罪恶有痕 1	Traces of Sin
南方的盛夏，闷热得连一丝凉风都没有。	In the midsummer of the southern cities, it was so hot and damp that there wasn’t even the hint of a breeze.
nánfāng de shèngxià， mēnrè dé lián yī sī liáng fēng dōu méiyŏu。
屋里的电风扇一边转，一边发出嘎吱嘎吱的声音。当人的思维在高速运转时, 大概也会发出这样的声音。	The fan in the room kept spinning tirelessly in a cracking tone. It’s probably true that when our brain works in full power, it would make a cracking sound just like that.
wū lĭ de diànfēngshàn yībiān zhuàn， yībiān fāchū gāzhī gāzhī de shēngyīn。 dāng rén de sīwéi zài gāosù yùnzhuăn shí, dàgài yě huì fāchū zhèyàng de shēngyīn。
窗边坐着的女人有一头染成棕黄色的卷发。她盯着窗沿的某个地方, 努力回想着当天早晨发生的事情。	The woman sitting beside the window had curly hair that dyed in Brown. She stared into a certain spot on the window sill, trying her best to recall all that had happened in the early morning.
chuāng biān zuò zhe de nǚren yŏu yītóu rănchéng zōnghuángsè de juănfà。 tā dīng zhe chuāng yán de mŏu gè dìfang, nŭlì huíxiăng zhe dàngtiān zăochén fāshēng de shìqing。
旁边一个男人提示她,”你不用害怕, 我们会对你的个人情况绝对保密. 在这起持枪抢劫案里, 你很可能是唯一看清嫌犯模样的人。	A man on her side reassured her, “Don’t worry, we will keep your identity absolutely confidential. As for this armed robbery, you probably are the only person who witnessed the robbers’ look.
pángbiān yī gè nánrén tíshì tā,” nĭ bùyòng hàipà, wŏmen huì duì nĭ de gèrén qíngkuàng juéduì băomì. zài zhè qĭ chíqiāng qiăngjié’àn lĭ, nĭ hěn kěnéng shì wéiyī kànqīng xiánfàn múyàng de rén。
我们虽然已经做了一遍笔录, 你不妨再叙述一遍经过, 这样做对你的回想会有帮助。”	Although we’ve just finished our interview, you might as well run through the whole event again to help you recall all the details.”
wŏmen suīrán yĭjīng zuò le yībiàn bĭlù, nĭ bùfáng zài xùshù yībiàn jīngguò, zhèyàng zuò duì nĭ de huíxiăng huì yŏubāngzhù。”
女人点了点头. 这是一个聪明镇静的女人。一份推销保险的职业, 虽然不太讨人喜欢, 但却培养了她对人过目不忘的能力。	The woman nodded. She’s smart and calm. A job of an insurance agent, not that much of a likable occupation, had trained her to remember people’s appearance extremely well.
nǚren diăn le diăntóu. zhè shì yī gè cōngming zhènjìng de nǚren。 yī fèn tuīxiāo băoxiăn de zhíyè, suīrán bù tài tăorénxĭhuan, dàn què péiyăng le tā duì rén guòmùbùwàng de nénglì。
“因为客户住得远, 我今天很早就出门了. 天刚朦朦亮, 我就开上131国道。”	“Due to the far location of my client, I had to get out very early this morning. Before dawn, I’ve already driven onto highway 131.”
“ yīnwèi kèhù zhù de yuăn, wŏ jīntiān hěn zăojiù chūmén le. tiān gāng méng méng liàng, wŏ jiù kāi shàng131 guódào。”
“当时路上车多不多?” 提问的男人一边问, 一边在纸上记着。	“Were there many cars on the road at that time?” the man asked her while taking down notes.
“ dāngshí lùshang chē duō bù duō?” tíwèn de nánrén yībiān wèn, yībiān zài zhĭ shàng jì zhe。
“车很少, 星期天那条路都很好开。”	“Not really. It’s always an easy drive on that road in Sundays.”
“ chē hěn shăo, Xīngqītiān nà tiáo lù dōu hěn hăo kāi。”
“请继续说.”	“Go ahead please.”
