The style of the pot is novel and unique, the overall lines are smooth, the light blue background contrasts with the figures, flowers and birds, and even the technique of enamel filigree is used.

"This is a new product that just arrived the day before yesterday. It is a soup pot specially designed for induction cookers. It has a sandwich in the middle and is made of ceramic on the outside. This kind of pot is of high quality, with a price tag of 2,880."

While the saleswoman was talking, Hu Pingtao picked up the pot and looked at it carefully.

She wasn't exaggerating.

It is a very common household soup pot with a ceramic shell. Of course, it can be used directly on a gas stove, but it is really a waste of money. The most suitable use is an induction cooker, which is perfect for making soup and serving dishes.

The surface of the pot is smooth and feels very comfortable to the touch. When he first saw it, Hu Pingtao thought it was made of cloisonné, but later he found out that the difference was very big. Overall, the price of 2,800 yuan is not a big deal.

Too high, value for money.

The saleswoman had a loud voice. Seeing Hu Pingtao studying it carefully, she became more confident and her voice became louder.

He pointed at the helpless young girl standing across from him, and almost stabbed her in the face with his finger, spitting stars flying everywhere: "I told you before, this pot is very expensive, so don't touch it if it's okay.

. It’s better for you, you picked it up and looked at it non-stop, and you didn’t admit that you broke something, so you turned around and wanted to run away. If I hadn’t caught it quickly with my sharp eyes, you wouldn’t even have a shadow now.”

The name on the young girl's ID card is Kong Linjuan, 22 years old, from the southwest, and a native of Mengzhou.

"I didn't...it really wasn't me who broke it!" Kong Linjuan's face flushed with anxiety and she defended repeatedly. She was thin, and the weather was hot, so she was dressed very coolly, with a pair of flip-flops on her feet.

Looks weak.

It's not intentional, Mengzhou is located in the tropics, and many people there dress like this.

The saleswoman glared at her angrily: "I've been watching here! No one has touched it except you all morning, and it's you who did it!"

"What's wrong with a young person? Do you have to destroy it? If it's an ordinary cheap product, if it breaks, it's broken. I'm not the kind of person who cares about everything. At the worst, just tell the manufacturer and exchange it for a new one. But you can do it yourself.

Look at this pot

The price tag is more than 2,000, almost 3,000. The delivery from the manufacturer comes with a quality guarantee. If it is damaged, it will not be returned or exchanged. After getting off the car, I went to the store, and there was no problem when I unpacked and inspected the goods. Now you are

If it's broken, who will I look for if I don't look for you?"

Hu Pingtao was confused when he heard this, because when he looked at the ceramic pot just now, he didn't find anything wrong with it. He quickly interrupted the saleswoman and asked seriously: "What's wrong with this pot? I don't have any problem with it."

See it!"

The female saleswoman reached out to pick up the pot, first took off the lid, then turned the pot over, pointing to the edge of the convex part on the outside of the bottom of the pot: "That's right here, she broke it when she put it down."

There was a very small depression right next to her finger. It was about the same size as a mung bean, but shallower than that. Hu Pingtao brought the pot to his eyes and observed it carefully - as the female salesperson said, it was an external force collision.

As a result, a piece of porcelain fell off, but because the porcelain color of the pot body completely penetrated and integrated with the surroundings, it was easy to cause visual confusion at first glance. Only by touching it with your hands or looking very carefully can you find any abnormalities.

If a small piece of porcelain falls off, the pot becomes a defective product.

Kong Linjuan was so anxious that she even spoke incoherently: "I really didn't do it. I had never seen this kind of pot before, so I picked it up to take a look out of curiosity. And I took the lid of the pot, not the lower part! This is not me.

I did it...I swear, if I lie, I will die badly!"

The saleswoman spat at her with disdain: "Swearing is useless. I have seen you like this too many times. You tell lies and make yourself look like the Holy Mother of the White Lotus. In fact, men steal and women prostitute, and they are full of evil."

"

She then turned to Hu Pingtao and spoke as fast as a machine gun: "I'm telling you, don't believe her. There are few people in this supermarket early in the morning, and usually there are more people coming after noon. She is a woman,

She is young and today is not the weekend. She is just idle and does not go to work. When she comes here, she wanders around and breaks things and wants to run away. How can such a good thing happen? "

To prove her words, the female saleswoman pointed to Kong Linjuan's hand: "Look carefully, people who normally come to the supermarket to buy things are either pushing shopping carts or holding shopping baskets. It's good for her, she has nothing."

"Look at what she is wearing. Her shoulders and arms are exposed at the top, and her thighs are exposed at the bottom. I can't even tell you how short the pants are, but she's almost naked... Is this how a normal girl wears it? That's so big

When you wear slippers and go shopping during the day, do you think this is your own home?"

"If you ask me, she is obviously in a shady business, the kind who goes out to sleep with men at night. When I got up early in the morning and had nowhere to go, I thought of going to the supermarket, but she broke my pot...

…She must accompany her, and she must pay not a penny less.”

The female saleswoman's words were obviously filled with subjective consciousness and even included personal attacks. Although Kong Linjuan was a coward, she couldn't bear it when she heard these words. She bit her lower lip hard, feeling embarrassed and angry: "Why are you talking?

Which of your eyes saw me working at night? Does what I wear have anything to do with you?"

The saleswoman had a fierce look on her face and snorted coldly: "You are just an immoral woman anyway."

"Okay, please stop saying a few words." Hu Pingtao interrupted at the right time: "Don't make unreasonable guesses, and don't attack others verbally. It's her freedom to do what she does and what she wears. She has something to say.

Why did you suddenly switch from the pot issue to that issue inexplicably? I'm warning you, don't go too far!"

