After Ling Ju finished speaking, the onlookers looked at each other, and no one stood up to speak.
Zheng Zong looked around and said, "If you do anything out of line, not only will you have to close the shop, but you'll also have to pay ten yuan to everyone present! Will you do it?"
Ling Ju sneered, "Okay, but I can't just say whatever you say! Zhen Zhen, go to the police station at the corner and call the police. I want everything to happen under their witness!"
When Zheng Zong heard that they were going to call the police, he said a little timidly, "There's no need to call the police. There are so many people watching us!"
"Why not? If you ask me to pay, I have to pay? You have the final say! We have to call the police!"
"Okay, I'll go right away!" Zhen Zhen trotted over.
The police station is not far away, only about two hundred meters from the store.
As soon as Zhen Zhen left, Zheng Zong regretted it. He was just talking nonsense. What if the police came?
The fat body was so guilty that cold sweat broke out on its back.
Ling Ju was not in a hurry. He opened the shop door wide, moved a chair and sat at the door waiting.
More and more people gathered around. Ling Ju glanced around and felt that there were about forty or fifty people, forming a semicircle in front of the store door, and Zheng Zong was at the center of the semicircle.
The onlookers were still whispering, and Ling Ju listened casually and found that they were talking about all kinds of things.
Some people said, "Look at the aura this girl has. You can't find any problems in the store."
"That's not certain. Maybe he's just pretending and will lose his temper once the police arrive."
"If you close the store, do you think you'll give us ten dollars?"
"Old Wu, what are you thinking? You didn't even buy any sauce, so why should I give you ten yuan? If you want to give it to me, give it to me. I bought three bottles!"
Everyone was talking about it, and after about five or six minutes, someone shouted.
"Hey, the police are here!"
Ling Ju looked from a distance and saw Zhen Zhen approaching from about fifty or sixty meters away, followed by two policemen, a man and a woman. They were talking as they walked.
When the police came up, the male police pointed at Zheng Zong and said, "Ling Ju, right? Comrade Zhen Zhen has already told us what happened just now, but I would like to trouble you to repeat it. And you, come here too."
Zheng Zong moved over.
Ling Ju stood up. "Comrade Police Officer, you have to help us! The story goes like this: on the second day after we opened our shop, we clearly marked our prices and completed all necessary paperwork. This man came to buy our sauce, and because we refused to sell it to him for one dollar a bottle, he falsely accused us of making it with cat, dog, and human flesh. He even made a loud noise outside, slandering us."
The male police officer glanced at the fat and big-eared Zheng Zong and asked, "Do you agree with what this comrade said?"
Zheng Zong groaned, "I didn't make any false accusations. I just raised reasonable doubts. I didn't make any noise."
The male police officer gave the female police officer a look, and the female police officer went to ask the crowd.
As soon as he opened his mouth, several enthusiastic uncles and aunts began to answer, "Yes, we all heard it. He was yelling that the shop was made of cat meat, dog meat, and dead human flesh. And there was a little girl in the shop who rolled up her sleeves and was about to hit someone!"
Ling Ju looked at the aunt with great gratitude. If she remembered correctly, she was the aunt who bought the sauce in the first batch yesterday. However, this aunt couldn't eat spicy food and only bought the five-spice sauce.
After the aunt finished speaking, several other people who had passed by earlier also started to tell the police what they had seen. Soon, Zheng Zong's face was as red as his butt.
"Comrade, I am willing to prove my innocence. You can choose two people to come with you into the store and take a look at our kitchen, worktops, sinks, and refrigerators. If there is anything that is not in compliance with the standards, I am willing to close the store today."
The male police officer glanced at Ling Ju's face. She was a pretty girl, but also quite determined. "I'll go in and take a look! Xiao Liu, find two enthusiastic people!"
"Okay, Master!" The policewoman quickly selected two aunts and an uncle.
Ling Ju said to Zhen Zhen and the others, "You guys wait outside. I'll take the police inside to take a look."
"please."
Ling Ju took the male police officer straight into the store.
The first thing you see when you enter the store is the smooth and clean floor. On the left is a row of workbenches with glass jars on them, each containing beef sauce.
On the right is a shelf with some seasonings and sundries on it.
The male police officer reached out and touched it, and found no dust. He walked inside and there was a back door directly opposite.
"This is our back door. Goods usually come in from there. The door on the right is the kitchen door. You can come in and take a look."
After Ling Ju opened the kitchen, the policeman was a little surprised. It was indeed clean. There was even a faint aroma of meat sauce in the kitchen. He didn't even need to go in to see. He could see the very clean stove, sink, and clean rags at the door.
Ling Ju opened the refrigerator again. "This is the beef we use. All of it is ordered from the market. The cattle are slaughtered every morning and delivered to the store after slaughter."
Ling Ju put on gloves and took out a piece. "There's not much left today. You can see if it's real beef."
The male policeman looked at the texture. He didn't eat much beef, but the texture of beef was different from pork, chicken and other meats. Beef also had a certain smell that he was very sensitive to, so he knew it was beef at a glance.
There was not even a trace of blood in the freezer and refrigerator compartment, it was very clean.
"Okay, I'm fine. Let's go out and let the others come in and take a look!"
"OK!"
After Ling Ju took the male police officer out, a female police officer named Xiao Liu entered the store with three enthusiastic people.
After five or six minutes, the aunt in the lead came out with a smile on her face, "Clean! Really clean! All good meat, so fragrant! Buy it with confidence! I, Zhu Yanli, guarantee you that it's all good stuff!"
