Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 477 The Scene of the Collapse
Amidst the gasps of the fans, a group of cats blocked the IPX group at the exit gate, effectively shutting them out.

Lin Ge let out a piercing roar, which even made the nearest fans frown and cover their ears.

The three members of the IPX group and their bodyguards, who were at the forefront of the attack, stared in astonishment at the scene, seeing these cats, who had inexplicably appeared at the service counter, blocking their way.

Especially the fierce look in the eyes of the cat at the front; even a single glance was enough to send chills down one's spine. The cat's eager, claw-sharpening appearance startled the bodyguards, who instinctively shielded their three employers behind them.

"What...what's going on?"

The youngest member of the IPX group stared in astonishment at the commotion caused by a few cats, not understanding what was going on.

"Mimi...Mimi?"

Li Siyu watched this scene in surprise, not understanding why Mimi suddenly rushed out. But then she suddenly remembered something, and with a start, she quickly pressed the button on the walkie-talkie on her chest.

"No need, we've already seen it, we're on our way!"

Wei Zhengxun's voice was calm yet tense, accompanied by the sound of orderly running.

Sure enough, a large group of police officers quickly arrived at the scene in Li Siyu's sight. Without hesitation, they surrounded all the members of the IPX group and blocked the exit, preventing anyone from entering or leaving the scene.

"What...what happened?"

Exclamations erupted from the fan group. Seeing the police blocking everyone's way, they couldn't help but feel a little scared.

"Officer, hello. We're from Beijing Huanyu Entertainment Company. I'm the manager of the IPX boy band. We're here in Chu City at the invitation of the organizers to participate in a concert. Excuse me, could you please tell me what happened? And who are those cats behind you...?"

A capable woman in a suit walked out from behind. Her expression changed slightly when she saw this scene. She gestured to the person next to her to call her superiors while cautiously approaching Wei Zhengxun.

"The police are investigating a case, please cooperate. Also, put your phone away, don't make me take coercive measures."

Wei Zhengxun stared expressionlessly at the man, then glanced at the assistant who had just dialed the number. The man gave an awkward smile, put his phone away, and obediently remained still, not daring to move again.

Everyone was quickly brought under control, even the young men and women who were fanatical fans quickly calmed down. Even the most naive among them knew that the police coming to their door meant something was wrong. Could it be that the idols they had finally come to like again would suddenly fall apart like their predecessors?
Seriously? Why is it so hard to be a fan these days?!
A young girl's eyes suddenly reddened, and she inexplicably thought of the ex-idol she had spent a lot of money chasing after last year, who was suddenly exposed to be working as a sewing machine in prison and had disappeared without a trace ever since.

This IPX is one she's been choosing for a long time! And this time, it cost her just as much money!
"No way! The last guy was a solo idol, so he got seduced by those sluts and did something wrong. This time I specifically chose a group that looks super gay. Even if you like men, you shouldn't like those women!"

The little girl wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Mimi, is it them?"

Wei Zhengxun brought the scene under control before approaching Lin Ge. If these people were connected to the Tiger virus, then probably no one in the entire arrival hall would be able to leave. Even those who had just left would have to be tracked down immediately.

"Ow~"

Lin Ge shook his head, not intending to frame him. But he still kept a close eye on the pretty boy called Haotian, preventing him from leaving.

Wei Zhengxun immediately understood, realizing that the cat had probably discovered something else. But this made no difference to the police; now that the target had been identified, all that remained was to follow that lead.

Of course, Wei Zhengxun did not immediately release the others, but steadily walked up to Haotian and stared down into his eyes.

Haotian and his assistants all lowered their heads guiltily, their attitude clearly indicating that they had something on their minds, to the point of admitting their guilt without being asked.

"Is there anything you need to explain?"

Wei Zhengxun didn't care who this guy was, he just stared at him and slowly asked. It would be best to resolve this matter on the spot, otherwise no one knew what kind of trouble these ignorant young men and women on the outside might cause.

"I...I didn't do anything, don't frame me!"

Haotian quickly raised his head and stubbornly said, "What's going on? I just got off the plane less than ten minutes ago, and I haven't even left the airport area yet. What is there to explain? Besides, so many people have been watching me all this way. What bad things could I possibly do!"

"This guy confessed without being asked!"

The police officers behind Wei Zhengxun shook their heads inwardly. This man was deliberately emphasizing that he had not done anything wrong at the airport, which proved that he had done something he should not have done elsewhere.

Sigh! Young people are just young people, they can't keep their composure.

Wei Zhengxun ignored Haotian and looked at the people next to him, saying, "So what about you guys? Don't you have anything to say? Confessing now is considered turning yourself in, but things might be different once you get to the station."

