Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 400 The Curtain Falls (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The red brick, imbued with all of Qian Wei's anger and hatred, hurtled towards the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was caught off guard and never expected that a policeman would dare to make a move. He only had time to turn his head to the side before the bricks grazed his cheek, flew a long way, hit the ground with a 'thud', and bounced away.

"Meow!"

Several cats that happened to be helping to stop the attack were so frightened that their fur stood on end, and they all stood up and roared loudly.

Qian Wei ignored this scene, clenching his fists fiercely and lunging at the middle-aged man again. He could clearly see that the middle-aged man's cheek, where he had been grazed, hadn't even bled; the man's face was covered in a layer of camouflage made of some unknown material!
"you wanna die!"

A fierce glint flashed in Ma Dongzhi's eyes. This was the first time in all his years on the run, or rather, in his years of wandering the underworld, that someone had discovered his weakness.

Seeing Qian Wei stride towards him, with those damned, annoying cats scurrying around, Ma Dongzhi loosened his grip on his bag, and a thin, sharp steel skewer slid down into his palm. The skewer was forty or fifty centimeters long, its surface smooth and sharpened to a silvery white. If this thing pierced a person, it would undoubtedly leave a large hole. Add to that the diagonal groove at its tip, and stopping the bleeding would be nearly impossible.

Even so, even seeing Ma Dongzhi holding a weapon, Qian Wei still didn't care! His eyes were bloodshot as he rushed towards Ma Dongzhi, not retreating an inch even as the steel spike was about to pierce him.

"Ow!"

Seeing the situation was bad, Lin Ge could only help Qian Wei rush forward. He was faster than Qian Wei and his attack angle was more tricky. Without hesitation, he knocked Ma Dongzhi's right hand away with his head and then used all four limbs to tightly grip his arm.

The weight of fifteen or sixteen pounds is a heavy burden for anyone caught off guard. Ma Dongzhi staggered, his body swayed, and the steel skewer missed its mark. Qian Wei then closed in and punched him hard in the face.

'puff! '

Lumps resembling flour or glutinous rice flew everywhere. Qian Wei punched Ma Dongzhi's face, leaving it cracked and looking grotesque.

Qian Wei followed up with another punch without any mercy, the heavy fist knocking Ma Dongzhi over, who took two steps back and sat down on the ground.

No matter how he tried to hide it, his age of sixty-one was undeniable. Young, vigorous, and burning with rage, Qian Wei relentlessly lunged forward, tackled Ma Dongzhi to the ground, and gripped his neck tightly with both hands.

"Go to hell!"

"Oh woo!"

Ma Dongzhi grunted and realized what was happening, desperately pushing Qian Wei away with both hands. Seeing that the policeman was determined to kill him, he twisted his right hand, which was still holding the steel skewer, and the short end of the skewer was plunged into Qian Wei's back again.

"Go to hell!"

Qian Wei ignored the pain in his back. His hands, veins bulging, gripped Ma Dongzhi's neck with such force that the bones rubbed together.

Ma Dongzhi's eyes rolled back, but he also became fierce. In the struggle, he raised the steel skewer again and then brought it down hard.

"Damn it! I almost died from this fall!"

Lin Ge scrambled to his feet, feeling dizzy, and shook his head, feeling like he was seeing stars.

The one who got thrown the hardest was actually this unlucky guy. He never expected that bastard Qian Wei would be so fierce, and as a result, he didn't have time to jump away and fell to the ground with Ma Dongzhi. Actually, this kind of thing would never have happened under normal circumstances, but who could blame him when Lin Ge grabbed Ma Dongzhi's right hand with all his might, leaving him no room to react at all? As a result, Ma Dongzhi was overturned by Qian Wei, and Lin Ge's head also hit the ground, his head still echoing.

Before Lin Ge could even lash out at Qian Wei, he turned around and witnessed this cruel and horrific scene. Qian Wei's back was covered in blood, as was Ma Dongzhi's right hand, their faces contorted in pain and their eyes bulging. The neck that Qian Wei was choking was almost snapped.

The two fought fiercely, tumbling and rolling around, which terrified a large group of cats nearby. Seeing that their leader had suffered a loss in this battle between humans, some of the timid ones immediately tucked their tails between their legs and scurried away with screams.

"Qian Wei!"

