Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 274 Elvis
The massive dog-beating campaign was only stopped when the dog owners couldn't stand it anymore and intervened.

Lin Ge stared longingly at the unfortunate dogs whining to their owners, then looked back at the large group of new recruits gathered behind him, feeling a surge of pride.

Before he could boast to Zhang Ke about his victory, a sticky chinchilla came over with a meow that was full of twists and turns.

It seemed to have a different status among these pet cats, and its slow, affectionate approach caused all the other cats to turn their heads in unison.

Everyone watched quietly as the Chinchilla approached Ringo, rubbing against him like a proud little princess, then tilting its head back, turning around, and wagging its tail.

Lin Ge stared dumbfounded at the cat's tail in front of him, then suddenly jumped out.

The Chinchilla, its face showing astonishment, was also startled, staring blankly as Lin Ge ran far away in an instant. It took it a while to understand what had happened; its small figure, now devoid of energy and color, looked utterly desolate...

Seeing Lingo flee, several female cats let out regretful meows.

Lin Ge, on the other hand, only regretted that he hadn't run fast enough.

"Why are you running away? That cat is so beautiful, much more valuable than your silver shaded cat whose pedigree I don't even know. When it has kittens, I'll have to ask its owner to give me two of them."

Zhang Ke mocked maliciously.

"What are you laughing at! If you're so capable, try saying that in front of Sun Chang and see if she associates it with you, this womanizing rich kid!"

Lin Ge glared fiercely at Zhang Ke.

"Alright, alright, that's enough! We've had our fun for half the day, and we still need to finish our work this afternoon, right? We are civil servants after all, and we can't just stand by and watch criminals get away with it. I'd feel uncomfortable if they had to stay out there for even one more day."

Seeing that Lin Ge was about to lose his temper, Zhang Ke quickly put on a serious expression.

Lin Ge glared at him unhappily.

But he wasn't wrong; now is definitely not the time to relax. Although the smart drug's route to Zhang City has been blocked, not a single one of the people behind it has been apprehended!

Although the Zhangzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau's high-profile operation yielded significant results, it did not cripple the criminal gang. They only needed to find another agent to smuggle contraband into Zhangzhou again, rendering the Criminal Investigation Brigade's operation futile.

Even behind this case, there are already more than a hundred innocent children victimized in Zhangzhou alone. Lin Ge doesn't know what the side effects of taking this drug will be, but there is no doubt that the number of victims cannot be allowed to continue to increase.

Compared to that, the fraud case in Zhang Ke's hands is really insignificant.

wrong!

"Aren't you a police auxiliary officer? Since when were you qualified to handle cases alone?"

Lin Ge glanced at Zhang Ke sideways.

"I'm with Zhao Zhigang!"

Zhang Ke didn't hide anything, and shook his head with a smile, saying, "He's a newcomer after all, and he still needs some help with his work. Letting him lead a new auxiliary police officer would be deliberately making things difficult for him. So I'm the only one who can join in and keep things stable for him for a while."

Lin Ge nodded, knowing that this must have been Zheng Mingxing's idea.

If it were Nie Guoqiang, he wouldn't care if Zhao Zhigang died!

If you're capable, do your job well; if you're not, you're fired! It's not that we didn't give you opportunities, it's just that you weren't competitive enough. Being a police officer isn't child's play; do you think you're given a perfect team to just deduce a few things and claim all the credit?

On the other hand, Lin Ge had to admit that Zhao Zhigang was incredibly lucky!

Although he was injured many times, almost every injury added to his credit. While most of his credits didn't warrant a reward, the accumulation of them made his position as secure as Mount Tai, forcing Nie Guoqiang to reluctantly acknowledge his status as a full-fledged employee.

If it were any other police officer, they would have received several second-class merit awards by now. It's just that Zhao Zhigang's other skills weren't up to par, so he had to stay at the police station and endure the scolding.

Lin Ge even felt that this guy wasn't really suited for the police station; he should have gone to the city's criminal investigation team to investigate! He could probably earn a first-class merit just by doing all that work, right?
"Pfft..."

Lin Ge laughed maliciously.

Zhang Ke turned to look at Lin Ge. Although he didn't know what the cat was laughing about, he was certain it was related to his current boss.

