B: Say that they “must be just keeping an eye on him”, then ask with concern on your face the person informing you if they are friends with this man. 

C: Say that they “must be just keeping an eye on him”, then “O how interesting, I know that place, wasn’t there a murder there a few years ago; are you sure you’re not confusing it with that”  

(Which is a blatant attempt to veer away from the reality of the conversation/ situation)
