Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 108 The Murderer (Second Update)

Another commotion came from downstairs.

Who has ever seen such a brave cat? It climbed the smooth exterior wall to the third floor with its bare hands, like a parkour runner?

Even after the cat reached the third floor, it didn't sneak inside. Instead, it moved along the shallow, recessed cement frames used for large billboards for businesses, heading towards the underground parking lot at the end.

Liu Shengyou naturally wouldn't overlook the underground parking lot.

Because the parking lot is right next to the residential area, if that person manages to sneak into the residential area using some unexpected means, it will be really troublesome to find him again.

He has already sent people to guard inside.

Lin Ge vaguely saw someone on the ground following him as they ran this way, but he didn't have time to worry about it.

As time passed, the sounds from upstairs almost completely disappeared. Lin Ge didn't know whether the person had hidden or escaped, so he could only find a broken window on the third floor and crawl in to begin searching the room again.

The area inside was an office area.

There were many scraps of paper on the ground, and inside were countless tiny pigeon coops separated by glass walls. You could see what was inside through the glass, but you could also see yourself reflected in the glass, especially those big eyes that gleamed eerily in the darkness.

To be honest, suddenly seeing your own face in this kind of environment is quite a terrifying thing.

However, Lin Ge couldn't care less about that now; he had successfully detected the scent of a 'human'.

This building has been abandoned for at least three to five years, and with the passage of time, it has lost all its vitality. So, who else could be causing this fresh scent to appear at this moment but that guy?

Lin Ge squinted.

The man didn't escape far, but hid somewhere nearby. He most likely couldn't find a way out and was waiting for the police to arrive, hoping to find an opportunity to escape while the chaos continued.

But this also means that when this guy is discovered, he will most likely fight like a cornered beast.

Lin Ge mentally heightened his vigilance and silently moved towards the person's direction.

But after walking for only a short while, a glass wall blocked my way, forcing me to detour like in a maze, turning ninety degrees to the other side.

With a slight toothache, Lin Ge finally understood why he had heard the person making back-and-forth noises earlier.

He grinned and cautiously continued forward. He found a staircase ahead; it seemed the escape route wasn't locked.

But then... why doesn't this person keep running upwards?
Wouldn't it be easier to escape by running to the rooftop or underground parking garage than by staying in one place?
Bait?

Lin Ge put himself in Lin Ge's shoes and doubled his vigilance.

Using the light from the window, he moved silently toward his target like a hunting beast. He was patient and extremely careful, observing his surroundings intently, making absolutely no sound.

Before long, Lingo successfully found his target.

The first thing you see is a dagger, its outline barely visible in the dim light, held in the man's mouth. He clings to the corner of the roof like a giant spider, his hands bracing against the wall, his left foot resting on an abandoned air conditioner unit. His upper body is bare, lean, and dark-skinned.

The man remained motionless in the darkness, like an eerie ghost. His expression was indifferent, as if he didn't care what awaited him.

Following the light that seemed to come from nowhere, Lin Ge could see his pair of gleaming eyes.

This is... a terrifying guy.

Lin Ge sensed a terrifying feeling emanating from this man, as if he had killed someone. In addition to his own scent, he also smelled of perfume and death.

Yes!

Although he didn't know how to describe it, Lin Ge had a strange feeling that this smell was death! He could also understand why this person was desperately trying to escape: he had killed someone in the KTV over there.

It's probably a woman.

It's probably some princess.

Even though he had just killed someone, this man remained as calm as a monster.

Lin Ge carefully crouched down, concealing himself in the shadows. He wasn't alone; he had plenty of police behind him. "If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move; if the enemy makes a move, I'll kill him"—that was Lin Ge's current mindset.

The person and the cat hid themselves in close proximity, quietly waiting for things to change.

We must find him!

A few minutes later, a commotion arose outside. The sound of police footsteps was deafening in the dim light, and their shouts reassured Lin Ge considerably.

