Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 116 Toys
"Zhang Ke?"

Sun Chang stared at the man in astonishment. His assertive attitude was completely different from the gentle and handsome man he had seen in the police station courtyard.

"Sun Chang?"

Zhang Ke was also taken aback when he saw Sun Chang.

"Do you know?"

Lü Linghua was also stunned.

Zhang Ke and Sun Chang stared at each other, never expecting to run into each other in a place like this.

Lu Linghua, standing nearby, was even more curious, her mind racing with countless thoughts.

If it weren't for her own beloved daughter, she might even have had the urge to order a milk tea and sit on the sidelines to watch the show.

Wow! The Iron Woman has blossomed!
"Hua Hua, what kind of look is that?"

Sun Chang was both ashamed and angry.

Lü Linghua quickly waved her hand and pointed to the neighbor's door: "It's nothing, it's nothing! Hehe... Why don't you two chat for a while, and I'll ask this uncle to open the door?"

"Business matters."

Sun Chang wasn't in the mood to chat nonsense with her stupid best friend.

She nodded to Zhang Ke as a greeting, then extended her hand to the regular police officer in front of her: "Hello, I am Sun Chang, a trainee police officer from Shili Town Police Station. This cat is my good friend, and I'm sorry to trouble you with this today."

"Zhu Jun."

Zhu Jun shook his head and did not shake hands with Sun Chang.

That bastard Zhang Ke is watching closely. What if he gets jealous and tells Jiang Yiyi when we get back?

The number of police officers increased from two to three, but their demeanor inexplicably became more imposing. The stairwell was completely blocked, creating immense psychological pressure for the people inside.

"Never mind, wait a minute!"

He hung up the call.

Three police officers waited patiently at the door. Sun Chang couldn't help but say to Zhang Ke, "Why didn't you bring Mimi out this time? For cases like this where you're looking for live animals, Mimi should be able to find them in an instant, right?"

"That guy's lazy!"

Zhang Ke smiled and said gently, "Mimi is very disobedient. She will only do things if it is a case that interests her or if it is an order from our deputy director. She always ignores things like going through the trouble of finding a cat."

Sun Chang thought of how diligently the cat had worked yesterday, saving the police a lot of trouble in their investigation.

"Oh, I thought it was very well-behaved."

"good?"

Zhu Jun chuckled.

That domineering and willful little bastard who rules the office—where is he being obedient?

It's a troublemaker, scratches people, disobeys, and runs around! It's been to every corner of the Zhanghe Police Station except the cells; there are huge clumps of cat hair everywhere! Even the cleaning lady is tired of it lately!
Zhu Jun made a nasty rant, but unfortunately the two people next to him didn't listen at all.

Zhang Ke and Sun Chang chatted casually, their growing familiarity drawing a pair of captivating, watery eyes from Lü Linghua standing nearby. These two... they're such a perfect match! They're such a great couple! I really love shipping them!

She almost forgot about her cat.

A few minutes later, the family's door was finally slowly opened.

A round-faced man wearing glasses, with an annoyed expression, opened the door and then made way for him: "Come in and check! Humph! What a waste of time. I've already made it very clear, the cat isn't here!"

"excuse me!"

Zhu Jun and Zhang Ke nodded and went inside.

At this moment, Lü Linghua also remembered her own cat, and quickly called out "Niu Niu, Niu Niu" as she stormed in.

Sun Chang thought about it and didn't follow.

After all, she was neither the one who called the police nor a law enforcement officer, so it was indeed inconvenient for her to trespass on someone else's property. In some ways, even onlookers could squeeze in, but she should have been the only one who avoided suspicion.

then……

Lu Linghua did not find her Niu Niu at this family's house.

This house was smaller than Lü Linghua's, and there wasn't much room for the cat to hide. He called out but received no response, and couldn't find it anywhere. Zhu Jun could only assume the cat wasn't in this house, and gestured for Lü Linghua to come out so he could check the other side of the house.

"Let me look again!"

Lü Linghua refused to believe it, or perhaps the man's disdainful look made her feel embarrassed, so she stubbornly insisted on arguing a little longer.

Zhu Jun ignored her and only routinely inquired about the man's identity and occupation.

"ah!"

Suddenly, Lu Linghua screamed from the bedroom.

Zhu Jun and Zhang Ke's expressions changed, and they pushed the man aside and rushed over. Sun Chang, who was waiting outside, also couldn't hold back and rushed in.

"Hey! No..." The man only had time to shout once before two policemen rushed into the bedroom.

"Don't move! Don't run around! Otherwise you'll be treated as an escapee!"

Sun Chang glared at the man and threatened him before quickly running inside.

Upon seeing this, Sun Chang was stunned.

