Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 191 The Way is One Foot Higher

When he saw the wide crack in front of him, Lingo knew he had found his target.

The faint stench of decay emanating from the crack was so distinct that the cats and dogs could clearly detect it without a doubt.

Moreover, looking up, one can clearly see a narrow path through the thicket of thorns and bushes on this side. It appeared as the soil collapsed and cracked, proving that people could carry heavy objects across this side.

Lin Ge didn't know where the other end of this path led; perhaps the exit was well-hidden and easily overlooked. But regardless, it represented a complete route for transporting and hiding the body, and he finally led the police dog unit to their destination successfully.

"Phew... That wasn't easy!"

Looking back at the dozen or so police dogs swaying back and forth, Lin Ge felt both moved and impressed.

As he led the nine police dogs in good condition forward, the rest of the listless dogs did not give up. Instead, they remembered their mission with great perseverance and followed along without missing a single one.

As many police dogs followed Ling Ge on his journey, just as many police dogs are still following behind him to this day. Despite the various difficulties and traps along the way, not a single police dog has fallen behind.

Looking at these dogs, even Lin Ge had to admit that they were truly outstanding.

Of course, the most awesome one has to be yourself.

"No, why would I compare myself to a dog?"

Lin Ge shook his head violently, not understanding why his thoughts were wandering at this moment. Quickly blaming a certain suspect, Lin Ge looked around warily and decided to warn Sun Chang.

Just as Lin Ge thought he had finished his work, his ear suddenly twitched.

The close appearance of the cat and dog startled the guy who was hiding nearby. He reflexively yelled "Holy crap!" The sound was crystal clear to Lin Ge, who immediately concluded that someone was hiding nearby.

To Lin Ge's surprise, only the three police dogs reacted in the same way as him; the other dogs seemed to have their hearing and sense of smell impaired due to some kind of influence.

"I hope it's not permanent, and I hope it can be cured. Otherwise, you bastard, I'll make you pay for hurting my little brother!"

Narrowing his eyes, Lin Ge led the way cautiously toward the location where the sound came from.

A group of police dogs followed behind. Even in their worst condition, they still had sharp claws and fangs and could work together to defeat any enemy.

"Holy crap, how did they manage to follow us?"

Old Wu was shocked. He never expected that the police dogs he encountered today would be so different from those he had encountered in the past.

In the past, when encountering police dogs, one of the three "stabilizing techniques" was enough to easily defeat them. But this time, even after using two of the "ancestral treasures," why haven't these police dogs fallen and lost their fighting ability?
"If we get caught, we're doomed. Looks like we have no choice but to use it."

Wu Laosan's expression was uncertain. He slowly unbuckled his belt and took out a very thin packet of white powder from the leather lining.

It was clear that this white powder was extremely dangerous, because even Wu Laosan dared not touch it with his bare hands. He carefully held the plastic film containing the white powder, untied the rope at one end, adjusted the wind position, and stood ready for anything.

This is... a small bag of chemical powder refined using ancestral secret techniques, possessing a more dangerous flammability and toxicity than white phosphorus.

Therefore, Wu Laosan only dared to wrap it in a cloth bag with a thick layer of heat-insulating and insulating cowhide, and had no intention of using it unless absolutely necessary. This high-purity chemical was something he had obtained at a considerable cost, a last resort to deal with any siege.

"Sniff..."

Lin Ge paused, suddenly smelling a highly threatening odor. It was slightly pungent, like marsh gas or rotten eggs. It also inexplicably made the hairs on Lin Ge's body stand on end, giving him a feeling that the surrounding area was no longer safe.

"Woo..."

The police dogs also became alert, sensing the threat as well, and even those who were listless were scared away.

"retreat!"

Without hesitation, Lingo gave the order and was the first to move backward, his eyes fixed on the direction from which the smell was coming.

Some of the police dogs turned around, some went backwards, but they were all quite obedient.

Lin Ge breathed a sigh of relief. After retreating thirty or forty meters, the smell of chemicals finally faded considerably. Lin Ge stared wide-eyed in the direction of the smell's origin, and this time he was finally able to spot a man dressed in beggar's clothes on a branch halfway up a very thick tree.