Unexpectedly, Qian Wei would take action directly, and even more unexpectedly, the two of them had created such a life-or-death situation in less than a minute. If they were a step slower, Zhang Ke and the others would quickly speed up and run over from the scurrying cats.

Seeing Mimi rush up to help Qian Wei, she slashed Ma Dongzhi's wrist with her claws, drawing blood. Zhang Ke pounced on Qian Wei from a distance and threw him down beside him. Without hesitation, he grabbed Ma Dongzhi's right hand and took control of the vicious weapon.

Once Lin Ge saw that the matter was resolved, he quickly jumped over Qian Wei's back, glanced down at the bloody mess at his feet, and then, without any further mercy, viciously clawed at Ma Dongzhi's left hand, who was tearing at Qian Wei's hair.

"Well!"

Ma Dongzhi glared and groaned as the damned cat's claws pierced deep into the nerves of his wrist. He felt excruciating pain in his entire arm and even began to spasm, but he quickly lost control of his left hand.

Even the ancients knew that the ten fingers are connected to the heart, and the feeling of nerve damage in the hand is extremely painful! Ma Dongzhi was in unbearable pain all over his body in an instant, so much so that when Zhang Ke forcibly took the steel skewer away, he didn't have time to resist.

"Fuck you!"

The sight of Qian Wei's mangled body enraged Hu Lijun, who followed behind. Without hesitation, Hu Lijun pulled out a stun gun from his waist.

You don't even need to aim; just pull the trigger.

In an instant, two indistinct darts were launched, accurately striking Ma Dongzhi's calf and thigh. The two darts were connected to the stun gun by wires, and the sudden surge of high voltage caused Ma Dongzhi, Qian Wei, and Zhang Ke to freeze simultaneously.

Zhang Ke was alright; his hair stood on end instantly, but he rolled away as soon as he saw Hu Lijun pull out his gun. Ma Dongzhi and Qian Wei, on the other hand, shuddered and went into shock, lying face to face on top of each other, unresponsive.

"Fuck!"

Lin Ge reacted even faster, having already jumped a meter or two away.

But for some reason, even though he hadn't touched those two bastards, the hair all over his body was standing straight up like needles, and his whole body seemed to have swelled up three or four times its original size.

"Could it be that the ground conducts electricity?"

Lin Ge glanced at the concrete ground with a puzzled look, then saw the two motionless figures, Zhang Ke who had gotten up and kicked the steel skewer aside, and the other police officers who had caught up with him.

The crowd hurriedly separated Qian Wei and Ma Dongzhi, and then completely subdued Ma Dongzhi.

Everything seemed to develop rather inexplicably. The criminal had just been discovered, and in the blink of an eye, he was subdued. It was like a very exciting action movie, only for the final, climactic moment when the boss had a heart attack and surrendered, completely destroying any tension or anticipation.

Of course, this is definitely a good thing for the police. If every murderer could be subdued so easily, the police's work would be much, much easier.

"Overall, if it weren't for Mimi's incredible discovery and tracking down of this guy, we don't know what unexpected situations we would have encountered if we had tried to arrest him!"

Comrade Mao Chui watched as Zhang Ke and Li Yiduo handcuffed Ma Dongzhi, and under the surveillance of the law enforcement recorder, tore off his wig and peeled away the messy coating on his face to reveal his true appearance. He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It must be admitted that the police cat Mimi deserves the vast majority of credit for the successful arrest of Ma Dongzhi.

The initial effective work was basically done by this cat and its feline army. The only thing the police station did was fire the final shot, and in doing so, they lost a rude and foolish idiot named Qian Wei.

"That's not quite right! If the Municipal Bureau hadn't controlled the main traffic routes and forced Ma Dongzhi to hide, Mimi wouldn't have had the chance to drag him out of his hole."

Nie Guoqiang became humble at this moment, and he and Zheng Mingxing switched roles and played the bad cop.

Lin Ge glared at the two guys speechlessly, not having time to argue with them. He quickly went to gather the scattered henchmen around him. His job was basically finished, and he was going to hold a victory celebration for his henchmen tomorrow. It wouldn't do for them to run away now.

Moreover, Lingo plans to feed them well so that they can perform their duties more often!
"Woo woo woo~"

As the police station reported the news, criminal investigators from the city bureau rushed over. They were all taken aback by the chaotic scene. Only Zhai Xiaojun knew about the Cat Legion, and he looked thoughtfully at Lin Ge in the distance.

