Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 471 Dog King
When a police system leader presented red flowers and medals to the three winning police dogs and their handlers, and awarded them certificates of honor, Lin Ge saw that Sun Chang and Yu Rong were so excited that they could hardly contain themselves.

On the contrary, Beibei, that silly girl, was not used to the big red flower hanging around her neck and tried desperately to kick it off.

Sun Chang secretly kicked it a few times, and the guy finally calmed down temporarily. But seeing its eyes darting around, eager to get its hands on the big red flower around its neck, Lin Ge knew that this guy would never really behave.

This is also a clear difference between police dogs and military dogs. Aside from differences in ability, police dogs, at least in terms of absolute obedience, cannot match the unwavering discipline of military dogs. Of course, due to the different tasks and focuses of their duties, police dog handlers don't need to force their dogs to be completely obedient. For example, when Sun Chang kicked Bei Bei several times on the podium, the comrades below just laughed and didn't see anything wrong with it.

Of course, if the kicks were really hard, the dog trainers who love dogs would definitely have something to say. But as things stand, it's just a minor, harmless incident.

However, Lin Ge was somewhat surprised to realize that the police dog Hadogen, who was a strong contender for the championship, had not placed in the mountain tracking event.

If I remember correctly, it won first place in this project last year, right? What happened this year?

Lin Ge craned his neck through the crowd and quickly spotted Geng Yuxiang, whose face was grim, and Hado, who was squatting there expressionless and motionless. Geng Yuxiang's colleague behind him seemed to be questioning something, but Geng Yuxiang retorted without turning around. Then, this guy wasn't as unreasonable as Lin Ge had expected; he quickly took a deep breath, composed himself, and applauded enthusiastically as the three award-winning instructors left the stage.

"This guy doesn't seem so bad after all."

Lin Ge muttered to himself, quietly watching the awards ceremony proceed one after another. The awards ceremony progressed quickly, and Geng Yuxiang subsequently earned the opportunity to go on stage in three categories: drug detection, public security and riot control, and bloodstain tracking. He won one first place and two third places, which was quite remarkable. In this respect, Hado, with its six specializations, truly deserved the title of Dog King. If it weren't for a slight rustiness in its coordination with Geng Yuxiang, it could have won even more.

The last sentence was spoken by Fan Qingzhi, who was sitting next to him. She seemed to know Geng Yuxiang and Haduo very well.

To Lin Ge's surprise, while Hado won first place in the drug detection category, Beibei also came in second! In other words, besides Hado, it was one of the few contestants in this competition to win two awards!

"I wonder who will win the Dog King title this year? The six awards ceremony is over, and Beibei only got one second place and one third place, while Hado got one first place and two third places. It seems that not many of the other police dogs have been on stage multiple times. Among the invited contestants from Southern Xinjiang Province and Southern Province, only Doufu won first place in bomb detection, along with a few others who came in second and third place. Hmm... if we take everything into account, it seems that Hado has the best chance of winning! Of course, Beibei might also have a chance..."

As Lin Ge watched the joys and sorrows of the audience below, his mind wandered.

As the host announced that the next awards to be presented were six all-around awards, everyone on and off the stage became tense and focused.

Who will be crowned the King of Dogs in Hubei Province this year? We'll find out now!

"The third place winner in the six-event all-around competition of the 7th Hubei Provincial Police Dog Competition is... Doufu, a police dog from the Zhuzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau Police Dog Squadron in Hunan Province, and its handler, Comrade Chen Song!"

The host's words stunned Lin Ge and caused the audience to whisper in surprise.

Lin Ge looked at Chen Song with curiosity, watching him stand up excitedly, take a deep breath, bow to the surroundings, and then smile as he led Doufu onto the stage.

"If Tofu only got first place in one event, how could it get third place in the hexagram? Does that mean it did quite well in the other events?"

Lin Ge guessed.

Then, the host's continued remarks confirmed Lin Ge's guess. Although Police Dog Tofu only won one first place, it also had two fourth places, one sixth place, and two eighth places, achieving a respectable total score and securing third place in the six-event all-around competition.

"Next up in second place is Hadogen, a police dog from the Chu City Public Security Bureau's Police Dog Unit, and its handler, Comrade Geng Yuxiang! And..."

At this point, the host surprisingly skipped reading out the details of Hadogen's six achievements and instead announced directly: "The first place winner is Beibei, a police dog from Zhanghe Police Station in Zhangzhou City, and its handler, Comrade Sun Chang! Although Beibei didn't win first place in any individual event in this hexagram competition, it achieved excellent results with one second place, one third place, two fourth places, and two fifth places, performing outstandingly in all six events. First place is well-deserved, let's congratulate it!"

'Pat pat pat~'

Excited applause erupted. Regardless of whether they were surprised by the result, everyone, as police officers and police dog handlers, was convinced that a police dog could achieve such a well-rounded record of excellence in all six areas.

