Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 14 The Cat's Revenge
After taking the three kids to the police station, Lin Ge abandoned them.

In any case, they had already become very comfortable in the station in just half a day, and were favored by all the female police officers in the station, so Lin Ge didn't need to worry about them at all.

What Lin Ge wanted to do now was to repay that bastard Zhao Liang for the humiliation he had suffered, bit by bit! When had he ever been wronged like this? When had someone ever pointed such a terrifying thing at him? He had to make Zhao Liang know that the Cat King also had three eyes, and make everyone who dared to provoke him pay the price.

Lin Ge remained steadfast in his conviction.

He had originally planned to live a carefree life, but he was finally forced to pull himself together. He stopped being apathetic and stopped living like an ordinary cat.

In the following days, Lin Ge frequently left early and returned late, and he was almost never seen at the police station.

With his keen sense of smell, agile movements, daring and adventurous actions, and human-like reasoning abilities, Lin Ge quickly rediscovered the traces of Zhao Liang's presence.

He even followed the lingering scent all the way to the black sedan that Zhao Liang had driven last time, several miles away, taking advantage of the quiet of the night.

However, Zhao Liang was more cautious and cunning than expected; the car he drove that day actually belonged to a taxi company. Lin Ge, who couldn't speak, found it difficult to glean more information from the taxi company. Even after he angrily ignored the risk of exposure and sent a text message to Nie Guoqiang, asking him to come over during a busy time, he still found no other clues.

Seeing Lin Ge lying dejectedly in the passenger seat, Nie Guoqiang said as he drove, "Don't worry, Mimi. The more meticulous that person is, the more serious things might be. A cat-catching thing requires renting a car and even using fake credentials? Humph! Maybe we'll find another big fish this time!"

"What do I care if the fish is big or small? I don't care about sales targets."

Lin Ge glanced at Nie Guoqiang, then turned to stare out the window, not in the mood to pay him any attention.

"Alright, leave this to me! That guy went to such lengths to deal with a cat, his purpose is definitely not as simple as we think. I've seen cat fighting before, but to do it so meticulously... it might already be involved in underground gambling. Those people use cat fighting as a cover for gambling, and if they cross the line even slightly, it's a case that should be treated as a serious crime and arrested."

After stubbing out his cigarette, Nie Guoqiang calmly analyzed the situation, then couldn't help but ask in bewilderment, "What's going on lately? We rarely see any strange or shady characters in Zhang City, so why are there suddenly so many?"

Lingo flicked his tail; it had nothing to do with him anyway.

To reiterate, Lin Ge doesn't get a single share of the police station's achievements.

Back at the police station, before Lin Ge could even catch his breath, the three little ones scrambled over to him.

The little tiger cub slid down to Lin Ge's feet, grabbed Lin Ge's leg, and rolled around in circles.

The snow-clawed tabby, which had been burying its head in its food bowl and munching away just moments before, was now frantically wagging its tail at Lin Ge while crunching away.

Only the little hawksbill turtle was a little more reserved. It slowly walked over, meowed twice at Lin Ge, and then sat down to lick its tail. It would lick its tail twice, look up at Lin Ge, lick it twice more, and look up again, showing great affection.

Lin Ge couldn't understand it. Did he have some kind of cat-loving constitution? He hadn't interacted much with the three little guys, so how did he so easily gain their affection and even attachment?

"That's wonderful, a family of four."

Aunt Luo, who was in charge of sanitation at the police station, looked on with a sigh. Both of her children had married and moved far away, and were usually idle at home like idiots, which was why she chose to come to the police station to do some easy but low-paying work.

"..."

Lin Ge no longer wanted to explain.

Not in the mood to take care of the three little ones, Lin Ge stayed where he was for a short while before following Nie Guoqiang to the office.

He knew there was no such thing as a free lunch, and Nie Guoqiang's enthusiastic help must mean he had something for him to do.

"Come and look over here."

