Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 128 Self-degradation
Ordinary police dogs can smell human scents and cosmetics, but they cannot distinguish between them.

But this kind of thing is not simple for Lingo.

Led by the bartender to the spot where Chu Siqi had sat the night before, Lin Ge closed his eyes and sniffed around. From the various scents of alcohol, cosmetics, perfume, and the people who had come and gone, he was able to pinpoint Chu Siqi's personal pheromones.

The woman's body odor smelled of at least four different types of alcohol. It's impossible to know what she was thinking; her "drink until you drop" attitude was clearly meant for someone else.

Of course, this was not something that Lingo was interested in or concerned about.

He simply jumped off the chair and started walking out, following the scent. When he reached the bar entrance, the complex atmosphere instantly dissolved, and Chu Siqi's scent became even clearer, extending all the way to the bench over there.

That's correct; we didn't choose the wrong target because of environmental influences.

Lin Ge breathed a sigh of relief.

After sniffing the area next to the bench, he continued walking. At this moment, Chu Siqi's scent mingled with another person's, and he made a 90-degree turn at a slow pace, heading towards an alleyway leading inward from the center of the street.

Zheng Mingxing and Nie Guoqiang followed behind. He held a phone and kept in constant contact with the monitoring room, ordering them to review the surveillance footage of the alley to search for the missing person.

"Does this mean they don't trust me?"

Lin Ge glanced back at Zheng Mingxing, feeling somewhat annoyed.

Previously, when investigating these minor cases with Nie Guoqiang and Zhang Yong, we never sent anyone else to review them. But now that the political commissar is here, why are there so many trivial matters?

"Can Lao Nie still hold on?"

After hanging up the phone, Zheng Mingxing helped Nie Guoqiang up with concern.

Nie Guoqiang shook his head and punched his outer thigh hard a few times: "Hehe... I guess I really have to retire early. My legs have really become a burden. Even painkillers can't help them now. I really have to admit I'm getting old."

"What do you mean by 'getting old'? You're still young! And even if you can't do fieldwork anymore, you can still shine in other positions. Speaking of which..." Zheng Mingxing shook his head with a smile and continued to Nie Guoqiang, "You're only good at talking now. If anyone dares to let you retire, they'll probably hate you for life! Hehe... Just stick it out honestly. The weather forecast says it'll get warmer in a couple of days, and then you'll be a lively and energetic police officer again."

“As long as the temperature is stable, it won’t be a problem whether it’s hot or cold. It’s only when the temperature difference is large that my legs really can’t take it.” Nie Guoqiang nodded, then looked at Lin Ge ahead and said, “Mimi has slowed down, looks like she’s almost there.”

"This is not good news!"

Zheng Mingxing sighed.

Nie Guoqiang nodded silently.

The less time a suspect spends on the operation, the more time he has to commit the crime. Starting from 6:15 AM when he took the missing person, it would have taken him no more than fifteen minutes to bring the person to this alleyway!

It is now past nine in the morning, which means the suspect has about two hours to commit any crime against the missing person.

This is not good news.

However, on the other hand, after receiving the report and learning that more than an hour had passed since the incident, Nie Guoqiang had actually been mentally prepared for this.

She can only admit that she made a mistake and has to bear the consequences herself. A young woman drinking alone outside, not going home, and then sitting foolishly on the curb late at night... If someone like that isn't being watched, who will?

We should even be thankful that the suspect didn't use a vehicle. Otherwise, being taken to the wilderness would have been far more serious than simply being "picked up" by a corpse.

At the entrance of a 24-hour hotel, Lin Ge stopped and looked up at the hotel gate.

"Is this here?"

Zheng Mingxing went in first.

Nie Guoqiang stepped forward, bent down, picked up Lin Ge, and followed him inside.

The receptionist, who was yawning, paused for a moment and looked nervous when she saw two policemen enter. She quickly pulled out her phone and started dialing blindly, looking like she had something to hide.

The two policemen weren't angry. They simply tapped the table and asked, "Did you see a drunk girl brought in? Just two hours ago, do you remember? Her name is Chu Siqi. Did you register her information?"

The waiter nodded quickly and said very honestly, "Yes, yes! Around seven o'clock, she and her boyfriend checked into a room, room 317 on the third floor."

"Boy friend?"

