Chapter 536: Perfume
Just now, Leo didn't tell Frank Fowson a piece of information, and Frank Foson apparently didn't pay attention to it, and this information sounds absurd, but it is related to what weapon the killer has in his hand, and this weapon is also the source of the murderer's confidence that he can shoot the target from a distance of nearly a kilometer.
One of the children revealed that the critters that had died on the lawn some time ago had been found with wounds that looked like they had been roasted, and were very small, smaller than their little fingers.
This information does not have any special meaning to ordinary people, but it feels a little strange or absurd, and even inferred according to their own inherent cognition, thinking that the person providing the information is deliberately exaggerating something, so as to ignore the importance of this information, such as Frank Forson.
However, this message to Leo has another meaning, which indicates that the ancient relict may have a working energy weapon in his hands, and the deeper meaning is that the ancient relict may even know an ancient relic containing cosmic technology, and already know how to use some technology.
Therefore, he felt that once that Hoover Hansen really appeared at the opening ceremony of the museum, he was afraid that it would be more than lucky, because he knew very well that the maximum effective range of the energy weapon was not only one thousand meters, and if the ancient remnants really mastered the use of the energy weapon, then all the places around the museum that could see the front square could become the opponent's shooting point.
Hoover Hansen's safety is not on Leo's heart, as for what Frank Forson said will cause war, this is not Leo's consideration, not to mention that he thinks that even if Hoover Hansen is assassinated, the war that Frank Forson said will not happen, after all, what killed him is a remnant of the ancient clan who avenges the extermination of the clan, and has nothing to do with other people.
If the Kingdom of England wants to anger those tribes in the Moissanite Continent and wants to use force, then he must first face the powerful countries of the Moissanite Continent such as the United States and Galiga. Although the strength of the Kingdom of England at sea is the first among all countries, if you want to go on an expedition against a big country across the sea, I am afraid that it is still not enough.
While thinking about things, Leo carefully inspected the entire apartment building again, this time more carefully than the previous inspection.
Although the killer cleaned the room very clean, Leo was able to spot some useful clues, such as a very faint smell of perfume in the room.
It's not a strange thing for an out-of-fashion actress to smell perfume in the room of a courtesan, but the perfume smell discovered by Leo is very special, completely different from the perfume that the owner of the house put in front of the dressing table.
The perfume is not strong, very light, as if it were some kind of floral.
Although it was only a clue to the smell of perfume, Leo did not underestimate it, and after leaving the scene of the murder, he stopped a carriage and went directly to one of the largest perfume shops in Turin.
For the people of the Kingdom of England, perfume is an indispensable item every day, not only women often use perfume, even men are very dependent on perfume, and over time, the quality of perfume has become one of the important criteria for evaluating a person's cultivation and identity, and because of this situation, a man like Jason from the bottom has to spray himself with a little perfume in order to integrate into that elite circle.
It is precisely because of such a great demand that the perfume industry has become a very large industry in the Kingdom of England, and there are more than 50 large and small perfume shops in the city of Turin alone.
However, the vast majority of these perfume shops are cheap industrial synthetic perfumes with civilian faces, and there are only seven handmade perfumes, and the perfume shop that Leo is going to now is the largest handmade perfume shop in the city of Turin, and the first perfume shop in the entire Kingdom of England, it is said that this shop stores the world's largest variety of perfumes, and even perfumers from other countries will come here to learn how to make perfumes.
After Leo came to this perfume shop, he directly asked the reception person to take out all the perfumes in the store, if it weren't for the fact that Leo's clothes were worth a lot of money, Leo's whole temperament didn't look like that kind of low-level person, maybe Leo just made a request, he would be blasted out by the clerk as a troublemaker.
After Leo took out a part of the deposit, the clerk didn't say anything, and according to Leo's instructions, he took out the bottles of perfume in the store and put them in front of Leo, and every time the clerk took out a perfume, Leo would open the bottle cap and sniff it gently, and then put it aside in disappointment.
Leo's actions naturally attracted the attention of the people in the shop, among whom was the owner of the shop, and at first he thought that Leo was a powerful child who could be seen everywhere in Turin, and he was extremely bored, and came here to have fun, after all, similar things had not happened in the past.
But soon he found out that Leo didn't smell those perfumes indiscriminately, every time he smelled a bottle of perfume, he would put that bottle of perfume aside seemingly randomly, and if he looked carefully at the position of his place, he could find that these smelled perfumes were placed in a certain way, which were placed in a certain way that could affect the emotions of others, some of which could make people calm, while some of which made people passionate, etc.
"Perfumer?" After seeing this scene, the owner of the perfume shop immediately thought that Leo and a profession in the perfume industry overlapped.
Perfumer is a special profession in the perfume industry, a good perfume shop can do without a good perfumer, but not without a good perfumer.
A good perfumer can easily identify more than 100 aromas in a short period of time, a top perfumer can distinguish nearly 200 aromas, and the world record for a perfumer is 213.
But now Leo has smelled more than 130 kinds of perfumes, and the time to analyze each perfume is still very short, unlike other perfumers who need to analyze a perfume for a long time to distinguish after smelling a perfume, and must wash his nose with a special cleaning solution afterwards to be able to continue to distinguish the next perfume.
"Can he really tell the difference between the perfumes?" After a brief period of suspicion, the perfume shop owner quickly dispelled his doubts, because there was nothing wrong with the perfume bottle that Leo had placed.
At Leo's speed, he soon had sniffed more than two hundred perfumes, and among those who were shocked by Leo's actions, there were some knowledgeable people who were shocked by Leo's ability to distinguish perfumes, and the owner of the perfume shop was a little unable to sit still, because he knew very well how much it would help the store if there was such a taster in the store.