But when Zhang Ke thought of Zhao Zhigang, he could only shake his head helplessly.

Weird!
Back at the Zhangzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau, Lin Ge immediately spotted Shao Yongkang pacing anxiously. He hadn't expected that the guy hadn't left and was still blocking the police dog unit! However, everyone else was used to his unruly behavior, so they ignored him as he wandered around.

"You arrested so many people the day before yesterday, why aren't you helping with the interrogation? What are you doing here making a fuss?"

Lin Ge jumped out of the car speechlessly.

"My little darling, you're finally back!"

When Shao Yongkang saw Lin Ge, his eyes lit up and he quickly came over and said, "Hurry up, put on your police uniform, let's move now! The timing is perfect during lunchtime, when most people in the logistics park are resting, so we can catch them all in one fell swoop."

Lin Ge turned to look at the other side. The police dogs in the cages had basically finished checking everything, and Huang Qi was giving the last dog, Guai Guai, a massage.

Seeing that Ling Ge was looking over, he turned back and made a gesture that it would be done soon.

Well, what else can I say?

Seeing that Zhou Bo and the other two were already dressed in their police uniforms, smiling and ready to go, with Li Mei beside him also looking at him with a gentle smile, Lin Ge could only lower his head and sigh.

"Ow!"

With a loud shout, "Police Dog Squadron, assemble!"
"Wang!"

Excited, Beibei was the first to rush over, wagging its tail and crouching down in front of Ringo. Compared to the other six dogs, it participated in Ringo's operations more often and understood his style of doing things better.

"Wang Wang!"

The other five police dogs also broke free from their handlers and ran over to squat down. Only Guai Guai, who was being held down by Huang Qi, struggled desperately, but inexplicably could not escape Huang Qi's one-handed control.

The poor little monster was so anxious that it thought it was going to be abandoned, and even its ears drooped down.

"All right!"

Huang Qi patted the strange guy's butt, and the guy immediately jumped up, bumping into Zhou Bo and making him stumble, before obediently squatting down on the far left of the line.

"These are the men I have! What good are a bunch of pet cats?!"

Looking at the dogs that had inexplicably become much more energetic after being tormented by Huang Qi, Lin Ge felt a sense of satisfaction.

Compared to them, those pampered cats from before are nothing, right?

Ah!
That's right!

Lin Ge convinced himself of his escape that morning.

Behind Lin Ge, Shao Yongkang watched this scene in disbelief. The police dogs seemed to be able to speak, standing in front of Mimi more orderly than his own lazy and unruly subordinates, and their spirits were a hundred times higher.

"Awesome!"

He glanced at Lin Ge and then at Huang Qi, and a plan secretly formed in his mind.

Seeing Lin Ge turn around, Shao Yongkang gave him a thumbs up and said, "You're quite capable! Don't ride in your beat-up pickup truck later, I'll give you an Iveco. Don't let its ten-year age fool you, it still runs fine, the air conditioning is great for both cooling and heating. And most importantly, it's spacious! It breaks my heart to see you all crammed into that pickup truck, exposed to the wind and rain! How about this, I won't ask for anything from you, but next time there's a mission, you'll get priority in my team?"

Shao Yongkang's scheme was shrewd and calculating; he was using a public vehicle to take advantage of a private individual, and even a dog could see through his intentions.

but……

Zhou Bo and his two companions turned to look at Li Mei. Not only the dogs, but even they themselves were tempted by Shao Yongkang's offer. Even the stubborn Yuan Qu couldn't resist the allure of an Iveco van with air conditioning.

Li Mei lowered her head and sighed. The police dog squad really needed a vehicle with a canopy like this. Winter was coming soon, and she couldn't bear to see the police dogs sitting in the back of the pickup truck in the wind like before. She looked at Lin Ge, who impatiently turned his head away.

Why are you looking at him? He's not a staff member of the municipal bureau. Once this case is over, he'll definitely be going back to the Zhanghe Police Station. Even if you force him to stay or even promote him, there's absolutely no way he'll stay.

"Then I'll have to trouble Captain Shao."

Li Mei eventually gave in.

After all, no matter how much they are pampered, the police dog squad still has to work. These dogs are not Li Mei's personal pets.

