Chapter Twenty-three

Everyone has their own unique taste, which Xiang Kun feels more clearly after this greatly improved sense of smell.

However, he only woke up for a few hours tonight, and he was still very rusty in distinguishing various odors. At the crime scene before, he had wondered if he could find the smell of the perpetrator and follow it.

However, Xiang Kun lacked a source of smell. The assailant should have left soon. There was still a residual smell at the scene, but he could not distinguish from the various smells, or there were too many options to be sure.

After the police arrived, there were more people on the scene, which naturally made it more difficult to track.

However, relying on strong hearing before Xiang Kun, he heard the conversation between the police and knew that the murder weapon had not been found.

The murder weapon should be stained with the victim’s blood. From the scene, there was no thing used to wipe the blood on the blade. Therefore, the blood on the murder weapon should still be left before it can be processed, or the wiped paper and cloth were also returned. On the assailant.

Xiang Kun then had an idea to see if he could track down the smell of blood to find the perpetrator or weapon.

The direction where the victim's blood tastes strongest is naturally the previous crime scene.

But Xiang Kun would not return there, but walked in another direction.

According to his judgment, when he saw the victim, the assailant would not leave for more than three minutes.

Before Xiang Kun smelled the smell of blood, he didn't see any suspicious person, nor did he hear the panicking footsteps. Obviously, the direction that the assailant fled after wounding would not be his side.

After excluding one side, the assailant has two ways to go, but one of the lanes leads directly to the main road outside, which is very lively. There are still many pedestrians at this time, and there are many surveillance cameras, which is easy Just be positioned.

Judging from the style that the assailant did not directly start at the ATM door, but followed to a more remote place before starting, he should not go there.

So Xiang Kun chose the remaining road and patrolled all the way.

But he basically couldn't follow the scent of the victim's blood, because if he did that, he would definitely still go in the direction of the crime scene.

Xiang Kun was not discouraged either, anyway, he didn't regard catching the perpetrator as his own task or responsibility, he just tried to practice his olfactory tracking ability.

Xiang Kun imagined himself as the perpetrator, and when he reached the intersection, he almost subconsciously chose to move on.

After going so far, the smell of blood left at the crime scene was already very weak, and when Xiang Kun almost gave up tracking, suddenly there was a very light, "familiar" smell, mixed with various thick and mixed smells. In, he smelled it.

Xiang Kun immediately refreshed. This smell was the victim's blood smell. Although it was so weak that it almost dissipated, its source direction was different from the direction of the crime scene. In other words, he could easily find the target.

Following the smell, Xiang Kun walked back and forth for ten minutes, finally determined that the source of the blood smell was in an open trash can.

The garbage bin was obviously used to throw household garbage to nearby residents. Some garbage bags containing kitchen waste were broken open, and the soup, water, and food residues were everywhere. As soon as they approached, various pungent smells surged, especially Now that Xiang Kun's sense of smell has increased a lot, he is even more suffering.

He had to keep his concentration in order to keep the blood scent of the victim locked.

Looking at the trash can full of flies, Xiang Kun couldn't help but hesitate. He has no obligation to track down the suspect, so why bother to go to the trash can?

But after hesitating for a while, he still wanted to see if the target he was tracking was correct, was it something with the victim's blood, or was it a murder weapon?

Xiang Kun sighed, leaned forward to drive away the flies from the trash can, and then started to rummaged.

It didn't take long before Xiang Kun found what was stained with the victim's blood. It was not a murder weapon, but a pair of bloody cotton gloves.

Xiang Kun didn't directly use his own hand, he pulled a piece of clinker bag from the side, pinched the glove, picked it up and sniffed it, mixed with various types of odor, which made him hit three times in a row. Sneeze.

But he still keenly caught the scent of people from this smell.

It is the secretions of various skin glands such as sweat glands and sebaceous glands on the hands. The smell is not so easy to dissipate in the stuffed gloves.

As for the smell of the victim's blood, it goes without saying, even if you don't smell it, you can directly see the blood stains on the gloves with the naked eye.

Xiang Kun hesitated to tell Officer Chen the location of the gloves, but finally thought about it and threw the gloves back into the trash can, and did not call Officer Chen. It was really hard to find an excuse.

And he felt that with the police's search efforts, he should also find this side soon.

Of course, I hope this trash can has not been cleared by the sanitation workers.

Although he got the smell of the assailant, Xiang Kun didn't get anything after turning around a few times.In the city, there are too many disturbances regardless of sound or smell.

The next day, Xiang Kun added his WeChat account with the number given by Officer Chen and asked about the progress of the case.

He was not very hopeful at first, because he knew that the police generally would not disclose the progress of the case under investigation, but unexpectedly, Officer Chen sent him a photo directly.

The efficiency of the police investigation was much faster than Xiang Kun had imagined. In just one night, the identity of the suspect was confirmed!

According to Officer Chen, the suspect was released from his sentence in March this year, and arrived in the city in April. He did not expect to commit another major crime a few months later-the victim who was stabbed last night was rescued. Invalid, passed away early in the morning.

The suspect’s photos and information have been sent to the station, the airport, and various hotels and hostels. Later, the local TV station will also release wanted news. The arrest can be a matter of time.

Officer Chen also explained to Xiang Kun, if you see the suspect, don't be impulsive, call the police, or call him directly.

In Xiang Kun's view, the suspect has basically booked a prison meal. In this era, cameras are everywhere, real-name authentication is required everywhere, and ID cards are required to clear the way, not to mention the homicide case. Now a large number of police forces are definitely invested. Hunt him above.

In this case, Xiang Kun didn’t even think about tracking the suspect based on the smell he got. After all, this is a big city with a population of over 10 million. Without a certain range, he wanted to find people by smell. Different from finding a needle in a haystack.

But what Xiang Kun didn't expect was that he would encounter the suspect before he was arrested.