So, he walked quickly to Leo's side, smiled and said, "This gentleman, I don't know if you are interested in being the nose taster of our shop, we are willing to provide a very rich ......."
"Not interested. Before the owner of the perfume shop could finish speaking, Leo interrupted him directly, and then after looking at the few perfumes left on the side, he couldn't help frowning, and said, "Is there only these perfumes left in your shop? ”
Although he was rejected, the owner of the perfume shop did not feel angry, because he could see from Leo's clothes that Leo was not the kind of person who lacked money, so he adjusted his mentality and no longer regarded Leo as a talent to be recruited, but as a customer with special requirements.
"Of course, these perfumes are not all, these perfumes are just some of the mass perfumes that can be produced by formulas, and there are some of the only perfumes that can only be made with special materials, and even some of them are made by extreme coincidence, and I can guarantee that in the whole of Veron, in terms of the number and variety of perfumes, there is no store that can compare with this store. The owner of the perfume shop found the right time to introduce his shop quite proudly, although it seemed to be answering Leo's question, but in fact he was talking to the others around him, and then he said: "The preservation conditions of these perfumes are very special, this store has built a manor for preservation, if you don't mind, I am willing to take you to the manor, but I don't know what kind of perfume your Excellency is looking for, I can let my subordinates prepare." ”
"The perfume I want......" Leo heard the introduction of the perfume shop owner, carefully recalled the feeling that the perfume smell he recorded brought to her, and said slowly: "That perfume is very special, not strong, a little light, just like a flower blooming in the spring rain, the floral fragrance diluted by the rain, accompanied by a smell of grass, makes people feel like they are in the spring grassland." ”
Hearing Leo's introduction, most of the people around were a little puzzled, why a perfume would produce such a feeling, and only a few people would show a contemplative look, as if they fell into the imagination of the perfume smell described by Leo.
However, the owner of the perfume shop was stunned when he heard Leo's description, not that the perfume described by Leo was difficult to find, but that he knew this perfume, and this perfume was still made by him, but he remembered that this perfume was the customer's exclusive secret ingredient, and it was necessary to add a blend prepared through the secret recipe to make the perfume produce that unique natural fragrance.
The perfume shop owner's reaction naturally did not escape Leo's eyes, and he immediately asked, "Have you ever seen this perfume?"
"Yes. The owner of the perfume shop did not deny it, nodded, and then said, "Please come with me." ”
With that, he instructed the staff of the shop next to him to clean up the perfumes on the table in the order in which Leo had placed them, and then led Leo to his office on the second floor.
After signaling that Leo could sit at will, he turned around and walked to the bookcase on the side, opened a small safe, took out a special shockproof box from it, put it on the table, and then took out a small bottle placed inside, opened the bottle, dipped a small cotton swab in a little perfume and handed it to Leo.
In fact, Leo didn't need to smell the little perfume liquid on the cotton swab carefully, and he could clearly tell that the small bottle of perfume that the perfume shop owner took out was the perfume he was looking for.
However, Leo still took the cotton swab and sniffed it carefully, confirmed it again, and then put the cotton swab down and asked the perfume shop owner, "Is this perfume also unique?"
"It's not a one-of-a-kind product," replied the perfume shop owner as he put the perfume back into the box, "There is a recipe for this perfume, but the recipe I have is only a part of it, and there is a key blender formula in the hands of someone else." Only by adding that special blend can the essence of the perfume be transformed into the perfume with this peculiar smell. ”
"Did someone ask you to make this perfume?" asked Leo again.
"Yes. The owner of the perfume shop nodded, then smiled and said, "If you want to buy this perfume, I can ask the lady for you." ”
"Can you reach her?" asked Leo.
"No, I can't reach the lady. The owner of the perfume shop shook his head and said, "However, the amount of perfume that lady made last time was not very large, and it is estimated that it will be almost used up in the past two days, if that lady still wants to use that perfume, she will definitely come to me and help her make that perfume, and I can ask for it on behalf of her when the time comes." ”
Leo thought for a moment and asked, "Couldn't that lady go to another perfume shop to make this perfume?"
"Please rest assured, I dare to guarantee that I am the only one who has the ability and conditions to make this perfume in the entire city of Dulin. The owner of the perfume shop said with great confidence: "If that lady wants to use this perfume in the near future, she can only come to me." ”
Hearing this, Leo nodded, and said, "Since this is the case, this matter will be entrusted to you." With that, Leo took out the cash check book, filled in a considerable amount, and then wrote the address of his hotel on the sticky note on the table, handed it to the owner of the perfume shop, and said: "This is a deposit, if your Excellency negotiates, I am willing to buy a batch of these perfumes with a large amount of money, the address on this is my current address, I will not leave for the next five or six days, I hope to hear good news during this time." ”
The owner of the perfume shop didn't care much about the deposit paid by Leo, and in his eyes, most of the deposits were just some inconspicuous small amounts, but when he saw the amount on the cash check, the expression on his face couldn't help but change, and the eyes that looked at Leo became different, completely treating Leo as a big financier.
After that, the owner of the perfume shop exchanged a few more words with Leo, and then sent Leo out of the store with great enthusiasm, and repeatedly promised to give Leo a clear answer as soon as possible.
After Leo left the perfume shop, he called a horse-drawn carriage, and then let the carriage drive a small block, stopped, got out of the car and entered the alley next to the block, avoided the main road, and returned to the neighborhood where the perfume shop was located, and then through the spirit network, he found an empty house in the apartment opposite the perfume shop, climbed the wall directly into the house, came to the window where he could see the perfume shop, found a chair, sat by the window, and quietly monitored the perfume shop opposite.
