Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 171: Tuntun Rat

"Holy crap! This is a lynx, how did it get dead here? Xiao Zhang, find a stick and move it away, it's such a nuisance and disgusting."

Suddenly, such a sound came from ahead.

Lin Ge froze for a moment, then his temper flared up instantly. Damn it! If it weren't for this female lynx, you'd never have found the remains or any clues in your entire lives! And to desecrate its carcass like that, you're utterly despicable!
"Ouch!"

With a furious roar, Lin Ge squinted and charged forward.

When he got to the ancient tomb, he saw a young policeman looking miserable as he tried to pry open the carcass of a female lynx with a stick. Lin Ge rushed up and slashed him with his claws without saying a word.

"what!"

The young policeman cried out in pain and dropped his baton. He looked down at his wrist, which was bleeding rapidly, and gasped in pain.

"What...what's going on?"

"Ouch!"

Lingo, hunched over and growling, stood in front of the mother lynx's corpse, blocking all the police officers.

Everyone was stunned, exchanging glances, unsure of what had happened.

However, looking at Lingo and then at their injured colleagues, they felt a surge of anger, thinking that the cat was acting like a lunatic.

Lin Ge was also in a bad mood and found fault with everyone.

Sun Chang, who was standing nearby, realized what was happening and quickly pulled Bei Bei to stand in front of Lin Ge.

Qian Wei also strolled over slowly, laughing as he rolled up his sleeves, clearly indicating that he was ready to fight if anyone wanted.

Lin Ge felt a warmth in his heart, and his emotions stabilized considerably.

Just as the two sides were locked in a tense standoff, Nie Guoqiang, whose leg was so painful he could barely feel it, finally limped back.

Seeing the standoff between police officers from Zhanghe Police Station and Yexian Police Station ahead, he was stunned. The seemingly helpless criminal investigation captain stepped forward to explain the situation to him, and then he suddenly realized what was going on and quickly told the police not to roughly damage the female lynx's carcass.

The police officers exchanged glances, then decided to follow orders. They cautiously approached and, seeing that the cat hadn't become aggressive, quickly put the mother lynx into a body bag.

Lin Ge then took a step back, but his anger did not subside at all.

He lazily walked to the side, found a clean spot to lie down, rested his head on his arm and stared blankly, not caring about how the case was progressing.

The accompanying criminal investigators moved the severely decomposed arm, which showed signs of gnawing and decomposition, to a suitable location, and then took simple photos and conducted an examination. They basically confirmed that it belonged to the headless corpse from before, at least the pattern of the cut was the same.

This relieved everyone; thankfully, no second body was found.

Then, Nie Guoqiang and the criminal investigation captain looked at the dark cave together, their brows furrowing slightly.

"So, it's highly likely that the remaining body parts were thrown into this ancient tomb? And once time has passed, or even if the tomb is somehow properly protected, it won't be easy to find out what's inside, right?"

The criminal investigation captain's face was ashen.

"So we need to contact the Cultural Relics Bureau? At least within your jurisdiction, you shouldn't be authorized to excavate ancient tombs at will, right?"

Nie Guoqiang was somewhat troubled, or rather, for an outsider like him, the direction of this matter had become complicated. He personally had no say in Yexian, not to mention that Lu Zhengqi's considerations were completely different from his.

If this had happened in Zhangzhou, it would have been much simpler to handle. After all, the Zhangzhou municipal government is more united and doesn't cause as many problems as here.

just now……

Nie Guoqiang watched quietly as the criminal investigation captain made a phone call to Lu Zhengqi, and then vaguely indicated that a meeting was needed to discuss the matter.

So the only option was to cordon off the area and send police to guard it day and night. Fortunately, with the surveillance system, there was no need to worry about the criminals returning, but unfortunately, the police on duty in the mountains would have a tough time.

It was getting late, and it wasn't safe to return at this time, so everyone decided to pitch their tents in the mountains and spend the night there.