Leaving aside Lü Linghua, who was squatting by the bedside, Sun Chang couldn't believe his eyes when he saw a black gun barrel sticking out from under the bed next to her.

gun?
This man actually hid a gun under the bed?

The gap under the bed was only about the height of a fist; no wonder the two policemen hadn't searched there. If Lü Linghua hadn't been so impulsive as to touch even such an unlikely hiding place, the gun would never have been discovered.

"An iron thing?"

Zhu Jun turned on the body camera and then dragged the gun out from under the bed.

This is a replica assault rifle similar to the American M16, and its appearance is more like the kind of toy you could buy for children in a toy store. It even comes complete with an extended grip, magazine, scope, and suppressor, making it look quite sophisticated.

But that's not the point. The point is that all three policemen could tell at a glance that the barrel of this gun was made of metal!

Although the outer shell is mostly made of plastic, the fact that the barrel is metal is enough to distinguish this gun from a toy. What it shoots and how it's powered are irrelevant.

Whether it's an air gun, a soft bullet gun, or a water bullet gun, anything involving metal materials undoubtedly violates the national gun control law.

In particular, the revised regulations on the performance appraisal of firearms and ammunition involved in cases by public security organs in the past two years have constrained the muzzle energy of non-standard firearms to 1.8 joules per square centimeter. After that, most iron-based launching devices will definitely exceed this threshold.

So the moment the gun appeared, Zhu Jun made the judgment that the man outside had broken the law!
Whether it is illegal or criminal requires further investigation.

Zhu Jun gave Zhang Ke a wink, signaling him to restrain the man, and continued rummaging under the bed. This time, he pulled out a replica handgun and a modified, bulky UZI submachine gun.

They have all been modified without a doubt, with the barrels replaced entirely with metal.

The assault rifle and pistol were spring-powered soft-ball guns, while the UZI...

"You've really gone all out to modify it into an electric one! This was modified from a nail gun, didn't it? Do you know you're breaking the law?"

Zhu Jun looked at the man being escorted in by Zhang Ke with admiration.

"I...it's just a toy! A toy you can buy anywhere on the street, what law did I break?" The man was pale, but he still tried to argue: "Even if it was modified, I bought all the materials online! Since you can buy and ship online, why do you say I broke the law?"

"Heh... What's the point of making excuses?"

Zhu Jun sneered.

Almost every criminal tries to argue when they are caught, but their words are only good for fooling themselves and have no meaning in the face of the law.

Seeing Zhu Jun's attitude, the man chickened out and whispered, "I just play around with it at home, I've never taken it out. I like modifying it, not using it! So officer, please let me go, I promise I won't do it again."

"Let you go?"

Zhu Jun sent a message to the station, then stood up and patted the man on the shoulder: "The other two guns are fine, but this submachine gun, you've committed a crime, brother, you're going to jail!"

"Go to jail!"

The man's legs went weak, and he sat down on the ground with a thud.

Lu Linghua couldn't bear to watch this scene and was terrified. Seeing that neither the police nor the suspect had noticed her, she quickly dusted herself off, got up, and sneaked out.

Even though she found the gun by accident, you can't really blame her, right?
She's still looking for the cat!

Seeing Sun Chang standing blankly at the bedroom door, Lü Linghua quickly pulled her best friend out.

"What are you looking at? Don't interfere with the police officers' investigation, okay?"

Sun Chang rolled his eyes: "I'm a policeman too! And could you please stop pretending to be young? The two people inside aren't much older than you, calling them 'uncle' is disgusting."

"A police officer isn't an uncle!"

Lü Linghua didn't care at all.

"Niu Niu! Niu Niu?"

While calling the cat's name in the hallway, Lü Linghua kept her attention on the family she had just seen. She couldn't help but pat Sun Chang's bottom and whispered, "Hey! Do you think a mere toy gun could really lead to jail time?"

"That's no longer a toy! At least that submachine gun can kill a guy like you without any problem."

Sun Chang slapped away her best friend's groping hand.

Lu Linghua wasn't angry, she just chuckled and said, "It's just a nail gun with a gun shell on it, right? I've seen nail guns before, and I've even seen them on Taobao. If something can be sold on Taobao, then putting a shell on it will land you in jail? According to you, buying a kitchen knife is a crime too."

"Can a kitchen knife compare to a gun?"

Sun Chang glared at Lü Linghua and said seriously, "Did you waste your university classes? What is the primary function of a kitchen knife? What is the function of a nail gun? Can you use a dagger to cut vegetables, or can you use a submachine gun to do renovations? They have subjective differences in their functions!"

"I changed my major, didn't I? I've forgotten all those things!"

Lü Linghua gave a silly, carefree laugh.
