"have."
Lin Ziyan replied directly that they had no doubts about the ice she sold, and that they must have already checked.
Otherwise, tonight's visit wouldn't be for an investigation, but to take her away.
"What method?" the police captain asked impatiently.
In the county town, there are no such sophisticated testing methods.
They were sent to the city, but there are still no results.
If the ice factory manager hadn't revealed Lin Ziyan's information, they would still be stuck inside the testing equipment.
"A simple test would suffice to prove that the water used to make edible ice contains several types of bacteria."
After Lin Ziyan finished speaking, she went inside, took out a notebook, and began writing down the method.
She wrote it very briefly, but anyone with a basic understanding of pharmacology can detect it.
When the police captain received the paper, he paused for a few seconds, thinking, "That's it?"
They drove from the county town, and it took them more than an hour, to get this piece of paper?
No, they also found out that the edible ice this girl made was perfectly safe.
The cases in the county town have nothing to do with her.
"I have another question," the police captain said after thinking for a moment and pursing his lips.
"Did you use other methods to remove bacteria from the water you used to make edible ice?"
Lin Ziyan: "That's right, when the testing team came to conduct spot checks, they didn't ask any questions."
"So, I didn't go into details."
The police captain's lips twitched; he couldn't blame her for this.
After all, it's not convenient for them to reveal the secrets of their business.
Those conducting the tests only thought the test strips were the key, but the key was actually the filtered water.
"Thank you for your cooperation. If I need anything in the future, I'll call your village secretary. I might have to trouble you again then." The police captain thanked him sincerely, then smiled at the old woman and turned to leave.
Grandma Lin breathed a sigh of relief. She realized that someone in the county town had been imitating her granddaughter selling edible ice, and something bad had happened.
"Grandma, relax." Lin Ziyan put her arm around her thin shoulders, her eyes slightly curved.
Grandma tapped her forehead with her fingertip, "You're quite something, even teasing me now."
Lin Ziyan hurriedly begged for mercy; she dared not do it again.
"Ayan, are you alright?" Uncle Chen was covered in mud, clearly having just run back from the fields.
Aunt Chen's apron still had fish scales on it, and she looked at her nervously.
"It's alright." Lin Ziyan smiled, feeling a warmth in her heart.
A moment later, the chubby girl came running out with disheveled hair, clearly having just finished showering. "I just took a shower, how did this happen?"
"You brat, you're never here when it matters." Aunt Chen pinched the fat girl's arm.
It was all meat; Aunt Chen could pinch it perfectly every time.
"Ouch! I just took a shower..." the chubby girl shouted.
At the door, Aunt Huang stood with a hoe in her hand. Seeing that nothing was wrong, she nodded to Lin Ziyan and took Hu Zi home.
"They're just asking about the situation, nothing serious," Lin Ziyan explained, noticing Uncle Chen's furrowed brows.
Seeing that everything was alright, the group chatted for a bit and then went home.
In the village, villagers gathered under the big banyan tree, chatting idly.
"That girl from the Lin family is amazing!"
“When those police officers went in, she didn’t even blink; she was completely still.”
"The Lin family's son-in-law is incredibly capable; everyone in the village knows that. And his daughter was the top scorer in Fuzhou's college entrance examination!"
"Tsk, no wonder that miser Wei Er is eyeing that girl from the Lin family. Just wait and see, who knows what kind of trouble he'll cause."
"Let's keep an eye on things and make sure the Lin family doesn't suffer any losses. We're all from the same ancestral hall; we can't let others bully us..."
The others nodded in unison, while the men smoking their pipes wore complex expressions.
They had all received favors from the Lin family.
Everyone in the ancestral hall has received kindness from the Lin family, regardless of their status.
Whenever someone from the ancestral hall came to the Lin family for help, Lin Atai would never turn them away; she would help whenever she could.
During the famine, if it weren't for the Lin family's yard full of potatoes, the ancestral hall would have lost half its people.
Therefore, the Lin family lived a good life, and everyone only envied them and no one dared to say anything strange, because they were capable.
…
the next day,
No one in the village gossiped about it; even if you asked from the other side of the village, they would all say they didn't know.
That was how it ended; the news of the police officers coming to the door didn't spread beyond the village.
Lin Ziyan rested her chin on her hand, looked outside, and felt something was off.
She always felt that the small fishing village was different from other villages.
Are there few gossips?
Lin Atai is washing grapes, preparing to make wine.
"Grandma, the village has a good atmosphere." Lin Ziyan moved a small stool over and sat down next to her to help wash the grapes.
"That's the virtue accumulated by the Lin family over generations."
“Ayan, now that you’re doing well, you should think about the villagers too.”
"A single flower does not make spring, but a hundred flowers blooming together make a garden full of spring."
Lin Atai spoke calmly and slowly.
Lin Ziyan looked at her grandmother and thought, "Wow, she's amazing! She can even write poetry?"
No wonder Grandma Lan often comes here to visit.
Grandma is very wise!
"I understand." Lin Ziyan felt a surge of strength. Since coming here, she had experienced even more of the villagers' simplicity and kindness.
In the past, the news she saw often depicted chaotic arguments between neighbors in the village.
But the community here is exceptionally united and has a strong sense of clan identity.
Clan rules govern morality, which was something lacking in her era.
As times change, it seems that people are always chasing so-called success, which is actually just materialism, and have forgotten to enjoy the pleasures of life.
Those who upheld moral principles were considered outliers in that era.
Knock, knock.
Lin Ziyan's eyes flickered slightly when she saw the person at the door.