“ qĭng jìxù shuō.”

“我的车前面是一辆红色桑塔纳, 我跟车开了一段后它突然减速。我忙踩刹车。	“The car ahead of my car was a red Santana. I drove following it. But all of a sudden it slowed down. Then I had to step on my brake.
“ wŏ de chē qiánmiàn shì yī liàng hóngsè Sāngtănà, wŏ gēn chē kāi le yī duàn hòu tā tūrán jiănsù。 wŏ máng căi chà chē。
同时听见前面有撞车的声音。是桑塔纳追尾了, 它前面那辆被撞的商务车也停了下来。	At that moment, I also heard a big bang due to car crash. It was the Santana that drove into the backend of a van. The van also stopped.
tóngshí tīngjiàn qiánmiàn yŏu zhuàngchē de shēngyīn。 shì Sāngtănà zhuīwěi le, tā qiánmiàn nà liàng bèi zhuàng de shāngwù chē yě tíng le xiàlai。
奇怪的是, 在桑塔纳的右道, 一辆白色轿车也同时停了下来. 本来就只有两条道, 这样交通就堵死了。	It was very strange that a white car travelling on the right lane of the Santana stopped too. After that, the traffic was totally jammed since there were only two lanes on that road.
qíguài de shì, zài Sāngtănà de yòu dào, yī liàng báisè jiàochē yě tóngshí tíng le xiàlai. běnlái jiù zhĭyŏu liăng tiáo dào, zhèyàng jiāotōng jiù dŭsĭ le。

我停住车, 刚想下车看看, 抬头看见商务车上下来一个男的, 同时从白车里也下来一个男的。	I stopped my car, was about to step out and have a check when I saw a man got off the van. The man in the white car got out of his car too.
wŏ tíngzhù chē, gāng xiăng xiàchē kànkan, táitóu kànjiàn shāngwù chē shàng xiàlai yī gè nán de, tóngshí cóng báichē lĭ yě xiàlai yī gè nán de。
商务车的人指挥白车的人绕到桑塔纳驾驶员这边, 然后两人分别从衣服里掏出手枪, 拉开桑塔纳车的车门, 先后往车里开了几枪。	The van man signaled the white car man to turn around and come to the driver’s side of the Santana. Each of them took out a pistol. They opened the door of the Santana, and fired a few shots to the inside of the car.
shāngwù chē de rén zhĭhuī báichē de rén rào dào Sāngtănà jiàshĭyuán zhèbiān, ránhòu liăng rén fēnbié cóng yīfu lĭ tāochū shŏuqiāng, lākāi Sāngtănà chē de chēmén, xiānhòu wăng chē lĭ kāi le jĭ qiāng。
我被吓到, 没敢下车, 低下头, 按电动钮把车窗拉起, 把车门反锁.	I was terrified, scared of getting out of my car by that time. I lowered my head and pressed the electric buttons to slide up my windows and locked my doors.
wŏ bèi xià dào, méi găn xiàchē, dīxià tóu, àn diàndòng niŭ bă chēchuāng lā qĭ, bă chēmén fănsuŏ.
枪声停后, 我害怕他们过来找麻烦, 又壮着胆把头抬起来察看。	When the gunshots stopped, I was afraid that they might approach me next. So I bravely raised my head and peeked outside.
qiāngshēng tíng hòu, wŏ hàipà tāmen guòlái zhăomáfan, yòu zhuàng zhe dăn bătóu tái qilai chákàn。
这时, 那两个开枪的人已从桑塔纳车上拖出一个黑色的旅行包, 看起来很沉的样子。然后他们把包扔进白车, 一起开车跑掉了。”	By then, the two robbers had dragged out a big travel bag that seemingly very heavy. They threw it into the white car and drove away swiftly.”
