Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 151 Shit

In the criminal investigation office of Zhanghe Police Station, everyone was completely silent.

Everyone gathered quietly, watching the live video feed on Zhang Yong's phone.

In the pitch-black stairwell, the old woman's sinister laughter sent chills down everyone's spines. And the contents of her phone call only fueled their anger.

So immoral!

This is inciting crime!
No one can imagine what heinous things a homeless person would do if he moved into the home of this family on the second floor!

It's like a mouse falling into a honey pot; how could it possibly end well?

Unfortunately, in order to prevent Lin Ge from being discovered, and to prevent the police cat's hard-won achievements from going to waste, no one in the office dared to make a sound, and they even dared to breathe out in one breath, for fear of affecting the person on the other end of the phone.

Everyone was relieved that Mimi had discovered this potentially serious matter beforehand. Otherwise, if they had waited until the incident was reported, even if the perpetrator had been caught, the penniless homeless man wouldn't have been able to offer any compensation.

Zhang Yong, however, stared quietly at the two characters 'Ningning' displayed at the top of his phone screen, when suddenly he felt a slight toothache.

What was I thinking during the day that I actually thought this damn cat could take good care of my daughter?
Look! What a righteous and spirited, brave and intelligent, excellent police cat! No one provoked it, yet it went looking for trouble! While it certainly did the right thing, if that phone is discovered, Ningning's safety...

Some things are better left unthought of, and one should not overestimate the moral character of those old hags.

Pointing his thumb out the door, Zhang Yong didn't even dare to drag the chair; he simply lifted it up, bent over, and slowly moved it out.

Outside the door stood Nie Guoqiang and Zhu Jun, one having just returned from the procuratorate, and the other whose perfect night had just been ruined. Both looked grim, their faces expressionless as they watched Zhang Yong exhale and lower his chair against the wall.

Zhang Yong took out a cigarette, lit it, and tossed the rest to Nie Guoqiang. He said in a deep voice, "This matter cannot be delayed! Now that we know the case has occurred, we cannot allow the consequences to escalate. My suggestion is to set off immediately to arrest the suspects Chen Chunhua and Zhao. As for Xiao Sun on the other end of the phone, the evidence is insufficient and the facts are not conclusive. Let's just wait and see! If he dares to come, arrest him! If he doesn't come, pretend nothing happened."

Nie Guoqiang lowered his head to light a cigarette, while Zhu Jun frowned and said, "But this makes the nature of the case somewhat superficial. Although there was collusion, one only unlocked the door and the other only pushed it open; they didn't take any further action. I've been thinking about it, and besides damaging other people's property, what other crime could this illegal behavior constitute? Considering the age of these two elderly people, I estimate that it will be very difficult to punish them. The most likely outcome is compensation plus community service."

"You think this isn't enough?"

Nie Guoqiang exhaled a smoke ring and said in a deep voice, "Whatever mistake you make, you will be punished accordingly! Since the two of them did not break in to steal, then based on the video evidence, they can only be convicted of violating the Public Security Administration Law and damaging other people's property. There is no room for negotiation. We are police officers, not judges from the underworld."

Zhang Yong and Zhu Jun bowed their heads and agreed.

At this moment, Xie Hua came out with Zhang Yong's phone, handed it back to Zhang Yong, and said, "The video call ended, and there were no special circumstances afterward. Chen Chunhua is a cautious person; she went straight upstairs. She didn't care whether things would work out or not, and she distanced herself from the situation very clearly."

"It looks like a pile of shit! It doesn't do much harm, but it's disgusting!"

Zhu Jun gritted his teeth.

"Let's set off then, and make sure the shit doesn't really soil the people's homes."

Nie Guoqiang extinguished his cigarette and then gave the order: "Remove two people from the e-cigarette case who were working overtime, and bring back Xiao Zhu and Lao Zhu to participate in the overtime work. As for the auxiliary police, Zhao Zhigang and Hu Zhengping. Everyone has been working very hard lately, so let's overcome the difficulties and do everything for the people."

"Yes!"

The group bowed together.

Soon, the police officers, who had finally managed to go home and get some rest, pitifully returned to the police station.

After hearing what had happened, everyone was speechless.

Oh shit!

