Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 2 The Cat's Revenge
Lin Ge, with a chicken leg in his mouth, returned to the sycamore tree by the courtyard wall, quietly enjoying his food while leisurely admiring the busy crowds under the sunlight.

As for the incident Nie Guoqiang mentioned, it was just something he did when he was bored and went for a walk.

A little girl, having just received her first mobile phone from her parents, has already started playing games and become completely engrossed in them before even realizing its potential to stay in touch with them.

The allure of games is something no teenager can resist. In just one week, she not only spent over a thousand yuan on in-game purchases, but also met a kind and considerate "older brother" online who turned out to be from the same city. She decided to embark on her first real-life online-to-offline meeting.

Later, when the teacher called to say that the girl hadn't come to school, the girl's phone was unreachable, and her parents immediately called the police.

A teenage girl, and a male online friend!

These three keywords touched a nerve with everyone in the police station. Nie Guoqiang quickly led all the police officers in the station to search everywhere, and even asked the neighboring police station for help.

Meanwhile, contacting the game company revealed that the male user's real-name registration in the game was fake. Not only was his game IP problematic, but his account had also been traded privately, making it impossible to investigate this aspect in a short time, and the person could not be located immediately.

Nie Guoqiang knew very well that a man who encouraged a young girl to meet online friends behind her parents' backs could not possibly have any good intentions.

With the worst possible fears, everyone frantically searched from internet cafe to internet cafe and from hotel to hotel, hoping that it wasn't too late.

After all, the longer this matter drags on, the more serious the consequences will be.

Everyone understands.

Then, just when everyone was anxious, Lin Ge, who was leisurely and idle, strolled over to Nie Guoqiang's feet and gestured for Nie Guoqiang to follow him.

It's quite a coincidence that Lin Ge did indeed see the girl in the photo.

Around nine o'clock in the morning, when he was out for a stroll after a good night's sleep, he was tricked by a blond-haired guy.

That bastard bought two cups of lemonade from the milk tea shop. He gave one to the girl next to him who seemed very reserved, and used the other cup with a straw as a water gun to spray on Lin Ge who was passing by, laughing loudly as he did so.

Even after Lin Ge dodged, this guy still kept spitting at him, which was absolutely disgusting.

He grabbed the girl and laughed loudly. At the time, Lin Ge only thought that the blond guy had a bad personality and chose not to argue with him.

But now, looking at the photos in Nie Guoqiang's hand, Lin Ge suddenly realized what was going on.

What happened this morning was nothing more than that yellow-feathered peacock showing off in front of the girl like it was displaying its tail feathers.

Young girls who are inexperienced in the ways of the world probably wouldn't dare to resist, whether they think the behavior is cool or wicked.

Lin Ge couldn't bear to see the girl suffer, and he also wanted to teach that damn blond guy a lesson, so he decided to step forward and approach a human for the first time.

As for whether Nie Guoqiang would believe a cat, Lin Ge felt that a meticulous person like him would not overlook any possibility.

And so, Lingo's gamble paid off.

When Nie Guoqiang discovered that the stray cat that had recently appeared in the station was actually approaching him, staring at the photo in his hand, and turning around to signal him to follow, although he was puzzled and incredulous, he still decided to try his luck and followed Lin Ge out of the police station.

Halfway there, he stared intently at Lin Ge, who was leading the way, his expression unreadable.

After successfully arriving at the milk tea shop from that morning, Lin Ge began to sniff the surrounding scents, especially the lingering smell of saliva.

Nie Guoqiang was taken aback when the cat stopped. He quickly realized what was happening and went to the milk tea shop employee to ask if he had seen the girl.

Naturally, what happened that morning left a deep impression on Lin Ge, and how could the shop assistant forget that bastard who used her hard-earned drink to spray the cat?
She also had some impression of the little girl next to that bastard with blond hair.

This news overjoyed Nie Guoqiang. Once a point is found, the search can radiate outwards, making the search much easier once the area is determined.

But before he could make a call to call for reinforcements, Lin Ge suddenly made a move.

It is well known that dogs have a sense of smell that is more than 45 times stronger than that of humans, and can distinguish more than 20,000 kinds of scents. With training, they are natural police assistants.

But few people know that a cat's sense of smell is just as good as a dog's.

However, cats are not valued because they are difficult to train and refuse to obey commands. Furthermore, while cats have a more developed vomeronasal organ than dogs, which enhances their sense of smell, the portion of their brain that processes olfactory information is smaller, making their olfactory processing less efficient. In other words, although cats possess a stronger sense of smell than dogs, they are not adept at judging and processing odors, which is why they are often overlooked.

