Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 111 Keep it up, Beibei (First Update)
Xie Lili was leaning against a tree, head down and back bent, vomiting violently.

A nauseating odor filled the air, causing people around to frown and move away.

She vomited violently, her eyes rolling back in her head, even bringing up bile. Sun Chang, unable to bear it any longer, poured her a glass of warm water, and after a long while, the woman finally came back to life.

"thank you."

Xie Lili thanked them, then took out a tissue from her bag and carefully wiped her mouth before explaining to everyone with an embarrassed smile, "I'm sorry! Yesterday was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I was having so much fun with my best friend that I accidentally drank too much. I'm not usually like this; it's just that it's not often that I get the chance to go out and have fun."

Everyone nodded, unsure whether they believed her or not.

Ma Baifen, his face grim, leaned against Xie Lili. Suddenly, he frowned and said, "You drank so much, how did you get here? And who was driving? Why aren't they getting out yet?"

Xie Lili trembled and lowered her head, whispering, "It was... a designated driver. I... I know I shouldn't drive after drinking, so I called... called a designated driver for help. There are a lot of police here, so he was probably... a little nervous. He'll leave on his own once everyone leaves, so don't worry."

"Who's worried? But you...you hired a designated driver to drive the police car for you?"

Ma Baifen was truly shocked, and his eyebrows furrowed.

He'd been a policeman for almost forty years, and this was the first time he'd seen something so outrageous. A police car? Not just anyone can drive one! Was this girl brainless?

Seeing Xie Lili pretending to be dead with her head down, he sighed deeply.

Looking at Xie Lili, then at the dog playing with Lin Ge, Ma Baifen turned to Liu Shengyou and said, "What's wrong with this girl? Liu Shengyou, is this the kind of police officer the Municipal Bureau sends to assist you in your case?"

"Add a tip".

Liu Shengyou used just two words to define Xie Lili completely.

He paused, then said in a low voice, his face expressionless, "The municipal bureau didn't want her, and they didn't want to make a scene. Luckily, I, this idiot, took the initiative to negotiate with the municipal bureau, so they dumped her on me. Don't worry about her, just help me see what kind of dog she is, whether it's worth it for my police station to keep such a useless piece of trash."

Ma Baifen sighed and turned to look at the dog being bullied and pinned down by Lin Ge. What's going on? It's a police dog, after all, and it's being beaten up by a cat without daring to fight back?

After looking at it for a while, he felt better and nodded, saying, "The dog is alright, it's intelligent enough. Although it's not as good as a cat, it's still useful. Getting it is worth it, even if it's a burden... What are you laughing at, asking for a beating?"

Liu Shengyou, trying to make light of the situation, said, "You don't know, Nie Guoqiang also took on a burden because of this cat. We're in the same boat, constantly causing trouble for the city bureau! My cat is just useless, but his... you've heard of Qian Wei, right? Look, the one under the tree with the restless look on his face. This guy is now Nie Guoqiang's father, always causing trouble for him outside."

"Qian Wei."

Ma Baifen looked at Qian Wei and sighed with emotion.

Turning his head, he saw Liu Shengyou still smiling, his face darkened, and he kicked him.

Can Qian Wei and this girl be compared?
While Xie Lili rested and sobered up at the station, Ma Baifen arranged for Liu Shengyou's men to drive a beat-up Volkswagen Santana. He himself got into a brand-new Japanese car, and the group headed to Lianghe Village to find the first location Yang Jinfeng had indicated for dumping the body.

It was a small reed marshland, but densely covered with vegetation.

The countless reeds, the mud of unknown depth, and the current policy prohibiting wildfires in rural areas mean that almost no one ventures into the area.

When Lin Ge and Bei Bei got out of the back seat of the Honda, they both stared at Ma Baifen cautiously, not daring to run around.

The old man's gaze was so sharp that even the cat and dog, left unattended, sat obediently in the back seat, not daring to move. Lin Ge even felt that the old man might have sensed something, but was pretending to be oblivious, like Nie Guoqiang?
In short, well, it's best to stay away.

Lin Ge reminded himself.

Seeing that the silly dog ​​was still lying there wagging its tail and trying to please the old man, Lin Ge jumped onto its back and slapped it on the head.

"Hurry up and leave!"

Poor Beibei let out a whimper and quickly carried Lingo into the main group.

Two policemen escorted Yang Jinfeng to the edge of the reed marshes and asked him to identify the location where the body was dumped.

Yang Jinfeng pointed haphazardly with his handcuffed hands and mumbled, "It was roughly in this area, but I don't remember exactly where. We just stuffed it into a sack, threw it in there under the cover of darkness, and left."

"That's a person, not trash!"

Liu Shengyou gritted his teeth.

"Beasts!"

Having learned the details, Sun Chang was filled with righteous indignation.

"They're already dead."

Yang Jinfeng muttered something nonchalantly.

This guy truly treats human life like dirt.

Liu Shengyou took a deep breath.

Turning his head to look at the reeds again, he knew that today's task would be quite extensive. If he was unlucky, he might have to hire construction vehicles to block the river and clear away the entire reeds before he could find the remains.

After all, the case occurred more than a year ago. By now, the body has probably turned to bones, and there's even the possibility of it being eaten and dragged away by wild animals.

"There are badgers here, and quite a few stray dogs too."

Ma Baifen spoke expressionlessly.

Liu Shengyou clenched his fist.

He took another breath and turned to look at Lin Ge, who was pretending to be innocent, and Bei Bei, who was sitting obediently without moving.

"Mimi, Beibei! It's up to you now. Ideally, you should find skeletal remains; at the very least, find some traces. This is evidence—evidence that can get this bastard shot!"

