Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 20 Super Cat

The police mobilization was quite large, and it quickly attracted a large crowd.

Amidst the wailing of sirens, the dock was completely surrounded. When Nie Guoqiang gave the order to begin the arrest operation, the scene erupted into a frenzy, like hot oil meeting cold water.

The fishing boat, which was hiding three suspects from a gambling syndicate, was quickly surrounded by police, who then swiftly stormed inside.

There was some noise coming from inside, but it quickly subsided. In Lingo's ears, the other party didn't have much of a chance to struggle. Before long, the bearded man and the man named Iron Head were dragged out of the cabin by the police, their heads covered with black masks.

The crowd gasped in surprise.

As most people know, black hoods are mostly props used by criminals.

But... Ringo's eyes narrowed.

Because one person is missing!

What happened to that green-haired guy? The only one who never showed up in front of the police, yet was definitely a member of the criminal gang, why did he disappear?

Lin Ge found it strange. Could someone really disappear from the police's tight net?

Or is there some loophole in the police's operation?
Under Li Yiduo's curious gaze, Lin Ge suddenly moved.

He swaggered into the police-surrounded area and then brazenly sniffed around.

Because he was so dirty that his original fur color was no longer visible, the onlookers nearby simply thought he was a bold stray cat. Only his colleagues at the police station recognized him by the scar on his forehead and quickly notified Nie Guoqiang.

Not long after, Nie Guoqiang rushed over.

Just then, Lin Ge had already checked a spot near the boat that the onlookers couldn't see, so Nie Guoqiang didn't bother to hide. He walked straight over and asked, "Mimi, what happened? What's wrong with those two people who were caught?"

"What problems could they possibly have? The problem is you missed them!"

Lin Ge muttered to himself.

Judging from Nie Guoqiang's expression, he knew that the two prisoners hadn't immediately confessed about Green Hair. Or perhaps they were still making a desperate struggle, unaware that the police's reasons for arresting them weren't just gambling, but also related to drugs.

So Lin Ge ignored Nie Guoqiang and continued searching for Green Hair's scent.

Hard!

Very troublesome!
There are too many smells around here!

The heat caused the odor to evaporate rapidly, and with the arrival of a large number of police officers and onlookers nearby, the smell in the area became extremely chaotic. The relentless wind along the river carried the odor everywhere, adding to Lingo's difficulties.

He not only needs to find the scent of green hair, but also to determine the freshness of the scent and the direction from which it is coming. The things he needs to think about are very complex.

But we can't not do it!
Lin Ge likes to see things through to the end and dislikes any regrets. Catching only two out of three prisoners is too frustrating for someone with obsessive-compulsive tendencies!
Frustrated by his thoughts, he slashed hard at the hull beside him, leaving three deep scratches.

Three? Am I overthinking it?

Nie Guoqiang's eyes narrowed.

Seeing that Zhang Yong was nearby, he quickly called Zhang Yong over: "Are those the only known suspects? Through the investigation of the surrounding surveillance cameras, have you found any other suspects?"

“No, these guys are very cautious and rarely appear under the cameras.” Zhang Yong shook his head, then asked doubtfully, “Did you find something wrong? When we blocked the ship, we didn’t see any signs of anyone escaping.”

"Mimi is still sniffing; his attitude is strange."

Nie Guoqiang pointed at Lin Ge.

Lin Ge could smell the ship he had boarded from the ship that had captured the people, and he even began to get excited. He still couldn't find the scent of Green Hair, but he was lucky enough to smell the fresh water on this ship.

It tastes the same as ordinary food, and not much different from the river water below.

But... this smell of water didn't appear when we first entered the ship; it only appeared later!
In other words, during the time between his departure from the ship and the police blocking the dock to arrest the criminal, someone came to the ship and... went into hiding!

This discovery delighted Ringo.

It had to be him! Any cat or dog, even a well-trained police dog, couldn't analyze this much. Police dogs might smell water, but they wouldn't understand the connection between water and a criminal suspect. Even the most capable police dogs only act on their trainer's commands; scents other than regular smells aren't part of their analytical process or mission objectives. But… this kind of thing couldn't be hidden from Lin Ge!

