Do you mean the "in passing" as "while passing" i.e. at the time of passing?

Here is what how I understood :

Mr. A telling to Mr. C that "Mrs. B told me while passing that she (Mrs. B) had seen your car there"

No, when you say something 'in passing' it means you mention it very casually. It is not the main topic of the conversation but just something that is briefly mentioned.

It's nothing to do with any movement.
