English term or phrase: working theory
His hourlong news conference, however, delivered in somber tones,
sent the strongest signal yet that the government’s working theory is
that the students, after an attack by corrupt police officers on Sept. 26
that left six people dead, were turned over to criminals who killed them.
The conference included several video clips of the suspects’
interrogation and photographs of ashes, teeth and pieces of bone.
