Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 12 The Cat Girl Returns Home

Zhao Liang's gaze sent a chill down Lin Ge's spine. At this moment, he finally realized how dangerous it was for a cat to live in the human world.

Leaving aside the occasional rumors about cat abuse I've heard in the past, let's just talk about how desperate it is for a cat to suddenly face this situation, to be helpless against a malicious and eager creature.

This time, the crossbow bolt was lucky and didn't fire, but what about next time?

Fortunately, things didn't develop as Lin Ge had feared. With more and more people hearing the commotion, Zhao Liang finally didn't dare to stay any longer. He turned back and cursed at Hu Zi as he got into the car, then turned and drove away quickly.

The place, which was just a moment ago extremely lively, has finally quieted down.

The tortoiseshell cat and Ringo exchanged a glance, then stopped in place to recover their strength and quell their restlessness.

"Meow?"

The aggrieved little tabby cat looked up at Lingo and then at the tortoiseshell cat, before finally lowering its head and approaching its mother, letting out an apologetic meow.

The tortoiseshell cat, however, was too preoccupied to care about its mischievous kitten. It lay on its side on the ground, licking its hind legs incessantly, and its tail was thumping the ground forcefully from time to time. Clearly, it was extremely agitated and its physical condition was worse than expected.

The little tabby cat could only anxiously circle around the tortoiseshell cat, meowing incessantly.

Lin Ge watched this scene from a short distance, feeling somewhat troubled. It was clear the mother cat was badly injured, but he himself was just a cat; how could he possibly treat her?

Thinking about it, it seems that the only thing I can do is ask those guys at the police station for help.

After discovering that the surrounding residents were more indifferent than expected, and that neither came over to join the commotion nor called the police, Lingo went to the tortoiseshell cat, turned around, and gestured for the creature to come with him.

The tortoiseshell cat glanced at Lingo, then lowered its head and continued licking its fur without moving.

"..."

Lin Ge was speechless; this guy was a bit difficult to deal with. Cats aren't like humans, and communicating with them is actually quite challenging. He wasn't used to meowing to tell other cats what to do, nor did he know how to get other cats to obey.

"Meow!"

The little tabby suddenly came over. It seemed to understand what Lin Ge meant. It wagged its tail and followed behind Lin Ge, took two steps forward, and then turned back to call to its mother.

The poor old mother stopped licking her fur and struggled to get up.

It glanced at Lingo, then lowered its head and followed behind the little tiger stripe.

Lin Ge didn't care whether this would cause any lasting effects on the tortoiseshell cat. He used the little tabby cat as bait, like fishing, to lure the tortoiseshell cat out of the neighborhood and onto the busy main road.

After all, it's highly unlikely that a tortoiseshell cat could climb trees or walls.

Amid the curious stares of passersby and the well-meaning calls of some, Lin Ge walked forward, occasionally turning back to look at them.

The tabby cat behind him behaved reasonably well; it didn't run away despite seeing so many strangers, but instead stayed even closer to Lin Ge, almost biting his tail. The tortoiseshell cat, on the other hand, was quite worldly; it didn't meow the entire way, only staring at Lin Ge and the tabby cat with a strange look, its gait slightly awkward.

In this strange atmosphere, Lin Ge spent a lot of time and effort and finally succeeded in bringing the two cats to the entrance of Zhanghe Police Station.

"Huh? Mimi?"

Just then, Jiang Yiyi, who was about to leave, saw Lin Ge and stopped to greet him. Then, noticing the two cats following behind Lin Ge, she immediately showed a curious expression.

"Yiyi, it's time to go, that old lady is rushing us."

The male colleague next to her wasn't interested in the cat, and after putting on his helmet, he gestured for Jiang Yiyi to get in the car quickly.

"Wait a minute! This is the first time I've seen another cat. I never knew Mimi actually had a wife and kids!"

Jiang Yiyi's gossip instincts grew stronger. She casually gestured to her colleague to wait a moment, then squatted down and waved to Lin Ge, saying, "Mimi, are you planning to bring your wife and kids to settle down at the institute?"

"..."

Lin Ge glared at Jiang Yiyi speechlessly. What kind of look was that woman giving him?
To his surprise, perhaps because it understood Jiang Yiyi's words, the tortoiseshell cat, which had been lazily strolling along the way, actually began to curiously examine the police station compound.

It ignored the little tabby's frolicking, looked around for a moment, and then limped down to lie down beside the flower bed. "..."

Lin Ge was speechless again.

"Wait a moment!"

