When Liuliu arrived, this guy even called the police.
Xiao Bai sighed, "Liuliu, the problem has been solved, and the money has been returned."
"what?"
Liu Liu was stunned. She ran over, looked at Xiao Zhou, then at everyone's relaxed expressions, scratched her head, and said, "It's resolved? Then what was the point of calling the police?"
Robin said casually, "Then you should call the police officer back."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a police siren sounded from the alley entrance.
Although it was only a few short sounds, a police car did drive up and stop near the stationery store.
Two police officers in uniform got out of the car and walked towards this side.
One of the younger officers asked, "Who called the police just now? Saying there was a dispute here?"
Liuliu immediately raised her hand and puffed out her little chest: "It was me! Police officer! I was the one who called the police!"
The shop owner, who had already sat back down in his bamboo chair and was fanning himself with a palm leaf fan, quickly stood up when he saw the police arrive, and his expression changed.
The young policeman walked to the shop entrance, looked at the group of children, then at the shop owner, and asked, "What's going on?"
Xiao Bai stepped forward and briefly explained what had happened.
The shop owner hurriedly explained, "Officer, this is a misunderstanding! I was probably confused and took the wrong money. I've already returned it to them! These kids... they're making quite a fuss."
The older policeman looked at Xiaozhou, noticing the condition of his eyes, then at Liuliu, and then his gaze swept over the children before settling on Xiao Mi's face. A smile appeared on his serious face: "It's Xiao Mi."
Xiaomi grinned and called out, "Uncle Han."
The shop owner's heart skipped a beat; he knew he was in trouble.
Officer Han turned to the shop owner, his expression turning serious: "Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, we can find out by checking the security footage. You have security cameras in your shop, right?"
Dudu immediately answered, "Yes! He has them in his shop! They're right there! I saw them!"
The shop owner stammered, "Yes, yes, there is..."
"Let's check it." The policeman's tone left no room for argument, and he immediately praised Dudu, "Little friend, you have a very keen eye!"
Robin immediately added, "I saw it too! It's right there!!! Officer!"
The police officer also complimented her.
The shop owner reluctantly returned to the shop and turned on the surveillance video on the computer.
Policeman, Xiaobai, Liuliu, Xiaozhou and others gathered around the small computer screen.
Suddenly, Xiao Zhou's pants were tugged, and then a soft, childlike voice sounded in his ear: "Xiao Zhou, you can't see, let me help you see. Move aside so I can stand in front."
It's Robin.
Xiao Zhou stepped back two steps, allowing Robin to stand in front.
Robin had just stood still when she noticed everyone was looking at her, not at the screen. Instead of being embarrassed, she grinned and giggled.
The surveillance footage is clear: about half an hour ago, Xiao Zhou walked into the store alone, groped her way to the counter, took out a ten-yuan bill from her pocket and handed it to the owner. The owner took the money, looked down and rummaged in the drawer, then took out three bills and handed them to Xiao Zhou.
The surveillance footage clearly shows that the three banknotes are all one-yuan banknotes in size and color, and are definitely not five-yuan banknotes.
More importantly, when the shopkeeper handed over the money, he looked up at Xiaozhou's face to make sure he couldn't see, and even a barely perceptible smile appeared on his lips before stuffing three one-yuan bills into his hand.
"This wasn't intentional?!" The young policeman pointed at the screen, his voice becoming stern.
The children all turned to look at the shop owner, their faces filled with disdain.
pia~~
Robin slammed a small hand on the table, his face contorted with anger. "This wasn't intentional!! This was intentional!! So arrogant! Humph!!"
Without making a sound, Xiaobai stood behind Robin and pulled her into his arms.
This little devil is really dramatic! And she's so bold; I'm really worried she might attack the shop owner in a fit of anger.
Sweat beaded on the shop owner's forehead as he stubbornly insisted, "I... I didn't see it clearly at the time, I thought it was five yuan..."
"Didn't you see it clearly?"
Officer Han pointed at the screen and said, "Look, you even glanced at the child before handing over the money! How can you say you didn't see clearly? You're just being unfair, taking advantage of the child's poor eyesight!"
Ironclad evidence.
The two police officers exchanged a glance, and Officer Han gave the shop owner a stern reprimand:
"Doing business requires integrity! What you're doing isn't just about shortchanging a few dollars; it's about bullying the vulnerable, it's a moral issue! If you bully children today, will you bully the elderly tomorrow? Who would dare to patronize a shop like yours?"
"Yes, yes, officer, I was wrong, I was confused for a moment..."
The shop owner bowed and scraped, completely losing his previous arrogance. Suddenly, he noticed a child rapidly taking notes in a notebook and hurriedly asked, "What are you writing down?"
