96: Chapter 96 Clues

Qin Mo and the other took a short break, chatting while following their instincts in the direction they had come from.

...

On the other side.

Just after the three criminals had left, Li Ming arrived with a group of Hat officers, immediately spotting the Jackal lying on the ground.

Everyone's expression changed.

A Hat officer stepped forward to check, then shook his head, indicating that the person was dead.

Li Ming frowned: "What happened here?"

Several Hat officers stepped forward to examine the body, and one of them said: "This corpse should be the criminal's accomplice, named Jackal, who is also a Grade A wanted criminal in our country."

The fatal wound is at the throat, likely caused by a cylindrical object inserted directly. No murder weapon was found at the scene. Preliminary judgment suggests it was caused by a dispute between accomplices.

Upon hearing this, Li Ming fell into deep thought.

The fatal wound was at the throat, but there were no signs of a struggle nearby, which meant it was a one-hit kill; the deceased had no time to react.

Then why didn't the criminal just use a gun? Wouldn't that be safer?

No!

Li Ming's eyes narrowed, then he squatted beside the corpse to examine it carefully.

"This is wrong! The criminal didn't die from a dispute between accomplices; it's very likely he died at the hands of Qin Mo!"

Everyone fell silent for a moment, and a Hat officer asked: "Could it be that Qin Mo killed the criminal and then ran away?"

Li Ming nodded: "Very likely!"

"Look at the surroundings. The Jackal's corpse is lying under the rock, and there are scattered ropes nearby. If it were a dispute between accomplices, they could have just used guns, which would be safer."

"Look again. The fatal wound at the victim's throat looks like the distance of a finger. Perhaps Qin Mo found an opportunity when they were alone, used some method to break free from the ropes, killed the deceased with one strike of his finger, and then escaped."

"And the scattered ropes nearby are the best proof."

"The situation must have been extremely urgent at the time. The criminal's accomplice didn't even collect the body, which means there was simply no time!"

At these words, everyone was in an uproar, their faces full of admiration for Qin Mo.

To be able to counter-kill the criminal and escape under such circumstances is not something an ordinary person can do...

A Hat officer pondered for a moment and whispered: "In other words... the criminal is now chasing after Number Nine and the others?"

"Very likely!"

Li Ming nodded solemnly.

"Captain Li, let's hurry and catch up! Number Nine's situation must be very dangerous right now, and his life could be at risk at any moment. The criminals have guns!"

Li Ming looked around and frowned: "Do you know which direction Qin Mo went?"

Hearing this, everyone fell silent...

It was so big here, and it was very possible that Number Nine went in any direction. They were now looking for a needle in a haystack, with no way to start.

Li Ming thought for a while, looked at a Hat officer next to him, and whispered: "If you were Qin Mo, which direction would you go?"

The Hat officer was silent for a moment, then said firmly: "I'm not familiar with this place. If I had to say which direction to go, I would definitely go back the way I came!"

"Good!"

"Everyone, carry out a carpet search back the way we came! We must find Qin Mo as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

Everyone shouted and then left in the direction they had come from.

...

At this time, deep in the West Asia Great Forest.

Qin Mo walked and stopped with Vivian along the way. Both of them were covered in injuries, and their clothes were almost reduced to rags, nearing the point of being exposed. If they weren't on the run, Qin Mo would have definitely appreciated Vivian's figure; after all, this was a gift from nature.

However, he had no time to care about that now, and Vivian didn't care about her clothes either. They just wanted to get out quickly. On the way, they encountered various poisonous snakes and beasts several times, nearly losing their lives.

If it weren't for their strong mental resilience, they would have probably collapsed by now.

"Qin Mo, what time is it now?"

Vivian, who had been following behind Qin Mo, couldn't help but ask.

Qin Mo looked up at the sky and said lightly: "It might be close to the afternoon."

Vivian asked with some concern: "Can we get out before it gets dark?"

"Should be."

"Hope so..."

"Gurgle~"

Just as Vivian wanted to say something, her stomach suddenly made a hungry sound.

She suddenly felt a little blushing and embarrassed...

In fact, it couldn't be blamed on her. Both of them had gone through such intense exercise and had been on the run, and without a drop of water, they were already starving.

Qin Mo looked back at Vivian. Although Vivian's attire was extremely seductive at this moment, he had no desire to appreciate it.

"Let's take a break first. They shouldn't be able to catch up now. Let's eat something to replenish."

Qin Mo shook his head helplessly. If he were alone, he would have many ways to deal with the other party, but now that he was with Vivian, he definitely couldn't take risks. Moreover, there were definitely more than two people on the other side, and they all had guns, so he could only run...

Vivian, who had been impatient, nodded quickly like a chicken pecking at rice after hearing Qin Mo's words.

Then Qin Mo walked towards the distant forest.

Vivian watched Qin Mo's figure go away, and only then did she subconsciously sigh in relief. Then she found a hidden place to take off her pants...

She had held it in the whole way and couldn't stand it anymore, but she was too embarrassed to tell Qin Mo. Now she finally had the chance to relieve herself.

However, what she didn't know was that a cobra was slowly crawling towards her at this moment...

"Fortunately, I have master-level wilderness survival skills, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to find food. Even if I wasn't killed by the criminals, I would starve to death. It's really a disaster..."

Qin Mo complained while constantly collecting wild fruits from the trees. In a short while, he had a handful in his hands.

Looking at the fruits in his hand, Qin Mo calculated roughly that it should be enough, then turned and walked towards Vivian's direction.

"Ah!!!"

Just then, a scream rang out, and Qin Mo's face changed drastically.

Oh no! Vivian!

...

On the other side.

At this time, Pang Lei and the other two were shocked when they heard Vivian's scream.

Pang Lei looked at the two and whispered: "Did you hear any sound?"

Ravi showed a smile on his face: "Boss, if I'm not wrong, it's them!"

"Chase!"

Pang Lei said in surprise, then quickly ran towards the source of the sound.

However, it wasn't just them. At this time, Li Ming and the others also heard this scream.

A Hat officer said excitedly: "Captain Li! It's them!"

After searching for so long, they finally had a clue, and everyone was excited.

"Chase!"

Li Ming shouted and ran towards the source of the sound first.

Hearing this scream, it was very likely that the two of them had already been found by the criminals, and the situation was not optimistic.
