Where is the perpetrator?
Could it be that upon hearing the commotion, they knew you were coming and fled?
The two officers exchanged glances: "Which way did the perpetrator go? Where's the back door of this shop?"
They were just about to give chase.
The shopkeeper hurriedly called out to the officers, "Officers! Officers! Don't leave! The perpetrator is right here! It's her—"
Lady Fang, who was nearby, poked her head out from the corner when she heard the officers, "Officers! It's her! Quick, take her to the Yamen!"
The two officers' faces turned dark immediately. In broad daylight, you expect us to believe this nonsense? The only person here is a delicate and neat little lady. By the looks of it, she's probably scaring herself silly and hasn't even run away. And you say she's the perpetrator? Might as well say she robbed herself!
