The human olfactory organ was the nose, and the olfactory function was the various neurons in the nostrils.
Generally speaking, in order to have a more sensitive sense of smell and differentiate scents, more olfactory cells were needed. For example, humans had about 5 million olfactory cells, while dogs had 100 to 200 million olfactory cells. Therefore, dogs had a much better sense of smell than humans.
Xiang Kun had been thinking about it. He could feel an obvious increase in his muscles when he increased his strength. Moreover, when he exerted his strength, his muscles were as hard as steel and seemed to be much tougher than normal people. It was obvious that his muscle fibers had been strengthened and changed.
Then what changes would happen to his organs when his sense of smell improved?
Are there more sniffing cells or related nerves?
Or could it be that a single cell had been enhanced, and its effect was much stronger than that of an ordinary human's sniffing cell?
There was no obvious change in the appearance of his nose, so the latter seemed more likely.
If Xiang Kun had a medical background and relevant equipment, he would probably have gotten some samples of his own nasal cavity to study. After all, his recovery ability was very strong, so taking some samples would not affect him.
Maybe this discovery alone could win a Nobel Prize or something.
…
On August 2, more than a day had passed since Xiang Kun had been stabbed on July 31.
Yesterday and today, he still followed the plan and rhythm that he had set. He went to the gym during the day to train, and at night, he wandered the streets to train his hearing and sense of smell. At the same time, he was also a "database" that collected all kinds of sounds and smells.
Besides, he had a vague feeling that training at night would work better.
This required further experiments.
Ever since he had talked to Officer Chen on WeChat yesterday and found out that the suspect was wanted, Xiang Kun had not paid much attention to this matter. In his opinion, the suspect would not have escaped the police's attention if his real identity had been exposed. As for whether the smell he had "collected" from the glove box the night before came from the suspect, he did not want to verify it.
However, this was how things were sometimes. If one had the heart to plant flowers, they would not be able to bloom flowers. If one did not have the heart to plant flowers, they would be able to grow trees into shade. Xiang Kun did not think of looking for the suspect, but the suspect appeared before him.
To be precise, the suspect's scent was within Xiang Kun's sense of smell.
At around 6 pm, Xiang Kun came out of the gym. He was about to follow the planned route to train his sense of smell and hearing. However, after taking a few steps, he suddenly smelled a familiar scent from the crowd.
The night before, Xiang Kun had endured the stench and searched through the rubbish bin to find the bloody gloves left behind by the suspect. Although the process was rather unbearable, the smell left a deep impression on him. Moreover, it had only been two days.
Xiang Kun immediately looked around for the suspect. Judging from the smell, the suspect should be less than ten meters away from him.
Although he had been focusing on training his sense of smell and hearing during this period of time, he had not let go of his vision, especially since he was always walking around at night. Therefore, his ability to see at night had improved greatly. In addition to targeted training, his dynamic vision had also increased to a certain extent.
Xiang Kun looked around quickly but did not find his target.
Soon, he felt that the smell had become fainter. The target was getting further away from him.
Xiang Kun frowned slightly. He did not have a strong sense of justice and wanted to catch the wanted criminal. In fact, he just wanted to keep a low profile and not expose his abilities. Therefore, even if he found the suspect, he only informed Officer Chen to come and arrest him. He did not say that he had to catch the suspect and act like a hero.
However, Xiang Kun did not see anyone when he smelled them. It was as though he had not finished peeing. Xiang Kun felt uncomfortable.
Hence, he followed the direction of the smell and slowly walked forward. He focused his attention and carefully searched for the target that emitted the smell.
About ten minutes later, he finally saw a thin, dark man with curly yellow hair and sunglasses in front of a cell phone repair shop.
Although she had seen the photo of the suspect that Officer Chen had sent her, it was an identification photo and a few blurry photos taken by the surveillance cameras. However, to be honest, there was a huge difference between the real person and the photo, especially the photo with the fluffy yellow hair. It was all black hair and a crew cut.
With Xiang Kun's eyesight, he could basically confirm that the yellow-haired man was the wanted suspect that Officer Chen had sent him.
Just as Xiang Kun took out his phone and reported to Officer Chen on WeChat that he had discovered a wanted criminal, he heard a shout from behind him that made him jump.
"Mr. Xiang!"
Stunned, Xiang Kun turned around and saw that it was Baona and the girl he had met at the gym. They were walking towards him with a glass of fruit juice each.
"Mr. Xiang, who are you messaging? Why didn't you hear anything after calling for so long?" The girl walking with Baona asked curiously.
Xiang Kun knew that he must have been too focused on his sense of smell and sight, so he had blocked out a large amount of sound. That was why he did not hear them call him.
However, Xiang Kun was still confused. If Baona was the one who said that, it would have been fine. But what was with the girl beside Baona? I don't know you well, right? Why are you talking to me like that?
However, he had no time to answer them. His first reaction was to turn around and look in the direction of the suspect.
Perhaps it was because the girl's voice was too loud that attracted his attention, or perhaps it was something else, but the blonde turned to look at him.
The two of them looked at each other.
Although they only looked at each other for a split second, Xiang Kun quickly looked away "naturally" as though he was looking at the scenery on the other side of the street.
However, the blonde seemed to have realized something and suddenly quickened his pace.
"F*ck!" Xiang Kun cursed. He turned around and said to Baona, "I'll contact you later!" Then he ran after the suspect.
At this moment, there were many people on the street. Those who had just gotten off work and were about to go for dinner were very crowded. The suspect was obviously an experienced escapee. He walked through the crowd and soon disappeared from Xiang Kun's sight. It was unknown if he had run into a shop or alley.
Previously, Xiang Kun was afraid that the suspect would discover him. After confirming his target, he did not get too close and maintained a distance. Therefore, he did not catch up with the suspect immediately.
If it had been anyone else, they would have been searching or trying to guess the suspect's escape route. However, Xiang Kun had locked onto the suspect's scent and was not worried about losing him.
He even had the time to take out his phone and send his location to Officer Chen. However, Officer Chen couldn't sit still anymore and called him directly.