Under the watchful eyes of Nie Guoqiang and Zhang Yong, Lin Ge once again jumped onto the drug-carrying boat, baring his teeth and glaring menacingly at the cabin with his forelimbs.

"Ok?"

Nie Guoqiang reacted instantly, pointing at the boat and asking Zhang Yong, "Has this boat been inspected? Whose boat is it?"

"Registered under the name of a breeding farm in the jurisdiction."

Zhang Yong quickly checked the ship's file on his phone, then awkwardly explained, "I originally planned to check all the ships here later, since we need to take the suspect away first. Anyway, as long as we don't leave, even if someone is hiding inside, we can just catch them like turtles in a jar, right? Hehe... But now that we have Mimi, things are much simpler. No matter how cunning this suspect is, he still can't escape the noses of our police station's cats!"

"You're just kidding!"

Nie Guoqiang glared at Zhang Yong, not having time to argue with him, and directly waved his hand to summon a squad over.

"Check this ship inside and out thoroughly, leave no stone unturned!" Nie Guoqiang gave the order without hesitation, then reminded, "Be careful, the suspect might try to take drastic measures. Everyone, bring your equipment and cooperate with the operation!"

"Yes!"

Several police officers did not hesitate to climb into the cabin.

Seeing that Lin Ge also wanted to go in, Nie Guoqiang quickly stopped him: "Mimi, you stay here, be careful not to do something desperate. Anyway, we've confirmed that the suspect is inside, we won't stop until we find him!"

Lingo flicked his tail.

To be honest, he really wanted to see Green Hair get arrested, and to see just how incredibly well this guy could hide. But Nie Guoqiang was right, he was just a cat. If Green Hair got desperate and acted rashly, his physique wouldn't be able to withstand many blows. And unlike the bearded man and Iron Head who were arrested before, they were caught off guard and had no chance to resist. But Green Hair, he had probably already made all the preparations…

"Not allowed to move!"

"Holy shit! Damn it..."

Sure enough, less than two minutes later, the sounds of a fierce fight erupted from the cabin. Along with the chaos came Zhao Zhigang's pitiful cries of pain. He quickly escaped the cabin in a disheveled state, his police uniform askew, his right arm torn and covered in blood.

"Chief, that bastard brought a knife!"

Zhao Zhigang, his hat nowhere to be found, grimaced and clutched his arm, angrily reporting to Nie Guoqiang.

"Go and stop the bleeding first."

Since the guy was genuinely injured, Nie Guoqiang decided not to hold his escape a crime. After all... to put it bluntly, letting this good-for-nothing get ambushed by a thug was more worthwhile than letting other police officers suffer the same fate.

"Grab him! Don't let him get away!"

"Hold him down! Hold him down! Take the knife away!"

"Take his hand away!"

The commotion inside the cabin continued, but Nie Guoqiang stood firmly on the dock, unmoved. He didn't believe that a mere thug could stand up to seven policemen, nor did he believe that six policemen working together couldn't even catch a single criminal.

Lin Ge, too, was straining his ears to listen to the commotion. Although he couldn't see it, the scene sounded just as thrilling as a blockbuster movie. Especially the muffled groans and gasps of breath that only he could hear made him imagine the situation inside the cabin to its fullest extent. Unfortunately, as time passed, the blond-haired man's curses and struggles weakened. A minute later, he was finally dragged out by several policemen.

All six people were covered in bruises and disarray, one of them even had bruises around his eyes.

Upon seeing Nie Guoqiang, the leader complained, "Chief, this bastard is wearing a sharkskin suit, so slippery! If Zhao Zhigang hadn't taken a knife for me, giving me a chance to take it away, I don't know how many brothers would have been hurt."

"Sharkskin? Brilliant!"

Nie Guoqiang was slightly taken aback, not expecting to find such a good thing in an inland city. Unfortunately, with the combined efforts of several policemen, the sharkskin jacket on Green Hair was already tattered and looked like beggar's clothes on him.

No matter how slippery this thing is, it can't withstand the iron fist of the police.

By the way, Green Hair has already been knocked unconscious by some policeman, who knows which one.
