Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 222 Dark History

Wei Laosi's backhand stab almost drove the discipline captain standing next to him crazy with anxiety.

The two men were almost touching, separated only by the snakeskin bag in Wei Laosi's hand.

In this situation, if they were to arrest someone, for the discipline captain, it would simply be a matter of stretching out his arm, pulling it back forcefully, and quickly pinning him to the ground.

but!

On the other side of Wei Laosi were two elderly women carrying grocery bags! If Wei Laosi resisted, taking the elderly women hostage would be just as easy as stretching his hand. In fact, the elderly women were even less able to resist, making it even simpler for him.

And if he were to take hostages...

The two elderly people chatted while waiting for the bus, occasionally checking their phones and discussing where to find cheap vegetables.

Since public transportation became free for seniors nationwide, it seems there are more and more elderly people spending their days idly riding the bus all over the city, buying cheap radishes in the east, discounted cabbage in the west, and evening market specials in the south. They seem to have plenty of time, yet little to do. They carry a shopping basket around every day, and since public transportation is free, they manage to live a life that is both fulfilling and frugal.

But at this point, their presence became a huge problem for the discipline captain and other plainclothes police officers.

"How to do?"

A colleague walked up to the criminal investigation police officer who was pretending to buy cigarettes.

The convenience store owner had no idea what these two burly thugs were dawdling about. Asking them to serve him for three to five minutes for just a pack of cigarettes was outrageous. Seeing that the loud-voiced man from the north was about to explode, the police officer who had accompanied him quickly went into the store, led the owner inside, showed his badge, and took him into custody.

The kind of people who obediently cooperate upon seeing a police officer's ID, as depicted in TV dramas, are ultimately only a minority.

No police officer would dare allow the public to act out a scene, and reality isn't like filming where there are no retakes. Once the public's curiosity gets the better of them, and they even try to add their own scenes, the suspect will inevitably realize that the consequences will only get worse.

Therefore, when faced with vicious criminals, the police will not and cannot trust non-professionals; they prefer to keep the situation under their control.

Seeing that the convenience store owner was no longer in the way, the criminal investigation captain continued to pretend to be impatient while waiting, tapping lightly on the counter and taking the opportunity to glance outside.

He saw a cat.

Lin Ge also found the situation somewhat tedious; the plainclothes officers who were slowly gathering around were starting to feel restless. The only problem right now was the two old women, but if things dragged on, even more people would get on and off the bus when it arrived.

In other words, all that's needed is to deal with these two old ladies, right?
And coincidentally, Lin Ge smelled a scent of his own kind on one of the old ladies. There were even a few cat hairs stuck to her clothes, clearly indicating that she was someone who often cuddled cats and ate and slept with them.

To deal with this kind of character, only Lingo can handle it.

Lin Ge strolled over slowly, and before the police could stop him, he stood a short distance away from the two old women, looked up at them, and meowed.

"Ok?"

Surprisingly, it was Wei Laosi who noticed it first.

Although Wei Laosi was puzzled as to why the cat had followed them again, it was just a cat. Moreover, the cat was rolling around on the ground and acting cute towards the two old ladies, so he didn't take this silly animal seriously.

Cats? They're all crazy!

Wei Laosi sneered inwardly.

Lin Ge felt utterly ashamed and indignant.

For the first time in my life! I rolled around on the ground! For the first time, I showed my belly, curled up my paws, and tried to please someone! I even made a sticky, creepy meow!

What the hell!

This feeling in public makes me want to commit suicide!

"Meow?"

Seeing that one of the old ladies was already interested, Lin Ge suppressed his shame and indignation, turned over and squatted down, then continued to sing in a cute voice.

"Wow! Whose cat is this? It's so cute!"

The old lady was finally captivated by Lingo. Seeing that the cat had a fine coat and a good build, and was clean enough not to be a stray, she couldn't help but fall in love with it. Especially the way the cat acted affectionately; it completely melted the old lady's heart.

"What, are you going to take it home and raise it?"

Although his companion didn't own a cat, he also liked Ling Ge's cuteness and curiously came over.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Can't you see it's wearing a collar? This is an owner's pet cat, but I don't know if it's lost. Omega, are you hungry? Do you want some fish?"

Seeing Lin Ge take two steps back, the old lady followed while chatting with her companion. She took out a small, dried fish about the length of a finger from the bag, bent down slightly, and handed the dried fish to Lin Ge.

Lin Ge had resigned himself to his fate and could only continue acting. He leaned over and sniffed the dried fish, then took two steps back when the old lady stretched out her hand, forcing her to follow with an expectant smile, and gradually being lured out of the bus stop.

Another elderly woman, though not feeding the cat herself, seemed to enjoy the scene. She even slung the bag over her elbow, turned on her phone, and went to the side to film the interaction between the cat and the elderly woman.

Hmm, judging from the practiced movements, this person must be someone who likes to use Douyin (TikTok).

In short, everything happened in less than two minutes. All the innocent bystanders around Wei Laosi were drawn to Lin Ge. Even Wei Laosi himself was tempted to go and take a look.

When cats act cute, their allure to humans is undeniable.

"Do it!"

Seeing this, the criminal investigation police knew they couldn't wait any longer.

A bus was slowly approaching in the distance, and Mimi's time to stall was about to run out. "Police! Don't move!"

The discipline captain suddenly roared and grabbed Wei Laosi's shoulders with both hands. At the same time, he wrapped his right arm around Wei Laosi's neck and tried to pull him into his arms.

