Chapter 37: Chapter 37: The Cat That Died and Came Back to Life



Xue Mo walked back from the third floor to the second floor and approached Beifei. After a pause, he stopped, looked around, then lowered his head, lifted a corner of the shoebox, and a trace of puzzlement appeared on his face.

Lu Hong, who had been following beside him, looked very anxious. He urgently asked, "Brother Xue, is the cat here dead or alive? Where exactly is Lai Wuying?"

Xue Mo glanced into the shoebox again, his puzzlement deepening.

After a moment, he asked softly, "Where is my cat?"

Lu Hong was stunned and asked, "What do you mean 'your cat'? Isn't your cat inside the shoebox?"

"It's gone," Xue Mo shook his head.

"Is it dead?"

"No... it's not dead."

Xue Mo looked around and couldn't find his cat anywhere.

"My cat, where is it?"

Xue Mo repeated, appearing somewhat slow.

"Ah? How can you say it's gone just like that? But... but I didn't see your cat run out of the shoebox either!"

Lu Hong was even more anxious than Xue Mo. Whether they could catch Lai Wuying this time depended entirely on the life and death of Xue Mo's cat.

"Brother Xue, can your cat still run away from home?" Lu Zhiwei asked curiously.

Xue Mo shook his head in confusion. He himself didn't understand; such a thing had never happened before.

"Everyone, hurry up and help look for Xue Mo's cat."

Lu Hong adjusted his glasses and spoke urgently.

The plainclothes law enforcers looked baffled at this command.

They were supposed to come and arrest Lai Wuying, but all of a sudden, they were preparing to search for a cat.

While Beifei found it strange, he suddenly realized something, turned his head, and then couldn't help but cry and laugh.

Xiaohei was on his shoulder, viciously beating up a little calico cat, furiously attacking.

"Xiaohei, what are you doing?"

"Woof Woof Woof!"

Xiaohei proudly pinned the little calico cat under its foot.

"All units, be advised! The cat is dead!"

Lu Hong slapped his thigh in deep sorrow.

But soon, Xue Mo's expression brightened again: "The cat is alive!"

"All units, be advised! The cat is alive!"

Lu Hong got excited again.

Xiang Beifei: "..."

For some reason, he always felt this group seemed a bit foolish.

Xiang Beifei shook his head slightly, thinking that relying on them to catch Lai Wuying was too difficult.

Lai Wuying had been running amok in various jurisdictions of Liangzhou, committing crimes everywhere. Law enforcers in each jurisdiction were eager to apprehend him, but without exception, all had failed.

This time, he popped into their jurisdiction, and Xue Mo predicted his crime location. Without much preparation, Lu Hong and the others came to execute the capture operation, relying only on Xue Mo's abilities.

At Lu Hong's side, Xue Mo's capabilities determined the success or failure of the mission.

Xue Mo's system was still not perfect; to enhance the precision of his predictions, he needed to undertake more missions and enhance his level.

Perhaps in the future, if his skills improve, he might become a great prophet, but certainly not now.

Currently, he could only predict that Lai Wuying would come here, but he could not predict the exact location of his appearance, nor could he predict what Lai Wuying looked like or why he came here.

This brought too much uncertainty to the capture operation.

Lu Zhiwei, standing on the shopping mall railing, sighed and nudged Xiang Beifei with her elbow, asking, "Beifei, any clues?"

"No, I feel like your operation is doomed to be futile if it continues this way," Xiang Beifei said.

Lu Zhiwei turned her head to look at the anxious Lu Hong and said, "Actually, I kind of knew this, but capturing 'Lai Wuying' is very important to my dad. I think he'll be really down for a long time if this operation fails, and he probably won't give up."

This isn't to say the law enforcers are incompetent; if it were just an ordinary petty thief, someone like Lu Hong with an 'S-level Investigation System' would have already caught him.

If one had to explain, it should be said that Lai Wuying had a somewhat superior ability to deal with law enforcers.

After all, a criminal worthy of being on Liangzhou's most-wanted list is no ordinary person.

Lai Wuying has been so brazen, making all the law enforcers run around in circles, surely because he has obtained some information on how to counter these law enforcers, and most likely, his system abilities are very tricky.

And this system might be one that counters law enforcers, probably also S-level.

But the problem is, until now, the law enforcers haven't collected any effective information about him; they don't even know what he looks like.

If they don't figure out what this system is, even if they find Lai Wuying, he will still escape, relying on the cat's death and revival.
