“Well… they come in the morning,” she said with an awkward laugh. “You must have just missed them.”

“All right, then at least let us take a few tomatoes,” the officer insisted.

“No, my son,” she refused again. “Leave them, I need to save some for others.”

Her voice trembled, and she avoided eye contact. One of the officers frowned, bent down, and picked up a tomato from the crate. He examined it closely, then said abruptly:

“Arrest her. Now.”

“What? What’s happening?” his colleague asked, stunned.

It turned out that the elderly woman…

The officer showed the tomato. On its surface were tiny puncture marks, as if something had been injected into it with a needle. The same marks were visible on the other vegetables.

Later, during the investigation, it was discovered that behind the appearance of a harmless, defenseless old lady, the woman was actually distributing illegal substances.

At her home, they found her son—a disabled man who was manufacturing the substances, while the mother distributed and sold them, relying on the fact that no one would suspect a grandmother with trembling hands and a kind smile.

The world has long learned how to hide evil behind the most innocent appearances.
