Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 173 Trading
"Wang Wang!"

Just as everyone was stunned and unsure how to handle the little lynx, Beibei started barking. It frantically shook off Sun Chang and rushed to Lin Ge, barking loudly at the people around it.

The cat and dog seemed to instantly become the little lynx's guardians, protecting it firmly behind them.

"Well done, Beibei!"

Lin Ge looked at the Allied soldiers around him with satisfaction and decided to treat Bei Bei a little better when he got back.

"These cats and dogs, were they brought by Director Nie?"

The Yexian police were the first to calm down. Seeing Lin Ge and Bei Bei's attitude towards the little lynx, they immediately guessed the little guy's powerful backer.

Sure enough, when they turned to look at Nie Guoqiang, his calm expression suggested he wasn't surprised at all. He simply walked over casually, squatted down, and gave Lin Ge and Bei Bei's heads a couple of firm rubs.

"Whoa?"

The little lynx secretly raised its head to look at Nie Guoqiang, who was standing close by, and noticed that he smelled like its godfather. It immediately breathed a sigh of relief and called out.

Nie Guoqiang stared at the little lynx expressionlessly. The little lynx met his gaze without any fear, unlike those people or animals who would cower at the sight of him.

Nie Guoqiang's eyelid twitched.

"Director Nie...this is..."

The criminal investigation captain walked out with a conflicted expression. The situation at the scene had become even worse because of this Maine Coon, or rather, lynx.

People can be indifferent to tombs from the Ming and Qing dynasties, but what about tombs from the Sui and Tang dynasties?
Who the hell dares to dig it up?
"Act in accordance with the law."

Nie Guoqiang responded coldly with just four words.

Suddenly grabbing the lynx by the scruff of its neck, Nie Guoqiang stood up and turned to leave. Lin Ge and Bei Bei turned and followed, while Sun Chang and Qian Wei looked around and, feeling it was better to stick with their own people, quickly lowered their heads and squeezed out of the crowd.

As the police officers watched in silence, Nie Guoqiang dragged the motionless lynx back to its den.

Another lynx was pacing anxiously near the entrance. When it heard a sound approaching, it darted into its burrow. But soon, hearing its companion's call, it timidly poked its head out of the burrow and stared intently at Nie Guoqiang as he approached.

Lingo was now completely certain that these two idiots had been spoiled rotten.

With that fearless attitude, it's only a matter of time before it gets caught. If it's lucky, they'll contact the forestry bureau and send it back to the wild or to a zoo. If it's unlucky, it'll just become someone's hotpot.

He put the lynx down and watched it dash to its companion, where it began to gnaw and bite, quickly turning into a playful tussle. Nie Guoqiang looked down at Lin Ge, whose face was covered in excrement.

"Take them back! This place is no longer suitable for them."

Lin Ge nodded without saying a word.

He was regretting his actions yesterday, regretting that he had fed those two idiots too much. Everyone says wild animals are hard to tame, but that's really just because the food isn't tempting enough! Look at these two lynxes, they've been tamed in just one day.

"Um... Mimi, can I touch them?"

Sun Chang understood the whole story and learned that Lin Ge had two illegitimate children in addition to his three biological sons. The lynx was so adorable that she wished she could take one home and raise it herself.

Lin Ge ignored Sun Chang. What's with all the touching? Does he really want to keep him as a pet?

"Hehe... Our police station is about to become a zoo! There are cats, dogs, and now lynxes. The animal army is getting more and more impressive."

Qian Wei chuckled.

Lin Ge also imagined himself leading his animal army on a wild roam, rampaging through the area. However, he quickly came to his senses and realized that given the lynx's status and protection level, the police station most likely had no intention of adopting them.

If you want to see those two little rascals often, you'll have to rely on Nie Guoqiang's methods.

Lin Ge looked up at Nie Guoqiang.

Nie Guoqiang lowered his head and calmly said to Lin Ge, "You have to solve the trouble you caused yourself, and as soon as possible. Although I don't know where those two little guys got the ancient artifacts from, it's a fact that the tomb can't be excavated at will. So the best way now is to find a way to retrieve the remains of the corpses that the criminals threw in. Mimi... this is your job, whether it's for solving the case or for those two little guys."

"Going into graves?"

Lin Ge's face was extremely pale; it was a phrase that would give anyone a nightmare just thinking about it.

But the only thing he could do was retrieve the remains of the body from the tomb through the looter's hole in the shortest amount of time, without damaging the tomb. Or rather, it was precisely because he was there that this method could be used.