The other two members of IPX quickly shook their heads, the youngest of them even on the verge of tears. With such a timid personality, it's baffling why they insist on being idols. But for some reason, seeing this pitiful figure, the breathing of the female fans nearby became heavier.

The manager, who was standing to the side, kept changing expressions. He suddenly realized something and his face turned very unpleasant. Seeing Haotian's guilty look, he could only stomp his foot and try to get closer again.

Unfortunately, she hadn't taken two steps when a deep bark from behind startled her.

He quickly turned around and saw a large, fierce-looking black dog staring menacingly at him. The dog's eyes gave the impression that it was about to pounce at any moment, so the agent immediately stopped.

She turned her head again to look at the cat wearing a police vest and glaring angrily at her, which was crouching not far in front of her, and couldn't help but steal a glance with some disgust and resentment.

"Dare to glare at me?"

Lin Ge saw the manager's expression and knew that this guy probably knew what her idol had done. She also knew that once that matter was exposed, the concert would be over. Losing money was a minor matter; the most painful thing for her was seeing her hard-earned cash cow vanish into thin air. Even worse, she herself might very well be involved!

Lin Ge sniffed again, but couldn't detect any poison on the agent. However, this person was definitely suspicious; he'd better not let her get away easily.

Having made up his mind, Lin Ge quietly watched as Wei Zhengxun hurried to deal with the matter.

Soon, under Wei Zhengxun's orders, the celebrity, bodyguards, agents, assistants, and other large group were led to a nearby inspection room. The outer room of the inspection room was separated by a glass partition, allowing people to see inside from the outside, while the inner room was completely sealed off. This kind of place was fully equipped with standard inspection equipment. The baggage inspection, blood tests, and drug tests were quickly completed, and Haotian's face twitched suddenly.

Wei Zhengxun, glancing at the scene out of the corner of his eye, quickly understood what was going on. Especially after the cat lazily yawned and returned to its original position, Wei Zhengxun immediately understood why Mimi had stopped this person. So it was a poisonous insect!
Tsk tsk! Why would a perfectly good idol have to do something like drug use?

Sure enough, less than two minutes later, Haotian's blood reacted on the test strip to detect ceramide. This scene caused an uproar among the fans watching outside, who watched with utter despair as their idol went from a big star to a drug addict. When the airport police handcuffed him, apart from a few foolish fans who were still defending Haotian or even questioning the police, everyone else fell silent and turned away.

At this point, they certainly couldn't leave. To prevent any accidents, they all had to undergo tiger virus screening before they were allowed to leave.

Unexpectedly, they were also implicated, and the fans immediately began to hurl insults at Haotian. Then, an assistant couldn't help but step forward and confess, revealing that Haotian had lured the fans, leaving all the fans present stunned.

Seeing Haotian kneeling on the ground, covering his face and weeping, while his two companions kept their distance, the so-called loving relationship within the IPX group was clearly nothing more than that. Suddenly, all the fans' affection for this idol group shattered. Young girls stood there, sobbing as they watched their idols. Some quick-thinking fans grabbed the organizers of the airport welcome event, demanding refunds, while many others just wanted to leave this heartbreaking place as soon as possible.

Lin Ge saw the despair in his fans' eyes, but he felt nothing. Throughout history, how many people have been worthy of admiration? Compared to them, mere idols are nothing!

This incident came and went quickly. Wei Zhengxun acted swiftly and decisively, arresting Haotian and all related personnel in front of the fans, regardless of how much of a stir this would cause online.

Right now, the Chu City police department is focused entirely on the Tiger virus; they don't have time to consider the fans' feelings or the impact of their idol's scandal on him, his company, or even his fans. Besides, drug addicts and sex fiends don't deserve sympathy!

Wei Zhengxun didn't even arrange for anyone to comfort the group of fans, leaving them there crying and making phone calls in despair while forcing them to wait.

Three hours had passed by the time everyone at the scene had finished their virus tests. Only after confirming that everyone was healthy did Wei Zhengxun let them leave. Seeing these fans, heartbroken after witnessing their idol's downfall and being stranded at the airport for hours, no one at the scene showed them any sympathy.

This matter ended as quickly as it came, like a brief interlude.

None of the police officers took the matter seriously. However, the airport ground staff and other personnel who learned of the incident were somewhat surprised by the police's attitude, efficiency, and style. Ordinary people, especially those unaware of the existence of the Tiger virus, were completely unexpected that the police would handle the situation so rudely. There were several foreigners present; what if word got back home and this became a bad reputation?

"So what! He's just a mass-produced idol, why take him so seriously! So what if his career collapses? Does the country's reputation have to be earned by someone like him?"

Lin Ge sneered disdainfully.

Just then, an announcement came over the loudspeaker that a flight from Europe was about to land.