It's like a patchwork garment made of various colored fabrics, with different shades but no particularly eye-catching colors, which serves as a form of camouflage.

The guy's movements were a bit strange; he was stretching out one hand, seemingly doing something. Even Lin Ge could inexplicably sense a hint of fear in his expression from afar, as if the threatening thing itself was also very dangerous to him.

With that thought, Lin Ge understood.

He now has three options. His first choice is naturally to surround the guy and patiently wait for the police to catch up. At that time, the guy will naturally not be able to escape the net.

Secondly, the undeniable danger also allowed Lin Ge to choose to let him go for the time being. After all, the important hiding place of the body had been found, and even if this guy managed to escape this time, his future freedom would undoubtedly be short-lived.

Again… Ringo squinted.

With Nie Guoqiang gone, Sun Chang lost her anchor and was somewhat ignored by the police. Even with Lin Ge's mighty command of the dogs, it would still be difficult for a young girl like her to be pointed at and whispered about.

Especially after her intern status was exposed, her status instantly became the lowest among them.

Furthermore, Luo Jue's problem needs to be resolved as soon as possible. Even though the Zhuzhou Public Security Bureau has promised to take good care of Ai Yun, the best solution is to send her to Zhangzhou for comprehensive and systematic treatment as soon as possible.

This kind of thing should be done sooner rather than later, and there's no need to waste any more time here, so there's no need to choose a battle method that doesn't require much hesitation.

And one last thing: with the crisp autumn air, Lin Ge worried that this guy might resort to desperate measures and set the mountain on fire. With the current wind force of six or seven, and in the middle of nowhere, if the fire started… the consequences would be unimaginable.

Therefore, after calmly assessing the difference in strength between the two sides, Lin Ge didn't believe this guy could pose much of a threat to him. His weapon was indeed powerful, but it seemed to be somewhat dependent on wind direction. Also, he underestimated the strength of cats and dogs.

Lin Ge stared at Bei Bei, who tilted her head, looking puzzled.

"Stupid dog!"

Lin Ge glared at Bei Bei, then looked at the German Shepherd, Kunming Dog, and Rottweiler sitting obediently on the other side.

These three are in the best condition of all the police dogs, one of which is even the beloved dog of the training captain. Without a doubt, they are also the strongest among the dogs.

Signaling the other dogs to sit still and not move, Lin Ge led the three dogs quietly around to sneak up behind the suspect.

Belatedly realizing what was happening, Beibei tried to catch up, but was glared at by Lingo and could only sit obediently, accepting the command to lead the other police dogs and keep them still.

Immediately, Lingo ducked down and disappeared into the bushes.

"Woo..."

Beibei whimpered twice in grievance, but obediently did not disobey Lingo's command. She just sat obediently in place, wagging her tail boredly.

On the other hand, compared to so-called patchwork ghillie suits, the natural fur color of cats and dogs is actually more effective at concealment. After Lin Ge led the three police dogs into the bushes, Wu Laosan immediately lost track of them.

In addition, there were quite a few police dogs over there, and Wu Laosan didn't know the total number, so he didn't even notice that three dogs were missing.

As for the cat?
After searching for a while without finding it, and with the thing in his other hand making him wary, Wu Laosan decided to put the cat aside.

Maybe... perhaps... it was just a coincidence that I met this cat, and it likes to play with dogs?

Otherwise, is that cat a policeman?
Haha... What a joke!
Shaking his head to put the idea aside, Wu Laosan's hands were getting a little sore, so he carefully switched hands while holding the plastic film.

To be honest, he was indeed planning to set the mountain on fire and escape in the chaos. The biggest advantage of what he had was its stronger self-ignition and burning ability compared to white phosphorus. If the police dared to lay a hand on him, he would inevitably set the mountain on fire and perish along with those bastards.

It's not bad if a tomb raider can have a hundred or so policemen buried with him.

Wu Laosan was excited about the idea, and even had an urge to trick the police up the mountain right now.

Anyway, he wasn't very successful in his life, and he didn't make a name for himself with his family's traditional craft. If he could do something that would bring him worldwide fame before he died, that would be worthy of the Wu family name.