Seeing that Hu Pingtao ignored her, the female saleswoman quickly changed her words: "She has to pay for it. Anyway, she broke the pot, and dozens of people were watching! This can't be ignored."

Kong Linjuan was so anxious that she was sweating profusely: "I told you that I didn't do it. I just picked it up to look at it and then put it down gently. It was impossible to break it!"

The female saleswoman didn't give in at all: "Why were you so gentle in your movements? I clearly heard that when you put it down, it was very heavy and the sound was very loud."

"How is that possible!" Kong Linjuan was so angry that she was shaking all over: "Why are you talking nonsense about something that is obviously not true?"

The saleswoman crossed her arms across her chest and sneered disdainfully: "I have eyes to see! Am I talking nonsense? Do you think I am blind?"

The onlookers whispered.

"This woman broke something on the counter and refused to admit it. She is full of nonsense. She is like this at such a young age. When she really has a life, no one cares about her."

"This pot is quite expensive, 2,880, which is almost as much as my monthly salary."

"I think what the waiter said is too much! In broad daylight, who would go to the supermarket with nothing to do and cause havoc? If it was the time when the People's Republic of China was first founded, I think it would be possible. After all, enemy agents and anti-rightist agents have done a lot of harm, don't say

If you come in and smash something, I would believe you even if you bring a bag of explosives and want to knock the building down. Decades have passed, and even if you go out on the street with a knife, let alone a bomb, the police can stop you."

"You are so dim-sighted! They obviously said they smashed the pot, but they didn't say they caused damage!"

"This girl is quite pretty. I'll go find her later and add her on WeChat, hehehehe..."

Everyone is watching the fun, with different ideas.

Hu Pingtao shook his head secretly and looked at the saleswoman: "You just said that there were people present when the incident happened. There were many witnesses. Find a few to prove it."

A flash of panic flashed in the female salesperson's eyes, and she pretended to hesitate: "... Well, some of the people at that time had already left... Because it was very chaotic at that time, I just held her back."

After all, Kong Linjuan was still young. She didn’t know what to do when she encountered this kind of thing. She burst into tears and defended repeatedly: "I didn't do it. It wasn't me."

Hu Pingtao turned sideways to Kong Linjuan and comforted in a low voice: "Don't worry, we are investigating. Whose problem it is will be clear when the investigation results come out."

"Think about it carefully, who was around at that time? Now that you two are insisting on your own opinions, I can only believe in circumstantial evidence."

The saleswoman was very imposing. She turned around, raised her hand and pointed at the onlookers, and shouted in a loud voice: "Yes! If anyone sees it, please come forward and help me prove it."

"

As she said that, she started to play the emotional card: "Please tell me if you see me. It's not easy for me to do sales. I stand in the mall every day and there's not even a place to sit. I said it when the police first came,

If it wasn't this pot that was broken today, I wouldn't hold on to her. But this is two thousand eighty! If I lose, I will have to drink the northwest wind next month. Such a shameless thing

It can’t be done!”

Hearing what she said, Kong Linjuan also became extremely angry: "You keep saying that I broke it, but now you can't find anyone to testify. You are obviously slandering me... you... you... maybe it's you.

I accidentally broke this pot and then deliberately put it here for others to see. No matter who picks it up, you will definitely seek compensation."

The female salesperson's expression suddenly changed, her eyelids twitched a few times, and she cursed with a ferocious face: "You little slut, I'm warning you not to talk nonsense. Otherwise, I will make you walk around without food."

The two sides started arguing again.

Hu Pingtao felt a headache. This kind of civil disputes occurred every day, but they must be handled seriously and the cases decided impartially.

"Stop talking to me." He walked to the middle of the field and made a low and dignified voice: "This is a public place. If you do this again, follow me back to the police station."

With that said, he first turned to the aggressive saleswoman: "Are you going?"

The saleswoman suddenly stopped, frowned, curled her lips, and turned her head to the side: "As long as she pays honestly, anything will work."

Kong Linjuan stared at her angrily: "I didn't do it!"

Hu Pingtao turned around: "I'm warning you, from now on, don't talk nonsense. Also, unless I ask you, or let you talk, don't speak. Otherwise, follow me to the police station for investigation."

"You two come one by one."

"Let's talk about you first." Hu Pingtao turned to the saleswoman: "It's still the same question just now, were there any witnesses when the incident happened? If so, you must find two."

The female saleswoman looked embarrassed: "It's already this time. Besides, people who come to the supermarket just buy something and leave. I argued with her for a long time about the pot. It took more than 20 minutes for you police to arrive at the scene."

, where should I find witnesses now?”

Hu Pingtao glanced at him: "In other words, no one can testify for you?"

The saleswoman became anxious when she heard this: "Although no one testified, it doesn't mean that this matter has nothing to do with her! She would definitely run away if she killed someone and stole something, let alone smashed such an expensive pot.

.”

Hu Pingtao nodded slightly, turned to Kong Linjuan, and asked: "What about you? Do you have anyone here to help testify?"

Kong Linjuan looked a little frightened and shook her head: "I went shopping alone today, and when I got here, I happened to see a supermarket with a billboard hanging at the door saying that the new Hainan coconut sugar was on sale. I was greedy when I saw it, because

I didn’t think about buying anything else, I only bought two packs of candy, so I didn’t get a shopping basket or a cart.”

"If I had known that something like this would happen, I would have invited my friends to come here today."

Hu Pingtao concluded: "In other words, you don't have any witnesses here?"

Kong Linjuan bit her lip and nodded with fear.

Hu Pingtao turned to the saleswoman again: "You are responsible for specializing in this kind of pot, right?"
