Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 178 Wolf King
Luo Jue's words made Nie Guoqiang and Li Changqing stand up together.

"You didn't lie?"

Nie Guoqiang stared at Luo Jue in a deep voice, but was glared at by Lin Ge.

Lin Ge was very dissatisfied with Nie Guoqiang's attitude. How could this child lie? Besides, when they went to Tuqiao Village that day, everyone clearly noticed something was wrong. Although they didn't know it was a case of women trafficking, there was no doubt that something was amiss.

"Heh... Damn it! You're slapping me in the face? How embarrassing!"

Li Changqing laughed like a night owl, sneering as he lightly patted his face before staring at Luo Jue. "Kid, you can't afford the consequences of fooling the police. If tonight my team doesn't find any clues in Tuqiao Village, and if we don't find that so-called trafficked woman near your father, you'll know what the consequences are! But for now, I'll believe you this once! Yongshi won't allow this kind of bastard to live!"

With that, Li Changqing ignored the others in the room and stormed out.

Soon after, Li Changqing's roar echoed from the next room, followed by a frenzy like a wild beast unleashed, mobilizing the entire annex building. Everyone was running and shouting, causing the scene to boil and explode like hot oil meeting water.

"Wow...this guy is so decisive!"

Qian Wei gasped. This was the first time he had ever seen such impulsive criminal investigations that mobilized a large force without needing detailed intelligence, completely disregarding whether they would make a wasted trip.

Even at dusk!

Nie Guoqiang looked at him with approval. He liked this kind of comrade who was fiery, proactive in handling cases, and willing to sacrifice personal interests for the public good without considering his own needs.

Lin Ge curiously walked out the door, jumped onto the windowsill, and looked down.

In the once quiet city police compound, dozens of police officers were rapidly assembling. Some were putting on their clothes as they ran, some were cursing while quickly organizing their equipment, and others were shirtless, their clothes nowhere to be seen, yet they were eager to get into a brawl. These guys were Li Changqing's men, and Lin Ge could immediately sense their strong fighting spirit and intense enthusiasm.

He estimated that some of those who had already gone home might be on their way. Because the people Li Changqing brought along were definitely like that—this scruffy-bearded, foul-mouthed fellow was a fiery wolf king.

"I received intelligence that there are kidnappers on our turf!"

Before the crowd had fully assembled, Li Changqing roared, "They're courting death! Southern Province finally managed to suppress the child trafficking scandal in the execution ground; we absolutely cannot allow them to resurface! If we find one, we kill one! If we find a village, we wipe out the entire village!"

Kill those bastards!

"That kidnapper deserves to die!"

"Fuck you!"

A group of criminal investigation police officers roared angrily.

It was fortunate that this happened inside the police station, and fortunately, the neighboring residential area was a police family compound with no outsiders. Otherwise, such shouting might have scared the criminals away beforehand.

Of course, this might be the result Li Changqing wanted.

Criminals can never be completely caught, nor can they disappear from the world. But having such a fierce wolf king, along with such a pack of hungry wolves, is enough to strike fear into the hearts of many criminals, causing them to leave Yongshi and cause trouble elsewhere.

Ah!
It seems that police in every area have similar thoughts: since they can't catch them all, they might as well drive them out of their jurisdiction.

Lin Ge glanced at Nie Guoqiang.

Nie Guoqiang seemed to have thought of the same thing, and actually nodded to Lin Ge. The corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, as if he was very satisfied with the fighting spirit of the criminal police officers below.

“Let’s go too! Qian Wei, go tell Sun Chang that we’re heading to Tuqiao Village with the main group. Luo Jue, you can’t leave the police station yet, so let Officer Xiong Xingjie take care of you for a while longer. Once we get back good news, all the trouble will be over. Mimi, stop slacking off, let’s get going. Ouch… you little rascal, don’t run so fast! You know my legs are sore, why don’t you wait for me a little longer?”

Nie Guoqiang kept issuing various orders, as if the wolves downstairs had also stirred up the fire in his heart.

By the time Lin Ge impatiently urged Nie Guoqiang to get into the police car, the wolf pack from the Yongshi Criminal Investigation Brigade had already roared out of the city bureau.

Several more police cars joined them halfway through the journey; they were criminal investigation colleagues who had finished their business and were heading back to the station to go home.

