The quiet street that he thought had fallen into a " deep sleep " was now filled with the sounds of conversations, television, and cell phones. Many people were still awake.
The street that he had thought was empty was now filled with insects and small animals moving in every corner, dark corner, and ditch.
It was difficult to not hear the sounds that he had to focus on a few days ago. These sounds and smells had been integrated into his sensory database, becoming the basis and experience for him to judge the surrounding environment.
Compared to hearing, the sense of smell gave him a much stronger sense of strangeness and novelty. There were many smells that he had smelled for the first time.
He wanted to determine the source of these smells, label them, and " enter " them into his " database."
Every adult had their own 'database' of their sense of smell and hearing, which was the so-called experience. It was like smelling rotten eggs in a crowd and knowing that someone had farted. Hearing the footsteps upstairs, one could also tell if they were wearing high heels, slippers, or barefoot.
Xiang Feng, on the other hand, needed to " update " his " database " after his sensory organs had been greatly improved. Only then would the improvement of his senses be effective.
……
Xiang Feng suddenly stopped and looked at the corner of the street to the east.
It was now 11:47 pm. At this time, some streets were still very lively, while some streets were almost empty.
The area he was in now was relatively deserted. There were not many merchants and residents. In addition, many old houses that were about to be demolished were empty. After 10 p. m., there were very few pedestrians. Only the occasional electric bike delivering food passed by.
Xiang Feng had originally planned to go there. The quieter and darker the place, the more sensitive his senses would be. It would eliminate all kinds of city-specific, chaotic sounds and smells, making it easier for him to carry out targeted training.
But now, he hesitated because he smelled a scent. It was the smell of blood, and it was very likely human blood.
It was also because he had encountered the attack on the couple downstairs a few days ago, and his sense of smell had become much stronger during this period of time that he could distinguish between human blood, rabbit blood, and chicken blood.
But now, even though they were far away, Xiang Feng couldn't be 100% sure that it was human blood.
If it was human blood, something must have happened there.
Xiang Feng didn't want to get involved in any more trouble. The previous incident had happened right under his nose, and the victim was someone he knew. He couldn't just sit back and do nothing.
But now…
If there was trouble in that direction, he just had to change directions. He didn't know what was going on there, so it couldn't be considered as leaving him to die, right?
Besides, there might not really be someone injured and bleeding there. Perhaps he had smelled the wrong thing and it was not human blood? Or was it just someone playing and accidentally fell and bled?
With this thought in mind, Xiang Feng took two steps in the opposite direction. However, two seconds later, he let out a long sigh and rushed in the direction of the suspected human blood.
He knew that with his personality, if he didn't go there today to check, he would never be able to get rid of this mystery for months or years. It was not because he felt guilty that he might miss the opportunity to save her, but more because he was curious...
……
The place where the smell of blood came from was only thirty meters away from Xiang Feng. He quickly rushed past the corner and saw a figure lying in a pile of building materials.
Was it really a human?
Xiang Feng didn't have time to be satisfied with his ability to identify the smell of human blood. He took out his phone and dialed 110 while paying attention to his surroundings. He slowly approached the person who had fallen to the ground.
However, based on Xiang Feng's senses, the murderer was no longer nearby.
Not long after, the police arrived, followed by the ambulance. As the first person to discover the crime scene and the person who reported it, Xiang Feng was naturally detained by the police for questioning.
The police officer who had just arrived at the scene simply confirmed his identity. Then, in order to know how he found the scene and called the police, he asked him to wait for a while.
After a while, a criminal police officer came. Xiang Feng looked at him and saw that he was familiar with him. It was this officer surnamed Chen who had taken his statement when he was handling the assault case on the couple downstairs.
Officer Chen obviously recognized Xiang Feng. After all, his characteristics were too distinct.
"You know this victim? How did the murderer escape?" Based on Officer Chen's judgment of Xiang Feng's skills, logically speaking, even if the other party had a weapon, Xiang Feng should still be able to fight.
" I don't know him," Xiang Feng said quickly." I just happened to pass by and heard some noise, so I came over to take a look…"
"It's so late. Where are you going?" Officer Chen asked.”
"Oh, I'm planning to go to Fuxiang Street to eat some barbecue," said Xiang Feng.”
"Are you still living on Hua Wen Street? He walked all the way here? Isn't that a little far?" Officer Chen asked curiously.
"Since I don't have anything to do tonight, I'm not in a hurry. I'll just walk and exercise.”Xiang Feng said.
Officer Chen nodded and asked again about the whole process of him hearing the commotion and finding the injured. But this time, it was much more detailed than the previous police officer.
In fact, Xiang Feng did not hear anything. When he smelled the blood, the murderer should have left long ago. Otherwise, with his hearing, it was impossible for him not to hear anything.
However, if he didn't say that, he really couldn't explain why he would appear here. This place was really a little remote. There was no reason for him to come here at all. Could it be that he was here to relieve himself?
This time, Officer Chen didn't bring Xiang Feng back to the police station to make a statement. After questioning him, he left him a phone number and instructed,"I might need your help in the investigation later. I'll call you. If you remember anything, you can call me and tell me.”
Xiang Feng agreed and prepared to leave.
When he answered Officer Chen's question, he observed that the police next to him went to the ATM machine on the opposite street to check. With his strong hearing, he also heard the conversation between the police officers. He knew that the victim had just gone to the ATM to withdraw money before he was attacked. The murderer might have followed him all the way there.
Xiang Feng had originally planned to go back the way he had taken before, but after a few steps, he changed his mind. He suddenly had an idea that he wanted to give it a try.
