Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 122 Reversal
Only then did Lin Ge realize that the two swindlers had such a plan.

Antiques swapped?

It is indeed a disgusting thing that is also very difficult to detect.

If they remain undetected for two or three days, these two swindlers will have ample time to make their escape. To put it bluntly, they don't even need to flee; they can simply avoid returning to this place.

Because Lin Ge remembered very clearly that there were no cameras near the vegetable garden.

This neighborhood, built over a decade ago, only had the police's surveillance system installed at the main gate. But the old man led them in through a side gate, the kind where a hole was dug in the wall to make it easier to grow vegetables.

The elderly people's goal may simply be to walk a few fewer steps, but it perfectly bypasses the Skynet surveillance system, creating a loophole in the police's monitoring network.

Expecting an elderly person to be able to describe the scammer's appearance and details in detail several days or even longer after the incident has been discovered is asking too much.

The two scammers took advantage of this, targeting all their scams on the elderly.

very disgusting!
Very professional!

With that kind of cleverness, what can't you do to make a fortune?
Lin Ge thought with disdain.

About five minutes later, Ye Kan, whose real name or pseudonym was unknown, walked out of the house with a big smile on his face.

Facing Ye Ke's gaze, he nodded and said softly, "I spotted it at a glance, it's on the altar! Hehe... An old man who lost his son, he's really not afraid of being coveted! Placing such a treasure in front of the portrait for incense is such a waste!"

Ye Ke's eyes widened: "Damn it, isn't this destroying an antique? After being fumigated like this for a few years, how much will the jar still be worth?"

"So we're doing a good deed, protecting antiques!"

Ye Kan was satisfied with his self-convincing.

"That's really...shameless!"

Lin Ge looked down on the two swindlers outside, saying they dared to take the offerings meant for the dead, and weren't afraid that their sons would be born without an anus?
Should we tell Zhang Yong now and have them arrested?
Lin Ge hesitated.

Because there is a maximum sentence for fraud, and the two known fraud cases involving these two swindlers are still in progress. Furthermore, so far, no other crimes beyond their connection with Zhao Liang have been found that could warrant conviction.

Those two guys are too cunning!

Arresting them now would be a bad deal.

If these two are well-prepared, they might not even be able to be implicated in Zhao Liang's affair. Giving them a mere administrative penalty or a small fine and releasing them would be too lenient on these two bastards!
After thinking it over, Lingo decided to be more patient.

Seeing the old man slowly walking towards them carrying a bag of things, Lin Ge chose to retreat, not wanting to alert him.

"Mimi, where are you? Zhang Ke has been waiting for you for ages, he's so worried!"

Less than five minutes after he left the old man's house, Lin Ge suddenly received a call from Zhang Yong.

Lingo flicked his tail, ignoring him.

That was close!

If he continued to linger with those two scammers, wouldn't this phone call expose him? Lin Ge then realized that Zhang Yong, that bastard, had no good intentions; his calls would be forcibly connected, just like a child's smartwatch.

You get tired of wearing this thing after a few days, and it can even be pinpointed by the police station.

With these negative effects, Lingo didn't want it anymore.

"Mimi?"

Zhang Yong was still wondering why the cat wasn't responding. Had something happened to it?

"Ouch!"

Lin Ge yawned, his voice sounding a little impatient.

Hearing the cat's meow, Zhang Yong felt relieved.

I have no idea what's gotten into this jerk this time, but expecting a cat to behave is really unrealistic. Hoping this guy will obey is like hoping the world will be free of crime!

With this cat's abilities, there's no need to worry about it getting killed. Since that's the case, let it go wherever it wants; who has the energy to keep an eye on it all day?

Thinking this, Zhang Yong gave a few more instructions, such as not to cause trouble, not to wander around, and not to eat food from strangers, before being urged by the police alert to hang up the phone in a hurry.

Lin Ge breathed a sigh of relief.

After finding an empty house in the three buildings next door, Lin Ge climbed over the security bars on the first floor and then scaled the rain shelter to reach the second floor. The house looked like it hadn't been lived in for a long time, but the balcony door was locked, so there was no way to sneak in.

Lin Ge didn't care; he just needed a place to keep watch. The two swindlers' target was undoubtedly the old man's antique Go set container, and they certainly wouldn't give up until they succeeded.

