Chapter 1 Bloodstains in the Deep Forest

One afternoon, with the assistance of two local police officers in Oakland, Inspector Seakel and his assistant Miss Denton intercepted a truck smuggling miniature submachine guns in the middle of the forest road.After a fierce fight, three of the four underworld members were captured on the spot, and Balken, the chief criminal of the arms smuggling, was shot in the left calf by Miss Denton's pistol and fled into the deep forest.

Inspector Seakel immediately ordered two local policemen to escort the captured criminal to the city police station, and led his assistants into the jungle to hunt down the chief criminal, Balken.

After entering the dense forest, the two searched carefully along the bloodstains.Suddenly, there was a dull sound of shotgun shooting and a flickering sound of animals running not far away.It appears that the animal has been injured.Sure enough, when Seacole and Miss Denton chased to a relatively spacious three-way intersection with guns, a line of bloodstains turned into two lines of crossed bloodstains and left and right.Obviously, fugitives and animals are not fleeing on the same road.

How to do?Which line is the fugitive's blood?Miss Denton watched, feeling a little frustrated.But Inspector Seakel used a simple method to identify the whereabouts of the fugitive's blood and finally captured him.

Excuse me, what method did Inspector Seakel use to identify the fugitive's blood?
Where exactly was the fugitive neglected?

[Answer] The salt content in human blood is much higher than that in animal blood. Seacor can identify the two lines of blood with his sensitive tongue.
