Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 137 Old Dog (Fourth update, 10,000 words)
It was a dirty mongrel dog that looked very thin.

It was chained by a rusty iron chain and lay there motionless.

Lin Ge carefully observed his surroundings but couldn't smell any signs of life in the courtyard.

In other words, at least for the foreseeable future, no one has been to this courtyard.

So... who feeds this dog? What does it eat and drink?
Lin Ge was somewhat puzzled.

Upon closer inspection, it was clear that the creature was emaciated and on the verge of starvation. Even its fur looked mangy, with bald patches here and there. The areas with fur were covered in some kind of oily, asphalt-like substance.

Hunger and illness had left the dog in a very bad condition.

Seemingly hearing a noise, the stray dog ​​opened its sleepy eyes, glanced at Lin Ge, and then closed them weakly again.

It seems to be really dying.

Lin Ge couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

It's not that he's kind-hearted or anything, but Lin Ge knows one thing: starving to death is probably the cruelest and most desperate thing in the world. Whether for humans or animals, hunger is a torment that should never exist.

To be honest, if it weren't for the chains, where in this city could you not find food to feed a stray dog?

Even if the dog's owner really intends to abandon the dog, why don't you unleash it? Giving it freedom and letting it fend for itself is better than suffocating it.
unacceptable!

Lin Ge thought angrily.

Ling Ge slowly approached the mongrel, observing its movements while also examining the leather collar around its neck.

It was made of thick cowhide, and the clasp was rusted shut, so it wouldn't break easily. The other end of the chain attached to the security bars was also quite thick, something Lin Ge couldn't easily open. Lin Ge tried a little, but only managed to scratch a shallow mark on the cowhide ring.

Sometime later, the dog opened its eyes. It watched Lin Ge working quietly, its gaze utterly calm.

This look made Lin Ge a little nervous. Heaven knows why a dog could show such a pure look, as if it were a enlightened monk who had seen through the vanities of the world.

"Wait a minute, I'll go find someone to rescue you!"

Lingo decided to call for outside help.

"Woo..."

The dog responded weakly, raising its head to try and lick Lingo, but failed.

"Hold on a little longer."

Lingo patted the dog's paw in return.

However, he did not choose to use the communicator on the collar because Zhang Yong had been on duty all day yesterday and only went home this morning. He should not be disturbed by such personal matters.

Moreover, this place is not too far from Zhanghe Police Station, so it's still possible to get help there in time.

Seeing a dog hole under the large iron gate on the front side, Lin Ge didn't choose to climb over the wall. He looked out through the dog hole and saw that it was a main road, so he struggled to push aside the barrier and crawled out.

After identifying the location, he quickly ran towards the police station.

"Huh? Mimi?"

As Lin Ge brushed past someone, he suddenly heard the person greeting him.

I quickly braked and looked up, only to find that it was the young veterinarian I had met once before in Longquan Street!

It was the vet at the pet hospital that Zhang Yong took Zhao Liang to after he was injured in the Zhao Liang case. I can't remember his name.

"It really is you. I thought I was seeing things."

Huang Qi looked at the cat in front of him in surprise.

He never expected to encounter such a rare find in a place like this.

A police cat in a police station, and perhaps the only one of its kind in the whole country, a magical little monster that can fight armed criminals.

What is it doing here?
On a mission?

Huang Qi, clutching a heavy cardboard box, stared at Lin Ge, lost in thought.

"Fine! I don't care what you're called, anyway, now's the time to use you."

Lin Ge quickly turned around and gestured for Huang Qi to follow.

"What do you mean? You want me to go with you? No way, I'm very busy."

Huang Qi was somewhat reluctant.

The main issue was the heavy cardboard box he was carrying, filled with bottles and jars of medicine. He had specifically gone to the veterinary drug station downstairs from the Municipal Animal Husbandry Bureau to buy these; they were cheaper than elsewhere, and he could get a discount with his veterinary certificate.

It's just that it's a bit far; the animal husbandry bureau serves rural areas, and its address is almost on the outskirts of Zhangzhou City. To save money, Huang Qi even travels there and back on foot, and now his legs and arms are quite tired.

But just as Huang Qi was about to leave, Lin Ge blocked his way again.

He tried to avoid it, while Ringo sharpened his knife.

Astragalus has surrendered.

"Alright! My lord, what is it? Is there something you, as an officer, need my help, a commoner?"

Huang Qi let out a long sigh.