The reason for not exerting force outwards is to avoid hurting innocent people nearby.

At the same time, several other plainclothes officers nearby also rushed towards them, shouting loudly. The shouting was a warning, and the charging was an act of force; the main purpose was to tell bystanders not to get in the way and to make the suspect surrender as soon as he saw this.

Wei Laosi was stunned for only a second.

He was engrossed in watching the cats' antics when a roar suddenly deafened him. The sudden force on his neck nearly made him lose his balance, and the head of the training captain pressed his chest against his clothes, causing a painful chafing sensation.

But in that instant, he quickly regained his senses.

He had imagined this scene countless times in his mind, his heart pounding with fear. But none of the countermeasures he had devised were of any use. All Wei Laosi had time to do was tilt his head back to give himself a little more room to move.

He even regretted it in his heart. If he had a knife in his hand right now, wouldn't this stupid policeman's posture be exactly like walking into the blade?
However, he did not have a knife.

At such close range, a snakeskin bag cannot be used as a meteor hammer.

When I was bored, I would read about things like key-tiger-finger, kicking, and gouging in a booklet, but now my mind is completely blank and I can't do any of them.

Then, in the next second, the world spun around!

"Serves you right for looking down on dogs!"

With a roar, the training captain delivered a powerful over-the-shoulder throw, slamming Wei Laosi to the ground. At that moment, he finally felt like a professional police officer with combat skills, rather than a dog owner who could only run and jump around with his dog all day.

"Did this guy insult dogs? No wonder Old Xu is so angry."

The police officers who followed completely subdued Wei Laosi, and glanced suspiciously at the discipline captain who was pressing down on Wei Laosi's head and was still breathing slightly.

Only the few handlers who also stepped forward to help knew the feelings of the training captain, and knew how stifled he felt as a police dog handler, even though he also had the identity of a police officer.

Why was Chen Song so determined to arrest Jiang?

Because he didn't want to be just a dog owner, or just give orders to police dogs. He was a policeman who had passed the police academy entrance exam with honors, and even if he was willing to accept the task of being a handler, it didn't mean that he didn't have a burning desire to personally arrest criminals.

Wei Laosi was completely devastated.

He was, after all, just a tomb raider, not a member of a violent criminal gang. To be honest, while they might be more technically skilled, in terms of courage and audacity, they weren't even as good as those who simply break into homes to steal.

After being pinned to the ground, Wei Laosi assessed the situation and shouted, "I surrender!" before quickly giving up resistance.

Police found a pair of pliers, a folded brand-new car inner tube, a small bundle of wire, and some plastic pipes in the snakeskin bag he was carrying. They didn't know how he planned to use these things to escape.

At the same time, the fake documents he had hidden in his clothes were also discovered.

Surprisingly, it turned out to be a complete disability certificate. It had a forged name, proof of blindness and hearing impairment, and even a freshly engraved, uneven seal of the Zhuzhou Disabled Persons' Federation, making it virtually indistinguishable from a genuine document.

The print shop owner, who had been casually dragged out of the shop, looked at Wei Laosi, who was disheveled and handcuffed, with a deathly pale face. He felt a sudden urge to kill him.

What the hell do you mean by bringing the police here to get fake documents?
If I had known you were being followed by police, if I had known you would be arrested the moment you stepped out the door, I wouldn't have bothered with all this trouble! If I had known, I wouldn't have tried to take advantage of you and would have just refused you outright. Now I could be watching the show from the sidelines instead of being the one being watched!
The whispers and pointing fingers from neighbors and shop owners next door left the print shop owner feeling utterly devastated.

"Wow! You startled me!"

Startled by the sudden arrest, the two elderly women didn't even bother to catch the bus that had arrived at their stop. They huddled together watching the man who had been standing next to them being arrested by plainclothes police officers, both feeling a sense of relief and excitement at having survived a close call.

What if... my old arms and legs...

"It's all thanks to that cat! If it hadn't led us away, would we have been dragged into this?"

The elderly woman who owned a cat was overjoyed, but when she turned back to look for Lin Ge, he was nowhere to be seen. She only saw a child walking further and further away, and it seemed a…cat tail was peeking out from his arms?

It really was the cat that saved me!
The old lady decided to treat her wealthy husband better when she got home, and also get some food for the stray cats downstairs. Oh dear, they're so pitiful! You have to be nice to the cats; they'll repay your kindness!
"How about I get a cat too..."

Another elderly woman who didn't own a cat also began to hesitate. It wasn't out of gratitude for being saved by the cat, but because she felt that the cat's... affectionate way of acting was just too irresistible! That little face, that little voice, really made her heart itch.

Okay, I'll call my son tomorrow and ask him to buy it!

Lin Ge suddenly shuddered.

I don't know why I suddenly felt a little cold, as if some eerie laughter was swirling around my ears.

But Lin Ge couldn't care less about that right now; all he wanted was to slip away as quickly as possible and leave this place filled with his dark history.

Even now, Lin Ge is still somewhat bewildered, wondering what he was thinking at the time, why he impulsively ran out and even acted coquettishly towards the two old ladies.

Could he really have come up with such stupid actions and silly cries?
"Holy crap! I can't think about it anymore, forget it, forget it!"

Lin Ge held his head and shook it frantically in Luo Jue's arms.

"Mimi, you looked so cute just now. I recorded it all, do you want to see it?"

Luo Jue suddenly spoke.