The deceased was found in the bathroom!

"Her identity is still unknown, but she should be a princess who frequents entertainment venues!"

"Why kill? How the hell am I supposed to know what the murderer was thinking! Anyway, be careful, that guy's dangerous!"

"Go in pairs, don't be alone!"

The sounds of police officers greeting each other, reminding each other, and discussing the case grew closer, breaking the tranquility and gloom of the place.

Lin Ge clearly saw the man's arm above him move slightly. He slowly braced himself against the wall with his unsupported right foot and back, then freed his right hand and pulled the knife from its sheath.

"This guy actually has the audacity to plan a fight with the police?" Lin Ge stared wide-eyed in shock.

This was the first time he had ever seen a murderer in the truest sense of the word!

A truly terrifying person is someone who kills for the sake of killing, whose hands are stained with human lives, and who doesn't mind taking a few more.

A killer?

Not like!

It can only be said that this kind of person, having killed before, no longer values ​​human life. The only way for such a person to deal with things is to kill!

Like... a wild beast!
Lin Ge felt inexplicably nervous.

Even though he was confident in his strength, having defeated more than one or two adults, he couldn't help but worry that he might accidentally lose his life to this vicious criminal.

Lin Ge took a deep breath.

The man above him twitched his ear, as if he had sensed something. But as he squinted and slowly observed his surroundings, he found nothing unusual.

He refocused his attention on the approaching police officers, unaware that a similarly lurking presence was hidden beneath his feet, concealed in the darkness.

The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

Who is the mantis, who is the oriole, and who is the cicada?
Lin Ge silently revealed all his claws.

Have you noticed?

"Not here!"

The two policemen covered for each other and shone their powerful flashlights around randomly.

The all-glass environment severely impaired their vision, with constant reflections making it difficult for them to see their surroundings clearly. Furthermore, underestimating the threat of the fleeing attackers, the two hadn't carried much equipment; one carried a plastic baton, and the other a stun gun.

What made Lin Ge even more worried was that the two of them hadn't considered the possibility that the suspect was hiding above their heads. The complicated environment made them focus all their attention and the beam of their flashlights on the sides, and they didn't look up once as they walked.

Lin Ge took a deep breath.

The man above was also taking rapid, shallow breaths.

His gaze gradually sharpened, and his right hand, which was holding the dagger, changed to a more aggressive posture, with the tip of the dagger pointing straight down.

Lin Ge silently dodged the flashlights that were being fired at him.

The two policemen, unaware of his presence, continued walking forward, glancing around suspiciously. The transparent and unobstructed environment lowered their guard.

"Did they go to the rooftop?"

One of them spoke up, puzzled.

"And what about the cat? I haven't seen it either?"

The other person dodged the chair leg and kicked it aside.

"cat?"

Five meters away, the man paused for a moment.

But the approaching police left him no time to hesitate. He squinted, stopped thinking, and stared intently down below, ready to pounce.

The flashlight beam brushed past his right foot, but the two policemen still didn't notice.

Soon, a head wearing a hat came into the man's view.

"drink!"

The man roared and gripped the dagger, stabbing it straight down at the policeman's head.

"Ow!"

A sudden roar came almost simultaneously.

Both police officers were startled by what they saw.

Before either of them could react, a dark flash of light shot up fiercely from the ground, hurtling towards the policeman's head.

Lin Ge jumped very high and landed precisely in front of the man.

He spun around in mid-air and pushed off with both legs, slamming his full power into the man's thigh. The man instantly flipped over in mid-air, his downward motion arcing like a windmill, before crashing headfirst to the ground with a thud.

He fell flat on his face, seeing stars.

The two policemen were startled by the huge object that fell from the sky, and then stared in astonishment at the man who had been lying motionless in front of them for a long time, looking at the dagger still tightly gripped in his hand. They turned to look at each other.

"what?"
