Liu Qingshuang was so amused by Xue Chen's words that she couldn't help but laugh. Her clear almond eyes were filled with luster: "If you were really attacked by an Indochinese tiger, how cruel would you be to leave a little girl like me?
In the back, is a person escaping for his life alone?"
There was a hint of coquettishness in his expression and tone when he said this, and being stared at by such a pair of beautiful eyes, Xue Chen rubbed his nose, shrugged his shoulders and said, Indochinese tigers do not differentiate between men and women.
"Moreover, you are not a little girl in the eyes of many people, but a majestic criminal police squadron leader, the nemesis of crime, and the guardian of people's safety. Your reputation can make children stop crying in the middle of the night."
After hearing the first half of the sentence, Liu Qingshuang felt that it was quite useful, but she was not very satisfied with the last sentence and said: "Are you praising me or hurting me? What's more, it's just my profession and it doesn't explain who I am.
My gender, don’t you still know whether I am a woman? It’s not like you haven’t seen it!”
The air was quiet for a moment.
"Ahem, um, let's go, it's getting late." Xue Chen really couldn't talk about it anymore as he couldn't open his eyes and tell lies.
He was even more choked by her words. What did he see? Although he didn't say it clearly, it was obvious that what he was talking about was what happened at the riverside last night. Of course he saw it. Even though it was a quick glance, he could see it clearly.
, no matter the color, size or style, the perfect fit of black and white will make any normal man unable to forget it in a short time after taking one look at it.
After saying these words, Liu Qingshuang's heart trembled. She turned her head to the side slightly, pretending to look at the surrounding scenery, but her heart was numb and a little bit ashamed of herself. These words came from her own words.
Did you say it out of your mouth? Why are you so shameless?
What happened last night was quite embarrassing. The lower half of her body without pants was basically exposed, but now she brought it up in a subtle way. She felt so embarrassed that her face turned red and hot with shame.
Fortunately, Xue Chen did not take these words seriously, but turned around and continued to move forward. She was slightly relieved, but she also felt a vague disappointment, as if there was something in front of her, and she wanted to.
I try to catch it, but I always miss it.
…
This was already the fourth day after entering this old forest on the border, but the two of them didn't even see a single figure, and they felt somewhat anxious in their hearts.
Liu Qingshuang made some suggestions about Xue Chen's route, saying that the route was too dense and that the search would take too much time. The route could be appropriately expanded.
But Xue Chen didn't think so and expressed his thoughts: "The four people who were missing had been missing for half a month before we arrived here. They had no supplies and their situation should be very difficult. But since they are elites of the Ministry of National Security,
Then he shouldn't be dead, but now that it's been nearly twenty days, he should have reached a limit."
Having said this, he glanced ahead and sighed softly: "They probably won't be able to hold on for long. Maybe the search route I planned will take an extra two or three days, but I won't miss them easily.
If it really passes by and is not discovered, the consequences will be much more serious than spending two or three days extra."
Hearing what Xue Chen said, Liu Qingshuang also understood that she would rather go slower, but the most important thing is to find it at once.
The two people walked through the dense mountain forest and encountered all kinds of mosquitoes along the way. Mosquitoes were four or five times larger than those in the city. They encountered dozens of different types of snakes and many more.
There were countless wild boars, deer, monkeys, colorful pheasants and fast-moving rabbits, as well as many strange small wild animals that couldn't even be named. The two of them seemed to have entered a paradise of wild animals.
From early morning to noon, the two of them stopped in a small open space. Liu Qingshuang sat down on the ground regardless of her image, drank some water from the bottle, and wiped the sweat on her face with a tissue.
Regaining physical strength.
Xue Chen was looking around. Suddenly, his eyes moved and he blurted out: "Let's go over there and have a look."
"Ah?" Liu Qingshuang saw Xue Chen suddenly walking in one direction, and she had to stand up and follow him.
After walking more than a hundred meters, an open space appeared in front of the two of them. They could clearly see a pile of fire that had long been extinguished on the grass.
Seeing the pile of burned charcoal, Liu Qingshuang hurriedly stepped forward, looked at it and said, this fire should have been lit yesterday or the day before yesterday!
Xue Chen also took a brief look at the surroundings and directly activated the eagle eye's ability to see everything. The eagle eye can not only see far, but also can see things that normal human eyes cannot see after evolving after finding the pirate treasure last time.
details!
When the ability was activated, his vision seemed to have changed to another dimension, and he naturally captured many details that may require professional equipment and surveyors to find.
For example, the footprints on the ground are almost undetectable. It may take a professional crime scene investigator to sprinkle lime powder and use a small brush to brush them out bit by bit, but he can see them clearly.
