Wu Xiumin explained to Zhao Yu over the phone, "After the murder, the Maritime Bureau couldn't find another suitable lighthouse keeper, so they paid Liu Caiyun, the wife of the original lighthouse keeper, to stay and guard the lighthouse."

Wu Xiumin then added, "However, people held different opinions about the incident. The majority of people were inclined to believe in the innocence of the sailor, Cai Xiangbin. After all, if Cai Xiangbin was really a brutal murderer, why wouldn't he kill Liu Caiyun? And… Even if he didn't want to kill Liu Caiyun, why did he not try to escape? It was said that Cai Xiangbin was sleeping when he was caught. As such, he was totally confused and shocked while he was being arrested. If he had really killed people, he shouldn't have responded like that!"
