Meow Ba

Chapter 40
"Hey, it's really you, Orange."

"I haven't finished the training yet, you're entering the probationary period!"

That night, after the training, Lorraine smiled and gave Ron a big golden arch chicken leg as a reward, and then sent a video chat to his family.

Although it is not very far from home, only more than [-] kilometers, but the training is so busy that Lorraine has no time to go home.

Fortunately, there are instant video chat software in this era. Even if he can't go home, Lorraine can still communicate with his family face to face.

As for Fisher, after making an appointment with Melissa yesterday, he didn't go out because of Melissa's temporary business. Today, after Melissa sent Ron back, Fisher couldn't help but pull Melissa to make up for last night. My date is probably still eating a big meal on the food street.

"Well, Mom, I'm having a good time here."

"Although the training is a bit hard, I can learn a lot."

Aunt Susan is not very flexible with mobile phone operations. Lorraine sent it directly to her younger sister Catherine's mobile phone, asking Catherine to call her mother to video.

For her son whom she has not seen for two weeks, Aunt Susan expressed her earnest concern and kind condolences, and conducted various communication and exchanges on issues such as housing, food, and the economy. Learning about living and growing up offsite.

"Mom, you don't need to worry about Tangerine, he's better than me here."

"I'm still trying to pass the training, it's on probation."

"And I heard that when I was training, I could only hear that Juzi was so popular at the interview meeting for the mouse catcher of the paper archives of the Orange County Police Headquarters that he even got a nickname, [Orange Lightning] ]!"

Communicating with the family members on the screen of the mobile phone, Lorraine hugged the sleepy-eyed Ron from the cat nest, and raised his paw to greet the family members on the opposite side of the screen.

"Meow~"

Hearing Aunt Susan's voice, Ron, who was about to fall asleep, raised his head, called softly, and curled up on Lorraine's blanket and fell asleep.

Ron went to bed so early, not because he was tired, but because he was counting down the time. Starting tomorrow, Ron will be on duty in the paper archives on the sixth floor of Building [-]. Since most mice come and go at night, Ron Need to maintain full energy at night, naturally can only adjust sleep time to daytime.

But it is also difficult to adjust at once, Ron decided to adjust half of it tonight.

And looking at Ron's chubby figure on Lorraine's blanket, Aunt Susan asked another question, so Lorraine could only talk about him in embarrassment.

"Mom, the oranges are being exercised every day. Besides, there is no scale in the police station. I don't know how heavy the oranges are now."

"Don't worry, oranges are very healthy, I will supervise them not to eat too much."

"It's okay, I'll end the video, 88."

Waving goodbye to the family on the screen, Lorraine turned off the video, put Ron back into his cat bed, and sat on the bed flexing his shoulders and wrists.

Starting today is shooting training. After Officer Martin took the newly recruited officers to Building [-] and handed them over to Officer Dirk, he would be considered retired.

Compared to Officer Martin, Officer Dirk is relatively gentler. He is somewhat chubby with a broad back, thick arms, and a pair of extraordinarily wide, but not rough, palms.

After teaching the new police officers the correct way to hold rifles and pistols, they arranged a training volume of [-] rounds of ammunition per person per day. After the whole day, Lorraine's shoulders were red and swollen, and his wrists were sore. .

However, while moving his wrists and shoulders, Lorraine's eyes fell on the sleeping Ron, a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he whispered to himself to cheer himself up.

"Come on, Lorraine!"

"Even oranges have succeeded! You must be able to!"

…………

In the early morning of the next day, Officer Lorraine and Officer Dirk took half an hour off and brought Ron and his cat litter after breakfast to the office of the old officer Barton.

After learning about Ron's life and eating habits, the old police officer Barton took Lorraine and Ron to the paper archives on the sixth floor.

Just like a library, half of the building area on the sixth floor is occupied by paper archives. At a glance, dozens of rows of wooden file shelves are arranged neatly like bookshelves, leaving only a passage about two people wide in the middle.

Due to infrequent use, there is a stale smell in the archive, mixed with a trace of rat smell.

"This is where Tangerine works."

"As long as the orange can complete the work, it can get a special police badge, and it can travel freely in the Orange County Police Headquarters from then on."

"There is also a weekly salary of fifteen dollars, which can buy a lot of delicious food."

"Of course, if Juzi doesn't even catch a mouse during the trial period, I can only consider changing cats, maybe Amir or Page."

"Do you hear me, my boy?"

"Of course, sir."

"Meow~"

Listen up!

Lorraine hugged the cat litter and saluted Officer Patton, and Ron at his feet also squatted up and let out a call.

As for what the old police officer said, Ron didn't pay attention to it at all-can't catch a mouse in a week?Unless there are no mice in this paper archive or it doesn't come out for a week, such a result does not exist.

"Orange, come on!"

"..."

Got it, go away!

Putting the cat's nest in the corner, Lorraine smiled and stretched out his palm in front of Ron. Ron, who was squatting next to the cat's nest, rolled his eyes and printed his paws on Lorraine's palm.

"click~"

Lorraine left with the old police officer, and only Ron was left alone in the archives—whether it was night or day, there were several fifteen-watt fluorescent lights in the paper archives, so that Ron could clearly see everything around.

"Meow~"

Squatting in front of the central aisle, a low meow came out, and Ron turned his ears to feel the echo.

The speed of sound propagation in the air is about 340 meters per second, and it takes about half a second from the exit of the cat meowing to Ron's ears, and then divided by two, the length of the entire room is more than 40 meters, and according to visual inspection, the length of the room The width is more than ten meters, and it is a veritable archive.

After predicting the distance, Ron switched to walking mode. He gently walked along the main road of the archives, patrolling every side passage. After spending more than half an hour, Ron patrolled the entire archives. .

However, under such meticulous patrolling, Ron did not find any place where the smell of rats was too obvious. Obviously, the archives were just a place for rats to feed and move around, and the rats' nests were elsewhere.

So where will the mouse's nest be?

Ron raised his head and carefully observed the ceiling.
