Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 211 Gift
Qian Wei found life much easier in Zhuzhou than in Zhangzhou.

After all, as an outsider transferred in, he didn't have any direct superiors to supervise him. The leaders of Zhuzhou City rarely interfered with him; at most, they just avoided seeing him to avoid getting annoyed.

Furthermore, although Qian Wei was disobedient, his interest in catching thieves was surprisingly strong. During his time in Zhuzhou, he had already "acted bravely" by catching several pickpockets and, incidentally, resolved several civil disputes in his capacity as a police officer.

Although, given his position and authority, these actions were inappropriate and constituted meddling in other people's business, who dares to say that Qian Wei was wrong?

Even faced with this guy's enthusiastic attitude of occupying the police station's interrogation room, catching thieves, handling cases, and solving crimes all by himself, no one could say anything unpleasant. They tried to subtly tell him to mind his own business, but Qian Wei just laughed it off; they were completely helpless against him.

When Qian Wei came to visit Sun Chang, he felt extremely uncomfortable after only sitting for a short while, and couldn't wait to slip out the door again.

Hospitals are generally considered to be hotspots for thieves and pickpockets.

The endless number of patients, coupled with ever-increasing medical costs, and the fact that some people still have the habit of paying in cash, and some even try every means to raise a sum of money for their seriously ill relatives, rushing over with the money.

As a result, the crowded hospital lobby and elevator areas became one of the most suitable places for thieves to strike.

Lin Ge stayed with Sun Chang for a while, and seeing that she had fallen asleep, he stopped disturbing her and led Luo Jue out.

He planned to stroll around the surrounding commercial streets and buy some small gifts for the children, the police officers at the police station, and even cats and lynxes.

When Nie Guoqiang left, he transferred 2,000 yuan to Luo Jue's phone as an activity fund, ostensibly to have Luo Jue pay for Lin Ge when needed. In other words, it was like paying Lin Ge's salary, and Lin Ge couldn't wait to become a spendthrift.

Just as they reached the first floor in the elevator, the person and the cat saw a commotion coming from the lobby. A group of people were gathered around something, and there were even people in hospital gowns holding IV drip bottles, persistently craning their necks to get inside.

Then, Qian Wei's voice came from the crowd.

"Run! Run again! You bastard, if I find you, you think you can still escape?"

"here you go!"

"Thieves deserve to die!"

The crowd began to jeer, and a stubborn voice could be faintly heard saying, "Why are you arresting me? I didn't do anything! What's wrong with the police? Does the police have the right to beat people at will?"

"Hehe...did I hit you?"

Qian Wei smiled slyly: "Everyone here saw it. You fell down while you were running away. No matter how badly you fell, who told you to run? Or rather, if you didn't do anything wrong, then why did you run? Huh? Why did you run!"

"Is it illegal for me to dislike the police and not want to deal with them?"

The unfortunate thief is still struggling in despair.

Little did he know that he had encountered a professional killer; Qian Wei had caught more thieves over the years than he had swatted mosquitoes.

Qian Wei didn't waste any more words. He simply began searching the thief without any hesitation. Soon, he found a wallet and a red paper-wrapped brick containing 10,000 yuan in cash in the pocket sewn into the lining of the man's coat.

"Huh? It looks like my wallet? Wait a minute... Holy crap, where's my wallet? Could it be mine? I didn't even know when it was stolen?"

Among the onlookers, a belatedly aware fellow screamed. This guy was truly bizarre; after spotting the thief, he didn't even bother to check his own pockets. Instead, he just watched the spectacle with great amusement.

If it weren't for Qian Wei, he would probably have suffered a great loss.

Lin Ge shook his head speechlessly, showing no interest in the chaotic situation and believing that Qian Wei could handle it on his own. He then left the hospital with Luo Jue.

They went out and found a shared electric bike. Luo Jue rode the bike while Lin Ge squatted in the front basket, squinting at the wind as they rode, and arrived at a Wanda shopping mall a little over a kilometer away, under the watchful eyes of passersby.

Gifts for rugged men are easy to choose; socks are the most suitable item for them.

If a police officer doesn't wear out two pairs of socks in a month, it only proves that he either sits in an office or drives a patrol car. Real police officers at local stations are always on the run, handling cases or in the process of solving them. Leaving aside WeChat step counts, the sheer wear and tear on socks is an issue that cannot be ignored. Rough-looking guys may have a casual lifestyle, wearing socks with torn soles or open toes. But they'd certainly be happy to have new socks.

Moreover, there's no need to pick the size. Lin Ge bought a hundred pairs wholesale, not particularly cheap ones, and gave the hotel address to the shop to help deliver them. That solved all the problems with gifts for them this time and even in the future.

