Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 396 The Cat Team Reunites
Qian Siqi stared blankly at Lin Ge, her lips moving twice but she couldn't utter a word for a long time.

Lin Ge could see the anxiety in the child's eyes, and he could also tell that the child was truly troubled and conflicted. However, the municipal bureau and the local police station were already doing their best and working tirelessly to recover the case of his mother, so what more could they do for a child?

Is this kid still dreaming of joining the crime-solving team?
Jiang Yiyi made it very clear to him yesterday that what he needs to do now is to study hard, strive to become a good person, and not disappoint his mother's spirit in heaven.

So Lin Ge quietly watched Qian Siqi, neither urging him nor leaving, and waited patiently for him to finish preparing himself mentally.

"Huh? Qian Siqi?"

Lin Jia, standing nearby, saw Qian Siqi looking dazed and wondered what this senior student wanted to do by going to such lengths to call Mimi over.

"I……"

Qian Siqi was extremely anxious, mainly because he really didn't know how to put it. It was just a cat! Even though it was described as magical and amazing by his father and this junior student, did it truly understand what he meant?

"How am I supposed to know what you're going to do if you don't tell me?"

Lingo tilted his head and flicked his tail, showing great patience.

then……

Qian Siqi knelt down in front of Lin Ge with a thud.

"Fuck!"

Lin Ge was startled by the scene. The cat jumped more than half a meter high before quickly moving away from Qian Siqi. He never expected Qian Siqi to be so impulsive and reckless, actually kneeling down in front of a cat.

A man's knees are worth more than gold, you bastard! Qian Siqi, stand up right now!
Lin Ge was so anxious that he kept yelling.

Lin Jia, standing nearby, was also startled. She covered her mouth, took a step back, and stared in disbelief at the scene. Such a big boy kneeling down like that—it was too exaggerated and too unexpected!
"please……"

Qian Siqi's eyes quickly turned bloodshot, and tears were about to spill over. He rubbed them hard with the back of his hand, but this only made his eyes more bloodshot, making them look extremely ferocious.

"Please help me! Mimi! Please help me catch that bad guy! They...they all say you're amazing and incredible! So...you must...you must have a way to find him, right? Please..."

Qian Siqi gritted her teeth: "I don't know what I can do to get you to help, but I don't want that person to escape again. So... please!"

As Qian Siqi was about to kowtow, he braced himself with both hands on the ground. Seeing this, Lin Ge rushed forward and kicked him, knocking the startled bastard to the ground.

"Forehead……"

Qian Siqi was hit by the cat, her chest ached, but she was stunned, not knowing why the cat had hit her.

Seeing Lingo flick its tail and turn to leave, he looked up as if to greet it, but couldn't utter a single word. After all... having already knelt down and begged a cat, what more could he possibly do to satisfy it?

"Hehe... Qian Siqi, get up, the floor is filthy."

Lin Jia watched Lin Ge leave without stopping him or calling out to him. Seeing Qian Siqi's bewildered expression, she covered her mouth and whispered, "Mimi has already agreed! Although I don't know what you two are talking about, get up quickly! If others see this, they'll think I'm bullying you! Honestly, you can just tell Mimi what's going on; there's absolutely no need to do something so exaggerated..."

"It... agreed?"

Qian Siqi stared blankly as Lin Ge walked further and further away, listening to Lin Jia's rambling, and for a moment forgot to get up.

"Damn it! You scared the hell out of me! Qian Siqi, you bastard, do you think a man can just kneel down like that? Just say what you want. Do you think I'd refuse you when it comes to catching bad guys?"

Lin Ge grumbled and cursed all the way, but his pace quickened.

To be honest, he never expected Qian Siqi to do this, but then he thought about it and felt that the boy was quite pitiful and persistent. To avenge his mother, he was even willing to kneel before a cat; this way of thinking was simply incomprehensible!
But... it's for your mother after all, right?