Only then did Lin Ge realize Huang Qi's attitude. He led him to the iron gate, then crawled inside and peeked out.

"Ancestors, I can't squeeze through!"

Huang Qi gritted his teeth. He kicked the iron gate, only to find it locked. Helpless, Huang Qi put the cardboard box down. Afraid someone would steal it if he left it by the door, he gestured for Lin Ge to get out of the way and stuffed the box through the dog hole.

After that, Huang Qi stretched his hands and prepared to climb over the iron gate.

"Who are you? What are you going to do?"

A faint voice suddenly came from behind.

Huang Qi was startled and jumped down quickly, not even bothering to climb halfway down.

Looking back, she saw an elderly man in a security guard uniform. The old man was quite old, but his expression was very good, and his eyes, like those of a hawk, were scrutinizing Huang Qi from head to toe.

"I'm asking you, what are you going to do? Steal something?"

The old man pressed for more information, his expression serious.

"I...how would I know what I'm supposed to do inside?"

Huang Qi was on the verge of tears.

He could only lower his head and explain dejectedly, "That damn cat sent me here, the one from Zhanghe Police Station, you've heard of it, right? The really famous one..."

"Mimi?"

The old man interrupted Huang Qi.

"Oh? You know him?"

Huang Qi was taken aback.

"Ouch!"

Lin Ge, dissatisfied, crawled out of the dog hole again. What was that useless doctor doing? He hadn't come in for ages.

"It really is boobs."

The old man recognized Lin Ge.

"Huh? The old gatekeeper?"

Lin Ge was also taken aback, not expecting to run into an acquaintance while out for a stroll. But what were these two doing outside? Didn't they know that saving a life was paramount?

"Since it's Mimi's business, let's go inside quickly."

The old man asked no more questions and waved his hand to let Huang Qi go.

"They really discriminate; people are treated worse than cats."

Huang Qi muttered to himself as he tried to climb over the iron gate again, but couldn't manage it for a long time. An old man gave him a push from below, and he finally made it to the top, then carefully slid down from the other side.

Then he saw the dog under the eaves of the opposite house.

Huang Qi's expression changed instantly.

Gone was his earlier sluggishness and helplessness. Huang Qi, with a grim expression, rushed to the dog and, disregarding whether the dog would hurt him, reached out and flipped the dog's eyelids with his bare hands.

Lin Ge watched in fear, thankfully the dog didn't resist. It seemed to know this man was saving him, remaining motionless and not seeing Huang Qi as a threat.

"Has it been starving for days? Damn it, where's its owner?"

After giving the dog a quick check-up, Huang Qi hurriedly ran to the iron gate and dragged over his precious cardboard box. He took out a bottle of glucose water, bit open the seal, pried open the dog's mouth, and forced it into its mouth.

After finishing one glass bottle, Huang Qi rummaged through the box and found a bagged item. Lacking any tools, he tried to tear it open with his mouth, but in his nervousness, he couldn't manage it no matter how hard he tried.

Lin Ge couldn't stand it, so he stretched out a fingernail and slashed hard, easily tearing a long gash in the plastic bag.

The sharpness of the blade startled even Astragalus membranaceus.

He quickly took a pill from the bag and stuffed it into the dog's mouth, then pulled a scalpel from the box and began laboriously cutting open the leather collar.

Lin Ge glanced at the plastic bag on the ground and noticed the words "Yunnan Baiyao" printed on it.

This thing can be used by animals?

"Anything humans can eat, animals can basically eat too. Even chocolate and milk. They can even save a pet's life in an emergency. As for the side effects and dangers, who has time to worry about that right now?"

While working, Huang Qi didn't forget to educate Ling Ge.

The dog's life should be saved, and Huang Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

He simply can't bear to see animals injured, especially in such an immoral and cruel way.

Huang Qi cut open the place where the leather and chain were rusted together, and he was able to remove the collar that was holding the dog.

He patted the dog's head and a satisfied look appeared on his face.

After drinking water and taking medicine, the dog's condition improved significantly. It even had the energy to whimper at Huang Qi and then try to get up to lick Lingo's face again.

"what!"

Lin Ge dodged away in disgust.

Suddenly, he and the dog twitched their ears together and turned to look at the iron gate.

The iron gate creaked open slowly, and the old man who had been outside leisurely locked it before coming in.

"So... this dog wasn't taken away! Idiot, it didn't even bark twice, and a cat actually saved it."
