Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 109 Searching for Relatives (Third Update)

The entire Baimiao Police Station was brightly lit, and no one could leave work anytime soon.

Liu Shengyou was very satisfied with this scene.

"So, the 712 family annihilation case in Zhongcheng Town, Jingzhou City, five years ago, was solved just like that?"

Nie Guoqiang looked at him in surprise.

Unexpectedly, this bastard actually got a windfall and solved a major case for no reason.

That's a brutal murderer with five lives on his hands... no! Including today's victim, he's a six-life killer! The neighboring city police have been pursuing him for five whole years, and he was kicked into the Baimiao Police Station by his own cat?
Damn it, why isn't it Zhanghe Police Station?

Nie Guoqiang glared angrily at Liu Shengyou, who sat smugly with his legs crossed, in a very pleasant mood.

"So, that bastard has been hiding in Shili Town, which is on the border of Zhangzhou and Jingzhou, making a living by farming and doing odd jobs? How did he manage to stay hidden for five years? Was someone in the village protecting him?"

When it came to serious matters, Nie Guoqiang became serious.

Liu Shengyou shook his head and smiled helplessly, "After being arrested, he confessed quite readily. Actually, it's because the regulations in the countryside are too lax. He's always been a hard worker, so he inexplicably earned a good reputation. Besides, he's not the only one in the countryside without an ID card or even a household registration. Anyway, he just muddled through like that, and everyone around him turned a blind eye. If it weren't for the village asking for his help this time, he would never have come to the city."

After glancing at Nie Guoqiang, Liu Shengyou said in a deep voice, "Besides, there's something you're wrong about. He has at least eight lives on his hands! One was a homeless man, and the other was a lost elderly man; both were killed by him without any reason."

"Does this guy have anti-human personality disorder?"

Nie Guoqiang clenched his fist.

"He just doesn't want his skills to go to waste!"

Liu Shengyou sneered, his white teeth flashing menacingly: "He confessed himself that his skill in killing was the foundation of his livelihood, something he couldn't afford to lose. So for the past three years, he killed one person every year! Heh... damn it!"

Finally, Liu Shengyou slammed his fist hard on the table.

"Beast!"

Nie Guoqiang shook his head and sighed, "Fortunately, we managed to arrest him in time. If we had let someone like him continue to run rampant, it would have been a disaster for the people."

"What do you mean 'we'? They were arrested by my Baimiao Police Station!"

Liu Shengyou rolled his eyes.

Nie Guoqiang wouldn't tolerate him: "If you dare to deny Mimi's great contribution, I'll kill you!"

"how come!"

Liu Shengyou waved his hand: "How about this! I can give all the credit and results of Yang Jinfa's case, as well as the gratitude from Jing City afterward, to Zhanghe Police Station! And then, how about you give Mimi to me?"

"You're just dreaming!"

Nie Guoqiang gave him a disdainful look.

Does the Zhanghe Police Station lack merit? Why would they care about a mere murderer?

Your Baimiao Police Station's cells are full of prostitutes and clients of prostitutes—all for public order violations! Meanwhile, my Zhanghe Police Station is overflowing with petty thieves. Even minor offenses get sent to the city bureau!

Drug cases! Espionage cases! Kidnapping and murder cases! Public shootings! These are the kinds of things our Zhanghe Police Station should be doing!
Who brought this?
Mimi!
Why would Lao Tzu kill the goose that lays the golden eggs, and sell Mimi for such a small gain?

Dream!
"I was just saying."

Liu Shengyou chuckled sheepishly; he knew his idea was doomed. Anyway, trying wouldn't cost anything, and what if Nie Guoqiang suddenly went crazy?
"Alright, I'm taking Mimi with me now."

Nie Guoqiang stood up.

"Aren't you going to stay for dinner?"

Liu Shengyou had no intention of getting up.

"Nonsense! You still have time to eat? I can already hear your men's groans, poor guys working overtime." Nie Guoqiang scoffed, waved his hand ignoring Liu Shengyou's hypocrisy, and turned to leave his office.

"You bastard, you make it sound like you never work overtime until you're completely exhausted."

Liu Shengyou pursed his lips without any politeness; their relationship didn't require such pretense. He simply stroked his chin, pondering for a moment, and then muttered to himself, "Looks like the Baimiao Police Station needs to find a way to get a police dog or cat! These things aren't usually needed, but they're really useful in special circumstances! Even if we only have one that's slightly less capable than Mimi, we could use it to catch prostitutes or drug dealers; that would generate some revenue for the station, right?" His eyes lit up with an idea.