A rickety, old Iveco van, its history of ownership unknown, slowly drove into the police dog unit's yard. The driver was a policeman in his fifties; the moment he saw Shao Yongkang, his seemingly honest smile vanished, replaced by a sinister grin.

"This is Old Chen, Officer Chen Aiguo. Captain Li should recognize him. He's a meritorious policeman in our First Squadron, having received three Second-Class Merits! His son is also working in our First Squadron now, named Chen Liang. You should have seen him the day before yesterday."

Shao Yongkang introduced the driver to the police dog squad members and the cats and dogs, then grinned and said, "Seeing that your squad is short-staffed, how about I give you an extra driver? Don't underestimate Old Chen just because he's old; he used to be a crack catcher. It's just that he's only a few years away from retirement, and he refuses to retire to the logistics department. I can't bear to let him train with a bunch of strong young men and embarrass him in front of his son."

So… Captain Li, could you help me out? His salary and benefits will still be handled by my squadron, but he can stay with your police dog squadron and help out. Driving around and arresting someone is a piece of cake for him.”

"Hehe... Captain Li, please take good care of me in the future."

Chen Aiguo got out of the car, pushed the old Iveco door shut with force, and then said to Li Mei, Zhou Bo and the other two with a simple and honest expression, "Captain Shao thinks I'm too old, but even an old horse can still eat three buckets of rice and still be able to run fast. How can I admit defeat? As long as you don't mind, I'll take over the driving job."

Hehe... I can fix cars too, so don't bother. Just count me in when you need help in the future, don't really treat me like an old man."

Looking at this seemingly honest yet cunning old man, Li Mei and the other three could only nod dumbly. What could they possibly say to Chen Aiguo?
As for Shao Yongkang's intentions, they were even more malicious and blatant. He even appointed the drivers for the police dog unit; wouldn't he then have complete control over where the unit went to work?
Of course, this incident didn't do any harm to the police dog squadron either.

Shao Yongkang wasn't completely shameless.

Having achieved his goal, Shao Yongkang didn't linger. He had plenty of other things to do; once he'd settled things with the police dog squad, he'd immediately turn his back on them. He told Chen Aiguo to quickly take the cats and dogs to the logistics park, while he returned to the First Squadron to urge his men to set off immediately.

After half an hour.

Who would have thought that just two days ago we witnessed such a grand spectacle? The buzz on social media hadn't even died down when the logistics park was once again sealed off by the police.

The park's leaders were extremely anxious, and even the director of the nearby community and cadres from the district committee rushed over upon hearing the news.

Seeing the group of burly men brazenly sealing off the park's main entrance, the group wanted to stop them but lacked the courage. However, the millions of yuan in rent the park paid to its superiors annually were no joke, so the representative they elected had no choice but to steel himself and approach Shao Yongkang.

"Captain Shao, what's going on this time?"

The cadre sent by the district committee was somewhat familiar with Shao Yongkang, and he stepped forward with a helpless expression to inquire.

"Heh... What do you think it would be that requires my intervention?"

Shao Yongkang sneered, looked around arrogantly, and said, "Or are you planning to protect the suspect and act as a shield for certain people?"

"..."

These words sent chills down everyone's spines, and no one dared to utter another word. It's just a casual greeting, right? Right? It's not worth taking such a big risk, really not!
"Ha ha……"

The deputy director of Yangdian New District Police Station sneered behind Shao Yongkang.

If these guys had the same attitude when he led the law enforcement, the police station would have a much easier time. To be honest, the police station sounds impressive, but it's actually a miserable department.

Not to mention the numerous grandfathers he has, the position of police station chief is actually not even as prestigious as that of squad leader Shao Yongkang.

His position as deputy director is utterly worthless.

Shao Yongkang dared to make these threatening remarks, but no one else, including himself, would dare to.

However, with Shao Yongkang standing in front, nothing else went wrong after that.

Even when the workers in the park discovered that the entrances and exits were blocked and a large number of police officers were preparing, they only dared to observe from a distance or make phone calls. After being reprimanded by the police, they obediently returned to their companies, trembling with fear.

As you all know, those people arrested the day before yesterday were all arrested in the name of organized crime!
Damn, once a case involves a gang, its nature changes drastically. Gang crimes almost always involve more harsh punishments during sentencing. And this time, did the police return because they felt they didn't have enough people at the firing range for testing?
"Ok?"

