Rather, it's a question of logical deductions. They have been thorough in their desecration of the shrine, but haven't wasted time hacking the cherry trees. They thus didn't felt confident enough to stay any further. Which means they probably didn't pass through a path where they could have easily been seen. Village is in that direction, in this one there's too much vegetation, but they could have went through this and that and this, » she says, pointing various features of the landscape, « and stayed under the cover of the hills. Or they could have went through this path, for example, but probably not this one. »In other words, she's using her knowledge of survival, geography, and nature, as well as her past experience, to try to get an idea of the path followed by the bandits. If several paths seems possible, it isn't much of a problem, as more enquiries and inspections of other sites will allow to recoup her guesses.</blockquote>
