Ximen Ka ultimately succeeded in taking Arno around the hospital.
"No scent of the culprit?"
The result left Ximen Ka silent, wondering if his intuition had been wrong.
Although detectives usually saw through the truth by integrating various pieces of information, finding the one truth amid countless chaotic details required something more like a flash of inspiration.
Arno had already inspected the place carefully, and staying at the hospital would only waste time. Before leaving, however, Ximen Ka entered Gu Ze's ward once more, intending to secretly install a surveillance camera there.
He preferred the various methods of detectives, without too many concerns or restrictions from rules.
"Hmm, was this here just now...? Did the Young Lady of Huoyun City leave it behind?"
At that moment, Ximen Ka noticed a palm-sized gift box sitting conspicuously on the small table beside the bed. But he remembered that when Hong Hai arrived, she had only been carrying flowers and a cake box.
Arno suddenly barked twice.
"Another person's scent?" Ximen Ka's gaze froze slightly. In the next moment, he said in a low voice, "Arno!"
At once, the man and dog hurried out of the ward and quickly moved along the corridor. When they passed the nurses' station, Ximen Ka casually picked up the visitor log.
There was no record of any visitors in the book. The last person to sign in was Hong Hai, and before her were him and Little Luo.
Following the scent, the man and dog soon arrived at the underground parking lot. In the end, Arno stopped in an area for shared scooters.
"Can you still follow it?" Ximen Ka couldn't help frowning.
A spirit beast's sense of smell was powerful, but it wasn't omnipotent... Unless it came from some special substance, a scent would eventually vanish
