The assistant lowered his head fearfully and kept silent.
The Shopkeeper quickly stepped forward, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Officer Brother, actually this fingernail is mine. The assistant was just being kind, not wanting me as the Shopkeeper to be embarrassed, hehe...! Hope Officer Brother can understand."
The arrest officer looked very skeptical, glancing at him, "Is that so?"
The Shopkeeper grinned sheepishly, "Yes!"
"Show your hand!"
"Huh?"
"What 'Huh'? I'm telling you to show your hand."
"Oh!"
The Shopkeeper obediently extended a hand towards the arrest officer, and with a full smile said, "Officer Brother, look, I really did break a fingernail."
The arrest officer glanced at him and sneered coldly, "Shopkeeper, I suspect you have something to hide!"
The Shopkeeper's smile froze briefly, then he laughed, "Officer Brother, why would you say that?"