Lin Ge slowed his pace and sighed. This little guy, like his father, was stubborn and obstinate. If he continued to let his mind wander, he might do something even more outrageous and terrible.

Moreover, even without his request, Lingo wouldn't have been able to ignore the matter.

Taking a deep breath and convincing himself, Lin Ge knew he had to find a way to resolve this. If that guy named Ma Dongzhi really escaped from Zhangzhou, Qian Wei would probably contemplate suicide, and the Zhanghe Police Station would lose all face.

Without further hesitation, Lin Ge turned around and headed towards the nearby Youcheng residential area.

The neighborhood remained as peaceful as ever, with elderly people making the most of the last rays of sunlight and cats basking in the sun and grooming themselves, coexisting harmoniously without disturbing each other.

Seeing Lin Ge approach, the cats meowed twice and quickly got up to greet him. This boss was never known for his good temper; if you did something wrong and angered him, you were bound to get a beating for no reason.

Hmm! But the food he had that human servant bring over last time was really delicious!

The big orange cat licked its lips and meowed affectionately at Lin Ge twice.

"What the hell are you yelling for! Gather everyone here, we've got work to do! Little Ragdoll over there, where's your dashing cat? That lazybones's always running off somewhere, we can never find him when we need him to do something important!"

Lin Ge let out two impatient howls, attracting the attention of all the cats and also drawing the attention of a few elderly people who were chatting.

Once they realized it was Lin Ge, they stopped worrying. After all, this cat was a familiar face that often ran around this area, and it was also the cat kept by the police station, so it was generally obedient and they didn't need to worry about it hurting anyone.

As Lingo called out, almost all the cats in the oil city community were summoned.

Besides the dozen or so stray cats, even several pet cats confined at home were anxiously banging on the windowpane. They desperately wanted to rush out and gather before their feline overlord, but their wretched human dared to keep them trapped…

Lin Ge ignored the guys and, seeing that there were almost enough cats to move around in the neighborhood, led them around and walked out.

They quickly returned to Zhanghe Police Station, only to find the white cat and its father there again. The white cat was grooming itself with the mother tortoiseshell cat, while the money tree sat aloofly nearby, its eyes revealing a hint of jealousy. Meanwhile, the large white cat, seeing the large group of cats behind Lin Ge, paused, even scrambling to its feet warily.

Lin Ge approached the big white cat and said bluntly without any ceremony, "Big White Boss, why don't you gather all your subordinates? I need your help from now on, and the more obedient and sensible cats the better!"

"Hooo!"

Whether the big white cat understood or not, it growled at Lin Ge, straightened its hind legs, and lowered its head.

It turned back to give the white cat another instruction, then ran straight out of the police station compound without looking back.

The cats that Lin Ge brought back weren't visiting this place for the first time. It didn't matter to them whose house it was; seeing that Lin Ge had no further instructions, they scattered and settled down around the trees in the yard, lazily awaiting orders.

"Hey! Mimi, you've called all your friends over again!"

Li Siyu was cleaning the cat house while wearing an apron. When she saw this scene, she quickly came out and, as was her habit, dragged out a long, narrow cat trough as well.

"Meow!"

As soon as the cats saw this, they knew there would be something delicious to eat, and they quickly gathered around Li Siyu.

"Keep an eye on these guys for now!"

Lin Ge breathed a sigh of relief, entrusted the cats to the mother tortoiseshell to keep them from running away, and then yelled at the money tree to stop it from causing trouble before hurriedly running out of the courtyard.

This time, he managed to hitch a ride on a crowded bus during rush hour. The queue outside and the bus itself were packed with people—it was an absurd sight. But being a cat, he didn't have to worry about being trampled or injured by simply squeezing under the seats. The drivers in the area knew about this hitchhiking cat, glanced at him, and then ignored him, starting their cars and leisurely driving Lin Ge to Zhangzhou University.

