Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 133 Tough Issue (Four Chapters of 10,000 Words, Seeking Support)

Lin Ge obediently swallowed the meatball.

Jiang Yan also successfully defeated her nemesis.

You can tell from how quickly she called Yang Xiaotong that she must have been very pleased with herself.

Lin Ge heard the furious voice on the other end of the phone.

This married woman, swearing and cursing, is certainly not elegant at all.

However, Lin Ge began to look forward to seeing what kind of tricks Yang Xiaotong would come up with to win against Jiang Yan again.

He was very curious.

Furthermore, after swallowing the pill, Lin Ge experienced absolutely no reaction. Forget about the diarrhea and expelling of stagnant fluids often depicted in novels—he didn't even taste any Chinese medicine.

Perhaps it really is just an ancient deworming pill. At most, it might have some health benefits, but it's nowhere near enough to turn you into a super cat.

This thought actually made Lin Ge feel much more at ease.

After all, it was a great favor, one that it could hardly bear.

After dinner, Lin Ge declined Nie Guoqiang's invitation and wandered back to the police station alone.

As soon as I returned to the cattery, I inexplicably saw the female tortoiseshell cat meowing and coming up to me to be affectionate. The female tortoiseshell cat seemed to want to be close to Lin Ge even more than before, and even after he refused her as usual without any mercy, she still meowed and refused to leave.

The lame man became even more respectful to Lin Ge. That bastard even brought out a dead rat from somewhere, intending to offer it to Lin Ge, but Lin Ge beat him up again.

Perhaps these are the changes that occur when taking medication.

However, the three kids' attitude towards Lin Ge was completely normal, which left Lin Ge somewhat confused.

It's nothing serious, why think so much about it?
Lin Ge shook his head.

The next day, Lin Ge, with his eyes half-closed, was carried by a female auxiliary police officer and followed Jiang Yiyi to the home of the suspect, Xu.

It's a very simple, old, and dilapidated apartment, with very cheap rent every month.

In reality, Xu owned a nice house in the city, a bit old but in a good location. Xu, who did not engage in any productive work, rented it out, relying on the rent to support his monthly expenses and occasional indulgences.

Upon entering the rented room, the messy and foul smell made Jiang Yiyi frown.

But as a police officer, she suppressed her discomfort and began collecting various valuable evidence in the room, and ordered the female auxiliary police officer to take photos of every detail in the room for record-keeping.

This time, there was no sycophant Zhu Jun to help.

As usual, Lin Ge was unwilling to go inside, so he just squatted at the door and watched Jiang Yiyi busy herself.

Soon after, Jiang Yiyi brought over several evidence bags, which contained several pairs of underwear of different colors and styles.

"Mimi, I have good news and bad news."

Jiang Yiyi's smile was wicked.

Lin Ge glanced at her sideways.

"The good news is, the underwear has been washed. After all, discharge can be quite disgusting over time." Jiang Yiyi didn't treat Lin Ge like a human being, saying disgusting things as she handed the evidence bag to him. "The bad news is, the bras are all intact. There are four in total, and they're all yours. Take a good sniff and remember the smell. Later, after Zhu Jun analyzes the surveillance footage and identifies potential contacts, you'll be the one to determine whether they are victims or not."

Lin Ge took two steps back, avoiding Jiang Yiyi's wicked smile.

But it was business after all, and Zheng Mingxing's words from yesterday still seemed to echo in his ears. Lin Ge reluctantly sniffed for a second before quickly shaking his head and escaping from the rented room. He then vented his anger by punching a tree outside.

The female auxiliary police officer covered her mouth and chuckled from behind.

There weren't many valuable clues in the rented room; instead, the various signs of masturbation made Jiang Yiyi burst into a tirade of curses. She and the female auxiliary police officer quickly gathered the information and then took Lin Ge to meet up with Zhu Jun, Zheng Mingxing, and others.

The group met up at the community neighborhood committee, where a middle-aged woman named Ye Mei, sent by the Women's Federation, was also present.

She already knew about the case, and her face was very grim. She kept cursing and saying things like young people don't respect themselves, which made Zheng Mingxing's expression very subtle.

Jiang Yiyi ignored her and handed the collected records to Zheng Mingxing. "Instructor Zheng, the information about the rental house has been collected, and Mimi has also memorized some of the victims' information. As for you, have you found any targets in the surveillance footage?"

