Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 195 Calling the Octonauts

No one paid any attention to Wu Laosan's shouts.

Not to mention that he has already admitted to being a tomb raider, and that the axe found at the scene has tested positive for blood residue using luminol reagent. Just consider the belt that Lin Ge was so tightly protecting; professional bailiffs subsequently tested it and found it to contain flammable, explosive, toxic, and harmful Class A hazardous chemicals.

Although the young bailiff scoffed, saying the substance was crudely made and of low purity, a product of a century-old society, it was still a contraband, and Wu Laosan's criminal record was undeniable.

As for whether or not murder occurred, please leave any further explanations to the police station!
On the other hand, after handing the hot potato over to the professional police, Lin Ge finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But the matter wasn't over yet. Lin Ge now just wanted to do all the work perfectly, so that the Zhushi police couldn't find any fault with it, and then go home in glory with honor and rewards.

Therefore, Lin Ge summoned Sun Chang and Bei Bei, and selected four of the best-performing police dogs from the group. He then led them to the location where Wu Laosan had buried the body.

Seeing this, several police officers exchanged glances and quickly followed.

Lin Ge ignored them; in fact, the reason he went to such lengths was precisely to let them see. He was still somewhat reluctant to demonstrate his ability to communicate with humans when dealing with these unfamiliar police officers; as long as the gesture was conveyed, that was enough, right?
The group set off again, once more venturing into the thorny thicket where it was difficult to traverse.

As expected, when they returned to the spot where Wu Laosan had sprayed the wild animal's urine, all five police dogs clearly showed signs of discomfort and fear.

"What's going on here?"

Sun Chang couldn't smell anything, but seeing the restless state of the police dogs, she became somewhat panicked.

But seeing Lin Ge's calm demeanor, she felt inexplicably reassured. Since the smartest cat hadn't shown any dangerous reaction, it must just be something designed to target police dogs, right?
Soon, a disheveled Sun Chang finally followed Lin Ge out of a thicket of thorny weeds.

She pouted and forcefully pulled the spiky hair off her head, crying out in pain. Then she noticed that Lin Ge and the four police dogs were also covered in a mess of plant seeds, so she carefully moved forward, removing the debris from them as she went.

The four police dogs were obedient; even with their fur ripped out, they didn't get angry at Sun Chang in the slightest.

Lin Ge was different. Whenever Sun Chang moved too forcefully, he would immediately turn around and bare his teeth. Seeing this, Sun Chang had no choice but to pick up this spoiled guy and pick the fruit for him as they walked, treating him like an ancestor.

"Are you my pet owner?"

Beibei let out a jealous whimper, but after being glared at by Ling Ge, she immediately lowered her head timidly.

Seven or eight policemen emerged from behind, adjusting their hats. They exchanged glances upon seeing the scene and almost laughed. However, upon seeing the various needle marks on their bodies, they shook their heads helplessly, forced to admit that Wu Laosan was indeed capable.

Being able to move freely in such a forest is something most people couldn't do.

If it weren't for Mimi and a group of police dogs, who would have thought the body would be hidden in such a place? Police officers are human too, and they can't possibly search every inch of the area. Many places that are considered inaccessible to humans are likely to be overlooked due to common sense.

It is said that this is precisely why various countries have considered breeding small police animals. Animals like rats and moles, once trained, can assist the police in many tasks, proving invaluable in solving cases and apprehending criminals.

Of course, for the same old reasons, these ideas still only exist in theory.

Police dogs remain the most widely used dogs in the world.

"Do you think these police cats are really a good investment? Criminals these days are smarter; they've learned to target police dogs. But police cats... they're unlikely to be among their targets, right?"

A young policeman chatted curiously with his colleague.

"Hehe... You should try it! There's a police cat up ahead. Call it and see if it listens to you."

His companion teased him by tugging at the back of his head and yanking off a green, spiky ball, causing the guy to clutch his head and yell in pain.

"ill?"

Lin Ge stared at these guys speechlessly. Did they think the criminal had been caught, so they let their guard down?
As for what the two bastards said, Lingo certainly heard it.