The fact that Beibei, the special police dog, is handled by a woman makes her achievement all the more remarkable. Although she didn't win a single first place, she didn't fall below the top five in any of the six events – that's truly impressive!
The name "All-Around" was rightfully earned by police dog Beibei and her handler Sun Chang!
Even Geng Yuxiang, who regrettably came in second place, didn't hold back his smile. He looked at Sun Chang, who walked onto the stage with a slightly bewildered expression, and extended his hand, saying, "Congratulations, I accept my defeat wholeheartedly this time. However... next time I will bring Hado and continue to challenge you, and I will definitely reclaim the title of Dog King next year!"

Thank you, let's make progress together.

Sun Chang chuckled dryly, unsure whether Geng Yuxiang was provoking her or admitting defeat. She was still somewhat in a daze; suddenly winning first place felt so unreal!
"Wang!"

As a larger, bright red flower moved toward it, Beibei let out a desperate bark.

Then, just as it was about to run away, Sun Chang grabbed its ear with a vicious grin, determined not to let this stupid dog embarrass him on this important occasion.

"Ha ha……"

Beibei's pitiful appearance made Lin Ge burst into laughter. But as he laughed, Lin Ge had to admit that Sun Chang's six-event all-around championship was indeed very lucky!
The host, out of respect for Geng Yuxiang and former dog king Hadogen, did not announce his specific score. However, this score could not be kept secret from the audience on the stage, and amidst their discussions, Lin Ge quickly realized that Hadogen had made a huge mistake in cooperating with Geng Yuxiang in the evidence tracking project, not only failing to make it into the top ten in cumulative scores, but even falling out of the top twenty altogether.

Such results naturally did not make him a deserving Dog King. Therefore, no matter how unwilling the Chu City authorities were, they had no choice but to hand over the title of Dog King to someone else, which allowed Sun Chang and Bei Bei to get this great advantage.

Even considering that Hado was only four points ahead of Doufu, his performance this time was indeed not very good. Considering Sun Chang and Beibei's results, they didn't exactly have an advantage; their all-around performance was truly well-deserved.

"Indeed, the handler's role in police dog operations is more significant than imagined. If it were the previous handler, they probably would never have made any such basic mistakes, right?"

Lin Ge sighed inwardly.

However, regardless of the circumstances, Hador is an excellent police dog, that much is undeniable. One unexpected setback cannot overshadow its past achievements; in the battles to come, we will need to rely more on its abilities and experience.

Lin Ge had already assumed the role of leader of the police dog team, and every police dog below the stage was a subordinate he would be commanding. Since they were all subordinates, there was no need to make too many distinctions of kinship.

Following various speeches, reports, and oaths, the police dog competition was declared over half a day early.

However, to the surprise of many police dog handlers, the host told everyone not to leave Chu City prematurely. After the celebration banquet at noon, everyone was to gather in the large conference room at the training base in the afternoon, as the leaders had something to say to them.

Upon hearing this, Lin Ge knew that the main event was about to begin!
"Changchang, congratulations!"

Yu Rong smiled and put her arm around Sun Chang, not feeling jealous at all as Sun Chang held the three certificates in a daze. They were all police dog handlers from Zhangzhou City, and everyone shared in the honor Sun Chang received.

"I really can't believe it, Sun Chang, you actually defeated Geng Yuxiang! That's the famous Dog King Hadogen from Chu City, who would have thought he would be defeated by Beibei this time?"

Zhou Bo was speechless, and Bei Bei looked at him with a sense of wonder.

It's worth noting that Beibei was once a member of the Zhangzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau's police dog squad, meaning Zhou Bo personally raised him. How come no one saw his potential back then? He's only been away from the bureau for a few months, and he's already a dog king?
"Wang!"

Beibei had given up fighting Big Red Flower, but it still sensed Zhou Bo's malicious gaze and turned its head to bark fiercely.

Zhou Bo quickly raised his hands in surrender, and the group burst into laughter.

"Beibei is still the same Beibei, the only difference is the trainer, right? We've all seen how hard Changchang has worked and how much effort she's put in lately. Beibei's first-place finish is an honor inseparable from Changchang's hard work!" Yu Rong said with emotion, but a hint of sadness lingered in her heart. She even regretted not choosing to participate in the heptathlon; otherwise, with An'an's abilities, who dares to say she couldn't reach that honor?

However, when she thought about the hard work required to compete in the hexagram, especially the serious training she gave her police dogs, Yu Rong could only shake her head.

Unlike Sun Chang, she also had Jingjing to take care of in addition to An'an, making it impossible for her to favor one over the other. Furthermore, the city bureau's affairs were busy and complex, making it impossible for her to be as focused and dedicated as Sun Chang.

"Let's just say I'm envious and making excuses for myself!"

Yu Rong shook her head, putting aside her thoughts of competing with Sun Chang. There was something more important now: was the leader's sudden request on stage related to Sun Chang and Li Siyu's strange behavior these past few days, and to whether Mimi Li Siyu was able to sit on the stage?

Yu Rong and Zhou Bo exchanged a glance, then looked at the silent Yuan Qu, and both of them immediately had a guess in their minds.