"Three suspected victims were found, all of whom had been seen walking with Zheng in the surveillance footage."

Zheng Mingxing glanced at the records, then looked up at Zhu Jun: "Their identity information is all correct, right? If their identities are wrong in this kind of situation, it will cause big problems."

Zhu Jun nodded, then glanced at Zhang Ke behind him, who was yawning and whose hair was a mess like a bird's nest: "Zhang Ke and I have checked several times, and the facial recognition is basically clear. They are the victims who are easy to find, but the other victims are still hard to find clues about." "Then let's start with these three people."

Zheng Mingxing nodded and pointed to the first person on the document: "Let's find this one named Li Moli first. According to the registration records in the office, she should live nearby."

"Nearby? Xu is so bold, isn't he afraid of running into someone one day?"

Jiang Yiyi asked curiously, then leaned closer to look at the victim information Zhu Jun had collected. Upon seeing it, she was stunned: "Married? Are you kidding me? This… Instructor Zheng, shouldn't we reconsider? Although she is a victim, it's still a sensitive matter. Normally, she would definitely keep it from her husband, but if we go to her door and her husband finds out… Instructor Zheng, the victim is innocent; we should understand her predicament."

Zheng Mingxing paused, and his cheek twitched.

Zhu Jun hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Both of them knew what Jiang Yiyi was trying to say, but after being violated, no matter the reason, they shouldn't have concealed it. If everything is based on excuses or hardships, how can the law punish criminals?

"Perhaps her husband already knows, or at least understands..."

Zhu Jun began to speak haltingly, but before he could finish, Jiang Yiyi glared at him angrily, causing him to swallow the rest of his words.

"She deserves it! Who told her to be so shameless! If you ask me, we should go to her house in a big way to persuade her, teach her a lesson, and make sure she doesn't do such a shameful and stupid thing again! As an adult, she has to bear the consequences of her mistakes!"

Ye Mei, standing nearby, offered her opinion without any apparent concern.

"Let's make the call first!"

After considering it for a moment, Zheng Mingxing decided, "Let's call her first and tell her that the criminals have been arrested. Then we'll ask her if she's willing to testify. We can choose to remain anonymous, not disclose the information to the public, and not require her to go to the police station."

"Ok!"

Jiang Yiyi nodded, quickly took out her phone to write down the phone number in the message, and then walked to a quiet spot to dial it.

The call went through smoothly. Lin Ge eavesdropped and heard that it was indeed a woman's voice on the other end.

However, after Jiang Yiyi briefly explained the reason for the call, the person on the other end of the phone hung up without hesitation, before even hearing the news of Xu's arrest.

This attitude is already very clear.

Between her past experience of being a victim and her current life, she chose to stop pursuing the matter and distance herself from it, letting the crime be as if it never happened.

Lin Ge knew that many female victims would make the same choice.

Like I said before, just consider it as being bitten by a dog.

And to put it bluntly, they might even try to comfort themselves by thinking that they haven't lost anything...

They simply don't consider how this attitude emboldens criminals. To put it bluntly, if Zheng had been reported to the police the first time he picked up a corpse, there wouldn't have been so many victims later.
Lin Ge shook his head. Jiang Yiyi tried to call again but found she had been blocked, so she could only shake her head as well.

"Change to the next one!"

Zheng Mingxing's voice was low, but he did not show any sign of dissatisfaction.

"Hey! Officer, are you just going to let this go like this? How about I take over this? I'll go see her myself right now and explain the seriousness of the matter to her, and get her to cooperate with the government?"

Ye Mei was somewhat unwilling and showed great enthusiasm from the side.

Zheng Mingxing glanced at her and shook his head.

Jiang Yiyi ignored the woman silently and dialed the phone number of the second victim, also going to make contact.

A moment later, she returned.

"This time she listened to the whole thing and thanked me. But she refused to testify, saying that we shouldn't disturb her current life."

Jiang Yiyi looked helpless.

"continue!"

Zheng Mingxing dragged over a chair, sat down, and closed his eyes.

The third person's phone call went unanswered; it indicated the number was not in service. It's highly likely they changed their phone number or even moved to a new city for a new life.

Everyone fell silent.

What a bad start!
If all the victims share this attitude, then it will be very difficult to execute Xu.
