to occur, there could be casualties.

And it will further affect the image of the New York police.

Many people here are full of anger about life.

But more people's eyes have become numb.

The Bronx is New York's most damaged part of the world's fusion.

Moreover, the public security and economy of this district were not very good, and this made it even worse.

We can see welfare agencies distributing food along the way.

In each bag of food, you can vaguely see grilled chicken, milk, bread, pasta and sandwiches, etc.

There are even snacks such as potato chips, chocolate, and cheese sticks.

This is undoubtedly full of temptation for people who worry about eating and drinking every day-the government has cut welfare expenditures a few years ago, and now the poor can get less food stamps than before, and it is more complicated to get them Many people are not even eligible to be approved.

Therefore, people nearby rushed to try to snatch the food, and the staff tried their best to maintain order and let them line up to receive according to the rules, one bag per person.

However, someone fired a shot into the air, yelled at everyone to get the hell out of there, and managed to snatch several of the bags himself.

Seeing that he successfully grabbed more food, someone immediately took out their guns to follow suit.For a while, the scene fell into chaos again.

There were even staff members who were pushed to the ground and trampled in pain.

"...Damn it." He Nan couldn't help cursing in a low voice.

"Hey..." Seeing this scene, Shirley couldn't help but shake her head: "In the face of the pressure of survival, human nature can easily become vulnerable."

"But it's too chilling to do so." He Nan said angrily: "Everyone has a share in the kindness of people who distribute food. If everyone breaks the rules and robs, isn't it still the law of the jungle? How can we help the weak? If you follow the rules, you will eat less, but if you don’t follow the rules, you can eat a lot, and the original good people will be forced to participate in the robbery.”

"That's right... If the first person to grab the food didn't take the lead, the others might have lined up obediently." Shirley said in a low voice, "So it's better to have some guards with guns...Who If you dare to grab food, you will be killed, so that everyone will be honest. If you don’t let yourself have enough fierce fangs, then you can’t even do good things.”

"... That's right. You just want to promote kindness but you can't protect yourself. Even if you are easily trampled by the wicked, you will not be able to achieve your goals." He Nan glanced at the food distribution point that was overwhelmed by the crowd in the distance. Feeling sad.

...an idealist's hell.

Those who do charity with a goofy grin must realize that people who are poor enough may cease to be human.Because human beings and beasts are only different in personality, once they cast aside their moral burdens, they will use all despicable means to compete for survival resources, and guns are far more deadly than the fangs and claws of hungry beasts.

It would be too naive to think that you can influence them with love.
