Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 267 The Attacking Cat and Dog Squad (5K Long Chapter)

Shao Yongkang's attitude was not good, or rather, the entire field department of the Zhangzhou Criminal Investigation Brigade had some complaints about the police dog squadron.

In their view, police dogs should be the best partners for criminal police. When the two work together to catch criminals, they will definitely achieve a result greater than the sum of their parts.

However, the reality is that Li Mei from the police dog squad always makes a lot of demands on the police officers who ask for their help. For example, the working hours cannot exceed two hours, the police dogs must be allowed to rest every half hour, the water for feeding the dogs must be clean, and so on, which annoys the police officers to no end.

Of course they know that police dogs are delicate!

But the criminals don't care!
When you need to catch a criminal, are you going to make the criminal stand still and wait for the police dogs to rest before you start chasing them again?
Dogs need to drink clean water, so is it best to carry two buckets of purified water with you?
This is all nonsense!
In fact, this kind of thing could be avoided by having several police dogs take turns working, but ultimately the Zhangzhou City Police Dog Squadron still has too few police dogs, so after a few times everyone got impatient and stopped bothering to call on these police helpers.

Of course, Li Mei didn't care. After all, the police dogs never lacked work, and no one was taking their jobs away from them. Whether it was catching criminals or conducting routine patrols, these were all normal tasks for the police dog squadron, and no one could criticize the squadron for not cooperating with its colleagues.

However, this time, when they saw the police dog team mobilized as a whole, the city police officers could hardly believe their eyes.

What does this cat do?

Some, unfamiliar with Ringo, curiously asked their fellow police dogs about the cat in the vest crouching at the front. They remarked on the cat's little police uniform, wondering if it was custom-made.
"The famous police cat Mimi, you've never heard of her?"

The police officer being questioned stared at his colleague in surprise.

"All I know is that the stray cats downstairs are always being meowed at! Besides, I only came back from the west a few days ago. Damn it, I spent half a year in that hellhole trying to catch someone. Isn't it normal that I'm not familiar with the situation in Zhangzhou right now?"

The policeman named Quan Chenghai rolled his eyes.

So his companion told the man everything he knew about the incredible things the police cat had done during this time.

"A cat that received a second-class merit award?"

Quan Chenghai was stunned, unconsciously touching his chest. Even he only had a third-class merit medal, while a cat had already earned a second-class merit?
But after hearing about that unbelievable drug case, he had to admit the value of the second-class merit medal. Just from his colleague's description, he could tell that if it weren't for this cat, that drug gang would never have been discovered.

"Tsk tsk! Awesome! I'm starting to get excited. I wonder how much of a surprise this cat will bring me this time. Let's do it!"

Quan Chenghai, eager to try, flexed his biceps. His bodybuilding pose made Huang Yizhong on the other side quickly move away. Damn it, we finally managed to get this gay guy out, how come he caught the criminal and came back?
Lin Ge twitched his ear.

All he wanted to do was banish the obscene words he'd overheard from his mind. What was this Quan Chenghai guy all about? Why was everyone calling him "gay brother"?
And his posing and cringe-worthy gestures—is he really a policeman?
Fortunately, there was no time for him to think it over, and Shao Yongkang quickly issued the order to depart. The officers from the Yangdian New District Police Station had already made preparations in advance, and the First Squadron also had to set off as soon as possible to prevent the prisoners from noticing anything amiss and escaping prematurely.

"Where is Yangdian? How do I get there?"

Lin Ge watched as a group of criminal police officers got into the police car and realized that no one paid any attention to him or his underlings behind him.

"Mimi, over here!"

Zhou Bo drove up in an old pickup truck, and Yu Rong, the passenger, was sticking her head out and waving at Lin Ge. Yuan Qu, expressionless, sat in the back of the truck. After the truck pulled up beside him, he kicked the rear tailgate off the pickup truck with force.

"A ten-year-old car, quality guaranteed! Get in, don't let those guys leave you far behind."

Zhou Bo patted the police dog squad's prized vehicle with a grin, leaving Lin Ge speechless.

