Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 204 They're all his underlings
"Wang!"

"Wang Wang!"

More and more police dogs were called back by Ringo's roars, while their handlers, panting from running all the way, stood nearby.

Seeing so many police officers gathered there, everyone's eyes lit up. But when they heard that the clue was found by the same cat again, they all showed expressions of frustration and even disappointment.

"What happened?"

Sun Chang and the dog training captain returned rather late, mainly because the location they went to wasn't far as the crow flies, but they had taken quite a roundabout route. When the two of them ran over, the case discussion was nearing its end, and the person in charge was politely inviting Pei Qian to go back to the municipal bureau for a chat.

"I have such a sharp tongue! If only I had known... if only I had known..."

Pei Qian slapped himself hard across the face, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at Lin Ge. He was now filled with regret for joining the bandwagon and eating cats back in Guangdong Province. Now, look what happened—he'd been approached by someone else's vengeful messenger.

Lin Ge glanced at the guy and was surprised that he was reflecting on something related to cats, rather than his past criminal experience of selling counterfeit money.

Knowing you're wrong but refusing to correct it?

This kind of person deserves to be disciplined for a few years!

Lin Ge then looked at Pei Qian's wife, who was once again unable to suppress her emotions. While feeling sympathy for her, he was also somewhat angry at her lack of self-control.

She clearly knew that her husband had committed crimes in the past, and it was even evident from their previous conversations that Pei Qian had probably done quite a few in recent years.

However, Lin Ge wasn't sure what this woman's true feelings were. But one thing was certain: she didn't stop it; in fact, she seemed to welcome it. This is why Pei Qian became so deeply involved.

These days, you can do anything but break the law. Why doesn't this woman understand that?

The couple brought this upon themselves.

The only pity is probably the innocent child in her womb. Before even being born, it has already lost so much of its bright future.

Putting the matter of the two men aside for the time being, Lin Ge saw that most of his underlings had returned, so he stopped paying attention to the police officers and squeezed past them with a shout, leaving the counterfeit money for them to deal with at their leisure.

His movements startled the police officers, but when they saw that the cat was only heading towards the police dog unit, they refocused their attention on the counterfeit money and the identification of the customer who had recently come in for car repairs.

Now that things have come to this point, things become much simpler.

Even if Pei Qian and his wife didn't know who the counterfeit money belonged to, they should at least have a sense of how many people had come to repair their cars recently. At worst, they could patiently search for each person one by one and eventually get a satisfactory result.

Unfortunately, Lingo still didn't intend to go through all that trouble.

Moreover, these guys don't respect him enough, they don't trust him like the police officers at Zhanghe Police Station do and let him do whatever he wants. Since that's the case, then I might as well steal all the credit and let them truly see what a police cat can do.

To be honest, Lin Ge himself has relaxed now that things have come to this point.

He's a professional at finding people.

"Ow!"

With a shout, Lin Ge swiftly and decisively summoned all the police dogs once again.

There were a dozen or so instructors nearby who were in the way, but these guys had already suffered at Lin Ge's hands several times, and now they were surprisingly well-behaved and obedient. So Lin Ge reluctantly accepted their status as his underlings and decided to take them along.

Butchers? How many could there be around?

Lin Ge had barely arrived in Bailing Village when he smelled the stench of pigs and knew that there was a sizable pig farm not far away.

Even if we don't say the suspect is definitely in the pig farm, the pig farm suppresses the surrounding individual pig farmers. Whether the suspect is raising pigs, slaughtering pigs, or selling meat, he will definitely have contact with the pig farm and will definitely leave more traces there.

So Lin Ge didn't delay. This time, he didn't divide into teams and led a group of police dogs straight out of Bailing Village, heading quickly towards the pig farm.

"Where is this going?"

This time, the training captain didn't hesitate and was the first to follow. Although he didn't know where the cat was taking them, he was determined not to be separated from his beloved dog this time.

The other trainers didn't fall behind either, running after the cat and dog team, ignoring the questions from their colleagues behind them.