zhèshí, nà liăng gè kāiqiāng de rén yĭ cóng Sāngtănà chē shàng tuō chū yī gè hēisè de lǚxíng bāo, kànqĭlái hěn chén de yàngzi。 ránhòu tāmen bă bāo rēng jìn báichē, yīqĭ kāichē păodiào le。”

做笔录的男人是刑警队长刘明天. 对于本市一个月来发生的第二起枪案, 他已感受到了来自多方的压力。	The man taking the notes down was chief inspector Liu Mingtian. With the second local gun-related case in hand in one month, he could feel the pressure from everywhere.
zuò bĭlù de nánrén shì xíngjĭng duìzhăng Liú míngtiān. duìyú běnshì yī gè yuè lái fāshēng de dì’èr qĭ qiāng àn, tā yĭ gănshòu dàoliăo láizì duōfāng de yālì。
桑塔纳车上的司机和乘客, 当时正带了大笔追来的欠款往回赶，准备回公司清点后交给财务。	The driver and passenger in the doomed Santana were driving back with a big load of cash paid by their debtors, and were going to bring it back to their company.
Sāngtănà chē shàng de sījī hé chéngkè, dāngshí zhèng dài le dà bĭ zhuī lái de qiànkuăn wăng huí găn， zhŭnbèi huí gōngsī qīngdiăn hòu jiāogěi cáiwù。
不料路遇劫匪，双双毙命。	Unfortunately they encountered robbers and were both killed instantly.

“开枪的那两个人, 你看得清楚吗?” 刘明天问。	“The two gun men, did you have a good look at them? “ Asked Liu Mingtian.
“ kāiqiāng de nà liăng gèrén, nĭ kàn dé qīngchu ma?” Liú míngtiān wèn。
“指挥的那个很清楚, 白车里的那个不太清楚。他带着帽子, 而且行动很快。”	“Yes for the one in charge, not much so for the one in the white car. He wore a hat and was moving around in a quick fashion.”
“ zhĭhuī de nàge hěn qīngchu, báichē lĭ de nàge bù tài qīngchu。 tā dài zhe màozi, érqiě xíngdòng hěn kuài。”
“没关系, 慢慢来, 请尽量回忆. “ 说到这, 刘明天站了起来, 指了指坐在一幅画架旁的微胖的中年男子,	“No worries, take your time and try your best.” By saying that, Liu Mingtian stood up. He gestured to a plump middle aged man who was sitting beside a sketching easel.
“ méi guānxi, mànmàn lái, qĭng jìnliàng huíyì. “ shuō dào zhè, Liú míngtiān zhàn le qilai, zhĭ le zhĭ zuò zài yī fú huàjià páng de wēi pàng de zhōngnián nánzĭ,
“这位是我们这儿出名的画师, 老曾. 你把开枪人的模样详细描述给他听, 他就能照你说的画出来.”	“This is our famous drawing artist, Zeng. You can describe the gun men’s looks to him, and he will draw them out for you.”
“ zhèwèi shì wŏmen zhèr chūmíng de huà shī, lăo céng. nĭ bă kāiqiāng rén de múyàng xiángxì miáoshù gěi tā tīng, tā jiù néng zhào nĭ shuō de huà chūlái.”
女人看向”画师”老曾. 她一脸疑惑. 从没听说公安局里也有画师. 不过她想, 自己记忆里的形象要是能用笔墨生动地勾画出来, 那真是一件绝妙的事情!	The woman looked at Mr. Zeng. Her look was full of doubts. She had never heard of an artist working in a police station. She thought however, if the images in her memory could be vividly drawn out with pen and ink, it would be awesome!
nǚrén kàn xiàng” huà shī” lăo céng. tā yī liăn yíhuò. cóngméi tīngshuō gōng’ānjú lĭ yě yŏu huà shī. bùguò tā xiăng, zìjĭ jìyì lĭ de xíngxiàng yàoshi néng yòng bĭmò shēngdòng de gōuhuà chūlái, nà zhēnshi yī jiàn juémiào de shìqing!
