I wonder if they're actually properly verifying ghouls on sight via their scent. The scene showed them catching the scent and leading them there, but since the situation pretty easily made it apparent it was a ghoul woman and child, I wonder if they did not just arbitrarily judge it as a target they'd been looking for in a period of time. Confirmed Quinx like the first and second batch don't possess the ability to tell ghoul from human without the scent of their blood on them, and unlike Kaneki who has been utterly incapable of verifying via scent it's a lot harder to judge if the other artificial or even the natural one-eyed ghouls are capable of such verification.

This is just circumstantial doubt, but "excellent noses" doesn't necessarily mean a perfect scanner-like sense. I don't think the hiding-vs-investigator element has been entirely bypassed, just upgraded in terms of special senses in a greater quantity of members.
