"The police station is out to make arrests!"
"Did they finally nab Ma Zi, that bastard should've been arrested a long time ago..."

Dogs in the countryside are always quick to respond to a call; when one starts barking, the whole village joins in. In the blink of an eye, many people were awakened, and then some started to emerge, carrying shovels and the like to check out the situation.

When they heard the gossip, everyone calmed down.