An ambulance rushed to the scene and took Qian Wei, whose back was covered in blood, back to the hospital once again.

How long has it been since Qian Weicai was discharged from the hospital? I wonder if his last injury has even scabbed over yet, and this time he's got even more wounds.

"Congratulations!" Zhai Xiaojun approached Nie Guoqiang and Zheng Mingxing and shook hands with them in turn.

"There's nothing to congratulate us on. We just caught a damn bastard who should have been in hell ten years ago."

Nie Guoqiang shook his head expressionlessly.

"Tch! You think I was talking about this bastard?"

Zhai Xiaojun sneered and turned to look at the group of cats over there, saying, "I'm talking about Mimi! Her skills have gotten even better! Your Zhanghe Police Station was already like a tiger with wings with just one cat like her, and now that you have an entire army of them, aren't you about to take off?"

"No other cat is as smart as Mimi! This time it was just good luck, and of course, Mimi gave a good command. I hope she'll be this lucky next time."

Nie Guoqiang remained humble.

"A flock of sheep led by a lion is more powerful than a pride of lions led by a sheep! Do I really need to explain this to you? Nie Guoqiang, your modesty is a bit hypocritical."

Zhai Xiaojun pointed disdainfully at Nie Guoqiang with his finger, then exclaimed, "As long as these cats also possess a powerful sense of smell, they can achieve great things under Mimi's guidance. You have a mediator that can communicate between the police and the cats, which solves the worldwide problem of police dogs struggling to accept complex commands! With a cat like this, many cases become much simpler! Nie Guoqiang, remember to lend Mimi to our criminal investigation team sometime? To be honest, we have quite a few cases where the difficulties require such a magical cat to solve. As a member of the police system, you won't be a hindrance to the Zhangzhou police, will you?"

"Damn! What can I say after you've put it that way?"

Nie Guoqiang shook his head and smiled bitterly.

He and Zhai Xiaojun had known each other for a long time, which was why he could accept Zhai Xiaojun's various harsh words without showing any expression. But just by looking at Zheng Mingxing's ashen face, one could tell he was extremely dissatisfied with the Municipal Bureau's plan to abduct Mimi.

What happened to your leg? Is your old problem still not better?

Because Zheng Mingxing was present, Zhai Xiaojun couldn't say anything more. But seeing Nie Guoqiang's limping gait, he couldn't help but frown.

"I guess I'll never get better in this lifetime! So be it! Anyway, I'm gradually withdrawing from field work now, and it doesn't matter whether I have this leg or not since I'm staying in the rear."

Nie Guoqiang's nonchalant wave of his hand made Zhai Xiaojun sigh sadly.

This guy, does he really want to quit fieldwork? Everyone says that Qian Wei is obsessed with catching thieves, but isn't Nie Guoqiang just as obsessed with solving cases? It's just a pity that he is ultimately constrained by his health and age, and no matter how unwilling he is, he can only succumb to the facts.

Why did Nie Guoqiang go to such lengths to train that cat?
Because he felt that the Zhanghe Police Station needed someone capable of solving cases and winning tough battles! Whether it was a person or a cat, there had to be something that could quickly resolve cases occurring in the Zhanghe jurisdiction in order to maintain public order and the safety of the people. Did Nie Guoqiang really look down on everyone except that cat? Not at all! It's just that the Zhanghe Police Station simply couldn't afford to support a top-notch person, that's all.

People strive for higher positions, water flows downhill, only cats are content with their lot. This principle is understood not only by Nie Guoqiang, but also by Zhai Xiaojun.

So he would only borrow Mimi, not take the cat out of Zhanghe Police Station.

"What are we talking about Lao Tzu for?"

Lin Ge could hear Zhai Xiaojun, Nie Guoqiang, and Zheng Mingxing discussing him from afar. He also knew that the big fuss the Cat Legion had caused today was destined to make him the talk of the town in Zhangzhou's police system and even among the city's residents for some time. But none of that mattered. With Nie Guoqiang around, who could do anything to him? That's the advantage of the police system—everyone has to follow the rules! Without Lin Ge's approval, no one could take him away.

"Mimi, come with me to the Municipal Public Security Bureau for a few months, okay?"

Zhai Xiaojun's greeting was so outrageous that it made Zheng Mingxing's hair stand on end.