From the marks left on the soles of his shoes, he could see that there were three people in total.
"three people……"
There were four people who lost contact. Could it be that they were sacrificed? Xue Chen thought to himself.
He walked around the fire again and picked up some trinkets from the messy grass that people had inadvertently left behind after they left. The most useful one was a cigarette butt dug out of the soil.
Liu Qingshuang saw Xue Chen pull out a cigarette butt from the soil and felt incredible. The cigarette butt was obviously stepped into the soil deliberately, and there were some weeds covering it. How did it be discovered...
She went over and took a look at the cigarette butt, and said with some surprise: "This cigarette butt is a brand of cigarettes that is popular in the north. No one smokes it in the southwest."
"How do you know what kind of cigarette this is? There is no trademark on it." Xue Chen asked unexpectedly.
He was thinking, since there are three people here instead of four, then he is not sure that it is the person he is looking for. But if the cigarette butt is from the north, then it should be basically certain that it is the person he is looking for.
people.
Liu Qingshuang said rather arrogantly that she was now the squadron leader of the criminal police team, and the pressure on her shoulders was huge. If she didn’t want to become a person whose abilities were not worthy of her position, she naturally had to study more and learn how to deal with criminals.
Fighting and learning experience from many seniors.
Nine out of ten criminals smoke, and it is not uncommon to leave cigarette butts at crime scenes. So she collected information on cigarette brands across the country and memorized the price, appearance, origin and main distribution areas of almost all cigarettes.
.
"So powerful?" Xue Chen looked at Liu Qingshuang with a feeling of admiration. There must be hundreds of cigarette brands across the country. It would take a lot of energy to write them all down.
Liu Qingshuang raised the corners of her mouth and chuckled. She finally found her sense of existence and it felt great.
"Furthermore, if you look at it again, what other characteristics does this cigarette butt have? That is, it has been smoked very cleanly, and even the filter tip is burnt. There is not a single shred of tobacco left, which means that the smoker may not have too many cigarettes in his hand. This
I was very careful, and this is very consistent with the situation of the four soldiers who lost contact."
Now it is basically certain that the soldier who lost contact once stayed here for one night.
Now that this point was clear, there was hope of finding the person. Xue Chen continued to use the dual ability of eagle eye to explore the path. He first observed the surrounding terrain, and then used his ability to detect every detail to search for traces left behind, such as footprints.
Or grass leaves that have been trampled into the wet soil.
Even the most experienced hunter would find it difficult to trace the route taken by someone who left a day ago based on such tiny traces, but Xue Chen can! This is the power of Eagle Eye's newly evolved ability!
The two followed him all the way.
After traveling about seven or eight kilometers, Xue Chen and Liu Qingshuang looked at each other, with joy in their eyes, because the footprints in front of them looked fresher, and they were clearly left not long ago, maybe an hour or two ago, or maybe even
It's a minute or two!
The two of them walked forward quickly. They didn't go very far when they heard the sound of the river again. When they pushed aside a mess of bushes, they could vaguely see the river more than thirty meters away. What surprised them even more was that
, and also saw two or three people standing on the shore busy with something.
Just when the two of them were about to walk over quickly, suddenly, a gunshot rang out from around them!
boom!
The sound of gunshots echoed in the dense forest, frightening countless birds.
The moment the gunshots were fired, the people by the river immediately fell down and launched a counterattack.
And the gunshots all around were heard one after another.
Liu Qingshuang whispered anxiously: "What should we do now?!"
Xue Chen didn't speak. His clairvoyance and eagle eyes quickly took a clear look at everything within a radius of 500 meters. As expected, the people on the river bank were exactly what he was looking for, but they were not the three people he imagined.
One person, but four people, but one of them was pale and had his eyes closed, as if he was injured and passed out!
On the other side of the river, fifty or sixty meters away, there were seven or eight figures wearing camouflage clothing. They were crouching down and shooting at the people on the river bank. They had pistols and rifles. They suppressed them with firepower and launched an assault at the same time.
!
On the other hand, among the four people by the river, one was injured and unconscious. Only two of the remaining three had pistols in their hands. The other woman had no weapon at all, and her counterattack was almost zero.
Seeing this situation, Xue Chen exhaled, frowned, and an iron nail appeared between his fingers. Without Liu Qingshuang noticing, the iron nail flew out silently under his control.
Forty meters across the river, a man with a large black mole on his nose was leaning against a big tree, loading the rifle in his hand.
Suddenly, he heard an unusual scream approaching, and when he turned around to look, there seemed to be a faint flash of silver from his pupils. (To be continued)