老曾面善, 不象刘明天看起来严肃. 女人稍稍松了口气, 端起桌上的可乐拉罐, 痛快地喝了一大口.	Mr. Zeng looked friendly, not as formidable as Liu Mingtian. The woman relaxed a little and picked up the Coke can on the table and drank a big amount of coke in one gulp.
lăo céng miàn shàn, bù xiàng Liú míngtiān kànqĭlái yánsù. nǚrén shāoshāo sōng le kŏuqì, duān qĭ zhuō shàng de kělè lā guàn, tòngkuài de hē le yī dàkŏu.
“那我们先从指挥抢劫的那个开始吧 … ” 老曾扶了扶眼镜, 拿起一只素描笔, 开始用一问一答的方式, 引导女人一点一滴地回忆抢劫犯的身高, 长相, 肢体语言和穿着.	“What about we start with the one in charge …” Mr. Zeng nudged his glasses up, picked up a sketching pen, and started to exchange questions and answers. That’s his way to help her recall the robbers’ size, look, body language and clothing, bit by bit.
“ nà wŏmen xiān cóng zhĭhuī qiăngjié de nàge kāishĭ ba … ” lăo céng fú le fú yănjìng, náqĭ yī zhĭ sùmiáo bĭ, kāishĭ yòng yī wèn yī dá de fāngshì, yĭndăo nǚrén yīdiănyīdī de huíyì qiăngjié fàn de shēngāo, zhăngxiàng, zhītĭ yŭyán hé chuānzhuó.
女人记不清和老曾聊了多长时间, 两个小时? 三个小时? 她只觉得画师平易近人, 兴趣广泛, 既谈案情, 也谈一些和案情无关的话题. 不知不觉中, 画师已经把两个嫌犯的画像都画完了.	The woman couldn’t remember how long she had been chatting with Mr. Zeng. Two hours? Or three hours? All she remembered was that the artist was amiable with broad interests. He chat not only about the case, but also about other unrelated topics. Without her noticing, the artist had finished his portraits.
nǚrén jì bùqīng hé lăo céng liáo le duō cháng shíjiān, liăng gè xiăoshí? sān gè xiăoshí? tā zhĭ juéde huà shī píngyìjìnrén, xìngqù guăngfàn, jì tán ànqíng, yě tán yīxiē hé ànqíng wúguān de huàtí. bùzhībùjué zhōng, huà shī yĭjīng bă liăng gè xiánfàn de huàxiàng dōu huà wán le.
“我现在给你同时看四幅画像, 你看你能不能一眼认出指挥抢劫的那个家伙.” 老曾推了推鼻梁上的眼镜, 眼带笑意地对女人说.	“Now I’ll show you four portraits all together. You see if you can recognize the robber in charge right away.” Mr. Zeng pushed up his glasses and said with a smile.
“ wŏ xiànzài gěi nĭ tóngshí kàn sì fú huàxiàng, nĭ kàn nĭ néng bùnéng yīyăn rènchū zhĭhuī qiăngjié de nàge jiā huŏ.” lăo céng tuī le tuī bíliáng shàng de yănjìng, yăn dài xiàoyì de duì nǚrén shuō.
女人心里七上八下的, 已经放松了的心情又紧张了起来. 凭我那些支离破碎的描述, 老曾会画出一幅什么样的图画呢?	The woman was unsettled. Her already relaxed mood became nervous again. Based on those scattered memories of mine, what kind of portrait Mr. Zeng could make?
nǚrén xīn lĭ qīshàngbāxià de, yĭjīng fàngsōng le de xīnqíng yòu jĭnzhāng le qilai. píng wŏ nàxiē zhīlípòsuì de miáoshù, lăo céng huì huà chū yī fú shénme yàng de túhuà ne?
四幅黑白画像被同时翻了过来. 女人刚用眼浏览了一遍, 就惊恐地捂住嘴. 画像中有这么一张脸, 只看了一眼就让女人倒吸了一口凉气. 空气里也突然凭添了一种杀气.	Four portraits in black and white were turned over at the same time. Upon one glimpse, the woman covered her mouth in horror. With only one quick peek, that one face among the portraits made her hold her breath. A murderous spirit filled up the air.
sì fú hēibái huàxiàng bèi tóngshí fān le guòlái. nǚrén gāng yòng yăn liúlăn le yībiàn, jiù jīngkŏng de wŭzhù zuĭ. huàxiàng zhōng yŏu zhème yī zhāng liăn, zhĭ kàn le yīyăn jiù ràng nǚrén dăo xī le yīkŏu liáng qì. kōngqì lĭ yě tūrán píng tiān le yīzhŏng shāqì.
