Some people suggested the bus be driven to the police station, but some were against it because they were in a hurry to go back home. The whole bus was very 21 .

At that time, one passenger said, “Turn off the lights and give the thief a chance to take out the money.” Then the 3bus got 23 .

The passengers were in heated discussion again. At that time, someone said again, “Give him the 26 chance!” Suddenly I felt 27 and took out all the money when the lights were off again.