That damned old hag, couldn't you at least do something bigger? She stirred up such a trivial matter, forcing so many people to work overtime. And for such a minor issue, she didn't even get a share of the credit, yet the number of people she had to go to and the statements she had to take was more than the number of criminal cases!
Zhu Jun is absolutely right, that old woman is a pile of stinking shit!
"Mimi, why didn't you just take down those two old hags directly? Why make things so complicated? With its abilities, let alone one old woman, even ten or eight of them would just have to lie on the ground pretending to be dead, wouldn't they?"

Zhu Xingqiang, who had just gotten into bed and removed the condom when he was called back to work overtime, had a murderous look on his face.

Zhang Yong gave an awkward laugh.

He couldn't very well tell Zhu Xingqiang that it was he who had reminded Mimi during the day not to work alone. He never imagined that just a few hours later, those words would cause so much trouble for everyone in the station.

"Hehe... Don't make things difficult for Mimi. She can use a mobile phone now and knows that if she finds a problem, she can make a video call to a designated person to take evidence. That's already quite remarkable, she's practically a god cat, okay?" Hu Zhengping said sarcastically.

He just couldn't stand the cat in the office.

This feeling reached its peak, especially after her own son died.

He worked hard for more than ten years and was only a first-level auxiliary police officer, but a cat suddenly got a permanent position?
What a joke!
This cat has repeatedly violated discipline, acted recklessly, and broken the law, but the police station not only ignores it but also spoils it.
Haha... Look at what Xiao Zhu said! He actually encouraged this cat to attack people? An old man who wouldn't even consider a couple of days in jail enough for his crimes, why should he be beaten up by a cat? Isn't this vigilante justice?
What era are we living in? Is this something a police officer should say?
Hu Zhengping thought resentfully, "My name is Zhengping, yet I can't be fair and just to a cat."

After he said that, the people in the car fell silent.

No one wanted to say anything to him, nor were they interested in defending Mimi. The conversation ended there, and the police car drove silently towards Zhang Yong's residential area.

"Why are you arresting me!"

"What crime have I committed?"

"Everyone come and see! The police are framing innocent people and arresting civilians without their consent! Everyone, be the judge! The police are beating people! God, have mercy on them and strike these beasts down!"

As soon as they arrived nearby, they heard Chen Chunhua's hysterical screams, which alarmed all the nearby residents.

It seems Zhu Jun's group has successfully apprehended Chen Chunhua, but it's unclear how Nie Guoqiang's group is doing with the arrest of Zhao. Zhang Yong's group's task is to protect and investigate the scene on the second floor, and to ambush the so-called "Little Sun" at the entrance of the residential area.

Although everyone knows that even if they did catch this person, the police station can't do much more than give them a warning. After all, uncommitted crimes are not under the jurisdiction of the police; they are dealt with by the law and by the individual's moral standards.

However, the responsibility of the police is not just to lock up criminals.

It is also important to promptly prevent impending crimes and to criticize and supervise those involved.

Many people in the neighborhood watched from a distance, pointing and whispering, taking photos and videos with their phones. The police couldn't handle this, and the leaders could only repeatedly remind everyone at the Monday morning meeting that they must enforce the law civilly. Even if someone spat on your face and curses your entire family, you absolutely cannot use force against the suspect.

Of course, there are limits.

If a suspect dares to resist and a police officer is injured, the police are happy to charge the suspect with assaulting a police officer, so that the charge is not serious enough to warrant imprisonment.

Unfortunately, Chen Chunhua was very wary of this.

Or perhaps she was quick-witted but lacked courage. Even with Zhao Zhigang practically shoving his face in her hand, the old woman didn't dare make a move, only raising her voice louder and louder.

"Tch! Trying to curry favor with Captain Zhang, he certainly doesn't want an old hag like that living next door. It's good to spend a few days in jail, your children will definitely come back to see you right away, and if you can't stay here anymore, you can move to a new place."

Zhao Zhigang sighed regretfully.

"You bastard, let go of my old woman!"

An old man stumbled over, carrying a large object, and threw it forcefully in this direction.

Distracted, Zhao Zhigang paid no attention to his surroundings and, caught off guard, the dark object was already close in front of him.

"Hey! Zhao Zhigang!"

When he heard the warning and looked up...

'Boom! '

His head snapped back uncontrollably, and Zhao Zhigang felt a sharp pain in his head and his vision went black. A stainless steel chair, the kind used by fishermen, was thrown out of his sight.

"Dry!"

Zhao Zhigang was completely numb.
