After I died of old age, I was reincarnated into another world and became a cat

"You're the only one who likes to play tricks like this."

"So, are you coming or not?"

"Okay, if you let that guy get away, I'll give you that magic weapon."

"Magic soldier, you are so stingy~ I will be generous and give you 77's favorite bead."

"...After all, it's His thing. You can't use it as a bet even if you leave."

"You were the one who cursed Him the most when He left. Okay, I'm just kidding. Even from such a distance, I can sense your unhappiness. Actually, this bead was given to me by Him. It's not as precious as His own. How about a bet?"

"……good!"

A joyful spiritual wave came from the other side of the temple...

Chapter 56 Meow Meow Meow (Forty-nine)

"hateful!!"

Itfil kicked the door panel hard against the wall, and the door panel was instantly embedded in the wall.

The hiding place was empty, with provocative words written on the wall.

"I didn't expect this old fox to be so sensitive."

Itfil originally thought that by arresting many gangs together with his people, he could avoid alerting the enemy, but the facts slapped him in the face.

"It's getting big. All the people outside have been controlled, and the surrounding intersections have been blocked!"

At this time, a police inspector came in to report the situation outside to Itfil.

"Search their hideout to see if you can find any evidence or stolen goods. Take the rest back and interrogate them to find out the whereabouts of Li Gangmis!"

"Yes sir!"

Everything that happened was completely different from what he had expected, as if an external force had overturned everything that had been planned in an instant.

"Itfil, did you catch that guy?"

A familiar voice came from outside.

"Justice? Have you finished what you are doing?"

It turned out that when they were preparing to go for the interrogation together, Justis was summoned by the Chief Superintendent of Police, and the subsequent operations were commanded and executed by Itfil alone.

"It's nothing serious. The Imperial Capital Police Department wants to transfer me there. Just now someone from the Imperial Capital sent a letter saying that the Chief Police Officer wants me to come over to meet him."

Justis spread his hands.

"Just deal with it superficially."

"So you're getting another promotion?"

"It's just a horizontal transfer."

It was clear from Justis' tone that he didn't care about the matter, but Itfil also understood what this so-called horizontal transfer meant.

"That's the imperial capital. Maybe after this transfer, I'll have to call you Lord Viscount Justis from now on?"

Itfil was joking, but Justis didn't appreciate it at all.

"Oh, your breath is so disgusting."

"Tsk, you've been promoted so quickly, are you the illegitimate son of some noble family, and now they want to support you to take the top?"

There was something a little sour in Itfil's words, but Justis straightened his cloak with both hands.

"How is that possible? My father died a long time ago. I got to this position because of my wise and powerful judgment skills and my charming appearance!"

"vomit……"

"Besides, your promotion to the top is not slow. Did you find a godfather in the imperial capital?"

"Get lost! I got to this position because of my people-friendly attitude and my quick wit!"

Just after Justis arrived, after this fight, Itfil's depression was relieved a lot.

"So that guy ran away?"

"He ran away and left his men here as a smokescreen."

"This is troublesome..."

Although the police station stepped up searches at the city gates and posted wanted posters on the streets while announcing the arrest operation, the purpose of the wanted posters is often to remind ordinary people to stay away from these villains and provide information on the whereabouts of these criminals. After all, the other party is also a warrior with forest-level strength, and ordinary people are unlikely to risk their lives to catch that person for a small bounty on the wanted list.

A strict search of the city gates would certainly miss many places, and it would be impossible to be caught again.

"It's so annoying... What should I do..."

After the team was dismissed, Itfill lay on his desk, holding his hair in annoyance, while Justis stood beside him, putting all the case records on the other side of the desk.

La Luna was curled up on the side yawning.

(Is today over?)

Watching his master suddenly become happy at one moment and cry at another, he was thankful that when he was young in his previous life, he did not hesitate when faced with the special recruitment quota for the police academy, and insisted on becoming a lousy painter.

"Meow~"

(I was also an egoist in my previous life)

"Chief Inspector Itfield, you should go back and rest today. Thank you for your hard work."

"But what about the guy who ran away?"

When he heard Justis asking him to go back and rest, he felt a surge of anger when he thought of the smug look on the face of Ligangmis who had escaped.

"It's ok. The city gates will be closed after 2 a.m. During this time, there will be fewer people and the search will be very strict, so Li Gangmis has no chance to escape from the city. He must be hiding somewhere else now, waiting to get out of the city the next day when the flow of people is the heaviest."

Justis briefly analyzed the entire chess game. Now the city of Swell is a closed board, and Rigamis is a black chess piece in this board, but he is now hiding among the white chess pieces, ready to sneak out of the city with the white chess pieces at the best time.

