Chapter 474 Cigarette Butt

"Can there really be such a heartless father in the world?" Bai Mengfei couldn't help but question directly.

Ye Feng slowly turned around, his back to the three of them, and said in a voice filled with vicissitudes yet firm and powerful: "Yes, and I am standing right in front of you now. I am that heartless father. Black and white have never been confused. If there is nothing else, please leave."

"Are you really unwilling to help us?" Bai Mengfei asked, still unwilling to give up.

Who would have thought that Ye Feng would suddenly turn around and start pushing the three of them, trying to drive them out.

Xiang Yuntian resolutely refused to leave, stubbornly staying in place, and said, "Mr. Ye, those are your own daughter and son-in-law. If you don't have any other illegitimate children, they are your only family, your only bloodline. The hatred of killing one's child is irreconcilable, you must understand this principle. I believe you must know some inside information, and I hope you can tell us."

"No, I don't know anything! You all need to leave now!" Ye Feng's attitude was firm and unwavering.

Seeing his determination, Bai Mengfei had no choice but to persuade Xiang Yuntian not to persist any longer.

After the three left, as soon as they got back to the car, Wang Tian couldn't help but complain, "What kind of father is this?"

“Yes, there are all kinds of people in the world,” Bai Mengfei said calmly.

Xiang Yuntian said, "I don't want to drive anymore. We won't leave until he agrees to cooperate. Anyway, I think he is the third party we are looking for. He must know a lot of things, and there must be a reason why he is unwilling to tell us, the police. I believe that as long as we find out the reason, we will be able to persuade him."

Hearing this, Bai Mengfei couldn't help but mutter to herself, "What could possibly be more serious than the hatred between my daughter and son-in-law?"

"Could it be because of some stolen goods?" Wang Tian suddenly thought, "I mean something related to profit. Or perhaps it's a treasure that this old man has guarded his whole life? In any case, I think this old man himself is no ordinary person. It really proves the saying, 'Like father, like daughter.'"

"How should we interpret that last sentence?" Bai Mengfei asked curiously, wanting to know the answer.

Wang Tian explained, "I checked his daughter's records and found that her history of theft didn't start after she met her husband. They were already notorious thieves before they even met. Moreover, she had a habit of stealing even when she was a minor. Think about it, what kind of family environment could make a little girl do such a thing?"

Xiang Yuntian couldn't help but utter four words: "Learning from others' example."

Wang Tian immediately snapped her fingers in agreement, saying, "That's right, she's just copying what she's been through. Actually, she did have a mother before, and her mother didn't die when she was born or when she was young, but after she dropped out of high school. She initially worked as a clerk at a company, and that company has records of that. The reason she left was because her mother passed away, and she suffered immense grief, making it impossible for her to continue working."

"In other words, her parents were both alive and well, and she was an only child, so she should have been living a happy life," Bai Mengfei said. "Indeed, given her family situation, the main reason she committed crimes as a minor is definitely related to her parents."

“Yes!” Wang Tian said with certainty, “So I think that this is most likely related to her father, Ye Feng.”

Just then, Ye Feng opened the door and came out carrying a bag of trash.

It looks like he's going to take out the trash.

Before taking out the trash, he subconsciously glanced at the car where the three of them were.

He only glanced at it briefly, then went to throw away the bag of trash and slowly walked back.

Bai Mengfei waited until he went inside for a while before opening the car door, getting out, and intending to check the bag of trash. Perhaps she could find some valuable clues inside.

Seeing Bai Mengfei open the car door, Xiang Yuntian quickly said, "Let me go instead, that garbage is too dirty."

After saying that, Xiang Yuntian got out of the car first and immediately started rummaging through the bag of trash. Inside, besides some leftover food, there was only a pile of cigarette butts. It seemed Ye Feng smoked quite often.

Bai Mengfei and Wang Tian also saw the cigarette butts.

Bai Mengfei couldn't help but say, "The old gentleman doesn't seem to take good care of his health."

“It’s normal for an elderly person to bury their child,” Xiang Yuntian said. He then continued rummaging through the trash and found a small, burnt fragment.

He couldn't help but pick up the shards and ask Bai Mengfei, "What do you think this could be?"

Bai Mengfei took the fragment and glanced at it, saying, "Judging from the texture, it might be a photograph. Perhaps it's a photograph of his daughter that he burned, since she's already passed away."

Just then, Xiang Yuntian made another discovery: there were actually two different brands of cigarettes in this pile of cigarette butts.

He quickly said to Bai Mengfei, "Look, there are two brands of cigarettes here. If he wasn't smoking both brands at the same time, it means that other people have been here."

Wang Tian frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "But it's too strange for one person to smoke two different brands of cigarettes at the same time, isn't it?"

“We can take the cigarette butt back for testing,” Bai Mengfei said. “If the DNA in the cigarette butt shows that it belongs to two different people, then it confirms that someone else did come here.”

So they quickly collected the cigarette butts and the piece of debris, then drove back to the police station.

Upon arrival at the forensic department, they immediately conducted an examination. The results showed that the cigarette butts belonged to three different people.

In other words, the large amount of cigarettes Ye Feng smoked wasn't due to his grief over losing his daughter, but rather because two other smokers had visited him—at least those two. Whether any non-smokers had also visited is currently uncertain.

After receiving the test results, Wang Tian couldn't help but say, "As far as I know, he has no relatives or friends left."

Bai Mengfei also picked up the test report and said, "These two types of cigarettes, one cheap and one expensive, have a huge price difference. Two people smoked both types of cigarettes at the same time, and one person's DNA was only found on the butt of the cheap cigarette. I think the latter person should be Ye Feng. From this information, we might as well speculate on the relationship between Ye Feng and these two visitors."

As Xiang Yuntian removed his gloves, he said, "I think we should try to see things from Ye Feng's perspective. Ye Feng's relationship with these two people isn't very good. But for some reason, he has to treat them with courtesy. In short, in his mind, these two people are more people he can't afford to offend than the three of us."