All flights from abroad need to be closely monitored. Not only Lin Ge and Wei Zhengxun, but also all the police dogs and their handlers quickly returned to their posts and were on high alert.

After a flurry of activity that nearly blinded them, no problems were found. Aside from a 'nutritional supplement' carried by a Black athlete that was temporarily confiscated pending formalities, the individuals were ruled out as carriers of the Tiger virus.

The following day, with the Games about to open, there were more international flights arriving than the day before, and the number of people was also greater and more diverse.

Lin Ge kept his eyes wide open, not daring to be careless, but still couldn't find any suspects carrying the Tiger virus. He was just lucky to spot another target with a history of drug use. He didn't know how this guy had passed the drug test in his country, but Lin Ge could confirm his recent drug use on the spot. The airport police then notified the sports event organizers; this guy was likely going to have made a wasted trip and miss the event.

For the next three days, Lin Ge stubbornly persevered at the service counter. When he was tired, he would lie down and take a nap; when he was hungry, he would eat some cat food or ask Li Siyu to buy him some hot food. Except for a short time when he needed to leave for personal hygiene, Lin Ge's eyes never left the exit for even a second. He patiently persisted like Doraemon, and fortunately, apart from being a little mentally exhausted, he didn't feel anything unusual about his body for the time being.

Li Siyu stayed with Lin Ge in the lobby, only taking a short nap in the airport police station's lounge when she was extremely tired in the middle of the night. After three days without even a chance to shower, Li Siyu vaguely felt that she smelled a little musty.

Seeing Mimi so persistent and unwilling to leave, and with the patrolling police and dog handlers patrolling day and night, Li Siyu couldn't bring herself to say anything selfish.

The thought of backing out never even crossed Li Siyu's mind.

She knew the situation, and that the current calm was merely the calm before the storm. Even though the sports meet had officially begun outside, it wasn't time to let her guard down here. The fact that the enemy hadn't infiltrated the athletes' groups into Chu City was slightly unexpected. But this only proved that their plan was more dangerous than anticipated, and now was not the time to be careless.

Sure enough, the very next day, a large number of foreign tourists flocked to Chu City.

Because starting today, several of the most important events of the Games will officially begin. Foreigners aren't always free either; if they want to watch the games, they have to plan their time carefully and arrive just in time.

And without a doubt, entering Chu City as a tourist is the most convenient and least suspicious method of entry for the suspect.

Then... when an international flight from South America arrived at Chu City Tianchi International Airport, and passengers of various skin colors walked from the passageway to the vicinity of the exit, Lin Ge suddenly widened his eyes.

The tiger virus has really appeared!

"Ouch!"

Ignoring the impact on others, Lingo stood up and roared to the sky. Bystanders watched curiously, while the airport police, who already knew Mimi's identity and its purpose for being there, quickly closed the exit without hesitation.

At the same time, the plane that had just disembarked its passengers, as well as the passageway from the plane bridge to the corridor and almost all other entrances and exits nearby, were all closed!
Although this scene wasn't rehearsed, in reality, personnel from the Tiger virus prevention and control department are on duty day and night at every key location. Even without any concrete information, even just a strange meow, everyone acted almost simultaneously. According to the pre-arranged plan, a large group of masked police officers appeared at the exit, quickly separating every passenger in the passageway. Then, officers with police dogs and armed police carrying riot control weapons also appeared almost simultaneously, bringing everyone in the entire corridor and even the entire exit hall under surveillance.

For a moment, the passengers and staff, who were unaware of what had happened, all stared in disbelief at the scene.

"Is this... an arrest for some internationally wanted criminal?"

A foreigner stared wide-eyed and muttered to himself.

He reflexively took out his phone to take a picture, but was sternly stopped by a nearby police officer who happened to be watching.

After taking these people under control, Wei Zhengxun hurriedly appeared. However, he did not take them all away, but instead turned to look at Lin Ge, who had jumped down from the service desk.

Every time this cat jumps down from the service counter, it means it has spotted a criminal. In just three days, it has identified five criminals of various minor and serious offenses among passengers arriving at Tianchi International Airport from both China and abroad. However, this cat has never roared like this before, nor has it ever walked towards the group of foreigners detained in the corridor like this. Furthermore, the cat's movement is in a straight line, indicating that it has already located the criminals from a great distance.

"Can it smell the Tiger virus from 40 or 50 meters away? Isn't this cat's ability a bit too outrageous?"

Wei Zhengxun couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Then he watched as Lingo, accompanied by several police dogs, several police officers, and several armed police officers carrying riot control weapons, approached a brown-skinned woman who looked uneasy.

"Is this person the suspect?"

Wei Zhengxun frowned.