Lin Ge, nestled in Nie Guoqiang's arms, stared wide-eyed.

Nie Guoqiang's expression remained unchanged as he continued to ask, "What are their names? Since there are two people, you must register the information of both of them."

"This one……"

The waiter was dumbfounded and awkwardly whispered, "The man said he only took the woman to her room to rest, and left after dropping her off, so I didn't register her. And it's true! Officer, he really did leave not long after, I'm not lying, there's CCTV footage to prove it!"

"Give me a copy of the surveillance footage later. Give me the room key now." Nie Guoqiang felt a strange sense of relief, but he didn't think a man who picked up a corpse would be so kind. He nodded to Zheng Mingxing, took the universal room key from the waiter, and headed straight for the elevator next door.

Zheng Mingxing stayed on the first floor to question the waitress and asked her to turn on the surveillance footage to find the image of the perpetrator.

Nie Guoqiang led Lin Ge up to the third floor and arrived at the door of room 317.

He listened intently but heard nothing. He knocked on the door, but there was no response. Looking down at Lin Ge, he saw Lin Ge shaking his head at Nie Guoqiang, indicating that there was nothing unusual inside.

Nie Guoqiang opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, a strong smell of alcohol hit me. Inside, a naked woman sat on the bed, leaning against the headboard like a madwoman. She was completely naked, and the room smelled strongly of sex, but the woman seemed unconcerned.

When she saw a policeman come in, she simply raised her foot expressionlessly, hooked the thin blanket with her toes, and lazily covered herself up.

All her actions were carried out brazenly under Nie Guoqiang's nose, without the slightest hint of shame at being seen. Lin Ge also took the opportunity to feast his eyes, but he couldn't understand why this young and well-built woman would so willingly degenerate.

Nie Guoqiang stood motionless at the door, his eyes scanning the room.

"What's the matter?"

After a long pause, the woman spoke, her voice hoarse.

"police!"

Nie Guoqiang first identified himself, then said in a deep voice, "Chu Siqi, right? Can you tell me what happened?"

"Nothing happened!"

Chu Siqi's answer made Nie Guoqiang close his eyes.

Feeling somewhat upset, Nie Guoqiang reopened his eyes and said, "You don't look like you're alright right now. Chu Siqi, you have to trust the people's police! No matter what happens, we will make those who hurt you pay the price!"

"I already said, nothing happened!"

Chu Siqi gave Nie Guoqiang the same answer, even though her current situation could not be explained by the fact that nothing had happened.

Are you ashamed to call the police?
Or do they actually know the suspect?

Or perhaps... she's willingly wallowing in self-pity and doesn't care at all?
Nie Guoqiang knew that Chu Siqi wouldn't be able to give him a satisfactory answer anytime soon.

Taking out his phone to send a message, Nie Guoqiang temporarily ignored Chu Siqi and instead checked the room. No condoms were found in the trash can, and there were no signs that the shower had been used in the bathroom. The woman's handbag was behind the door.

He picked it up and checked it; his phone and wallet were still there, along with tissues and sanitary napkins. Nie Guoqiang didn't rummage through it further.

He took several photos of the room with his phone, making sure Chu Siqi wasn't in them, and then stood at the door waiting silently.

Lin Ge squatted at the foot of the bed, watching the strange woman with curiosity. She really didn't move an inch from beginning to end, even when Nie Guoqiang picked up her bag and put it on the bedside table, she acted as if she didn't see it.

There was no focus in this woman's eyes.

for what?
Loss of virginity?

Or is it something else?

Suddenly, Chu Siqi threw off the covers, turned around, and prepared to get out of bed, revealing her body without any restraint.

Suddenly, a large bath towel was thrown at her, hitting her face. The woman was jolted and showed a look of surprise for the first time.

"Get dressed!"

Nie Guoqiang's face was ashen.

For some reason, Chu Siqi shuddered.

She hadn't cared about anything just a moment ago, but now she obediently wrapped herself up tightly in a bath towel, covering all her private parts.

She went to the bathroom, somewhat avoiding Nie Guoqiang, while Lin Ge sighed in disappointment.

It's good to take a look and appreciate it!
Although I seem to have lost feelings for human women after turning into a cat, it's okay to just admire them, right?

That bastard Nie Guoqiang!
I'm prepared for cuts, hmm.
