Since the location was remote, the police arrived only an hour after they were called.
The person who had sneaked into the room had already woken up, and when the police took him away, they casually picked the wooden stick used to hit the crook over the head. Of course, they also took Qiao Anhao with them for her testimony, accompanied by Chen Yang and Zhao Meng.
As everyone had assumed, the person was indeed from a nearby village. Because of his gambling debts, he owed quite a bit of money. With the New Year's drawing closer, he was being chased by loan sharks. Unable to go back home, he often wandered the scenic area. He inadvertently stumbled onto the crew whilst they were filming, and a thieving urge came over him.
As to the identity of the figure who had knocked out the thief, Qiao Anhao wasn't sure. All she could do was describe what she saw.