Zhu Jun, a male colleague, noticed something was wrong. He lifted his helmet visor, got out of the car, and slowly walked to a spot not far from the tortoiseshell cat: "This cat... has blood on its paws! It looks like it's injured, but there are no bloodstains or wounds on its body..."

"A fight?"

Jiang Yiyi was curious, but when she looked down, she exclaimed, "Mimi's feet are stained with blood too! What happened, a fight between husband and wife?"

Lin Ge wanted nothing more than to slap this stupid woman across the face.

Fortunately, Zhu Jun was more reliable. He took off his helmet and hung it on the car. Seeing that neither of the two cats intended to run away, he slowly approached the tortoiseshell cat and carefully rubbed his finger on the tortoiseshell cat's paw to transfer the blood onto his glove.

Zhu Jun lowered his head to sniff, and his expression became serious: "No! This smell doesn't smell like cat blood, but more like human blood! Did these two cats hurt someone? Just in case, let's investigate. Yiyi, call Director Nie."

Upon hearing that it might be a case of assault, Jiang Yiyi became more cautious.

Whether it's a cat injuring someone or something else, it's something that the police can't ignore. From their very first day as police officers, they were told by their seniors that they must never overlook any seemingly insignificant detail.

Besides, everyone has already accepted that Mimi is the police station's cat, and Jiang Yiyi even spent money to buy him a litter box, cat toys, and other cat items. Now that the station's cat has done something wrong, the station should be responsible for the apology and compensation that are due.

Soon after receiving the call, Nie Guoqiang rushed out from inside.

Upon seeing Lin Ge, and glancing again at the tortoiseshell cat by the flower bed, he listened to Zhu Jun's description while moving closer to Lin Ge, grabbing Lin Ge's paw, and carefully examining the bloodstains on his nails and the split pinky.

Lingo ignored his split nails and lazily let the guy do whatever he wanted with them.

Nie Guoqiang arrived just in time, saving him the trouble of searching again. In fact, the reason he chose to rush back to the police station was precisely because he wanted to tell Nie Guoqiang about this.

After a moment, Nie Guoqiang made a judgment. He glanced back at the tortoiseshell cat, whose leg seemed to be injured, and said in a deep voice, "Both paws are covered in blood. It looks like it wasn't just scratched once or twice! Zhu Jun, you're in charge of receiving the report from Yi Yi. Yi Yi, take this cat to the vet. And then... Mimi, take me to where the incident happened? The station hasn't received any reports of cats injuring people, and besides, unless it's having a medical episode, cats don't usually get involved with strangers repeatedly. Heh... I hope it's not what I'm thinking, otherwise those two guys are too reckless. Ordinary criminals are trying to avoid the police, and these two dare to mess with us?"

Lin Ge looked up in surprise. Just by looking at the bloody fingernails, Nie Guoqiang could analyze so much? However, he was wrong about one thing: the two drug dealers were not the ones who committed the crime.

Under Zhu Jun's speechless gaze, Nie Guoqiang separated him from Jiang Yiyi. Seeing Jiang Yiyi eagerly and enthusiastically pick up the tortoiseshell cat, which offered no resistance, he had no choice but to helplessly mount his motorcycle and head off to confront the woman who had called the police.

"Hey, this cat's pretty heavy!"

Jiang Yiyi happily hugged the tortoiseshell cat, stroking its fur as she enjoyed the moment.

Lin Ge glanced at the tortoiseshell cat.

Isn't this guy supposed to have a bad temper? Why is he letting strangers hold him now? Or is this damn cat really acting like Jiang Yiyi said, mistaking him for someone from the police station?
"Chief, I'll be going now!"

Jiang Yiyi petted the cat and left with a smile.

Along the way, the little tabby that was wandering around and playing saw its mother being taken away and quickly followed, but was pinned to the ground by Lin Ge with a paw. It could only mutter under its breath and watch helplessly as its mother left.

"What the hell are you yelling for!"

Lin Ge was very unhappy. It seemed that the mother hawksbill turtle's injury would not heal in a day or two. Wouldn't that mean that Lin Ge would have to take responsibility for the three cubs it left behind?

troublesome!

However, no matter what, the tortoiseshell cat had saved Lin Ge's life. He simply couldn't refuse the task of taking care of the kitten.

"Mimi is gone! I've already asked the people at the station to keep an eye on the little one."

Nie Guoqiang rode over on a scooter, followed by Officer Li Rong from the archives. Like Jiang Yiyi, she was a cat fanatic, but unfortunately, she was too busy with work to keep a cat at home. Seeing the little tabby cat was like seeing a treasure to her.
