What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Chapter 23: Smell chasing

   Chapter Twenty-Three

   Everyone has their own unique taste, which Xiang Kun feels more clearly after the sharp increase in smell.

   But he just 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.

   But Xiang Kun lacked a source of smell. At that time, the perpetrator 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, there was no way to be sure.

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

   But Xiang Kun, relying on strong hearing before, 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 are still On the assailant.

   Xiangkun 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 the strongest is naturally the previous crime scene.

   But Xiang Kun will not return there, but walk in the other direction.

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

   And Xiangkun didn't see any suspicious person before smelling the smell of blood, and he didn't hear the panicking footsteps. Obviously, the direction that the assailant fled after wounding would not be his side.

After excluding one side, the assailant still 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 of the assailant who did not directly act at the ATM door, but followed to a relatively 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 still go to the crime scene.

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

   Xiangkun imagined himself as the perpetrator. Whenever 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 faint. When Xiang Kun almost gave up tracking, suddenly a very light, "familiar" smell was mixed in with various thick and mixed smells. In, he smelled it.

   Xiangkun immediately refreshed. The smell was the victim's blood smell. Although it was faint to almost dissipate, its source direction was different from the direction of the crime scene. In other words, he could easily find the target.

   Following the taste, Xiang Kun walked back and forth for more than 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 must keep his concentration in order to keep the blood odor of the victim at all times.

   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 through 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?

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

   It didn't take long for Xiang Kun to find something stained with the victim's blood. It was not a murder weapon, but a pair of **** 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. A sneeze.

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

   It is the secretion of various skin glands such as sweat glands and sebaceous glands on the hands. In the stuffed gloves, this smell is not so easy to dissipate.

   As for the smell of the victim's blood, it is needless to say, even if you don't smell it, you can directly see the blood stains on the gloves with the naked eye.

   Xiangkun 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 didn't call Officer Chen. It was really hard to find an excuse.

   And he thinks that with the police's search efforts, he should be here soon.

   Of course, I hope that the trash can has not been cleared by the sanitation workers at that time~www.novelmtl.com~ Although I got the smell of the assailant, after Xiang Kun turned around for a few times, he still found nothing. 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 is much faster than Xiang Kun imagined. In just one night, the identity of the suspect has been confirmed!

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

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

   Police Officer Chen also explained to Xiang Kun that 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. Hunt him above.

In this case, Xiang Kun didn’t even think about tracking the suspects 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.