After calming down, the police officers' views on Nie Guoqiang and his group, especially the grumpy cat, had completely changed.

Don't let its bad temper and tendency to hurt people fool you; this cat is incredibly capable! It can truly solve any problem! After this cat stepped in, it discovered clues in Yexian County within the next day, proving its exceptional skill.

Now that the crucial arm has been found, the task of finding fingerprints on the decaying fingers is for the forensic team.

Furthermore, based on deduction, everyone has already guessed that the most vital parts, such as the head and other body parts, are most likely still inside the foul-smelling tomb-raiding hole. Once the cultural relics bureau assists in opening the tomb, they can all be retrieved, and then the victim's identity can be confirmed, along with any related interpersonal relationships. No one believes this case is a crime of passion, so once the victim's identity is confirmed, solving the case is only a matter of time.

"Mimi, do you want some beef jerky? It's authentic from Mongolia, I guarantee it'll taste good."

A young auxiliary police officer, his face covered in mosquito bites, took a bag of beef jerky out of his bag and handed it to Lin Ge with a cheeky grin.

Lin Ge ignored him completely, still pondering the little lynx problem.

The man wasn't even angry at being ignored by the cat. Amid the mocking glances of the other police officers, he put the beef jerky back into the bag, then surprisingly pulled out a cat treat from his pocket, tore it open in front of everyone's astonished gazes, and handed it to Lin Ge.

Holy crap, they were prepared!

"Now we have to eat it, right?"

The young auxiliary police officer smiled smugly.

"What are you laughing at!" Lin Ge rolled his eyes, stood up, and stretched.

Just when the young auxiliary police officer thought he had finally won over the cat, Lin Ge suddenly jumped up and snatched the bag of beef jerky from his other hand. Then, ignoring the group of bastards, he walked towards where the lynxes were hiding, bag in his mouth.

"This……"

The young auxiliary police officer, whose hands were empty, not even a bag of beef was left, looked at the cat treats in his hand and felt like crying.

"Deserve it!"

My colleague gave the simplest evaluation.

"But what is Mimi doing over there?"

Everyone looked in the direction Lin Ge had left, puzzled.

"..." Nie Guoqiang watched Lin Ge leave in silence, but he had already guessed what was going on. Since there was a female lynx, it was very likely...

The large bag of beef jerky was quite heavy, and the ground was covered with weeds and tree roots, so Lin Ge wasn't having a very pleasant time pulling it.

However, he still bit down hard on the bag opening and dragged the at least two-kilogram bag of beef jerky to the entrance of the hole where the two lynx cubs were hiding. After catching his breath, Lin Ge tore the bag open again and took out all the packets of dried beef jerky wrapped in kraft paper.

"Whoa?"

A bold little lynx nervously peeks out its ears and eyes.

The clamor of human scents and sounds nearby made it nervous, but being young, it didn't know whether to run away or hide. Luckily, the nest still smelled of its mother, so the two little ones huddled close together deep inside the burrow until they smelled Ringo's scent before surfacing.

"Don't go out unless necessary, at least not for the next few days."

Lin Ge knew the little lynx wouldn't understand him, but he continued talking as he pushed bags of beef jerky into the hole. With these supplies, the two kids should be able to hold out until the police finished excavating the tomb and they were a bit older.

"Wow!"

The two little creatures were startled by the paper bag thrown in, but they quickly smelled an enticing aroma coming from it. So the two little ones circled the bag, looking both greedy and timid.

"What are you looking at!"

Lingo finally crawled into the lynx hole.

Upon entering, it was indeed a man-made tunnel, even drilled using a lightweight machine. But it's alright, at least the tunnel is sturdy, and the angle of the inner opening prevents rainwater from flowing back in, making it a good location to settle down.

The two lynx cubs anxiously and fearfully clung to Lin Ge, whimpering and nuzzling against him.

Lin Ge suppressed his discomfort and patted them on the head to calm them down. Then he picked up a bag of beef jerky, extended his sharp claws, and slashed it open, revealing the fragrant beef inside.