Once the suspect runs out of the city, it means that his hiding places may be everywhere in the human empire, and it is almost impossible to catch him. There are still dozens of suspects at large on the wanted criminal list that he manages himself.

The fundamental reason is that the police force cannot extend its tentacles beyond the city, unless a group of bandits like the one who killed people on Shinto appear and attract the empire's high attention, thus forming a special cavalry capable of arresting people across the country.

All police superintendents can only arrest people within the area under their jurisdiction.

This has always been a sore spot within the police department.

"Okay, then I'll go back and rest, and you should go to bed early too."

Itefel stood up and straightened his clothes a little.

"La Luna, walk back."

After hearing Itfel's words, La Luna, who was originally drowsy, staggered to Itfel. Itfel squatted down and picked up La Luna.

"Then I'll see Vicomte Justis tomorrow."

"I told you not to call me that!!"

"Hahaha"

Leaving the frantic Justis behind, Itfil quickly ran out of the police station, but her expression became a little melancholy.

"Hey, is Justis leaving too?"

When I thought about my partner of many years leaving, even though this partner often annoyed me, I still felt a little reluctant to let him go suddenly.

Chapter 57 Meow Meow Meow (Fifty)

After returning home, Itfil left La Luna aside and went to the study to make some midnight snack. After eating, he took a shower and went to bed.

"Goodnight La Luna."

"Meow~"

La Luna responded with a whimper and continued eating her dried fish.

Seeing La Luna's serious look, Itfil yawned and ran back to his room and threw himself on the bed. After a while, he fell asleep.

"Meow~"

(Asleep?)

After feeling that Itfil's breath in the next room had gradually subsided, La Luna simply stopped acting and threw a few dried fish into her mouth and chewed them hard, then ran under the sofa and pulled out the book that she had hidden this afternoon.

"Meow……"

(It was really dangerous today. I was almost discovered.)

Fortunately, the situation had been dealt with by then. If he had returned a little later or earlier, Itfil would have seen all kinds of things in his room, including his panties and stockings, flying around in the air...

La Luna thought that if she was seen in this situation, she might as well just jump off the building and die...

He lay down on the book, then used magic to make the book float up and send himself to the study.

What I can be sure of now is that there is still room for improvement in the sophistication of my magical operations, but if I want to reach the surgical level described in the book, I will have to practice for some time. Moreover, I cannot use it directly after meeting the requirements. I must have an experimental subject to complete the first test first.

It will take time to complete all of this, so don’t be impatient. Anyway, you have already practiced fine-scale operations today, so you can read other books in the evening.

La Luna glanced past other professional books on the bookshelf and came directly to a shelf of miscellaneous books.

This bookshelf is full of books that are not related to magic skills, including the history of the continent and various other historical records, as well as some books on life tips and popular science books such as plant atlases.

It's also good to read it as a mythology book to relieve stress.

La Luna didn't choose, she just picked up a book at random from the bookshelf, lit a small fireball and started reading.

the next day, early in the morning

Itfil straightened his upper body from the bed, then quickly got out of bed, washed his face and dressed, took two pieces of bread, toasted them with magic, and put them in his mouth.

"La Luna! The food is in this bowl."

I called out but nothing happened. I don't know where the little guy has gone. My house is so small that I'm too lazy to look for him. Now I'm in a hurry to get to the police station...

However, after Itfil went downstairs and turned the corner, he met a police officer waiting for him there.

"Captain Itfill! Good morning."

"What are you doing here?"

Itfil knew this police officer. He was a subordinate of Justis. He had been a police officer when he first started working with Justis. He didn't expect that he would still be in this position for so long...

"Reporting to the Chief of Police, our boss asked me to wait here for you to tell him that there is good news after returning to the police station."

"That's it?"

The police officer nodded and left without saying anything.

What a cold attitude... I finally understand why he has stayed in this position for so long.

This kind of attitude cannot bring smiles to the people you are trying to protect!!

Let this guy go, what good news can Justis have? Did he stay up all night last night to catch Li Gangmis?

how is this possible

Itfil felt that compared to this, it would be more realistic for Justis to become a viscount.

Since the two places were very close, Itfil arrived at the police station in a short while, and Justis was waiting for him at the door of the police station.

"What good news do you have for me? Has the criminal been caught?"

However, Justis dragged Itfil into the police station with a strange look on his face and said nothing.

"Hey, you are talking."

When Itfil saw Justis's strange expression and behavior, he always felt that something was wrong.

"Wait a minute and you'll find out."

It was a meaningless sentence, just telling him to calm down, but the more Itefel was kept in suspense, the worse his mood became.

But no matter how bad my mood was, there was nothing I could do. I could only endure it and see what this guy was up to.

"What are you doing in the interrogation room? Did you really catch someone?"

Justis dragged Itfil through many twists and turns and finally arrived at the interrogation room in the police station.
