Mr. Yao, unwilling to give up, asked, "What is the identity of that tenant? How credible is his testimony?"
It can't be ruled out that the tenant himself is the perpetrator, or an accomplice, deliberately saying such things to confuse their judgment.
Mr. Qu understood Mr. Yao's words and said, "That tenant... should be unrelated to the case. He's a merchant who travels frequently for business. This time he happened to pass through Western Capital and only stayed for one night. He primarily does business in the south and only passes through Western Capital occasionally when he returns home."
This makes the tenant sound indeed not suspicious.
Mr. Yao asked Mr. Qu for the tenant's name, then called for a Government Official to investigate the tenant's background and turned to Xu Jing: "Miss Xu, should we continue with the investigation of this case?"
