Drunk guy is the least credible witness ever, which is no surprise to anyone present clearly.

True, but otoh, drunk and angry and potentially violent means something could have happened? And then he might get defiant about it when speaking here. (But I really don't think the ordinary citizens of Dixing would be calmly sitting around drinking with a murderer, lol. And you're right, where's the body?)

I think Shen Wei would have dedicated ties for his hair, and not misuse his sleeve gartners.

Hee! That sounds right. :D

"But I really don't think the ordinary citizens of Dixing would be calmly sitting around drinking with a murderer, lol."

Yeah, everyone else's vibe is definitely one of the reasons why none of this looks serious.

Ha, now I'm imagining them all sitting around going, "Who was that guy Chang Xiaobo killed? I've never seen him before." "Eh, not from around here." "We should get the bartender to hide the body before the guards show up. Otherwise there'll be a big fuss like last time." "Yeah, you know what the guards are like. Any excuse to throw someone into the palace dungeons..."