Nie Guoqiang didn't treat Lin Ge like an ordinary cat. Pointing to the computer screen, he said, "Based on an anonymous tip, plus our investigations over the past few days and our estimation of the suspects' movements, we've basically determined the area of ​​operation for those two drug dealers. As the tip-off stated, they've secretly set up a base on a small island, successfully evading the police's surveillance system. The Zhanghe Reservoir was very difficult to excavate, forcing the preservation of many islands of varying sizes. Among them, eight are inhabited, and there are more than a dozen small, isolated islands. Some of these islands are only exposed during the dry season and are usually ignored and unnoticed." Lin Ge squatted on the desk, staring intently at the screen.

Although curious whether the cat could actually see the contents of the LCD screen, Nie Guoqiang continued, "Furthermore, a few years ago, a tourism company was established at Zhanghe Reservoir, creating the Zhanghe Scenic Area, which was successfully rated as a 4A-level scenic spot. Not to mention the increasing number of tourists, the various tourist boats purchased for sightseeing have already become a burden on the police. At the same time, Zhanghe was originally a fishing area, and many fishing boats remain; in addition, nearby residents have joined the tourism industry, purchasing private boats to attract individual tourists, making them even more difficult to monitor and investigate. Under these circumstances, with only the police force of the local police station, it would probably take forever to find those two guys."

Lin Ge flicked his tail, already understanding Nie Guoqiang's meaning.

What's needed at this time is a smart police dog! Unfortunately, the Zhanghe Police Station doesn't have any police dogs, so they have to rely on this police cat to catch the drug dealers.

Nie Guoqiang kept glancing at Lin Ge out of the corner of his eye, and seeing that his attitude hadn't changed, he couldn't help but nod to himself.

He took out a cigarette, lit it, and continued, "There's another problem. We haven't found any trace of those two people in our jurisdiction, which is very illogical. The most likely explanation is that they have other accomplices who buy everyday items discreetly. If we can find this person, we can also follow the trail and catch this group of drug dealers. So this matter still depends on your efforts, Mimi. We'll work on two fronts: sending people to investigate those unusual purchases while searching for clues at shipping ports..."

At this point, Nie Guoqiang glanced at Lin Ge again.

He knew his request was outrageous; for a dog or a cat, it was absolutely impossible to distinguish and find a scent that wasn't specifically marked.

This is because it tests not only the sense of smell, but also a far greater analytical and logical thinking ability than that of animals themselves.

Even well-trained police dogs need to prepare items related to the suspect in advance to find a specific suspect, and they also need to be prepared for the possibility of a failed search if the search area is uncertain.

Police dogs capable of perfectly identifying and accurately locating targets through their sense of smell are one in a million.

Nie Guoqiang had only ever seen one dog with this ability in his entire life, and it was that dog that earned him a first-class police merit medal.

Now that Lin Ge has been discovered by chance, Nie Guoqiang feels that even God is helping him! Because this special cat has at least the same potential as the dog from back then!

With this cat, even if his skills are not as good as before after his injury, it might give him a second spring in his future police career.

Lin Ge looked up at Nie Guoqiang. The guy's gaze was rather strange, making him a little nervous.

Lin Ge didn't know if Nie Guoqiang had really figured out his identity completely, or if he just saw him as a cat with some special abilities. Aren't cats and dogs supposed to have the intelligence of a six or seven-year-old child? So it's understandable if they go a little out of line, right? Anyway, as long as Nie Guoqiang didn't expose him to his face or make any requests that a cat couldn't make, he would just pretend nothing had happened.

This is also a tacit understanding between two people that doesn't need to be spoken.

"If you can act quickly and arrest the drug dealers before they spread the drugs, I will give you credit for your work."

Nie Guoqiang extended his hand to Lin Ge: "At that time, the entire police force of the station will be able to help you find that cat-catching bastard. How about it, you should be very satisfied with this deal, right?"

"It's a deal?"

Lin Ge tentatively placed his right paw in Nie Guoqiang's palm.

"Then let's put it this way!"

Nie Guoqiang laughed.

He stood up, stretched, and closed the file on his computer: "There's no time like the present, let's do it tomorrow! Tomorrow I'll send someone to take you to the docks, see if we can run into a stray rat. Although I don't know how much contact those two drug dealers' accomplices have with them, they'll at least pick up some of their scent. I'll be counting on you then, be a good girl!"

"You're such a jerk!"

Without hesitation, Lin Ge stretched out his claws and scratched Nie Guoqiang's arm.
