Chapter 24: Encounters
Chapter Twenty-Four: Encounter
The olfactory organ of humans is the nose, and it is the nerve cells inside the nostrils that play a role in the sense of smell.
Generally speaking, in order to make the sense of smell more sensitive and distinguish more and finer odors, more olfactory cells are needed. For example, humans have about 5 million olfactory cells, while dogs have as many as 100 million to 200 million olfactory cells, so dogs' sense of smell is much stronger than that of humans.
Xiang Kun has been pondering, his strength has improved, and his muscles can feel a significant increase, and when he exerts force, he is as hard as steel, and it seems that the muscle hardness is much stronger than that of ordinary people when they exert force, and it is obvious that the muscle fibers have obvious enhancement and changes.
So what kind of changes will there be in the organs with the improvement of the sense of smell?
Will there be more olfactory cells or associated nerves?
Or is it that a single cell is enhanced, many times more powerful than the average person's olfactory cell?
There is no noticeable change in the shape of his nose now, so the latter seems more likely?
If Xiang Kun has a medical background and has relevant equipment, it is estimated that he will get some nasal samples to study now, anyway, his recovery ability is so strong now, and taking some samples will not affect at all.
Maybe this discovery alone can win a Nobel Prize or something.
......
On August 2, more than a day had passed since Xiang Kun encountered someone who was stabbed on the evening of July 31.
Yesterday and today, he still follows his own plan and rhythm, going to the gym during the day and wandering the streets at night, training his senses of hearing and smell, and at the same time collecting a "database" of various sounds and smells.
Moreover, he vaguely felt that training at night would seem to be more effective.
This needs to be proved by subsequent experiments.
Since chatting with Officer Chen on WeChat yesterday and knowing that the suspect was wanted, Xiang Kun has not paid much attention to this matter, in his opinion, it is impossible for the suspect to escape under the attention of the police when his true identity has been exposed. As for whether the smell he had "collected" from the gloves in the dumpster the night before was from the suspect, he didn't think to verify it.
But sometimes things are like this, intentionally planting flowers that don't bloom, unintentionally planting willows and willows, Xiang Kun didn't think about going to the suspect, but the suspect appeared in Xiang Kun's field of vision.
Or to be more precise, the suspect's scent was within Xiang Kun's sense of smell.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Xiang Kun came out of the gym and was about to follow the previously planned route to train his sense of smell and hearing, but he didn't take two steps, but suddenly smelled a somewhat familiar smell from the many mixed smells.
The night before, in order to see the results of his follow-up all the way, Xiang Kun finally endured the stench and went through the trash can, and found the bloody gloves left by the suspected suspect.
Xiang Kun immediately raised his eyes and searched around to search for the suspect's location, judging by the smell, the target should not be more than ten meters away from him.
During this time, although he focused on training his sense of smell and hearing, his eyesight also did not let go, especially because he always walked around at night, so his ability to see at night was also greatly improved, and with targeted training, dynamic vision was also enhanced to a certain extent.
Xiang Kun quickly swept past the passers-by around him, but he didn't find the target.
Soon, he felt the smell fade a bit, and the target was getting farther and farther away from him.
Xiang Kun frowned slightly, he didn't have a strong sense of justice and wanted to arrest the wanted criminal, in fact, he just wanted to be as low-key as possible now, and he didn't want to expose his ability, so even if he found the suspect, he also notified Officer Chen to arrest someone, and didn't say that he had to arrest someone himself, pretending to be a hero.
But now that he smells the smell, he doesn't see anyone, just like half of his urine is not finished, which makes Xiang Kun really uncomfortable.
So he began to walk slowly in the direction of the smell, concentrating, carefully looking for the target that would produce the smell.
Ten minutes later, he finally saw a thin black man with fluffy curly yellow hair and sunglasses at the door of a mobile phone repair shop.
Although I have seen the photo of the suspect sent to him by Officer Chen, it is a passport photo and a few extremely blurry pictures taken by the surveillance, but to be honest, the difference between the real person and the picture is really quite big, especially the fluffy yellow hair - the photos are all black hair and flat head.
Getting closer, with Xiang Kun's eyesight, from the yellow-haired man's chin, nose, mouth, and height and body type, it was basically determined that it was the wanted suspect sent to him by Officer Chen.
Just as Xiang Kun took out his mobile phone and reported to Officer Chen on WeChat that he had found a wanted criminal, a shout came from behind him that startled him:
"Mr. Xiang!"
Xiang Kun was stunned for a moment, and when he looked back, he saw that it was Tang Baona and the beautiful girl who had met her standing with her downstairs in the gym before, and the two of them were walking towards him with a glass of juice.
"Mr. Xiang, who are you messing with? Why haven't you heard it for a long time?" said the girl who was walking with Tang Baona curiously.
Xiang Kun knew that it was estimated that he had just focused on his sense of smell and vision, so he had isolated a large amount of sound information to a certain extent, so he didn't hear them call him.
However, Xiang Kun is still a little inexplicable, if Tang Baona says so, forget it, but what's going on with this sister paper next to Tang Baona? I'm not familiar with you, how can you talk to me in this tone?
But he didn't have time to admit them, and his first reaction was to look back in the direction of the yellow-haired suspect.
I don't know if it was because the girl's voice was too loud to attract attention or other reasons, Huang Mao happened to look at him too.
The two of them looked at each other so suddenly.
Although they only looked at each other for a few moments, a few tenths of a second, Xiang Kun quickly "naturally" looked away, looking like he was looking at the scene on the other side of the street.
But Huang Mao still realized something, and suddenly quickened his pace and walked away.
"Damn!" Xiang Kun scolded in a low voice, turned back to Tang Baona and said, "Let's get back in touch!" and then quickly chased after Huang Mao.
At this time, there were many pedestrians on the street, those who had just gotten off work, those who were going to dinner, and the flow of people was very dense, and the yellow hair was obviously an experienced escapee, walking through the crowd, and soon disappeared from Xiang Kun's sight, and I don't know if he jumped into the storefront or alley next to him.
Just now afraid of being discovered by Huang Mao, Xiang Kun didn't get too close and kept a distance after determining the target, so he couldn't catch up at the first time.
If it were an ordinary person, it was estimated that he could only search all the way at this time, or guess Huang Mao's escape route, but Xiang Kun locked the smell of Huang Mao, but he was not worried about losing it.
He even had time to use his mobile phone to send his location to Officer Chen, but Officer Chen couldn't sit still, so the call came directly.