But he never considered himself an ordinary cat, so why would he care about these guys' opinions of cats?

As for whether other cats could serve as police cats, Lin Ge felt it was a bit doubtful. Putting aside everything else, none of the cats he knew were capable of understanding human commands. Or rather, even if they could understand, they wouldn't be that obedient.

Unless the police train them and then Ringo leads them, the police cats don't need to understand police orders; they just need to learn some job skills and then follow Ringo's instructions. With Ringo taking the lead, there might be a possibility that this could be accomplished.

"Hmm... that's impossible, isn't it? I'm just being delusional. The police would go to all this trouble just to train my underlings? They don't have that much free time. Besides, I can't be in two places at once. Training a bunch of cats for one case is too inefficient."

Lin Ge shook his head, dismissing the inexplicable thought.

The burial site wasn't too far away. After all, Wu Laosan didn't escape for long before Lin Ge, along with the police dogs and that meritorious snake, subdued him.

It is said that Wu Laosan's poisoning symptoms were quite severe because the police doctor arrived somewhat late. In addition to hallucinations, a symptom of poisoning, he even occasionally experienced convulsions in his limbs, requiring hospital treatment before he could be questioned by the police.

Arriving at the crack in the gorge formed by the landslide, Lin Ge sniffed to pinpoint the location, then squatted down to wait for the police to come to their aid.

Upon arriving in the vicinity, the police officers, without Lin Ge's prompting, could already smell a faint odor of decay. The smell was so faint that even if the police searched the area for another two or three days at most, they wouldn't find anything unusual.

"Heh...a natural burial ground!"

A policeman glanced at both sides of the crack and couldn't help but admire Wu Laosan's cleverness. Moreover, a new problem had arisen: the soil here was excessively loose, posing a constant risk of a secondary collapse.

In such cases, if an error occurs during the excavation process leading to a collapse, the victim's body could be buried even deeper.

The best way would be to use heavy machinery to process this soft land, but the current environment is deep in the mountains, and unless heavy-duty aircraft are used for transportation, excavators simply cannot get in.

"This is a bit of a problem. Are we really going to have to pitifully use small shovels to slowly work it out?"

The young policeman brushed the grass clippings off his clothes while deep in thought.

Even the more experienced police officers worriedly said, "If we could pinpoint the exact location, even just reducing the area to two or three meters would significantly decrease the possibility of a landslide. But... we can't get the large scanning equipment here!"

"Does this still require a scan?"

Lin Ge glanced at these guys with disdain.

Several police officers noticed his undisguised contemptuous look, and he immediately felt embarrassed and unable to back down.

The younger one glared at Lin Ge and threatened angrily, "What are you looking at, you stupid cat? Look again and I'll bury you and make you crawl into the ground to help me find you!"

"idiot!"

Lin Ge didn't respond, but walked to the place where the stench of the corpse was strongest, and then stared at the young policeman provocatively.

"Is it looking down on me?"

The young policeman understood Lin Ge's look and turned to his colleague in disbelief, saying, "What does this little guy mean? Does it think we're making a mountain out of a molehill? Or does it think digging is a simple thing? Heh... digging is easy, but trying not to damage the body is not easy! Does this stinky cat even understand how frustrating it is when we solve a case but still get criticized and complained about by the victim's family?"

The older police officers shrugged, already quite used to the younger officers complaining about things.

"Ha ha……"

Sun Chang couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. Seeing several police officers looking over, she carefully pointed at Lin Ge and said, "Does Mimi mean that the victim's body is where it's pointing? With a cat's and dog's sense of smell, finding a body shouldn't be difficult, right?"

"..."

The police officers exchanged glances, and then it dawned on them.

It's not that they're stupid and don't know how amazing a cat's or dog's sense of smell is, but who would think of cats or dogs as being able to guide them? Who would imagine that a cat could know and understand what worries a human is having?
In the minds of normal people, it is already quite remarkable that cats and dogs can accurately identify the target area.

They simply overlooked the fact that Ringo was no ordinary cat.