Can I refuse? Of course you can!

But should we refuse?

Nie Guoqiang made it very clear that to bring the two lynx cubs from Yexian to Zhangshi, they would need cooperation and assistance from this side. But why should they cooperate? Undoubtedly, they would have to be given a suitable price.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Ge slowly nodded.

Leaving the two lynx cubs behind for the time being, Lin Ge followed Nie Guoqiang back to the camp.

Upon closer inspection, two archaeology students had already begun setting up a cordon around the ancient tomb to prevent anyone from damaging it in any way.

The professor over there was also making phone calls to contact other people, and it seemed that more archaeologists would be involved soon.

Under these circumstances, once the archaeological experts have determined the location of the Sui and Tang tombs and confirmed that excavating the Ming and Qing tombs would not damage the Sui and Tang tombs, the police could no longer move even a shovelful of soil on this side.

Unless, of course, they have the guts to offend these old professors who have dedicated their lives to teaching and nurturing students and possess countless hidden talents.

Nie Guoqiang explained his opinion to the head of the criminal investigation team.

"Let the cat crawl in?"

The criminal investigation captain paused for a moment, then quickly realized: "That's right, you can do it that way! If a corpse can be thrown in, then a cat can definitely get in too! As long as we can get the corpse out, we don't care if it's a Ming or Qing dynasty tomb or a Sui or Tang dynasty tomb!"

The group of police officers, who had been waiting bored, immediately became excited.

"However, no one can guarantee that there are no dangers inside the tomb! Collapses, suffocation, and even all sorts of toxic substances could be hidden underneath! Allowing anyone into an untested tomb could be a murder!"

Xuan Ye stood beside him, expressionless, enjoying the cold wind.

Everyone was speechless.

Listening to their discussions and sighs, Lin Ge finally understood the two characters of the girl's strange name. The surname Xuan (箤) belonged to Ye City, the oldest surname and the oldest city, dating back to the Zhou Dynasty three thousand years ago. After King Wu of Zhou destroyed the Shang Dynasty, the Xuan people came to the old site of Ye City. Duke Huan of Qi built Ye City, and the Xuan surname took root there. This was a girl whose surname and given name both carried a strong historical flavor; she seemed destined to study archaeology, and her meticulousness towards her profession was truly admirable.

However, despite being an archaeologist, Xuan Ye was not an unreasonable girl.

Seeing that the police officers listened attentively to her opinions, she couldn't bear to let the victim remain unjustly accused, so she used her professional skills to conduct a preliminary inspection and investigation of the tomb-raiding tunnel.

With Qin Zihao's cooperation, she used professional instruments to confirm that the tunnel was clear and that the oxygen content inside was normal before she made way for Lin Ge.

At this time, Lingo was already fully armed.

A safety rope was attached to his waist, with lighting, monitoring, and communication equipment at one end, and a small body bag was also tied to it.

Lin Ge's task wasn't simply to crawl in randomly and then rudely crawl out with the bone in his mouth. He needed to help the lighting and surveillance equipment determine the situation below, photograph and collect evidence of the remains' condition, and provide evidence of any marks on the remains that might have been caused by the cat in the case. Only after that would he pack the remains, whose condition was unknown, into body bags, which would then be protected by the police and sent to the city police station.

The details are quite complicated, but most of them revolve around protecting Lingo and finding as many clues as possible.

On the other hand, it also allows for a preliminary understanding of the situation inside the tomb, helping the upcoming archaeologists to determine their work direction and excavation focus, and reducing the possibility of problems.

All these various reasons were ultimately placed on the shoulders of a cat.

"That's amazing!"

Seeing the cat struggling to move due to its burden, Xuan Ye sighed with emotion.

She also longed to own such a magical cat, so that many complex archaeological tasks would be simplified thanks to the cat's intelligence and convenience. For one thing, some disastrously disastrous excavations that caused serious damage could perhaps have been avoided.

"Robots can do this too! Perhaps in a few years, we will be able to use high-tech robots to explore the tombs and prevent regrettable things from happening."

Qin Zihao moved closer to Xuan Ye.

"Get out! Give me back my limited edition doll, and my Maine Coon cat!"

Xuan Ye turned on you in an instant.

Thank you to reader "Dark Night Chanting" for the 500-point reward. Thank you for your support.

Also, there are only two days left of double monthly passes during the National Day holiday, so I'm asking for them again as usual.
