Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 371 Slaughtering Chickens
"Kid, you absolutely mustn't do anything foolish!"

Lin Ge stared at Wang Jun's retreating figure as he and his grateful father left together, feeling both anxious and helpless.

No matter how much we despise the woman who cheated Wang Jun out of money, as long as she is indeed a woman and not married, this matter can only be classified as normal interaction rather than fraud and extortion.

Regardless of how much money a boyfriend or girlfriend gives each other, as long as it is agreed upon by both parties and there is no coercion or deception, it is considered normal behavior in a relationship and is a moral issue rather than a legal one.

Even if the two break up, the only way to get the money back is through a personal lawsuit in court, not through the intervention of the police station or public security bureau.

Unless there is detailed evidence proving that the other party has engaged in fraudulent activities or is part of a group, the police cannot be of any help in this regard. Moreover, judging from Wang Jun's persistent demeanor, it's unlikely he will listen to police persuasion. The only question now is whether Wang Dali was aware of this matter?
"Wang Dali knew about this, and he also provided the 300,000 yuan that Wang Jun needed. After all, it was his son's infatuation, and as long as the girl on the other side was alright, what could he say?"

Zheng Mingxing sighed, suddenly feeling worried about his son. Although Zheng Jiacheng was only in elementary school, he would eventually go to college and find a girlfriend. What if he ended up with a troublesome one too?

"Is Wang Dali really certain that the other person genuinely likes his son?"

As a police officer, Nie Guoqiang instinctively became suspicious. After all, demanding 300,000 yuan in one go didn't sound like typical dating tactics for young people.

Zheng Mingxing shook his head. "Wang Dali said that the money wasn't for the girl, but for a joint investment. In other words, although it's for the girl to open a flower shop, the shop nominally belongs to Wang Jun. The girl herself agreed to this over the phone, so what can Wang Dali say?"

Having reached this point, Nie Guoqiang had no further comment. After all, since both parties had agreed to it, should the police forcefully interfere and forbid Wang Jun from having this kind of girlfriend?
The two men, each with only one son, exchanged a glance and decided to start strengthening their son's education from today onwards, determined to never allow him to cause similar trouble in the future.

"Aha~"

Seeing that there was nothing left for him to do, Lin Ge yawned and went back to the cat house.

When they got back, they found that the Snowclaw Tiger Grouper had somehow gotten hold of a live crucian carp, which was still jumping and struggling on the ground. The Snowclaw Tiger Grouper and the Little Tiger Grouper went up to the fish and watched the poor fish struggle and wag its tail.

Before the little tigerfish could react, it ducked down and was slapped across the face by the crucian carp's tail. The tigerfish froze for a moment, then flew into a rage, swatting the crucian carp away with a single swipe of its paw, sending it flying and flipping over in mid-air.

The snow-clawed tiger-striped fish leaped and thrashed around behind the fire, but stubbornly refused to get any closer to the crucian carp.

Not far behind the two cats, the little tortoiseshell cat lay lazily, pretending to sleep. It only perked up when Lin Ge entered, rushing over to him and nuzzling him affectionately, even pressing its head against him as if questioning why he hadn't come back last night.

"Meow!"

The two little rascals casually called out to Lin Ge as a greeting, then continued playing with the unlucky crucian carp.

"Alright! I'm back now, aren't I? And you're a grown woman now, you should go out and see the world more often. Oh, and by the way, don't hang out with those jerky cats! As for finding a boyfriend, you're a million years too young!"

Lin Ge played with the little hawksbill turtle for a while with a smile, then quickly remembered something and gave it some serious instructions.

As the head of the family, he was constantly worried about these little rascals. The troublesome tabby was one thing, but the snowclaw tabby was also becoming increasingly mischievous. The only difference between the two was that one caused trouble at the police station while the other caused trouble outside; neither was as well-behaved as his own little hawksbill turtle.

Last time, when Lin Ge and Zhao Zhigao went undercover together, Little Tortoiseshell did a very good job. However, as its parent, Lin Ge hoped that Little Tortoiseshell could go out and see the world occasionally, instead of always staying at home like a shut-in cat.