Liu Shengyou spoke in a deep voice, glaring fiercely at Yang Jinfeng.

Unfortunately, Yang Jinfeng didn't care at all.

"Wang!"

Beibei wagged its tail and accepted the command.

Lin Ge stood on Bei Bei's back without saying a word. After Liu Shengyou finished speaking, he stepped on Bei Bei with his hind leg, and Bei Bei immediately took off running out of the crowd.

It carried Lingo to the edge of the reeds, but the damp, soft mud made it hesitate. It glanced down at the mud that was up to its toes, then called out to the crowd before bracing itself and stepping into the reeds.

"It's a good dog."

Ma Baifen nodded slightly.

Liu Shengyou also revealed a satisfied smile.

The group watched silently as the dog and cat disappeared into the reeds before turning back to their work. Taking photos and examining evidence at the scene, the police weren't solely relying on the two animals.

At this time, Lingo and Beibei also encountered trouble.

A den of badger hogs suddenly appeared before them.

One large and three small dogs stared warily at the cat and dog, displaying clear signs of aggression. "Woof..."

Beibei, who had never seen a hog badger before, whimpered.

"What the hell!"

Lingo slapped it on the back, then stepped on Beibei's head and stared at the beast in front of him.

His expression was also somewhat serious. After all, although the badger was not large, it was not much weaker than a wild boar. Moreover, wild animals are best at fighting for their lives. If a fight broke out, getting injured or breaking a leg would be a minor matter.

Of course, retreating is out of the question.

"Ow!"

Lin Ge let out a low growl, baring his teeth and staring at the small beast beside the sow badger.

"Hey! What are you doing?"

Ma Baifen grabbed Luo Jue, almost causing the little guy to stumble. Seeing Luo Jue's wild side and his attempt to resist, he slapped him on the head.

"Are you crazy?! This mud pit is of unknown depth; in some places, it could bury your head. And unlike quicksand, it's a dark hole that can bury you in an instant. If you recklessly rush in, you could get stuck without anyone noticing."

Seeing the serious expression on the old man's face, Luo Jue's expression brightened a bit, and he said with difficulty, "But there's...movement inside...Mimi...is fighting inside...it's dangerous..."

"Did they really encounter a wild animal?"

Ma Baifen was stunned for a moment.

He glanced at Luo Jue, then turned to look at the reeds, and hesitated for a moment.

"Should we switch them? Or tie a rope around them and send someone to rescue them?" Liu Shengyou suggested.

"I'll go, I should be the lightest here."

Sun Chang raised his hand, excluding Luo Jue.

"Bring your weapons."

Ma Baifen did not refuse.

As police officers, no one has the right to shirk responsibility when it comes to facing danger. Sun Chang was indeed the most suitable officer on site to venture into the reed marshes.

Of course, taking risks doesn't mean going to your death.

The group quickly found a rope several tens of meters long in the back car and hurriedly tied it around Sun Chang's body.

However, just as Sun Chang was getting ready and found a bamboo stick to probe the way, a small area in the reeds began to sway from a distance.

A short while later, a cat and a dog covered in mud appeared before everyone.

The cat remained perched on the dog's back, looking somewhat tired.

The dog was slowly backing away, its rear end facing this direction.

It had something that looked like a snakeskin bag in its mouth, and a large, bulging lump was trailing behind it, covered in grass clippings and mud.

That thing seemed very heavy, and Beibei wasn't pulling it with much ease.

And whenever it relaxed, the cat above would pat its head to encourage it. Under this pressure, Beibei could only grit its teeth and continue working, dragging the bag out of the reeds.

It wasn't until people came into view that it breathed a sigh of relief and lay limply in the mud, completely exhausted.

"Beibei!"

"..."

Sun Chang and Luo Jue greeted the cat and dog with delight.

Ma Baifen and Liu Shengyou exchanged a smile, then turned to stare at the dirty bag that had been dragged out by the cats and dogs.

Could it be that...?

"Huang Liangcao, go check what's inside. Be careful to wear gloves. Don't cut your hands and get contaminated."

Liu Shengyou gave orders to his subordinates.

Lin Ge, who had met the policeman surnamed Huang during the locust eradication, quickly put on gloves and, disregarding the fact that he wasn't wearing rubber boots, waded through the water and mud into the reeds to pick up the bag.

His face changed drastically when he looked through the tear in the bag.

He carefully carried the bag out, then, ignoring the mud that would soil his clothes, he held it in his arms and quickly returned to Liu Shengyou.

"Chief, is a bone, a human being."

He quietly opened the bag and showed it to Liu Shengyou.

"I hope it's not someone else's."

Liu Shengyou breathed a sigh of relief and, in a moment of joy, told a lame joke, only to be glared at fiercely by Ma Baifen.

At his command, the police officers sprang into action.

Find a flat, dry place, carefully remove the skeleton, take photos for evidence, wipe off the mud that sticks to it, extract samples, and then carefully piece it together according to the human anatomy.

Everyone is extremely busy.

Seeing this, Lin Ge sighed.

Got it!
I should have known this would happen; I couldn't avoid running back and forth today.

The tattered bag had been used as a sleeping place by a den of badgers, and over time it had become severely damaged. Even Lin Ge, who had been supervising the journey, didn't know exactly how many bones they had lost along the way.

But judging from the way the police were acting, it seemed they had to collect them all.

Right!

Buried in the ground, what's the big deal about leaving a little bit in the wilderness?
Lin Ge tensed up and climbed onto Bei Bei's head again.

"Let's go, Beibei! You've worked hard today, so let's go, I don't want to stay up all night! Giddy up!"

"Woof...Woof! Woof woof!"

Beibei ran off feeling wronged, and then shouted in response.