Thinking it over, Lin Ge rubbed his vest against the wall to take it off and then put it under his body.

It's a little hard, but much better than a dirty balcony.

Lying down, he began to doze off lazily.

This break lasted for a full two hours.

When Lin Ge saw the two swindlers staggering out of the old man's house, he was stunned. They were clearly drunk; what was going on?

These two good-for-nothings got completely bewildered by an old man?
"Hiccup!"

Ye Kan let out a burp, his eyes glazed over, and staggered forward.

Behind him, Ye Ke was clutching the back of his white shirt, her head bowed as if she might fall asleep at any moment.

The two of them walked towards the gate of the residential area in a daze, clearly having lost most of their consciousness.

Otherwise, given their usual vigilance, how could they forget about the security cameras at the entrance of the residential area?
"Hiccup! Slow down, slow down!"

Ye Ke almost missed a step and bumped into Ye Kan's back.

"Yan... Ye Ke, why... why did you bump into me?"

Ye Kan, whose speech was unclear, spun around and stared at Yan Ke, saying, "This old man's liquor... is strong! Stronger than the one I drank in... Haishi last time! I definitely... can't drink it again next time."

“Yan… Ye Kan, you were the one who… wanted to drink with him first.”

Yan/Ye Ke struggled to stand firm and held up a finger to Yan/Ye Kan: "You...you're drunk? You're useless! Look...what number is this? Uh...what number is it again? Why does it look like...doubled image to me?"

"fool!"

Yan/Yekan grinned foolishly, pulled hard on that finger, and dragged Yan/Yeke staggering out of the residential area.

Having finally climbed down from the second floor, Lin Ge hurriedly followed and hid at the corner of the community entrance, only to be dumbfounded by what he saw.

Have these two scammers met their match?

There's always someone stronger. Is the old man too enthusiastic, or is he more cunning than these two?

Lin Ge recalled the old man's face, which hadn't changed much from beginning to end, and couldn't guess whether the old man was pretending to be weak or if the old man's liquor was just too strong and it was all just a coincidence.

By the way, did these two get exposed to the old man?

Lin Ge's curiosity grew stronger. Looking up, he saw that the two swindlers couldn't be going very fast, so he quickly turned back and ran towards the old man to see what was going on.

As I approached, I saw the old man watering the flowers in the yard.

The two con artists were completely drunk, but the old man remained completely unfazed. He walked steadily and firmly, and his hand holding the water bottle didn't tremble at all; there was no indication that he had been drinking heavily.

"As expected, they were tricked by this old man!"

Lin Ge's speechless complaint.

Given the old man's condition, what use are these two swindlers for stealing antiques? If they dare to come again, they might end up being sold into a black coal mine and helping them count the money.

"Ok?"

The old man's ear suddenly twitched, and he turned to look at Lin Ge, then casually put the kettle down.

Lin Ge quickly ducked and hid behind an evergreen tree.

"Stop hiding! Come out, Mimi!"

The old man spoke without expression.

"!!!"

Countless exclamation marks popped into Lin Ge's mind.

When did this old man discover me? Did this old man know me? What exactly is this old man's identity?
A flood of questions suddenly welled up in Lin Ge's mind.

"Still not coming out?"

The old man kept his eyes fixed on Lin Ge's direction, his tone remaining calm: "I saw you back when you were climbing the school wall! Wearing a vest and lying there, did you think you weren't conspicuous enough, or did you think I was too old and your eyesight was bad?"

Damn it! I knew wearing a police uniform wouldn't bring anything good!
Lin Ge cursed inwardly.

Seeing that the cat ignored him, the old man was not angry, but simply turned around and went inside.

Lin Ge dared not move rashly, for fear that the old man might suddenly turn around and attack.

Half a minute passed, and the old man still hadn't appeared. Just as Lin Ge was about to slip away, the old man returned to the yard carrying a paper cup and placed it outside the gate.

"Come on! Mimi, drink your milk. Mimi~~ Mimi~~"

He started shouting again.

"Mimi~~~"

"So it's this Mimi!"

Lin Ge rolled his eyes, feeling like he wanted to die.

When the old man called him Mimi, he thought his identity had been completely exposed!