"Meow~"

The little hawksbill turtle nudged Lin Ge with its head, seemingly very angry that Lin Ge treated it like a homebody cat.

"What's wrong with staying home a little? I think it's obedient and sensible, which is already very cute!"

Li Siyu picked up the little hawksbill turtle and gently comforted the little guy who felt wronged because of Lin Ge's criticism. The little hawksbill turtle and Li Siyu got along well, and the turtle let Li Siyu scratch its chin and even made satisfied purring sounds.

"Exactly! If Beibei could be as easy to take care of as the little hawksbill turtle, I would have a much easier time. But this guy's activity level is a real headache for me. I take him for a walk every day and he's still not satisfied."

Sun Chang took a breath and glared at Lin Ge with displeasure.

Lin Ge ignored the two women who spoke so carelessly, and looked around to find that Mother Tortoiseshell was not home again. He wondered what was going on with her and Money Tree lately, always leaving early and returning late – what were they up to?

That is to say, the two female cats returned peacefully every night; otherwise, Lin Ge would really worry that something might have happened to them.

However, Lin Ge also found it troublesome to have her mother, the hawksbill turtle, staying at home every day. The constant staring from behind, as if she were a heartless man, was quite embarrassing for Lin Ge. Now that she had found new amusement, she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"You're just a eunuch!"

Sun Chang glared at Lin Ge, annoyed by his lack of ambition.

Lin Ge wanted to argue, but he had nothing to say. In any case, he couldn't completely accept himself as a male cat, so he just let it drag on. After all, female hawksbill turtles do have kittens, and they don't have to keep having kittens all the time.

"But you can't say that! The mother cat is well aware of the threat the male cat poses to the kittens. If Mimi really got her pregnant, she would definitely run away with these kittens as soon as possible, right?"

Seeing Lin Ge's embarrassment, Li Siyu quickly offered an explanation.

"Oh right, these kittens aren't Mimi's babies."

Sun Chang suddenly realized.

"Huh? How did you know?"

Li Siyu was stunned for a moment.

"Because Director Nie did DNA testing on them all! He did it during their last physical exam. We did it on all of us too, right? After all, DNA testing is one of the most commonly used methods for solving cases and finding missing persons these days, isn't it?"

Sun Chang offered a few explanations.

Even though no police officer wants to be treated like a criminal, DNA data is an important supplement to national security and social order. It also serves as a serious deterrent to potential offenders, and sooner or later, the entire nation must ensure that no one is overlooked. At that point, police investigations will be much easier, because even the most cunning criminals cannot guarantee that they will leave absolutely no trace at the crime scene.

Li Siyu nodded thoughtfully, while Lin Ge rolled his eyes fiercely.

How could you possibly suspect that the little tiger-striped kittens are your own offspring? What kind of thinking is that, you bastard Nie Guoqiang! You can see it with your own eyes, how could a hawksbill turtle and a silver shaded cat possibly produce a tiger-striped kitten, you bastard!

Lin Ge didn't want to pay attention to these two women who were just idly chatting. He was determined to get revenge on Zhang Ke and Li Yiduo. Before he could even stroll over to the heater to rest, he suddenly heard Sun Chang exclaim in surprise.

"What did you say? More than fifty cats, all of them were spayed/neutered?"

Sun Chang's voice was filled with shock, and Lin Ge felt a shiver run down his spine upon hearing it. He had never expected Huang Qi to be so efficient, managing to eliminate such a large group of cats in Li Yiduo's villa in just a few days.

"Kukuku...you didn't see how funny it was to see so many cats wearing Elizabethan collars. Oh, and I even took some pictures, look!"

Li Siyu covered her mouth and chuckled, then took out her phone to show Sun Chang.

The main thing was that the pet cats were all more obedient than expected; they never once licked their companions' wounds. So, seeing how well-behaved they were, Huang Qi was naturally eager to make a clean cut.

