A man panicked and asked for help from the police, claiming that he was "being followed closely by a large herd of sheep." After receiving the report, officers from the Mido Branch of the Okayama Police Station launched a search and eventually found 19 sheep hiding from the sun under the base of a Tuigong Temple. This "sheep chasing people" farce was successfully resolved.

The police pointed out that at around 12 noon on September 29, people panicked and ran into the Mituo branch to report the crime, claiming that they were being "tightened" by a large number of sheep on the road. The police considered that sheep running wild on the road could easily cause a car accident, so they immediately returned to the scene with the man, but when they arrived, the sheep were gone.

After interviewing nearby residents, they learned that the sheep might be running to the farmland on the opposite side, but because there was a cliff in between, the police officers took a detour and cut into the remote road behind Zhuangding Lane to search. More than 40 minutes later, after enthusiastic residents identified the sheep and helped contact sheep-raising neighbors, they found 19 sheep that had sneaked out of the sheep in the shade under the base of a nearby Tuigong Temple. They were gathering together to enjoy the cool air.

After the owner arrived at the scene, he brought water to rehydrate the sheep. The group suddenly realized that the sheep were extremely thirsty in the hot sun after escaping. Seeing the people who reported the crime with buckets in their hands, they mistakenly thought there was water to drink, so they followed them all the way.

After the sheep had replenished their water, the 19 sheep lined up docilely and followed behind the main truck. The police officers also drove patrol cars to guard the rear. They were afraid that another sheep would be left alone in the process. They escorted them all the way back to the sheep house safely and resolved a storm.

The runaway sheep took shelter in the Tuigong Temple to avoid the sun. (provided by the public)
