Yeah, the passenger part, and the subsequent dismissal of the cabby when he came up to the apt. I was just shaking my head at that point.
It was the yellow paint coupled with the Asian love story where they were surrounded by ~Ancient China~ and subsequent death where he immediately knew what the paint meant. I was hoping that they were just trying to bring in a minority character, but I was surprised at my lack of faith of that.
By thin air, I mean it always felt like a writing cop-out. Like Doyle didn't know how to solve his mysteries logically from the way he presented them, so he made up clues that Sherlock notices afterward. That's why I like the really good Agatha Christie Poirot novels, since you might be able to figure it out, but it's a logical mystery. (I'm not even that observant in RL, but I learned movie/tv/book tropes very very early).
