Well, seeing as it does not appear that Zhao Yun will be reappearing any time soon, I shall state my thoughts on the matter. From the beginning of this little episode I have maintained that he is not a cop, not once did I buy into this story of his. I was willing to let him have the benefit of the doubt as to whether he was serious or not with his claims until he'd had a chance to explain himself, and his subsequent explaination only served to confirm my belief that he was not a cop. The issue I have now is trying to decide what his role actually is. I think that he is either scum, or has a role like the Jester where he wins if he gets lynched. I am inclined to lean towards him being a plain old mafia, but I am not yet ready to rule out the idea of him being otherwise.

There is still time for him to perform some kind of miracle, I suppose, but as of now I am struggling to see how he can extract himself from this hole. But as I said, I am still not sure of his true nature, so this is about as far as I am willing to go for now.