Lin Ge suddenly felt a gaze upon him, but when he looked up, he saw nothing. As the commotion spread outside the park, more and more curious, bored people gathered around. However, everyone remained outside the cordon, and no one dared to be so reckless as to be spotted yet.

Especially when they saw Shao Yongkang's men organizing their equipment, including riot shields, stun guns, and stab-proof vests, they were even more hesitant to approach, regardless of its quality.

However, there will always be people taking pictures from afar, and I wonder if their social media feeds are always this lively.

Shao Yongkang sent people to stop them, but they just stepped back and refused to take the phone. Seeing this, Shao Yongkang got used to it and simply sent someone to prevent them from getting close or sneaking into the factory area, so he could avoid seeing them and not bothering them.

Soon the team was lined up neatly. There were more than 20 vehicles and 70 or 80 people, including criminal police officers and auxiliary police officers. The team was still quite large.

During the last raid, Shao Yongkang only brought about twenty men, leaving all logistics and other matters to the Yangdian New District Police Station, which resulted in a disaster. This time, he learned from his mistake and brought only his own men from the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

The police dog squadron also split into four teams according to Lin Ge's orders. Qi Qiguai followed Zhou Bo, Ying Yingxiong followed Yuan Qu, An Anjing followed Yu Rong, and Bei Bei followed Lin Ge, each standing at the front of the four assault teams of the first squadron.

"Hmph! Showy!"

As expected, Chen Aiguo saw his son. He was in good spirits and had a proper posture, but Chen Aiguo still grunted in dissatisfaction at the son's unfocused eyes.

As a veteran police officer, he utterly disapproved of the young people's behavior. Don't be fooled by their impressive facade; when it comes to real fighting, their willpower and fearlessness might not be a match for these old fogies.

"Ok?"

Suddenly sensing a gaze upon him, Chen Aiguo reflexively looked into the factory area. He didn't find anything unusual at first, but the old man's experience told him that there were definitely goods here, and quite a lot of them.

The thought of his son about to go in filled him with worry.

"set off!"

With a wave of his hand, Shao Yongkang led the way into the logistics park. The first stop was the furniture factory to the right of the entrance. You guys saw how lively it was next door the other day, right? Hopefully, you won't become the liveliness yourselves this time.

"Mimi, go inside and sniff!"

Shao Yongkang gestured for the furniture factory manager to come and serve him, and with a wave of his hand, ordered Lin Ge to take action.

"Smell my ass!"

The strong smell of paint, formaldehyde, and glue made Lin Ge frown. The countless wooden boards, wood blocks, and semi-finished products in the factory, as well as the fine iron nails, yellow wood chips, and sticky glue scattered on the ground, made him hesitate to go in.

If this stuff gets on your fur, is it impossible to get rid of it unless you shave the fur?
This furniture factory seemed to be an online business; a large number of packaged boxes were piled up in the warehouse next door. A few workers, taking a break from their work, were sneaking peeks over at the scene. A few cigarette butts were lying under the seat of a forklift, making Lin Ge's eyebrows twitch.

"You dare to smoke here?"

Shao Yongkang also saw the cigarette butts, and his questioning made the furniture factory owner break out in a cold sweat. He glared fiercely at the workers, then looked back at Shao Yongkang without explaining, only bowing humbly and grinning foolishly.

"Even in the era of online sales, it's still at the level of a small workshop."

Shao Yongkang sighed, waved his hand at the boss, and said, "I'm not from the fire department, this isn't my responsibility. But don't get too excited, the fire department will be here soon. If this place catches fire, it'll spread like wildfire, and nobody will escape. But let's not worry about that now, answer my question! Do you have anything to say? If you don't talk and I find out, it won't just be a matter of a few days in jail, you understand that, right?"

"No! We are all honest and law-abiding people, working hard to earn a meager living! We never do anything illegal!"

The furniture store owner shook his head decisively, showing great resolve.

Shao Yongkang smiled, unsure whether he believed it or not.

His men have begun inspecting the entire workshop, even the packaged items, ordering the workers to unpack them and check their contents one by one.

This sight made the boss wince in distress.
