Wanted by the Police

When Li came to Australia he was very excited. He was happy to live in Melbourne and looked for a bright future. He started to make friends after staying here for a few weeks. He rented a unit in Box Hill and applied for some jobs to support himself.
One day Li heard someone knocking at the door. He opened the door and saw some policemen. They wanted to arrest him. Li was surprised. He didn't break any law in Australia. He asked one policeman why he was visited by the police. The policeman told Li the police wanted to arrest a man who lived at the house. That person used a fake credit card to buy things online a few months earlier.
Li explained to the police he had been in the country for four weeks only and didn't have a credit card at all.
The policemen checked Li's passport and made sure he was not the man they wanted to arrest. They apologized for disturbing him and asked him to contact them if the person they wanted to arrest ever came back to the unit for any reason at any time. Li promised them to do so.
