It is reported that before the incident, people were set on fire in front of the supermarket.

According to the shop owner, the other party called from a private phone and said the former shop owner also paid the so-called "protection fee". The owner said angrily: "They are some shameless people. Every penny of my income is earned through hard work. Where can I go to collect $ 10,000 to pay?"
A neighbor near the supermarket said that at around 3 am, he heard a scream and found that the supermarket was set on fire by monitoring his home. The supermarket owner speculated that this may be due to a refusal to pay extortion money, a warning given by the other party.
Currently, the local police have intervened. (Huang Dong)
