At this point, Horden had already extracted more information from the established facts, and the space for divergent thinking was suddenly expanded several times.

Issa couldn't help but blink, and was about to diverge into Hoden's thoughts, and then Hoden continued.

"Did the vigilantes knock over anything when they inspected the scene? I mean, any liquids, or did they use psionic energy to deal with the scene?"

Hodden is still unsure of the level of investigation and investigation methods on the Norsnes continent, and there are many interference factors, and he needs further confirmation.

“...... No. Issa thought about it for a moment, and then realized the seriousness of the problem, "What, is the scene badly damaged?"

Issa couldn't help but follow Hoden's attention to the past, and then he could see Hoden's eyes focused on the carpet again.

Rug?

The entire kitchen is carpeted – a common occurrence for the 7th arrondissement, where each residence brings its own carpet before moving in. This is not unusual.

The first half of the carpet was soaked with blood in the kitchen, and the second half of the carpet was clean in the hall.

The contrast is stark.

Issa knew right away that the carpet was undoubtedly the best place to hide clues, so did their search miss any important clues?

Strangely, however, what Hauden was looking at was not where Mrs. Lenoll had fallen, but an area behind her heel after Mrs. Lenoll had fallen:

It was a small open space surrounded by three sofas, with two wooden low stools, and then it was empty, nothing.

It could even be said to be too clean.

Hodden simply knelt on the ground, his gaze parallel to the ground, as if to observe whether there was any evidence left on the surface of the carpet.

Issa hesitated for a moment, then lowered his center of gravity and crawled on the ground, trying to find clues.

"Are you sure you haven't used any special techniques in this area?" asked Hodden.

"What's the matter, is there any blood left here?" Issa didn't know.

Hoden shook his head, "No, the breath here...... It's very obvious and it's very serious. He couldn't be sure, so he turned to Issa and asked, "From the moment I entered this room, I could feel a special aura, especially here, which I thought was left over from your testing work." ”

The first thing that came to my face was a particularly strong chemical smell, as if mixed with the smell of a lot of chemicals, but the wonderful thing was that it was not pungent, but it was so intricate that it was difficult to distinguish, and the layers were very obvious, and I felt that a lot of chemical reaction equations were tumbling in my mind-

The really sharp and pungent smell was the smell of blood, the source of which was self-evident, because it was too strong and too domineering, and easily overshadowed all other smells, but when you calm down and look closely, you can detect the smell hidden behind the smell of blood.

Originally, Hoden didn't think much about it, maybe it was just the smell of the house, or the smell of the chemical reaction that occurs after the blood deteriorated, but in the kitchen carpet and the living room carpet continuously, he caught a light and fresh breath, like the mouth smell after chewing gum.

This is not normal.

Hidden in those smells that are so strong that they almost make people vomit, but yet there is a faint smell that seems to be nothing?

If you break it down, it's like...... It's like the refreshment brought by the wind blowing wheat waves, but it is not the smell of the forest or the wheat field, but the smell of the wind.

Hodden knew that the analogy was absurd, because the "wind" itself had no taste, and the breath it carried came from other substances in the air flow, but he did feel the smell in his mind, but he couldn't find a more suitable adjective to express it.

So Hodden asked Issa: Maybe he, an outsider, was he unheard?

But Issa frowned slightly and shook her head slightly, "I didn't smell anything special. ”

Holden's eyebrows were slightly raised, and his eyes showed a little surprise, and then he could see that Isa's expression was serious enough that he didn't mean to joke.

Well, that means...... Only he can smell it?

What's going on here?

Looking back, since coming to the Norsnes continent, Horden's sensitivity to smell has been like a shadow:

It's not just the smell of daily life, but also the more delicate, fainter and richer smell, especially when the spiritual energy is used, the elemental breath is more sensitive, and the invisible existence can evolve into a clear symbol in the mind, is this the gift after the fire escaped?

I can't tell if it's a good or bad gift, and I can't tell how I should use it.

For now, in addition to helping Holden better identify food, it can also provide unexpected help when investigating cases.

Like now.

Hodden could clearly perceive that the smell of the carpet in front of him was very strong, and the pungent degree was far beyond that of other areas, but because the smell level was relatively complex, not only mixed with elemental breath and bloody smell, but also the rancid smell of bacteria breeding after a long period of lack of effective protection.

It was because of this that Hoden took the initiative to lie on the ground, trying to find clues from the carpet.

Is it possible that the "breath of the wind" is the smell of the wind element? and the wind element may be the hidden clue left by the murderer?

Previously, during the entrance exam to Sekpeth Academy, the sophomore's "psionic attribute" came to mind again, does this mean that psionic energy is really like genes and can leave unique clues?

But how exactly is it abnormal, what does the smell really mean, and if the psionic attribute really exists, how should it be detected, and how should it be proven?

Hodden can't say a reason for the time being - he still knows too little about the Norsnes continent and psionic energy, and now he needs to be more cautious when he crosses the river by feeling the stones.

As for now, Horden can only explore reconnaissance through the methods he is familiar with, and fortunately, this is what Horden is best at.

"Isa, are you a psyker?" said Howlen, changing the subject.

But it's a little blunt, and Issa doesn't know why.

Hodden could only go on to explain, "I don't think there's something quite right here, but I can't see it right now, so could you please take a picture of the carpet? I mean, take as many shots as you can from different angles, different heights, different positions, and put everything together." ”

Only then did Issa come to her senses, nodded and replied in the affirmative, "Yes, I am a junior psyker, and every vigilante must be a psychic, this is one of our entrance exams." ”

This also answers many of the questions you had when you first met in the bar, and those skills are only available to psionics, not enlighteners.