And Lingo...

A cat's powerful sense of smell, combined with its brain and calculation abilities that are not much different from those of a human, makes it surpass all other creatures in the world in this respect!
Even though three or four hours had passed, and even though the pedestrian street was bustling with people and filled with countless smells, he still managed to find his target accurately.

You little blondie, don't even think about running away!

You think you can get away with messing with me?

Following the scent, Lin Ge turned and disappeared into the narrow alleyway beside him.

"Hey! Mimi!"

Nie Guoqiang only had time to call out once before Lin Ge had already disappeared. He quickly put away his phone and hurried after him.

The alley is a maze of narrow passages.

Just as behind the glitz and glamour lies a mess, the seemingly glamorous pedestrian street is also a place of considerable disrepair in terms of both people and their living conditions. Merchants rent it out as warehouses, mall employees rent rooms here, and vendors rent rooms here for convenient stall setup.

Unscrupulous landlords have converted houses into makeshift hamsters, with dozens or even nearly a hundred people of all kinds living in a single building. Coupled with the numerous illegal structures scattered around, this creates a highly diverse and transient population.

This is the place where crime is most likely to breed, and it is also a gathering place for the dark side of society.

Seeing Lin Ge walk in, Nie Guoqiang's face turned ugly.

He had been praying that the girl was just being seduced by a young man blinded by hormones. But the reality was, young men generally wouldn't bring girls to places like this.

"Mimi?"

Nie Guoqiang discovered that he had lost track of Lin Ge.

'Clap. '

A piece of broken cement fell from above. Nie Guoqiang looked up and found that Lin Ge had gone to the third floor at some point and was standing on the corridor railing staring at him.

In the dim environment, the cat's eyes and shadow appeared enormous, making it look rather eerie.

Behind it was a row of single rooms connected by a corridor, each with its doors tightly closed.

"over there?"

Nie Guoqiang didn't expect Lin Ge to find the place so quickly, and he ran up without hesitation.

When they reached the third floor, Lingo was squatting in front of one of the doors. His eyes were fixed on the door, his ears were perked up, and his tail was wagging slowly, his movements not as urgent as before.

This attitude inexplicably relieved Nie Guoqiang. He didn't know why, but even though he hadn't found the girl yet, he felt a sense of relief that things hadn't gotten to the worst point.

"?"

Lin Ge looked up at Nie Guoqiang and said, "What are you waiting for if you don't break down the door and go in?"

Nie Guoqiang seemed to understand what the cat meant, and he began to knock on the door.

'Dong-dong. '

The sound rang out for a while, but no further movement came from inside.

"Is there no one inside? This cat has no idea what I'm looking for, it just wandered over randomly? No! I definitely saw that girl at the bubble tea shop!"

Nie Guoqiang glanced down at Lin Ge, who sat motionless, and strengthened his resolve. After taking a deep breath, he began to knock on the door forcefully.

"Open the door! I'm a police officer!"

This time, a faint sound finally came from the room.

Even several rooms not far away were alerted and opened their doors to look in this direction.

Nie Guoqiang continued knocking on the door expressionlessly, while Lin Ge lazily yawned. He could already hear the sound of someone stumbling towards the door.

With his excellent hearing and sense of smell, Lin Ge clearly sensed that the person inside the door was standing at the doorway.

His breathing was heavy, his emotions were panicked, and his sense of despair was undeniable.

"Serves you right! Serves you right for spraying me with water!"

Lin Ge gave a malicious sneer.

"Open the door! I'll count to three, and if you don't open it, I'll break it down!"

Nie Guoqiang also heard heavy breathing from the other side of the door, and he was overjoyed. No ghost! Why the hell are you standing at the door and not opening it?!
‘Crack. ’

The sound of the lock sliding came, and a pale-faced, blond-haired man peeked out from the crack in the door, trembling.

"Is there something wrong, officer? I haven't done anything wrong."

The familiar tone and the unintentional admission made Nie Guoqiang's eyes light up.

Before he could even speak, Lin Ge, like a large black and white rat, leaped over the blond-haired man's legs and darted through the crack in the door.

Huang Mao's expression changed drastically as he tried to grab him, but Nie Guoqiang grabbed his shoulder tightly and he couldn't break free.

"Where are you going? Is there anything in the house that you don't want people to see?"

"I……"

The blond-haired man's lips twitched, revealing an expression even more unsightly than crying.