So for the past few days, he's been shuttling between his shop and Li Yiduo's villa, swiftly and decisively eliminating all the cats. He didn't spare a single one, including the two show-quality Ragdolls worth over ten thousand yuan. The only pity was that the Welsh cat had already been spayed/neutered, depriving Huang Qi of another opportunity to take advantage of these rare cats. That bastard Huang Qi even went so far as to collect the testicles of over twenty male cats in a metal tray and send it specifically to Li Yiduo.

"Fuck!"

The sight of a pile of bloody testicles made Sun Chang unable to help but swear.

Lin Ge originally didn't want to watch, as the thought of such a scene sent chills down his spine. But curiosity killed the cat, and seeing the two women whispering together with their heads close together, Lin Ge curiously crept over.

When he sneaked up behind Li Siyu and couldn't resist grabbing her back to stand up and peek inside, he saw a very exaggerated scene.

Countless cats lay or stood in the room, each wearing Elizabethan collars of various colors. Those that had undergone surgery several days prior were already moving around normally, while those that had just had surgery remained motionless, looking utterly lifeless and comical. Lin Ge even spotted 16,000 and Princess in one of the pictures; the two Ragdoll cats lay quietly on the sofa, ignoring Li Siyu's attempts to take photos. Furthermore, the house had been filled with many new items, such as a long row of an exaggerated number of automatic food feeders and a long row of water bowls. Then, one of the rooms had its walls covered with corrugated cardboard scratching paper, rapidly lowering the overall quality of the villa. "Heh... if these cats live here for too long, this house will probably be uninhabitable and unsellable, right? So much cat odor permeating the house; even with ventilation for a long time, it'll be difficult to completely dissipate."

Lin Ge thought gleefully, while also expressing his utter contempt for Li Yiduo's nouveau riche attitude.

At this moment, Li Siyu suddenly pulled out the plate of testicles that shocked and even terrified the cat!

"Ow!"

Lin Ge screamed in fright and even jumped high in the air. The little tabby, who had just been planning to sneak away, was startled by its father's actions and quickly shrank back, then pretended to lie down next to the snowclaw tabby and fiddle with its tail.

"Hahaha~"

Sun Chang and Li Siyu's prank succeeded, and they burst into unladylike laughter.

"Pfft...cough! That's hilarious! But speaking of which, Siyu, what did you guys do with all that stuff in the end? You didn't actually eat it, did you? I heard some people like to eat pig parts, but cat parts..."

Sun Chang pressed for more information out of curiosity.

"They definitely processed it and threw it away! Who could eat something like that!"

Li Siyu showed a look of disgust.

"Damn, that's terrifying!"

Lin Ge breathed a sigh of relief, glared fiercely at the two nasty women, then turned around and went to the side to doze off again.

The next few days were quite uneventful for Lingo.

As people returned to work, the peak period for police response gradually subsided. Only the Longquan Police Station near the train station remained slightly busy; the Zhanghe Police Station had gradually returned to normal. The cases the police station received daily were once again mostly trivial, everyday matters. The grueling overtime work of the officers was finally over, and they returned to their normal working hours, often working until 8 or 9 pm.

Lin Ge also went on several police calls, but they were mostly minor matters like finding lost items or neighborhood disputes. The only time he was busy until late at night was because a man was drunk and beating his wife. His wife's face was covered in blood, and several police officers and neighbors couldn't hold the drunken bastard back. Finally, Lin Ge couldn't stand it anymore and jumped up and slashed the man's face. The man was in pain and bled, which finally brought him to his senses.

Unexpectedly, the next day he claimed he was disfigured and wanted to cause trouble for Lin Ge and the police station, and then...

The police station showed no leniency and detained him for five days on charges of assault.

"Heh... This is what happens when you dare to cause trouble for me!"

Lin Ge watched smugly as the guy was taken away by the police from the detention center.

