Chapter 48: Witnesses and Physical Evidence
Just when almost everyone was about to defect to Lin Xi's side, a tall man suddenly appeared and quickly helped Old Lady Wang up.
"Wang Xingxiong." Lin Xi looked at the man in front of her coldly. Well, now the mother and son are working together to plot against her.
"Lin Xi," Wang Xingxiong helped Old Lady Wang up and shouted at Lin Xi angrily, "If you have a grudge against our Wang family, just come after me. Why target my mother?"
Lin Xi was completely confused. What had she done? She hadn't even seen Old Lady Wang in the past few days.
"Wang Xingxiong, you have to back your words with evidence. If you can't produce evidence today, we'll meet at the county government office!" Lin Xi was also angry.
Originally, today was a good day for Lin's reopening, and the customers were looking forward to it very much. However, such a good opportunity was ruined by the Wang family.
"Hmph, don't use the county magistrate to pressure me. Everyone knows that you, Lin Ji, like to use sick pork to make bacon. But I thought you at least had some conscience and wouldn't harm people from the same village. I didn't expect you to harm an old lady like my mother. Lin Xi, how could you do this!"
Faced with Wang Xingxiong's numerous accusations, Lin Xi found it extremely absurd.
"After saying so much, do you have any evidence?" Lin Xi asked.
"Evidence! Do you think I, Wang Xingxiong, am talking nonsense? Of course I have evidence!" Wang Xing'an glanced towards a place not far away.
Another man walked over. Lin Xi was very familiar with this man. He was none other than Ge Xuecai, who had worked here before.
With the two from the Wang family plus Ge Xuecai, Lin Xi could tell with just a thought that these guys must have colluded to cause trouble for her.
"Please look everyone, what I have in my hand is Lin's bacon." Ge Xuecai was holding a piece of bacon, which was exactly the same as the one sold in Linxi store now.
"Lin's is the only shop in our town that sells bacon. To be honest, we can't fake it even if we want to, don't you think?" said Ge Xuecai.
The guests around all agreed with this statement, saying that Lin’s bacon is indeed unique and there is basically no possibility of imitation.
"But, the old lady of the Wang family ate Lin's bacon and suddenly she had severe abdominal pain. We brought the old lady to the town to see a doctor, and the doctor said she had eaten something wrong. All the other things were common, but after much thought, the bacon was the only thing she had never had before." said Ge Xuecai.
At first, everyone thought that the old lady was being unreasonable, but as things developed to the point where someone took out Lin’s bacon, the situation seemed to be turning around.
Lin Xi frowned, took the bacon from Ge Xuecai's hand, looked at it carefully, and it was her bacon, no problem.
But she was sure that she had never given any bacon to the Wang family. The most likely possibility was that Ge Xuecai secretly took some bacon when he was in the store.
Lin Xi knew about this at the time, but in order to catch Ge Xuecai's flaws, she chose to turn a blind eye.
Unexpectedly, it has now become evidence.
"Well, Lin Xi, do you have nothing to say? In that case, just pay the money obediently." Ge Xuecai came out of the house.
"Wait a minute," Lin Xi took a deep breath, "The bacon in your hand is indeed my family's bacon, but there is absolutely no way there can be anything wrong with my family's bacon!"
"Lin Xi, open your eyes and look carefully. The old lady is in this state, shouldn't you be responsible? We are from the same village, but I didn't expect you to be such a person!" Ge Xuecai looked heartbroken.
"Lin Xi, my mother is so old, and she came here just to ask for an explanation. Don't you want to take this little responsibility?" Wang Xingxiong followed behind Ge Xuecai and immediately added.
Now, Lin Xi has been described by them as an irresponsible murderer. Lin Xi feels that he has no way to defend himself and feels very wronged.
"When did I say I don't want to be responsible!" Lin Xi straightened his back. "Everyone here should know that I will be responsible for any problems with the things that Lin Ji sends out. However, the things in your hands are indeed from Lin Ji, but it's hard to say whether they came from me or not."
Wang Xingxiong couldn't believe it. "Lin Xi, what are you still talking about now? You just admitted that the bacon belongs to Lin's. Now that something went wrong, shouldn't you compensate for it?"
"Wang Xingxiong, you must be responsible for what you say. Everything my Linji sells out comes with a receipt. Do you have one?" Lin Xi asked in return.
The other customers present also echoed, "Yes, yes, Lin's shop will give you a receipt. We all have one. If there is any problem, just bring this and we will handle it."
The Wang family members were panicked at this. Ge Xuecai had not thought of this. When he stole the bacon, he only thought about eating it and did not care about whether there was a receipt or not.
Ge Xuecai said dryly, "You gave a lot of them to the villagers. You didn't buy them with money, so how can you have a receipt?"
"Oh, so it was me who sent it..." Lin Xi deliberately dragged out the tone, "Since it was me who sent it, then where is the letter that came with it?"
letter?
Ge Xuecai and the mother and son of the Wang family never expected that Lin Xi would do this. How could this little bitch use one trick after another?
Why does this woman need to attach a letter when giving someone a piece of meat? Is there something wrong with her?
"What's wrong? You can't take it out?" Lin Xi said, "Let's talk about it again. Even if we don't discuss how you got the meat, just talking about the meat itself, the things produced by Lin Ji can never be poisonous."
While speaking, Lin Xi called out the system and asked, "Shennong System, can you test whether this meat is poisonous or not?"
[Ding, host needs detected, toxicity analysis can be performed, this analysis consumes 1 experience point. ]
[Analysis in progress]
【Analysis completed】
[The surface of the bacon is coated with croton powder, which is often used to treat gastrointestinal cold stagnation and abdominal distension and pain. It is not recommended that the host treat it as poison]
It turned out that it was coated with croton. Lin Xi said, "Everyone, is there anything wrong with my bacon? Let's ask a doctor and we'll know."
After that, Lin Xi stuffed a few coins into one of the spectators' pockets and said in a gentle voice, "Brother, can you please do me a favor and ask a doctor to come over?"
The man borrowed the money and immediately ran out to find a doctor.
"Don't block the door, come in and have some tea, eat something and take a rest." Lin Xi turned around and invited them in.
At this time, Mrs. Wang intuitively realized that she would not be able to get anything good from Lin Xi this time, so she raised her foot and wanted to leave. However, Lin Xi would not give her this opportunity and stopped her with a smile.
"Madam, the doctor will be here soon. We will know whether it is our fault or not. Don't worry, if it is really Lin Ji's fault, I will be responsible to the end even if you got the bacon by means I don't know. If it is not my fault and you have wronged me, I will definitely investigate it to the end."
