"Tizi" recounted the entire shark incident in the video, claiming she was deceived by the merchant and that all evidence had been investigated by the police. She also released a "Notice of Decision Not to File a Case" issued by the Nanchong police regarding netizens' reports that she cooked a shark, suspected of endangering precious and endangered wildlife.

Article 112
The People's Court, People's Procuratorate, or public security authority shall promptly review materials concerning reports, accusations, complaints, and voluntary surrenders within their jurisdiction. If they find that a crime has occurred and criminal liability needs to be pursued, they shall file the case; if they find that no crime has occurred, or the crime is so minor that criminal liability does not need to be pursued, they shall not file the case and shall notify the complainant of the reasons for not filing. If the complainant disagrees, they may apply for reconsideration.
 
 
[1] The author's perspective
Although the internet celebrity "Tizi" ultimately faced no criminal liability for consuming a great white shark, such behavior harming wildlife has crossed the moral bottom line of netizens. In her apology letter, "Tizi" repeatedly emphasized that she intended to purchase edible shark meat, but the seller provided a wild one, and she lacked a professional team to verify it. As a result, she paid the price for her mistake with an eight-month suspension of her account and livestreaming ban. Now, "Tizi" is attempting to return to the internet using a secondary account. Although she once had over seven million followers, few support her this time. While people often say, "It is never too late to mend," and the law has indeed shown leniency, netizens may not necessarily accept this. This shows how important it is to have a diligent professional team when working in unfamiliar fields.