Unfortunately, this guy's wife was useless. Knowing her husband was going to jail, she actually spoke up for him, even denying that he'd been beaten. But by then it was too late; the hospital's injury assessment was out, and he was destined to spend the Lunar New Year in the police station. So, while enduring her husband's insults, the woman quietly begged the detention center police to go easy on her and asked if they needed any clothes. It was truly infuriating how spineless she was.

"Meow!"

The mother hawksbill turtle glared at Lin Ge, her expression conveying an attitude that said, "You're so lazy, it's really too much."

"Woo!"

The money tree chimed in, wagging its tail and standing on the same side as the mother hawksbill turtle.

"So... what have you two been up to all this time?"

Lin Ge climbed up from the warm, soft couch, looking helplessly at the two hostile female cats. They seemed to have more injuries on them now; had they been fighting these past few days? With whom? Who dared to bully them?
Lin Ge was somewhat annoyed. He hadn't expected that there would be cats around who wouldn't give him, the King of Cats, any face. Didn't they smell his scent on the female hawksbill turtle and the money tree? How dare they attack them?

"Meow!"

Mother Tortoise turned and walked to the door, then turned back to urge Lin Ge on.

Lin Ge had no choice but to obediently follow.

As Lin Ge walked further and further, his curiosity grew stronger. These two cats, who were afraid to take the bus, actually led him into the jurisdiction of Baimiao Police Station. They didn't stop there, but continued marching aggressively. Even more absurdly, from the moment they left the police station, several more cats appeared and quietly joined the group. The further they went, the more cats joined, gradually turning into an exaggerated scene of a dozen cats parading through the streets.

"Is this... the start of a mass brawl?"

Lin Ge felt a bit of a toothache, and to be honest, he had absolutely no interest in getting involved in this kind of thing. A police cat from a prestigious police station, having arrested so many criminals, was now going to get involved in some childish cat fight?
But in order not to disappoint the mother hawksbill turtle, and also because he was worried that the two of them might actually get hurt, Lingo had no choice but to obediently follow along.

As he walked, he kept looking back at the adult cats that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. These cats all appeared to have been tamed by the female tortoiseshell cat, following obediently behind him, yet their menacing aura made passersby quickly give way.

"Has this guy tamed all the cats in this area? What's the point of all this? Does he think sticking to me is boring, so he's planning to become the queen of the cats?"

Lin Ge was puzzled and curious.

Then, a group of cats, led by the mother tortoiseshell, arrived near a construction site that was half-finished and had been abandoned.

The construction site was littered with materials, which were blocked off by iron sheets. But these things couldn't stop the cats. The mother tortoiseshell cat skillfully found an opening, meowed once, and then ducked in first.

After Lin Ge crawled in, he found that it was a fairly spacious open space with some withered weeds on both sides and some scattered debris in the grass.

Then, right in front of you, on a high platform made of seven or eight huge cement pipes, a majestic-looking white cat was arrogantly squatting on it.

On the second level of the cement pipe, several adult cats were either squatting or standing, while a few smaller cats were scurrying in and out of the holes on both sides of the pipe. Upon seeing the large group led by the mother tortoiseshell cat, these cats warily stopped playing and quickly gathered around the white cat, assuming a defiant stance and confronting them.

"Meow!"

The mother hawksbill turtle spoke first without any hesitation, her imposing voice sounding like that of a gang leader negotiating.

"Hooo!"

The white cat opposite also raised its head and meowed, seemingly not intending to back down.

The two cats stared at each other angrily, their subordinates eager to fight, and the situation seemed about to erupt into violence.

"Hoo~woo?"

But at this moment, the white cat seemed to notice Lin Ge, its voice changing as it tilted its head in confusion.

"Meow!"

The mother hawksbill turtle's aura immediately intensified; she knew that bringing this creature along would definitely be useful.

"Ow~"

The money tree even adopted an aggressive stance, eager to take down the entire group of cats. This was actually an idea it gave to the mother tortoiseshell cat; to protect herself and her environment, she needed to become the queen of the cats.

"bluff~"

The white cat's voice changed again, becoming less threatening. It even jumped off the concrete pipe and slowly walked towards Lingo all by itself.
