Translation
In the text, there were about eight people. They were chatting about this and that. Among them, some
were talking about a man who had been attacked by a robber and was lying unconscious with his wife
in a hotel. It was heard that the robber had entered stealthily, robbed them of their belongings, and shot
the man. It was also heard that the woman had run quickly, without even wearing shoes, to seek help.
When help arrived, they found the man lying on the ground, alone. He had a gunshot wound on his
chest. The robber had disappeared into the night.
The scene was chaotic, with police cars rushing up and down, indicating that something serious had
happened. People were pointing and talking about how the events matched the description of the
suspect. "They will catch him," some said, while others were still in shock. "The government is weak;
the hand of the government is too short."