“砰! 砰!” – 枪声在女人的耳际回旋.	“Bang! Bang!” – The gunshots rang in her ears.
“ pēng! pēng!” – qiāngshēng zài nǚrén de ěr jì huíxuán.
“就是他!” 女人颤抖地伸出手, 指了指其中的一幅画像.	“It’s him!” She raised her hand in a shiver of fear and pointed it to one portrait among the four.
“ jiùshì tā!” nǚrén chàndŏu de shēnchū shŏu, zhĭ le zhĭ qízhōng de yī fú huàxiàng.

“一号嫌疑人比较靠谱, 二号嫌疑人没有一号画得成功. 因为目击者的印象不够清晰, 所以只能尽力而为了.”	“Portrait of suspect one is quite good. The one for suspect two is not as good since the impression left with the witness was not clear enough. That’s the best we could do.”
“ yīhào xiányírén bĭjiào kàopŭ, èrhào xiányírén méiyŏu yīhào huà dé chénggōng. yīnwèi mùjīzhě de yìnxiàng bùgòu qīngxī, suŏyĭ zhĭnéng jìnlì ér wèile.”
刘明天和另几个刑警来看画像时, 老曾特意做了说明.	Mr. Zeng explained specifically when Liu Mingtian and other detectives came to see the portraits.
Liú míngtiān hé lìng jĭge xíngjĭng láikàn huàxiàng shí, lăo céng tèyì zuò le shuōmíng.
“我看二号画得也不错嘛, 好象看起来还有点眼熟呢.” 同事们七嘴八舌地调侃起来.	“In my humble opinion, the portrait for suspect two is not bad, it looks actually a bit familiar.” His colleagues started chit-chat about the drawings.
“ wŏ kàn èrhào huà de yě bùcuò ma, hăoxiàng kànqĭlái háiyŏu diăn yănshú ne.” tóngshì men qīzuĭbāshé de tiáokăn qilai.
刘明天问老曾, “这两幅画像能不能公布?” 老曾又认真看了看自己的作品, 说, “我看可以, 公布吧,	Liu Mingtian asked Mr. Zeng, ”Do you feel OK to release these two portraits?” Mr. Zeng had a careful look at his own drawings once again and said, ”Yes, let’s release them.
Liú míngtiān wèn lăo céng, “ zhè liăng fú huàxiàng néng bùnéng gōngbù?” lăo céng yòu rènzhēn kàn le kàn zìjĭ de zuòpĭn, shuō, “ wŏ kàn kěyĭ, gōngbù ba,
一号这张把目击证人自己都给吓到了, 她说太像了. 但愿她的记忆是准确的.”	The one for suspect one even scared the witness herself. She said that it resembled the man a lot, I hope her memory is good.”
yīhào zhè zhāng bă mùjī zhèngrén zìjĭ dōu gěi xià dàoliăo, tā shuō tài xiàng le. dànyuàn tā de jìyì shì zhŭnquè de.”
当晚的电视新闻中, 老曾的嫌疑人画像, 在千家万户的屏幕上被反复播放.	That night, via the evening TV news, Mr. Zeng’s suspects’ portraits appeared on the screens of million of families.
dàngwăn de diànshì xīnwén zhōng, lăo céng de xiányírén huàxiàng, zài qiānjiāwànhù de píngmù shàng bèi fănfù bōfàng.
“妈妈, 那个画上的人好象哥哥啊!”	“Mom, the man in the picture looks just like my brother!”
“ māma, nàge huà shàng de rén hăoxiàng gēge ā!”
