It was the blood beneath his fingernails that exposed Kobayashi as a ghoul and what Urie picked up.

The scent of a ghoul wasn´t the trigger for his sense of smell, if that was the case, then Urie wouldn´t had a single problem with identifying ghouls on the first encounter and he was clueless about Sasaki´s half-ghoul nature until it was exposed in the open... By all account, I suspect that his senses, based on what we seen this far, might be the weakest ones of the Quinx.

(Shirazu: Super hearing, Saiko: Super hearing, capable of identifying precise sounds and numbers. Mutsuki: enhanced eyesight, capable of spotting Torso´s eyes and deduct his intentions from a imnpressive distance... Urie however have only displayed a heightened sense of smell, and even that is shown to be not enough to track down ghouls properly... since the scent of blood linger around more than just ghouls... butchers, surgeons, dentists, doctors, nurses, vets... even a noosebleed would bring that scent around someone and that alone is the vaguest evidence regarding potential ghoul activities... unless he can distuingish human blood in the exhale air of a ghoul, but that would mean that the ghoul in question would have to had recently eaten for that to stick...)

I wonder... does ghouls brush their teeth after their meals? They have to cover the blood up somehow and since one doesn´t eat toothpaste, would they be able to handle having it foaming up in their mouths without puking?

If they can brush their teeth, then Urie´s senses are in a way, close to insignificant. He´s more of a fighter than a investigator, relying solely on his own deductions to make a judgement... And even then, the only reason he got the trail on Torso, was because of Chie´s intervention and addition of a clue.

I´m still in disbelief over how he expected to be promoted and take all the glory for arresting Torso, when all he did in this whole thing was stealing Haise´s underwear.

(In all seriousness, Haise and Mutsuki did all the work, Mutsuki was the one that found and distracted Torso and all the info Urie got was just the stuff Chie handed over to him on a silverplate, camera, photos and even the name of Torso himself. All without much effort on Urie´s part...yet he expect the full credit for it?!)

Don´t be kidding me.

I hope Urie gets what he deserves... Turned into a one-eyed ghoul from opening his frames all the way out. (I somehow highly doubt that he would just settle with opening the F3 frame, not after witnessing Sasaki go at it...)

And once he´s turned into a ghoul, I´m looking forward to see him break down and realize the errors in his ways when it has become too late to undo any of it.

Maybe then he finally starts relying on his team more when he has lost all chance for a promotion and the source of his selfish ambitions...

Way too early to say anything for certain, but it looks like it´s heading that way for him...
