Ding Yuan asked, "Can anyone prove that you were not at the inn at midnight last night?"
Although the victim had in all likelihood been killed by the same culprit as the previous two victims, Li Lianhua was a physician and had just recently clashed with Sun Yan, so the possibility that he was the murderer could not be ruled out.
With a distressed expression, Li Lianhua said, "My wife and I were both sleeping at midnight last night, so where on earth am I supposed to find a witness? However, the innkeeper should be able to verify that my wife and I left the inn yesterday and never came back. Surely that proves I didn't commit murder?"
