"Gu Laotie, don't get excited just yet, let's clarify things first. Tell me, what exactly happened?" the village chief hurriedly said.
Gu Laotie, tears and snot mingling, said, "This morning, I saw that human trafficker Liu Dazhuang loitering near our house, which I found quite strange. Everyone knows that Liu Dazhuang is not only involved in human trafficking, but also steals, and fearing he would bring trouble to our village, I kept a close eye on him.
Sure enough, not long after, I saw Liu Dazhuang hurrying away with a horse cart from our village, looking guilty as if he'd stolen someone's child! This couldn't be tolerated. Even if it wasn't one of ours, it had to be someone from our village, right?"
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement, finding Gu Laotie's account plausible.