Just like before, Lin Ge roared and waited patiently for a while before gathering his underlings from Zhangzhou University as well. Unable to catch a ride back, Lin Ge could only lead this large group of cats through the city. There were many pedestrians on the street during rush hour, but seeing such a large group of cats arrogantly walking on the sidewalk, they quickly gave way while also taking photos with their phones. Lin Ge ignored them this time, only managing to recruit all the stray cats he encountered along the way. With others curiously joining in, the cat group grew even larger.

As they approached the Zhanghe Police Station, it was already getting dark. But when Lin Ge looked back at his group, the twenty-odd cats that had marched out in such a long line did look quite impressive.

Back at the police station, they found that the big white cat had already returned.

This guy was incredibly fast, and he had already brought all his henchmen with him. In an instant, nearly a hundred cats of various breeds and sizes had gathered in the courtyard of the Zhanghe Police Station. Some meowed to each other in greeting, some cautiously probed each other, and some, like bulls, started licking any unfamiliar cat. The scene was so shocking that the construction workers who were about to finish their work stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Li Siyu also stared at the scene in disbelief. It was the first time she had ever seen such an exaggerated number of cats, and she felt that her eyes had been opened.

She quickly took a picture of the scene and sent it to Li Yiduo, but only received an "oh" in response.

"All of you, behave yourselves!"

Seeing that the cats were becoming bolder as their numbers increased, and even brazenly trying to sneak into the police station's work area, Lin Ge quickly roared to make them behave.

The piercing howl made all the cats stop what they were doing and sit properly.

"Well!"

Li Siyu covered her mouth, feeling excited as she saw Lin Ge so imposing for the first time.

"Big White, Handsome Bro, Baka Cat, and you little ones, all of you better keep the team in check!"

Lin Ge glared at the leaders, making sure they organized themselves to avoid delaying the rest of the work. He also told the tabby cats, Little One, Two, Three, Four, and Five, not to cause any trouble in the group. This was simple for humans, but more complicated for cats; it took the cats quite a while to get all their followers under control. The tabby cats, in particular, only obediently sat down after Lin Ge gave them a couple of good slaps with his paws, whimpering as they did so.

Especially the dozens of cats under the big white cat's command, this was their first time participating in Ringo's activities. So when the other two groups of cats, who were already more experienced, settled down, they were still a bit restless, even eager to try and squeeze into the unfinished building.

"Hooo!"

Feeling humiliated, the big white cat got angry and rushed over to give its subordinates a series of slaps, finally calming them down.

Li Siyu quickly took out her phone and continued taking pictures, even posting the scene to the police station's group chat. Suddenly, everyone who was still working hard after their shift became interested, discussing what Mimi was planning to do with her underlings.

"Meow?"

Suddenly, a commotion arose behind the group of cats. Lin Ge looked up and saw that the female hawksbill turtle, who had somehow escaped, had brought many of her subordinates with her. These cats had participated in the confrontation with the big white cat last time, and now, seeing so many cats in the yard, they all showed expressions of both excitement and wariness. The female hawksbill turtle seemed to have less control over them; several cats turned and ran away when they sensed danger, and she couldn't stop them.

This resulted in even more cats in the yard, with a rough count showing an astonishing number exceeding three digits.

It took quite a while before the cats finally calmed down again.

"Oh! There's something I need to ask you all for help with!"

Lin Ge let out a howl, drawing the attention of all the cats. To be honest, being stared at by so many cats, their round eyes and big heads, was a little unsettling. But Lin Ge was a man of experience, so he remained calm.

"Later, I'll take you to find some monkeys. You need to remember their scent, and then search the entire city of Zhang for anyone who smells the same! If you find them, don't make a sound or act rashly, just come back and let me know..."

All the cats watched Lin Ge silently, unsure whether they understood what he meant.

