"Oh dear, look at me, wasting time here. It's so late, everyone is asleep already. Now I'll have to make this trip for nothing. Let's go first," one of the women tapped her forehead, saying as she pushed her bicycle forward.
Once beside the police, she quickly explained with a smile, "Officer, this has nothing to do with us. We were just passing by."
The captain glanced at them and sternly asked, "Where are you all from, wandering around here so late at night?"
"We're from the district compound. We agreed to go to the front village to buy mountain goods. Nobody was home during the day, so we had to go in the evening. We ate just now and set off together, planning to make a quick trip. Who would have expected to run into such trouble on the way," one woman explained.
"Yes, and we know the girl. She's from our compound too," Wang Guihua agreed nervously.