To be honest, as police dog handlers, these people don't have many opportunities to earn merit.

After all, police dogs aren't commonly needed for most cases, and even when they are, they don't necessarily receive any recognition or awards. Finding a clue or piece of evidence is a contribution, but rarely a major achievement. Scenes requiring police dogs to fight or even arrest criminals are extremely rare, occurring only a handful of times a year nationwide. Even in such cases, the dog is credited, but the dog handlers aren't the ones receiving the awards. Therefore, despite their special police position, handlers don't actually hold a high status within the police force. Those with higher status wouldn't be so foolish as to follow a cat around unknowingly, running out of the village without understanding anything.

"Where am I? It stinks!"

One of the trainers covered his nose, his chest even churning, feeling like he wanted to vomit.

The other handlers also showed signs of distress, and the police dogs were restless and helpless, undoubtedly because their excellent sense of smell had caused them even greater harm.

Even Lingo was tempted to give up and go back to playing it safe.

Because... it smells absolutely awful!
Those who haven't experienced the environment of a large-scale pig farm can't possibly imagine how terrifying the stench is.

In reality, few pig farms in China employ large-scale, mechanized, scientific, and pollution-free farming methods. Penning, consistent flushing, and centralized manure treatment are the limits of what most pig farms can achieve. And this collected manure is typically stored in septic tanks, not in the industrially processed, multi-step environmentally friendly manner depicted on television. Thus… giant septic tanks have emerged.

Exposed to the sun for extended periods, it gradually spreads its stench and pollution, causing immense damage to the surrounding air and land.

Lin Ge couldn't imagine how the workers at the pig farm could work in such an environment.

The stench, which even the police found unbearable, made him question his very existence as a cat.

But looking at the guys behind them, whether they were police dogs or their handlers, not one of them backed down.

Even though Lin Ge never told them what he was going to do or gave them any hints about what they were doing here, they still loyally followed behind him. There were zero deserters, and not even a single person complained or grumbled.

And then there was Sun Chang, a girl, who still insisted on following behind. Even knowing that there was excrement and urine ahead, she didn't utter a single complaint.

In this situation, it would be difficult for Lin Ge to get past his own conscience if he were the first to back down.

He simply held his breath, lowered his head, and quickened his pace.

The police dogs and their handlers also started jogging.

Sun Chang pursed his lips, covered his nose with his hand, and saw the huge, stinking latrine in the distance. His face was a little pale, but he still ran bravely without backing down a single step.

Soon, the group ran past the enormous cesspool, too horribly looking at it, without daring to glance in that direction.

After running another hundred meters or so, the air suddenly became fresher.

Just now, the stench was blowing towards us, but now the wind is turning into a mode that prevents the stench from spreading this way.

Lin Ge breathed a sigh of relief.

If it continued to stink like this, he would suffocate himself. He even thought of a gas mask, but it seemed that no cat could use one, so he decided to let these guys suffer with him.

After all, he's just a junior!

"Who goes there? Hey? Is this... a police officer?"

Upon arriving at the entrance of the pig farm, the old gatekeeper seemed quite accustomed to the smells inside. He was lounging in his deck chair, basking in the sun, until he was startled by a group of cats, dogs, and a policeman.

"This way, could it be..."

The instructors exchanged glances, already having guessed what was going on when they arrived.

Without hesitation, they used their police credentials to demand that the old man open the door and that the owner or manager of the pig farm be called out, preferably with all the employees gathered as soon as possible.

Seeing this, the old man knew something big must have happened.

Without hesitation, he quickly turned around and went to the guard post to make a phone call.

Soon, a middle-aged man reeking of pig stench rushed out of the steel-framed pig shed. He was followed by seven people—four men and three women—who were all the employees of the pig farm.

As they approached, a strong stench assaulted our senses.

But Lingo remained unmoved, his eyes fixed on one of the men, who was wearing an apron and rubber boots, and whose clothes and shoes were covered in grime.

This man with slightly long hair and a gloomy, introverted face had a scent very similar to that left on banknotes.