"Changchang, congratulations! I knew you and Beibei would be the best!"

Finally managing to escape from the podium, Li Siyu rushed over and hugged Sun Chang tightly. The surprise of Sun Chang and Bei Bei winning first place in the six-event all-around competition left her stunned and in disbelief on stage, only now daring to believe that she wasn't dreaming.

"Hehe... It's not that exaggerated. Besides, I don't even have a single first place in any individual event, so I feel unworthy of this honor!"

Sun Chang chuckled, a hint of regret on his face. He realized he should have worked harder; if he had fought a little harder and won first place in an individual event, he could have proudly accepted his friends' congratulations.

"Whether you get first place in an individual event or not is not important; being good at everything is the most important thing! With excellent results in all six events, Beibei deserves to be number one."

Yuan Qu spoke slowly, and surprisingly this time he didn't pour cold water on the idea.

The group stood there chatting and laughing, making sure to send the good news back to their workplace and basking in the praise and compliments from those around them. Just then, Sun Chang noticed that Mimi wasn't with Li Siyu. He was about to ask her what was wrong when Li Siyu gave him a meaningful look.

This look naturally did not escape the notice of Yu Rong and her two companions, after all, although they were police dog trainers, they were also professional police officers.

"Troublesome?"

Yu Rong spoke slowly.

She didn't specify what it was, but everyone around her understood. Even Chen Song, who was about to greet her, stopped and stood directly next to Zhou Bo without any hesitation.

"It's very troublesome!"

Li Siyu nodded emphatically, but refused to say anything more. Besides, everyone would definitely know about it by the afternoon, so there was no need for her to say anything beforehand.

The group nodded in unison; knowing this was enough.

We're all police officers, so dealing with trouble is perfectly normal. We encounter all sorts of difficulties every day; this is just another challenge. If we work together, we can overcome it—it's nothing special.

"It seems that this is the real purpose of this police dog competition! I'm suddenly interested. No wonder the Municipal Bureau specifically told me to follow the arrangements of the local leaders when I came here!"

Chen Song chuckled.

Those who hadn't yet grasped the seriousness of the situation all smiled and nodded confidently. Only Sun Chang and Li Siyu exchanged a glance, their expressions turning somewhat bitter.

This time... it's not a matter of whether you're interested or not, or whether you'll actually do it or not!
Viruses treat ordinary people and police officers equally! The scale of the enemy's attack and the extent of Chu City's all-out defense remain unknown.

"Hey!"

Sun Chang sighed, feeling that even the heavy certificate in her hand couldn't make her happy again.

"Let's go eat first! It's getting late, and we don't know when we'll be done this afternoon."

Li Siyu quickly changed the subject.

Meanwhile, Lin Ge was taken to the conference room by Wei Zhengxun.

Several leaders who had just been applauding the contestants and presenting awards to the winners also walked in one after another, their expressions no longer showing the smiles they had on the podium.

The real challenge is only just beginning!
Whether things will go as smoothly as everyone plans remains to be seen.

"Old leader, didn't you say you'd only select the top fifty police dogs? Why are you suddenly keeping all the police dogs? It's just controlling an airport, is it really necessary to deploy so many police dogs?"

A leader from the transportation department asked with some surprise.

“I originally thought of selecting the best, but it’s true that the more the merrier. And as you’ve seen, it’s not that police dogs ranked after 50 are no good. An’an, a police dog from Zhangzhou, won first place. Does that mean it’s inferior to anyone else? It may not be particularly outstanding in some events, but at least it can play a significant role in its areas of expertise. To require all six to be selected is, frankly, a bit arrogant.”

Seeing the cat slowly nodding, the old leader's lips curled into a smile. He looked around at everyone and said, "Comrades, this mission cannot tolerate even the slightest negligence! Even the smallest oversight would be an irreparable failure. Perhaps mobilizing more police dogs will be troublesome and arduous for you, but compared to the safety of the people of the city, the province, and even the nation, I feel that no amount of extra effort is too much! Therefore, I want all 140-plus police dogs participating in this police dog competition! I ask the city to arrange their food, lodging, transportation, and all other details to ensure they can perform their mission with full dedication and without any distractions!"

"Yes!"

Everyone nodded in agreement, and no one questioned the old leader's decision.

"As for what you just said..."

The old leader then looked at the person from the transportation department and said seriously, "We must take all aspects into account, it's not just a matter of an international airport! What if there are loopholes at the airport? What if some people manage to slip through the net? We must consider every aspect carefully. It's better to have the police dogs idle and waiting in place than to be caught off guard and have to rush to bring them back if something unexpected happens."

Everyone nodded again.

Lin Ge also showed a satisfied expression. Very good! His subordinates had increased from fifty to more than one hundred and forty, almost tripling! This was the first time he had commanded so many police dogs, and he inexplicably felt more imposing.

"As for Mimi..."

The old leader looked at Lin Ge again, his expression becoming even more serious.