Xiao Weiwei said, "I'm a junior reporter, I'm going to write this down and write a news article later."
"you!……"
The shop owner was furious, but before he could speak, Officer Han interrupted him, saying, "You still have the mind to worry about a child's record? Talk about your own problems first! Do you even realize the seriousness of the situation? If you don't understand, I don't mind calling the market supervision department to conduct a full inspection of your shop."
Xiao Bai suddenly asked, "Officer, is the market supervision department specifically in charge of this kind of thing?"
Officer Han said yes, and explained it to her.
Xiao Bai's eyes lit up, and the shop owner's heart skipped a beat again. What if these kids called the market regulators later?!
He hurriedly examined his own problems.
Finally, he repeatedly assured them, "I won't do it again, I definitely won't do it again!"
After educating the shop owner, the police officer turned to the children and said, "Kids, you did the right thing today! When you encounter injustice, you should dare to stand up and protect yourselves and your classmates. But next time, remember to ask an adult for help first, or call the police directly. Don't take risks on your own."
Liuliu quickly said, "Yes, yes, yes! The policeman is right! That's exactly what I did! We are angels of justice. When we encounter difficulties, we shouldn't do it ourselves. We are still young, like flowers, so let the adults do it!"
The police officer smiled and complimented her a couple of times.
Xiao Bai nodded, "I understand, thank you, police officer."
Xiao Zhou also whispered, "Thank you."
The policeman patted Xiaozhou on the head and said to the shop owner, "Apologize formally to this child!"
The shop owner had no choice but to walk up to Xiao Zhou, his face flushed, and whisper, "I'm sorry, little friend, it was my fault."
Xiao Zhou nodded, when suddenly a small hand covered his mouth to prevent him from saying thank you again.
Officer Han asked Xiaobai, "Xiaobai, what are your plans to do? The boss has already apologized and realized his mistake. We can leave it at that, or you can investigate further by asking the market supervision department to come."
The shop owner hurriedly begged for mercy. He was truly afraid of these kids. Not only were they tough and dared to confront him head-on, but they also had a lot of influence. The police knew them, and the shop owners in the surrounding area also knew them.
Suddenly, he remembered something, picked up the watermelon soaking in the plastic basin, and handed it to a rather sturdy-looking child.
"Take it home and eat it, it's a great watermelon!"
Liuliu: "……→_→"
What does it mean for good fortune to fall from the sky? This is what it means for good fortune to fall from the sky!
Without a word, a large watermelon landed in her arms!
Liuliu was a little confused, then wanted to laugh, but quickly held it back, knowing that she couldn't laugh in this situation. Not only could she not laugh, but she had to react in the opposite way.
The next second, her face changed drastically, and she said angrily, "Boss, what do you mean by this?! You're insulting me!!! Shovel!! I can't stand this insult, I'm going to die with the watermelon."
As he spoke, he grabbed the watermelon and was about to bang his head against the ground.
The two policemen and the shop owner were startled and quickly stopped her, some holding her hand and others grabbing her waist. The shop owner knelt down, hugging Liuliu's legs and begging her not to do this, saying that his heart couldn't take it.
Meanwhile, none of the people from Little Red Malay moved. They watched the show with great interest, completely unconcerned that Liu Liu would actually bring about her own destruction.
"Let me go! Let me go!!" Liuliu shouted.
The shop owner hurriedly said, "No, little kid, please calm down. I didn't mean anything by it. I just wanted to offer you some melon seeds! There's no need for such a big reaction, let alone trying to kill yourself..."
After everyone's persuasion, Liuliu finally calmed down. Xiaobai noticed that she was sweating profusely; she was really going all out for the role.
The police didn't dare to be careless and personally escorted Xiaobai and the others back to Little Red Horse. They only left after seeing them enter the yard.
Meanwhile, the atmosphere outside the stationery store did not lighten.
The crowd hadn't dispersed yet; those who were close enough had seen what the surveillance footage had shown. At that moment, everyone looked at the shop owner with obvious disdain.
The owner of the fruit shop next door, a straightforward middle-aged woman, spoke up directly: "Mr. Wang, what you did was not fair! Bullying a little child, especially one with visual impairment, how can you live with yourself?"
The owner of another boutique also shook his head: "If this is how it is for a new store opening, who will dare to buy anything from you in the future?"
"Yeah, it's just a few dollars, is it really that big of a deal?"
"Even children understand these principles, how can you, an adult, not?"
"I'll never buy from you again. Who knows if you'll 'misread the money' again?"
The surrounding chatter wasn't loud, but every word reached the shop owner's ears clearly. His face flushed red and then turned pale as he stood at the shop entrance, wishing he could disappear into the ground.