"No way! I wasn't born to be a workaholic. Nobody can make me work unless I want to! Besides, I've already worked so hard before and after the New Year. For the next few months, I'm not going anywhere and I'm just going to focus on gaining weight... no, losing weight!"

Lin Ge glared fiercely at Zhai Xiaojun.

"Look!"

Zhai Xiaojun shrugged at Nie Guoqiang, then shook his head and smiled at Zheng Mingxing.

The two people opposite immediately burst into laughter.

Only Lin Ge was completely bewildered. He had been busy greeting the cats and hadn't been paying attention to what was being said. Besides, the surrounding noise—sirens, ambulances, people taking photos, shouting, and making calls—was incredibly loud for Lin Ge and the other cats. But at least he had explained things to all the cats and ordered them not to leave tomorrow, at least until after the celebration feast.

"Meow?"

The mother hawksbill turtle followed with her head held high, secretly licking Lingo's fur as she went. Mainly, Lingo's current lion-like appearance was just too strange to her; she couldn't stand the sight of him.

Actually, Lin Ge was extremely annoyed, but there was no way to resolve the situation in the short term. He usually wouldn't let the female hawksbill turtle lick him, but for the sake of his flowing fur, he had no choice but to endure it.

The white cat watched with envy and couldn't resist sneaking over to lick him a couple of times. The mother hawksbill turtle initially tried to stop him, but after a few tries, she got impatient and focused intently on climbing onto Lingo and licking him.

Fortunately, Lingo was strong and large, otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to support the weight of the female hawksbill turtle.

"You dog with three wives and four concubines!"

Zhai Xiaojun glared at Lin Ge with disdain.

"none of your business!"

Lin Ge retorted without hesitation.

The man and the cat were locked in a tense standoff, their eyes practically sparking with tension. It wasn't until Zhang Yong, who held dual positions at the municipal bureau and the local police station, came to report the situation that Lin Ge finally let the bastard go.

"The scene has been cleaned up, and the investigation and evidence collection have been completed. Team Leader Zhai, Chief Nie, it's getting late, can we confirm that we're calling it a day?"

Zhang Yong's demeanor is much more composed than before, indicating that he has made considerable progress in the Municipal Public Security Bureau's Criminal Investigation Detachment during this period.

"Is Ma Dongzhi sure he's got it under control? I don't want any mishaps on the way back. Zhang Yong, if anything goes wrong, I bet Qian Wei would rather go to jail than not want to kill you."

Zhai Xiaojun chuckled and joked, then before Zhang Yong could reply, continued, "So, you're planning to go back to Zhanghe Police Station? Zhang Yong, why don't you just stay with my Second Squad? You've seen it yourself, the cases in my Second Squad are all really big-budget, way more exciting than the trivial matters at the police station. To be honest, you won't get anywhere staying at the police station. If you work with me for a few years, maybe you'll have a chance to take my place?"

Zheng Mingxing stood there dumbfounded. He hadn't expected Zhai Xiaojun to paint such a rosy picture for Zhang Yong. But he had to admit one thing: in terms of future prospects, going to the Municipal Public Security Bureau was undoubtedly much better than staying at the police station.

However, when faced with Zhai Xiaojun's temptation, neither Zhang Yong himself, nor Nie Guoqiang and Lin Ge, seemed to care at all.

Zhang Yong is a seasoned soldier; how could he be easily lured away?
As expected, Zhang Yong smiled and shook his head, declining Zhai Xiaojun's invitation.

He felt deeply regretful that he hadn't been able to contribute enough to Qian Wei's cause. With things somewhat unstable at home, how could he possibly continue to wander outside? Returning home as soon as possible was the right thing to do.

"Get out! From now on, you don't need to go back to my Criminal Investigation Division! I'll send someone to return your things that you left there tomorrow! Now get out, get out, get out, get back to your precious little police station!"

Zhai Xiaojun feigned impatience as he waved goodbye to the group. He then turned and went to his men to personally inspect the scene before getting into the police car.

The city police arrived and left quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the area returned to quiet, leaving only the officers from the Zhanghe Police Station.

"Meow?"

A cat drooped down from a tree not far away, watching in bewilderment as several foolish humans slapped and bumped into each other, emitting laughter that frightened the cat.

Even their leader was picked up and spun around by one of the humans, but the leader slapped him in the face, making him surrender and beg for mercy.

"Well done! Keep it up, boss!"

The cat was secretly encouraging Lingo.