"Take note!"

Lin Ge taught diligently.

However, how could the two lynx cubs resist such a smell?

With Lingo around, there was no worry about the food. The two little lynxes fought over large pieces of beef from the bag, holding them down with their paws and tearing them apart.

The aroma of the beef grew even stronger.

What would be difficult for a human to tear apart was as crunchy as chocolate in their mouths, easily bitten open and swallowed in large chunks. Soon, an entire bag of 400 grams of dried beef was devoured by the two growing little ones.

Lin Ge looked at it and realized it wasn't enough! It wasn't enough to feed the two boys until they grew up.

So Ringo decisively returned and continued his search for food that could be stored for a long time at the police camp. Before long, three policemen fell victim to his scheme, and the delicious food they had intended to use to get through their hard times was completely looted by Ringo.

"My dried chicken is gone."

"I watched as the cat snatched the duck necks I bought, but I didn't dare to move."

“I heard from Officer Qian that this cat killed someone.”

"Holy shit, is it true?"

"Hey? Where did my huge bag of shrimp go? My wife bought those Mexican shrimp especially for me!"

"..."

The camp was slightly chaotic, but it quickly quieted down. The ferocious cat, which they couldn't hit, scold, or even provoke, had become a nightmare for the group of police officers. No matter where they hid their food, it could easily find it.

The police never expected that this thing could even open zippers! If they weren't careful, it would steal their snacks.

Everyone was both angry and helpless, unable to understand why the cat had stolen so much food. When Sun Chang came over apologetically to offer compensation, everyone just waved their hands casually, indicating that the cat had done a great job and deserved to be treated well.

Soon it was time for bed, but Nie Guoqiang noticed that Lin Ge still hadn't returned.

He knew what Lin Ge was doing and didn't say anything to disturb him. Aside from instructing Sun Chang to compensate the police for their stolen items, he just kept making phone calls, trying to find connections and connections, hoping for a good outcome.

By this time, Lingo had almost filled the home of the two lynx cubs.

Apart from the innermost sleeping area and the easily exposed opening, the passageway was almost entirely filled with food, all of which was the kind that could be stored for a long time.

The two little lynxes were moved to tears, experiencing for the first time the greatness of their godfather and the feeling of having food piled high in the house. Unfortunately, Lin Ge wouldn't allow them to go outside; anyone who dared to peek out would be beaten up.

It was late at night, and Lin Ge was panting heavily from exhaustion.

Looking at the two little ones huddled together, their heads pressed against each other's bottoms, Lin Ge sighed. Perhaps tomorrow's farewell would be a final goodbye? The chances of returning to Yexian were slim, and the possibility of seeing these two little ones again was almost nonexistent.

It's regrettable, but he has done everything he could. Wild animals shouldn't go into the human world; they should wait until they reach adulthood and have their own lives.

Thinking this, Lin Ge gathered some dry grass to cover the entrance of the cave again before turning and leaving.

"Goodbye, godsons!"

"Wow..."

The little lynx let out a cry in its sleep, then drowsily bit the other's tail and fell back asleep.

"came back?"

As expected, when Lin Ge returned to the two tents belonging to Zhanghe Police Station, Nie Guoqiang and the other two were still awake. Even Bei Bei was wide awake and wagged its tail wildly when it saw him.

"Hey, our cat dad's back?"

As soon as Qian Wei saw Lin Ge, he started to mock him. But after being glared at by Lin Ge, he quickly backed down and shrank into the innermost part of the tent with a sly grin.

"Mimi, your problem is difficult to solve."

Nie Guoqiang didn't ask what Lin Ge had gone to do, but said in a deep voice, "A police station is not a zoo, and there's no reason for it to adopt wild animals. However, I contacted Zhangzhou Zoo, and they are willing to take in your two precious sons."

"Hey?"

Lin Ge was stunned, then instantly felt incredibly embarrassed and ashamed. How the hell did you know that?!