However, the six police dogs seemed very familiar with the vehicle, easily jumping into the back cargo box without any help. They even seemed to know they were about to go for a drive, excitedly resting their heads on the chassis.

Left with no other choice, Lin Ge jumped in after him.

When his underlings are around, he usually doesn't choose to sit on a girl's lap. Therefore, even though the shock absorption in these two beat-up pickup trucks is particularly poor, and there's an idiot next to him who doesn't know how to help the cat, Lin Ge still endures the jolting sensation while crouching among the police dogs. Even when they suddenly hit a speed bump, sending the cat flying, he simply climbs onto Yingying's back, orders the dog to lie down immediately, and then sighs helplessly.

Life is tough for cats! The conditions at the Zhangshi Municipal Public Security Bureau are even worse than those at the Zhanghe Police Station.

Of course, the conditions at Zhanghe Police Station were actually similar before. It was only after Nie Guoqiang borrowed Lin Ge to the Southern Province for a period of time that the station was able to get new cars and equipment, making Zhanghe Police Station one of the wealthiest stations of its level in the area.

Half an hour later, the pickup truck finally arrived near the logistics park in Yangdian.

Before they could even rejoin the main force, Lin Ge could already see chaos ahead. Countless police officers were running, as were countless people in civilian clothes and work uniforms, and shouts and curses filled the air, leaving Zhou Bo and his companions dumbfounded.

"This means... the raid failed?"

Yuan Qu muttered to himself, then quickly jumped out of the car and directed the police dogs to get down and help.

The six dogs ignored him and all looked at their leader.

"That's... utter nonsense!"

Lin Ge stared at the scene before him, utterly exasperated. He hadn't expected a well-intentioned operation to turn into such a chaotic mess. But since things had already come to this, there was no point in complaining now; he just needed to get back to work.

One of the guys running this way saw another police car coming and quickly braked and turned around. Lingo jumped out of the pickup truck first and chased after the guy.

Six police dogs immediately followed, nimbly jumping out of the car and chasing Lin Ge toward the target, causing Yu Rong, who had just gotten out of the car, to feel a pang of heartache.

"Wang!"

"Wang Wang!"

The police dogs ran with great excitement, especially Qiqi and Guaiguai, who barked loudly and drooled everywhere as they ran. But their speed was second only to Lingo, leaving the other four dogs far behind.

The pale-faced suspect hadn't run ten meters when Lin Ge leaped up and stomped on the back of his head, sending him sprawling forward and sliding two or three meters across the concrete.

Qiqi and Guaiguai followed closely behind, each biting the man's calf, causing him to let out a bloody scream.

"here you go!"

Panting, Huang Yizhong caught up from the front, quickly handcuffed the man, and said while still out of breath, "Mimi, keep arresting people! Damn it, the Yangdian police are all useless, they leaked information and made a mess of the scene! We don't have enough manpower, so you guys just use words and don't hold back, just spare their lives."

There wasn't even time to put the man into the police car. Huang Yizhong looked around and found another target. He took a breath and quickly chased after him.

"Is this still a logistics industrial park? Surely not everyone here is part of a gang?"

The scene before him left Zhou Bo, who had followed, dumbfounded.

"Among those who travel all over the country in the logistics business, how many are honest and law-abiding people? Without some ruthlessness and a few henchmen, they're destined to be bullied when they go to other places. It's only because the regulations are strict now that things are better now. Before, even if half of these people were screened out and put in jail, most of them wouldn't be innocent."

Yuan Qu sneered and pulled up the guy whose face was smeared all over the ground. Seeing that Lin Ge had already led the police dog team to chase after another target, he could only sigh and follow along as an assistant, keeping an eye on the guys who had been bitten by the police dogs.

"Brilliant!"

Seeing Lin Ge tackle a guy trying to climb over the wall like a cheetah, Quan Chenghai gave him a thumbs up as he ran.

When he saw An'an and Jingjing tearing at a suspect's legs and pulling him backward, and heard the poor guy's screams, he couldn't help but shudder again and decided that he would never speak ill of the police dog squad again.

