"Alright." As long as the commotion isn't too big, arresting the person first is indeed the safest course of action.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the door.
Liu Zhongren strode into the store, followed by forty or fifty people, including Zhong Te, whose face was ashen, and Zhao Zhengyong, whose expression was complicated.
Zhao Daming was taken aback and stepped forward: "Old Liu, what's going on?"
Liu Zhongren smiled wryly:

Upon hearing that there might be Japanese accomplices hiding in the village, Jin Hanshan, the village chief of Jin Village, was so angry that he almost fainted.
At his insistence, Jin Gangshan was taken to the ancestral hall for interrogation.
Unexpectedly, Jin Gangshan knelt down with a thud as soon as he entered the ancestral hall, tears streaming down his face, and cried out in a hoarse voice:
"I'm innocent! I don't know anything about it! I've never even heard of that tunnel!"