正在厨房里洗碗的中年女子, 用袖子抹了抹脸上的汗, 歪着头瞟了一眼客厅里的电视, 又转头对女儿无奈地笑笑,	The middle aged woman who was washing dishes in the kitchen wiped her sweat off with her sleeve, and then turned her head around to have a peek on the TV screen in the living room. She then turned back to her daughter, smiling,
zhèngzài chúfáng lĭ xĭwăn de zhōngnián nǚzĭ, yòng xiùzi mò le mò liăn shàng de hàn, wāi zhe tóu piăo le yīyăn kètīng lĭ de diànshì, yòu zhuăntóu duì nǚ’ér wúnài de xiào xiào,
”佳佳, 快做你的作业! 你哥咋能象那个人呢? 那是抢劫犯, 是大坏蛋! 不懂不要瞎说.”	“Jiajia, mind your own homework please. How could your brother look like that guy? He’s a robber, a scoundrel! For things you don’t understand, please think before you talk.”
” jiā jiā, kuài zuò nĭ de zuòyè! nĭ gē ză néng xiàng nàgèrén ne? nàshi qiăngjié fàn, shì dàhuàidàn! bùdŏng bùyào xiāshuō.”

她麻利地把手在围裙上擦干, 走过来关了电视. 慈爱地抚摸着女儿的小脑袋. “是不是想哥哥了?”	She wiped her hands on her apron in an agile manner and walked over to turn off the TV. Then she stroked her daughter’s head affectionately and asked, “Do you miss your brother?”
tā máli de băshŏu zài wéiqún shàng cāgān, zŏuguò lái guān le diànshì. cí’ài de fŭmō zhe nǚ’ér de xiăo năodài. “ shìbùshì xiăng gēge le?”
“嗯.” 女儿委屈地撅起小嘴.	“Yes.” Her daughter felt upset and put up a pouting face.
“ èn.” nǚ’ér wěiqu de juē qĭ xiăo zuĭ.
“那过两天妈叫哥过来吃饭?”	“What about I invite your brother to have dinner with us in a few days?”
“ nà guò liăng tiān mā jiào gē guòlái chīfàn?”
“好啊, 好啊!” 女孩仰视母亲的小脸, 立时笑成了一朵花.	“Yes, yes!” The girl’s little face looked up at her Mom, blossomed into a flower instantly.
“ hăo ā, hăo ā!” nǚhái yăng shì mŭqīn de xiăo liăn, lìshí xiào chéngle yī duŏ huā.

与此同时，受害人的桑塔纳，和被嫌疑人丢弃的商务车, 都被从现场拉回局里，由邢技人员进行物证检验，寻找嫌犯可能留下的蛛丝马迹。	Meanwhile, the victim’s Santana, the van that was left by the suspects were all towed from the scene to the police station. They were given to the investigators to test for material evidence, or tiny traces that the suspects might have left.
yŭcĭtóngshí， shòuhàirén de Sāngtănà， hé bèi xiányírén diūqì de shāngwù chē, dōu bèi cóng xiànchăng lā huí jú lĭ， yóu Xíng jì rényuán jìnxíng wùzhèng jiănyàn， xúnzhăo xiánfàn kěnéng liúxià de zhūsīmăjì。
综合目击者的证言，法医报告，和物证人员的初步结论，刘明天在案情分析会上试图还原抢劫杀人的具体经过， ”一号和二号嫌犯都开了枪。	Based on the witness’ testimony, forensic medical report, and preliminary conclusion from material evidence, Liu Mingtian explained the sequence of how the deadly robbery happened, ”Both suspect one and suspect two fired their guns.
zōnghé mùjīzhě de zhèngyán， făyī bàogào， hé wùzhèng rényuán de chūbù jiélùn， Liú míngtiān zài ànqíng fēnxī huì shàng shìtú huányuán qiăngjié shārén de jùtĭ jīngguò， ” yīhào hé èrhào xiánfàn dōu kāi le qiāng。 ”
一人打了两发，各负责一个目标。如此短的时间，两个人分别从不同的两辆车上下来，分工杀人，再劫走巨款，一起开车逃逸，	Each of them fired two shots at their own targets. With that short period of time, each of them came out of a different car and shared the killing task. Then they robbed a huge sum of money and drove away together.