Anyway, the cats around the police station and the cats at Zhangzhou University must have understood. After all, it wasn't the first time they had helped Lin Ge with his work, and they knew that there would be a pretty good reward after they finished.

The other cats followed suit and were quite patient and obedient at this point.

'Didi! '

Before Lin Ge could finish speaking, a bus and an SUV suddenly drove into the courtyard from the front and back.

The bus had a tour company logo on it, and the driver inside looked like he'd eaten shit. Around him, on the windshield and dashboard, several cats were perched, curiously looking around.

"Ah! My cat!"

Li Siyu exclaimed in surprise, actually recognizing several of them. Mainly, the Welsh cat and the two beautiful Ragdolls were just too eye-catching; compared to them, the other cats in the yard seemed like they came from a slum.

Li Siyu never expected that Li Yiduo would bring out all fifty-odd of his own cats at this time, to join in this crazy commotion.

"Mimi might need their help!"

Li Yiduo, who got out of the SUV first, didn't explain much. After meeting up with Li Siyu, he turned around and quietly looked at the incredible number of cats that had filled the entire police station courtyard.

Most of the cats had seen Ringo before, so with him in charge, there wasn't much trouble. They each settled down in their respective groups, and any occasional mishaps were quickly resolved under their leader's control, and order was soon restored.

"This is like a myth! So many cats... all watching Mimi and obeying her commands!"

Li Siyu secretly grasped Li Yiduo's hand, feeling a damp warmth in her palm. She probably already guessed what Lin Ge was going to do, but that's precisely why she was so excited.

"Forty-five...sixty-nine...ninety-eight...one hundred and twenty-four...one hundred and fifty-one...one hundred and seventy-two..."

Like a madman, Li Yiduo patiently and meticulously counted all the cats in the yard while Lin Ge was speaking. It was impossible to count them all accurately, but the number of more than 170 already shocked him.

Hmm! Speaking of which, there are more than fifty cats that he provided, making up a third of the cat population.

Just then, another police pickup truck drove into the yard, but the cats were no longer flustered after what had just happened. Besides, with a hundred or two cats gathered together, what was there to be afraid of? At this point, they would dare to cause any great disturbance.

The unusual smell inside the pickup truck did cause the cats to stir slightly.

Lin Ge felt relieved, knowing that Nie Guoqiang definitely understood what he meant. He had gathered so many cats together to make them work! Bringing the monkey back would save him the trouble of taking so many cats to Huang Qi's place.

"Fuck!"

Huang Qi, who got off the bus with Zhang Yong, stared in disbelief at the incredible scene before him.

Everyone says a hundred or two doesn't seem like much, but the spectacular sight of so many cats gathered together still greatly shocked him. Especially when so many cats turned around and stared at him at once, even Huang Qi, a cat killer, couldn't help but shiver.

Yeah! The main problem is that he personally removed the testicles of many of the cats here, and I feel like these guys might want to get revenge on him.

Huang Qi dared not utter another sound and quickly bent over to make himself less conspicuous. He went to Zhang Yong's side and helped Zhang Yong and Li Yiduo unload the iron cage from the back of the pickup truck. Inside the cage were three monkeys, who were also trembling with fear at the sight.

"Mimi, long time no see! I've officially applied to return to the police station! It really suits me better here!"

Zhang Yong grinned, giving Lin Ge a hearty smile. The police station felt a little unfamiliar after some time apart. But as long as the cat was still there, and as long as his colleagues were still there, he could quickly return to the work atmosphere.

"I already know what happened! You really need to show your prowess right now! So go for it, just tell me what you need me to do, and let's catch that bastard right away!"

As Zhang Yong spoke, he lifted the iron cage in front of Lin Ge and then quietly retreated to the entrance of the cat house.

"Smell them!"

Lin Ge didn't waste any time, mainly because he didn't know how long the cats' patience would last. Seeing that all the cats were staring at the monkeys, he didn't hesitate to give the order to search the entire area.