Although caught off guard, the detectives of the First Squadron of the Zhangzhou City Criminal Investigation Brigade were all elite officers. With the support of Lin Ge and his police dogs, the chaotic situation was quickly brought under control. After all, the suspect group only consisted of eleven or twelve people. Following the incident, the Yangdian Police Station actively rectified the situation, and the First Squadron arrived relatively quickly. Therefore, most of the suspects were apprehended before they could even escape the logistics park. Most of these guys didn't even know which crime they had committed that had exposed them; they had nothing to hide, and seeing others flee, they also ran, ultimately failing to escape the police's net.

However, the two leaders who received the news first had already escaped ahead of time.

This result undoubtedly infuriated Shao Yongkang.

"At least we blocked the main road, so they didn't have a chance to escape by car. They're probably still nearby; a thorough search will definitely catch them!"

Wang Jin, deputy director of Yangdian Police Station, looked embarrassed. It was indeed their fault this time. Who would have thought they'd run into this group going out to play cards? The two sides bumped into each other outside the logistics park, both caught off guard.

"You should have waited until we arrived before setting off. No one's going to take credit for what's rightfully yours!"

Shao Yongkang's face was as black as ink.

With a helpless sigh, he could only issue the order: "Expand the search area; those two guys can't have gone far. I'll call the Second Squadron again and ask them to set up roadblocks on the perimeter. Hmph! Luckily, this oversight wasn't too big, otherwise none of us would have fared well."

Wang Jin chuckled twice, watching the pitiful-looking suspects being shoved into police cars. He could only change the subject, saying, "Your municipal bureau is really something, those dogs they train are ruthless. I saw at least three suspects almost escape, but they were bitten back by these dogs."

"Ok?"

Shao Yongkang paused for a moment, then looked around: "Where's Mimi? Wasn't she just here? And where's Lao Quan?"

"team leader!"

Huang Yizhong's voice came through the walkie-talkie, sounding exhausted: "Mimi seems to have caught a whiff of those two people's scent and led the police dog squad out. Quan Chenghai didn't have time to report to you and went after them alone. I'm chasing after them."

Didn't they bring walkie-talkies?

Shao Yongkang was having a terrible headache dealing with the troublemaker Quan Chenghai. Why were all the soldiers in the First Squadron such muscle-bound idiots who didn't have brains? And the police dog squadron was the same. Cats and dogs can't talk, and neither can the three of you, you useless idiots?
"Ha ha……"

Wang Jin, standing to the side, could only continue to force a laugh.

To be honest, it was normal that everyone's equipment wasn't ready due to the suddenness of the incident. However, since the problem stemmed from Yangdian, Wang Jin couldn't agree with Shao Yongkang's suggestions. He could only ask his men to help guard the suspects, freeing up the First Squadron of the Municipal Public Security Bureau so they could set off again.

The warehouses and shops nearby, all with their doors open, were peering in this direction, clearly drawn to the chaotic scene involving the police. Seeing that the situation was under police control, they put aside their worries and pulled out their phones.

On the other side, Lin Ge, eyes narrowed, walked silently through a nearly abandoned chemical plant outside the logistics industrial park, followed by six equally silent police dogs. Further away were Yuan Qu and his two companions, each with a tense expression, not daring to utter a sound.

There is no doubt that abandoned chemical plants with complex environments are a good place for Tibetans.

There are no security cameras here, not even a single eyewitness. If they could find a hiding place, the police would have to search high and low to find the person.

However... for police dogs and cats, places without extra odors are the best places for them to demonstrate their fighting power.

In all his time as a police cat, the most complex location Lin Ge had ever encountered was actually near the Happy Rock Bar where Xie Lili had been kidnapped. The complex flow of people, coupled with the pungent smell of alcohol and various perfumes, prevented Lin Ge from immediately locating his target. If he hadn't been absolutely certain that Xie Lili's scent was present, even Lin Ge might have overlooked the inconspicuous string of beads left in the parking space. And if even Lin Ge had overlooked it, even if the police later found it during a closer inspection, they might have treated it as trash. After all, it was so worn out, and in the complex environment of a bar, it would have been understandable to assume it was discarded by a person.

Compared to that previous situation, this small factory posed no challenge for Lingo.

