"Wow, what happened?" Two police officers arrived at the reported location and saw a dead sheep and five people collapsed on the ground.
"Police comrades, our sheep was stolen," the man in charge said. "We chased after them, but he beat us up and called us the thieves instead. The other person called the police!"
A police officer shone his flashlight onto the men. He recognized one of them. "Zhao Dehan, right? Would you even believe what you've just said? Where do you live? It's at least 10 miles away from here. In the middle of the night, five burly men came here to catch the sheep stealer. I think you stole the sheep and waited here for people to pass by and make them the scapegoat. Come on, get up!"
"Police comrades, we can't get up!" Zhao Dehan exclaimed
"What's the matter?" a police officer asked.
"If we could get up and run, why would we have waited here for you to catch us?" a man muttered in a low voice.