On the other side, Nie Guoqiang found Lin Ge and Luo Jue in the front service hall.

Luo Jue was covered in dirt, and he managed to sneak into the abandoned building as soon as Lin Ge ran inside. Although he couldn't find Lin Ge in time and help him subdue the criminal, he at least managed to take Lin Ge away from the scene, preventing him from being watched by more people.

Even when the police officers came to join the commotion, it was Luo Jue who forcefully stopped them.

Compared to him, Qian Wei is a complete bastard.

Because he caught a thief along the way, he is currently helping to give a statement at the Baimiao Police Station. He is hardly the animal caretaker or pet owner of Ling Ge.
Outrageous!

Nie Guoqiang picked up Lin Ge and Luo Jue and led them back.

Halfway there, he parked in a park, bought a pack of wet wipes, and gestured for Luo Jue to wipe his and Lin Ge's hair.

Watching Luo Jue carefully groom Lin Ge, Nie Guoqiang rolled down the car window and lit a cigarette for himself. "Luo Jue, there's something I need to tell you. Um... they found a birth record in Nan Province that might be related to you. Although we can't be sure if it's you yet, it's at least a direction. So... I'll take you there in a few days when I have some free time. Finding relatives, finding family, you can't just spend your whole life like a wild child hanging around in the police station."

Luo Jue stopped moving and stared blankly at Nie Guoqiang.

Lin Ge also looked up curiously, glancing at Nie Guoqiang and then at Luo Jue, never expecting to hear such news at this time.

But... it's a good thing!

Just as Nie Guoqiang said, Luo Jue shouldn't spend her whole life like a piece of duckweed in the Zhanghe Police Station.

He needs to have his own family, his own life, and his own real and legal identity.

Seeing Luo Jue remain silent, Nie Guoqiang gave him some time to think before continuing, "Of course, so many years have passed, and we don't know what the situation is like over there now. Anyway, we have to go and see for ourselves before we can be at peace, right? Zhanghe Police Station will always be your home, you can rest assured about that. But... hehe... that's the gist of it, it sounds like a curse, never mind."

Nie Guoqiang seemed to be giving Luo Jue a hint, or perhaps it was because he was knowledgeable and experienced, so he was giving her a heads-up.

Luo Jue, on the other hand, remained silent, paused for a moment, and then continued to groom Lin Ge.

After wiping it clean with a wet tissue and then wiping it again with a dry tissue, there was no response to Nie Guoqiang's words.

Perhaps he didn't know how to respond either?
After all these years, and so much has happened. Luo Jue's life for the first ten years or so was more unique and more cruel than that of most people in the world.

Even at the Zhanghe Police Station, his social skills and understanding of high-tech gadgets remained poor. This child could barely utter a few words for ten days or half a month, and he knew absolutely nothing about mobile phones or computers.

After returning to the police station, Nie Guoqiang dropped off Lin Ge and Luo Jue, then rushed home.

He was a little worried about Nie Xiaopang being home alone.

Lin Ge went to the restroom to take care of his personal hygiene. When he came out, he saw Luo Jue standing quietly in the moonlight, staring blankly at the sky.

He must have been in a lot of turmoil.

After all, this child isn't stupid.

Lin Ge was lost in thought when he suddenly noticed light still shining from under the roller shutter door of Luo Jue's room. At the same time, he heard the little rascal scratching at the door, as if he had heard the commotion outside and smelled Lin Ge's scent.

"Hey, stop messing around!"

Li Siyu's voice followed, and soon the roller shutter door opened, revealing a tired-looking girl inside.

"Mimi, and Luo Jue, you're finally back! Hehe... I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Ah... I'll head back now. Luo Jue, I've made your bed. Go wash up and go to sleep."

The girl yawned and said this as she returned to the table and put a few books into her canvas bag.

Following Jiang Yiyi's advice, she has already begun to study for the adult college entrance examination. Only after passing the adult college entrance examination can she meet the minimum requirements to become an auxiliary police officer. Next, she plans to pursue an adult associate's degree and then an adult bachelor's degree, which is also part of her life plan.

The journey hasn't been easy, and she's already far behind her peers. But even so, Li Siyu doesn't seem to have any intention of giving up. Whenever she has a spare moment, she picks up a book and studies diligently.

After thinking about it, Lin Ge decided to send Li Siyu back first.