Next, there are gifts for women and children.

The gifts for Zhang Yining and Hu Miao were easy to choose. While strolling on the third floor, Lin Ge unexpectedly stumbled upon a shop selling anime and manga items. Other things didn't matter, but the Madoka Magica bow and arrow and Homura's time shield were things the two children had wanted for a long time. The quality of these items online varied greatly, so finding them in a physical store was a pleasant surprise. After checking them and finding the quality to be good, Lin Ge bought them even though they were a bit pricey.

But in doing so, almost all of the two thousand yuan was spent.

Lin Ge was somewhat worried.

Luo Jue, carrying a pink floral bow taller than himself and a gaudy little round shield in his other hand, squatted down and said to Lin Ge, ignoring the stares of others, "As for money, I still have some here. Take whatever you want to buy."

Lin Ge was deeply moved and, after thinking it over, decided not to be stubborn. After all, money was a simple matter; he could easily ask Zhang Yong or Nie Guoqiang to repay Luo Jue. Besides, despite being a cat, Lin Ge's salary was actually quite good. Even with several useless cats on his side, he still had more than enough money.

Seeing that it was getting late and there were still several people who needed to buy gifts, Lin Ge decided not to waste any more time.

Continue shopping.

A Bumblebee Transformer, a rather large Ultraman figure (I don't know what it is), and a bilingual Sherlock Holmes Signature set—these were the gifts Ringo gave to the three boys.

Regardless of whether it's suitable or not, let them divide it themselves.

Boys can be a little rough around the edges, it's okay.

Then came several policewomen, including Li Siyu, Liu Yiyi, Yan Ziming, and Chu Ting.

"hiss……"

Originally, Lin Ge planned to buy each of them a set of cosmetics, but when he strolled down to the first floor and looked at the prices, he gasped.

Everyone says women and children's money is easy to earn, and sure enough, cosmetics are never cheap. Even a random set from an unfamiliar brand, supposedly from Korea or France, was ridiculously expensive, leaving Lin Ge speechless.

With his salary and benefits, he really couldn't afford that many apartments.

As for affordable...

Putting aside whether it's easy to use or not, just look at this kid and cat here—who can understand these things? Who would dare to buy it recklessly?
Lin Ge looked up at Luo Jue, who had an innocent look on her face, then turned around and walked out of the cosmetics section.

As he reached the edge, he suddenly saw a perfume counter. Thinking about how the occasional perfume scent on the women always made him uncomfortable, Lin Ge decided to pick out a small bottle of perfume that suited his taste for them.

Putting everything else aside, at least I'll sneeze less when I'm with Chu Ting in the future.

The sales clerk looked at Lin Ge with a conflicted and nervous expression, while secretly blocking the view of passing customers with her body. She watched helplessly as Lin Ge squatted on the counter with his head down, sniffing one bottle after another, searching for a scent that would satisfy him.

It's fortunate that she likes cats; otherwise, if it were any other salesperson, she would definitely have hit Lin Ge with a broom.

Lin Ge didn't stand on ceremony; after all, he wasn't a cat now, but a customer, right? After sniffing intently for a few minutes, until he was dizzy from the smell, Lin Ge finally picked out the various perfume scents for the women.

"puff!"

As he walked out, Lin Ge shook his head and sneezed.

He realized for the first time that smelling perfume could be so unpleasant. A mixture of strange scents lingered at the tip of his nose, strong and musky, refusing to dissipate for a long time, almost driving him to the brink of collapse.

It wasn't until Luo Jue suddenly realized what was happening and quickly ran to buy a pack of disinfectant wipes to clean Lin Ge's nose that he felt a little better.

Then it was Lin Jia's turn to give a gift, and Lin Ge had a slight headache again.

The child had everything she needed, and her parents treated her very well, so it was hard to think of a suitable gift. Continuing to wander around, even the waiters soliciting customers remembered the cat and the child carrying so many bags, but Lin Ge still hadn't found anything suitable.

Lin Ge even picked out a nice wool scarf for Liu Junshu and bought Qian Siqi a set of exam papers for all subjects, but Lin Jia's was still nowhere to be found.

No, not just Lin Jia, but also this child!

Lin Ge looked up at Luo Jue.

Luo Jue looked puzzled, not understanding what Cat Boss meant.

Just then, they passed by an arcade. Lin Ge walked on, looking around, when he suddenly didn't hear Luo Jue's footsteps. He turned around and saw the child staring intently at the various claw machines inside, his eyes full of curiosity.

"Oh! Right, Luo Jue has probably never been to a place like this before, right?"

Lin Ge's heart skipped a beat.
