"I just wanted to know if you'd been somewhere in the past three days where you smelled something unusual," Felix told the woman.

Snakefruits had a particularly strong fragrance, but regular people wouldn't be able to tell where the smell was coming from. Also, the snakefruit scent would only last a maximum of three days on a person before disappearing. That was why Felix structured his question like that.

The woman frowned as she thought for a long time.

There were ways for people to verify the authenticity of banknotes online nowadays. So, Felix just closed the case back up and passed it to her.