What's a complex, maze-like environment that gives the police a headache is just a simple 3D map in Lin Ge's mind. It's like determining the destination first and then finding the path, reducing the difficulty by more than ten times.

"Woo..."

Yingying suddenly growled, apparently having also caught the scent of the target. As expected of a veteran member of the Zhangzhou City Police Dog Squadron, her skills were indeed superior to the other younger members.

It excitedly made a charging motion, but was stopped by Ringo.

There were two suspects in total, and arresting only one wouldn't meet Lin Ge's requirements. The commotion from arresting one would allow the other to escape, and given that he didn't know if they were armed, Lin Ge decided to be cautious. He hoped to capture both suspects in one fell swoop.

'clang! ’

A very faint metallic clang made Lingo and the six police dogs raise their heads and prick up their ears.

Before them stood the largest building of this abandoned chemical plant, a six-story structure filled with a dense network of steel frames, metal walkways, and staircases. Aside from long-time employees, probably no one knew exactly how many passageways or entrances were inside. Add to that the various abandoned control vessels and storage tanks, and it was impossible to know if the interior had been thoroughly cleaned or if any dangers remained. Lin Ge vividly remembered when he first met Luo Jue, Qian Wei had accidentally stepped into a puddle of lime water, burning his foot badly. And this kind of chemical plant… surely contained even more hazardous materials that most people wouldn't recognize?
Glancing to the side, Lin Ge saw more than one skull and crossbones hazard sign. Although the signs were blurred due to time and abandonment, Lin Ge was certain that whoever abandoned the factory was not in the mood to thoroughly clean it up.

'clang! ’

Another clanging sound of metal plates hitting each other rang out as the target began climbing the upper levels of the factory. Lin Ge wondered why he had chosen such a desperate location; with the police blocking his way from below, was he really going to fly away?

"what?"

Just as he was thinking this, Lin Ge stared in disbelief as a figure appeared at the escape route on the fifth floor. Although it was only a fleeting glimpse, he clearly saw the person hang something on a nearby metal material pipe before retreating back inside.

The other end of the material pipeline leads to the roof of the adjacent two-story building. The connecting pipeline from the fifth floor to the second floor forms a slanted strip at least fifty or sixty meters long with a very steep angle. If Jackie Chan had the skill and courage, he might be able to slide down it directly.

Clearly, this guy was hoping to lure the police to the sixth floor and then escape through this pipe.

But... now that he's been discovered, his ambition to escape is nothing but a fantasy.

"Then... what about the other person?"

Lin Ge didn't plan to take the initiative, but he didn't mind finding the locations of both suspects so that they could be arrested when the backup team arrived.

To be honest, after being a police dog for so long, he knew that individual heroism wasn't popular in the police force; in fact, it was often met with criticism. So, in the beginning, he would sometimes try to show off his skills and abilities. But now… going out on missions with his underlings was the best approach. Especially after returning from Zhuzhou City, he missed the exhilarating feeling of leading the police dog unit, and therefore rarely acted on his own anymore.

"Holy crap, don't get me killed!"

"Don't worry! Hide well and don't make a sound. I'll come to rescue you when it's safe!"

"Don't just think of yourself! I'm warning you, I have something too. If something happens to me, you'll be in big trouble!"

"Shut up! Be patient and stay away, don't scare yourself!"

"Then let's turn off the valve. I'm warning you, don't let it flow in anymore."

"Long-winded!"

The faint sounds of conversation coming from upstairs, along with the whirring of mechanical springs, didn't escape Lin Ge's ears. The police dogs also heard the conversation, but unlike Lin Ge, they didn't understand the other person's meaning.

Lin Ge laughed.

Hide and seek? What a great game!
These two guys probably escaped early enough that they didn't know the city police had brought police dogs with them. Of course, it's also possible that the Zhangzhou City Police Dog Squadron is usually too 'low-key,' so they simply didn't realize that Zhangzhou City had a police dog team.

Jackie Chan and Voldemort, aren't they both easy prey for me?
Seeing that Quan Chenghai had finally led Shao Yongkang and the main force to the factory, Lin Ge's eyes lit up and he began to have a plan.
