Chapter 115: Social Observation
On the afternoon of January 5, a port in Yokohama.
The sky was blue, and the strong ultraviolet rays were a little dazzling, which may be the reason why there was a thin layer of sea fog suspended on the surface of the sea this season.
A flock of eagles hovered low in the harbor against a somewhat strong sea breeze, their eyes staring closely at the sightseers on the shore below.
Always be ready to snatch food from their hands.
You Yi sat on the shore and casually threw the wet pebbles into the Pacific Ocean in front of him, causing ripples.
At the same time, he was always on the lookout for the eagles in the sky, because he had just been taken away from the bread for lunch by one of the eagles.
It is worth mentioning that it is not uncommon for tourists on the beach to be robbed of food by eagles in neon.
On Yu Yi's side, Saionji Temple, who was sitting straight on a small reef, was eating bread in small bites, and his long hair, which was blown by the sea breeze, sometimes fluttered on Yu Yi's face.
The smell is fragrant and itchy.
"Do you want to eat?" Suddenly, Saionji handed over the bread that he had only eaten a little bit.
"I don't have much appetite."
The corners of You Yi's mouth brought a little wry smile, although he was robbed of the bread by the eagle, but to be honest, he didn't have much resentment in his heart, because even if he didn't snatch it, he couldn't eat it.
Xiyuan Temple nodded silently, took his hand back, and continued to bow his head and nibble on it.
It can be seen that she doesn't have much appetite either.
"Why don't you split half of me?" You Yi, who saw something, said, and then Xiyuan Temple broke off two-thirds of the bread and handed it over.
However, Yu Yi was not moved at all.
Even if the inventory in the stomach was vomited clean before, I couldn't be moved at all, because I might have to vomit again in the afternoon!
Just because today is the social observation of the phenomenon of lonely death and the social practice of the work of collecting corpses!
In the morning, the two had already followed Mr. Takeda's team to the scene to collect the body of an old man who died alone, and it can only be said that the scene was enough to leave a psychological shadow for the two of them for a lifetime!
The foul-smelling room, less than three stacks, was full of all kinds of household garbage, because the old man had been dead for more than two months, and even in winter, the body was badly decomposed and crawling with maggots.
Body fluids have long since penetrated into the tatami mats, mixing with the household garbage, emitting an unbearable stench.
Even though they were wearing gas masks, You Yi and Xiyuan Temple still couldn't hold back, and they didn't stay for five seconds before running out of the door and taking off their masks and throwing up.
That picture can no longer be described as a meal.
The disposal of the body, Mr. Takeda is not so inappropriate to let Yuichi and Saionji help, and the job for the two is to clean up the room with everyone after the body is processed.
The work of the body collector is not difficult to be honest, before entering, pray at the door of the deceased, and then go in to collect the body and clean the whole room.
The cleaning work is time-consuming, because the neon garbage is very strict and needs to be carefully sorted, and the cleaning work alone lasts 4 hours.
For You Yi and Xiyuan Temple, the consumption of four hours is not only physical strength, but also spiritual impact.
When cleaning up the garbage, the two found that the old man was a smoker before his death, because cigarette butts accounted for more than half of the large bags of garbage.
Then there are the relics that the family asked to be cleared away, and through those relics, the old man's preferences and personality before his death were spread out little by little in front of You Yi and Xiyuan Temple.
He has many hobbies, including collecting crafts, photography, bows and arrows, watching movies, and making model airplanes, but these hobbies are all hobbies that can be done alone.
The final cleaning work made the two of them know the old man from scratch little by little.
In the end, the old man with the surname of Forty Things was no longer a rotten substance in the hearts of the two, but a person who had lived well in this world.
That's probably what this job is all about, You Yi thought.
According to Mr. Takeda, there are less than 200 special cleaning companies in Neon today, and his company alone receives an average of one cleaning order from a lonely old man every day.
If you calculate it, there are at least 20,000 elderly people who die alone every year, and this number is still increasing every year because of the increasingly serious aging population.
Death alone means that you are not accompanied by your family, and you basically do not have any social interaction, and you die alone at home without anyone noticing.
Such deaths are often discovered by neighbors, because the stench emanating from the room has reached the point of being unbearable.
Of course, although the work is really eating, the salary is quite high, and the minimum cleaning cost is 100,000 yuan depending on the situation of the room.
The price of this morning's order is as high as 200,000!
Although nominally a social observer, Takeda was very generous in giving Yuichi and Saionji 20,000 yen each.
The rest is divided equally among the three members of the Takeda team.
"You Yi, I just received a special order, fresh, are you still coming?"
"Are you sure?"
You Yi looked suspiciously at the man in his thirties who was holding a mobile phone with a smile in his eyes.
"Now that the body is still hot, there is no need to clean the room, which is very convenient."
"Is there still such a good job in this industry?" Yu Yi didn't quite believe it.
"Of course, although this kind of work is rare."
The suspicious Yuichi and Saionji set off with Takeda's team.
About half an hour later, the group arrived at a train stop in Yokohama.
Looking at the tram stop in front of him, You Yi reacted almost instantly, and just wanted to shout at Xiyuan Temple not to go in, but he couldn't stop it.
Saionji has already followed Mr. Takeda's team in first!
The body was still hot, and there really wasn't a room to be cleaned, but none of them were intact!
This single job turned out to be to clean up the body of someone who had just committed suicide by jumping off the rails at this tram stop!
It's really sparse, and you can't put it together!
Squatting in front of the trash can on the platform, You spit out the kindness of Xiyuan Temple at noon, the two-thirds of the bread.
After spitting up, looking at the bread in the trash can, one couldn't help but vomit stomach acid for another five minutes.
This order, although it doesn't have that rancid smell, is more exciting than the previous one in a sense!
After handing over to the police, Takeda looked at You Yi, who was pale, and smiled: "It's much better than when I did it the first time, do you want to come to our company to work, the salary is very high." ”
"Don't die!"
"Really don't think about it?"
"Absolutely not considered! Even if I were given an annual salary of 10 million yuan, I would not consider this kind of job! ”
"What if it's 20 million?"
You Yi sneered: "Don't think that money can buy anything!" ”