Upon learning that the human trafficking cases, which had been severely cracked down on and almost eradicated in the Southern Province, might actually resurface, the group disregarded their day's hard work and angrily joined the wolf pack.

The human traffickers of Nan Province were a notorious and ugly phenomenon throughout the country more than a decade ago. When people across the country mentioned human traffickers, the first thing that came to mind was Nan Province, the Nan accent, and the sleazy appearance of some old woman from Nan Province.

This humiliation left the police officers in the southern province feeling extremely ashamed.

With the support and assistance of the state, they spent a great deal of energy, manpower and resources, and even shamelessly pursued the criminals across the country, finally eradicating those damned criminals who trafficked women and children.

Finally, Southern Province is no longer a major area for human trafficking. Finally, Southern Province is no longer the province that hosts the most trafficked women. Finally, the number of human traffickers reported in the news is no longer predominantly from Southern Province. How could this be allowed...?

They've reappeared!

More than a dozen police cars roared through the downtown area, stopping menacingly in front of the Third Municipal Hospital amidst the confusion and whispers of passersby, completely blocking the entire road.

Nie Guoqiang's car was blocked at the outermost point and couldn't get in at all.

However, Li Changqing still gave Nie Guoqiang face. More than ten minutes later, he added Nie Guoqiang as a friend and informed him that Luo Jianlin could not be found at the hospital. It was said that he had gone home to sell chickens and ducks, and that there was indeed a woman with him.

The tall, thin nurse even helped the police confirm that the woman was in her thirties or forties and was not Luo Jianlin's mistress, Xiaomei.

"Hehe... Doesn't that confirm it?"

Li Changqing sneered and led his men out of the city again, this time surging out like a flood.

"A bunch of lunatics!"

Sun Chang squinted, gritted his teeth, and steered the car tightly behind the last police car.

However, these bastards didn't take traffic regulations seriously at all, speeding with great relish. When Sun Chang finally slowed down in front of the speed camera, then accelerated and floored the accelerator, he could no longer see the taillights of the police car convoy.

Only the faint flashing lights of police cars visible overhead told Sun Chang that they had not teleported away.

Lin Ge stared in shock at the scene, then looked back at Nie Guoqiang and suddenly realized that Captain Li Changqing was even more formidable than Nie Guoqiang. His style of doing things, his arrogant demeanor—most people couldn't imitate that!

"If it weren't for a powerful bureau chief protecting him, this guy with that kind of personality would have been fired eight hundred times over."

Qian Wei felt a mixture of envy and disdain.

Nie Guoqiang then turned around and glanced at this clueless idiot.

If I hadn't protected him and hadn't been so tolerant, given Qian Wei's bastard behavior, he would have been fired a thousand times over, and his house would have been mortgaged to the bank as compensation for the victim, you idiot.

"?"

Nie Guoqiang's gaze made Qian Wei pause for a moment, confused, wondering what he had said wrong.

So Nie Guoqiang stopped paying attention to him.

Soon, after about an hour, more than ten police cars arrived at Tuqiao Village. They quickly blocked the entrances on both sides of the village and sent people to occupy every possible escape route around the village.

The sirens and flashing lights of the police cars also woke up the villagers who stayed behind.

Seeing this spectacular scene outside the village, everyone was terrified. Some were at a loss, some panicked, and some immediately began to think of ways to escape.

Luo Jianlin is one of them.

Even disregarding the woman he had locked inside, Luo Jianlin slipped out the back door without a word.

He seemed to have been preparing to escape for a long time, making his way through narrow alleys and even the gaps in the ditches between the walls of two houses.

In less than two minutes, he quickly arrived at the bamboo grove on the side of the village and quietly squeezed in.

"Send two people over here too! Don't just kill people, you can't even spare the cats and dogs!"

A gruff-voiced policeman appeared on the other side of the bamboo grove. After looking around, he left two other officers behind. Seemingly sensing that there was a good chance someone was hiding there, he took out a flashlight and slowly shone it into the bamboo grove.

This posture instantly made Luo Jianlin nervous.

People are more prone to making mistakes when they are nervous. Not to mention that Luo Jianlin is not a remarkable person at all, his mental fortitude is negligible, and he trembled and sat down on the ground.

"who!"

The swaying bamboo instantly startled the policeman.
