Please check my question

Hi teachers,
The context:
‘Oh yes,’ the shopkeeper said. ‘I remember now. It was a good book. But Dinon did not come into my shop this morning.’
Would this question and answer be appropriate?
Did the shopkeeper deny that Dinon was in his shop? Explain your answer.
Yes, he did. He said that Dinon had not come into his shop.

Thanks in advance.