yī rén dă le liăng fā， gè fùzé yī gè mùbiāo。 rúcĭ duăn de shíjiān， liăng gèrén fēnbié cóng bùtóng de liăng liàng chē shàng xiàlai， fēngōng shārén， zài jié zŏu jùkuăn， yīqĭ kāichē táoyì，
临时起意的可能性很小, 应该可以断定是有计划, 有预谋的行动。”	It’s very unlikely to be a random robbery. It’s almost certain to be a planned, premeditated mission.”
línshí qĭyì de kěnéngxìng hěn xiăo, yīnggāi kěyĭ duàndìng shì yŏu jìhuà, yŏuyùmóu de xíngdòng 。
“为什么要分工杀人?” 一个清亮的声音, 从会议室的一角传来。这一嗓子吸引了所有人的目光。	“Why did they share the killing task?” A clear voice came from the other side of the meeting room. It captured the attention of the whole room.
” wèishénme yào fēngōng shārén?” yī gè qīng liàng de shēngyīn, cóng huìyìshì de yī jiăo chuánlái。 zhè yī săngzi xīyĭn le suŏyŏu rén de mùguāng。
提问的是那个新分来的大学生赵凯峰.	The questioner was a new university graduate Zhao Kaifeng.
tíwèn de shì nàge xīn fēn lái de dàxuéshēng zhào kăifēng.
“问得好!”刘明天提了提嗓门。 ”根据目击者的证言，一号嫌疑人，也就是商务车的驾驶员，是开枪的第一人，他如果有足够的子弹，完全可以在最短的时间里射杀两个受害人。	“Good question!” Liu Mingtian responded with a louder voice. “According to the witness, suspect one, the driver of the van, opened fire first. If he had enough bullets, he should have killed both victims.
” wèn dé hăo!” Liú míngtiān tí le tí săngmén。 ” gēnjù mùjīzhě de zhèngyán， yīhào xiányírén， yějiùshì shāngwù chē de jiàshĭyuán， shì kāiqiāng de dìyī rén， tā rúguŏ yŏu zúgòu de zĭdàn， wánquán kěyĭ zài zuì duăn de shíjiān lĭ shèshā liăng gè shòuhàirén。
但他没这样做，他在杀害驾驶员后，闪身让他的同伙，也就是开白车的二号嫌犯, 来射杀乘客座位上的那名被害人。”	However he didn’t do that after he killed the driver, instead, he moved aside to let his partner to shoot the victim on the passenger’s side.”
dàn tā méi zhèyàng zuò， tā zài shāhài jiàshĭyuán hòu， shănshēn ràng tā de tónghuŏ， yějiùshì kāi báichē de èrhào xiánfàn, lái shèshā chéngkè zuòwèi shàng de nà míng bèihàirén。”
“好比他们之间签了一个合同，每人手上一桩命案，这样谁也不要心存侥幸去出卖另一方。” 说话的又是赵凯峰.	“It’s like they signed a contract between them that each one of them to be responsible for one count of killing. So that none of them would ever think of selling the other one out without risking himself.” Zhao Kaifeng commented again.
” hăobĭ tāmen zhījiān qiān le yī gè hétong， měirén shŏu shàng yī zhuāng mìng’àn， zhèyàng shéi yě bùyào xīn cún jiăoxìng qù chūmài lìngyī fāng。” shuōhuà de yòu shì zhào kăifēng.
“有道理。所谓的生死契约，比建立在利益上的契约要牢固得多, 他们既需要相互依靠，又能够相互制约。现在的劫匪也都蛮讲犯罪文化的.” 技术科的秦东打趣道.	“Make sense. That’s called bond of life. It’s stronger than any other agreement that are based on lucrative reasons. They not only need to reply on each other, but also need to restrict each other. Robbers today already have criminal culture.” Qing Dong from criminal technology team teased.

“回到正题, 下一步的当务之急, 追查逃逸的白色捷达, 调查受害人死前几日的活动, 确定枪支类型.	“Let’s get back to our topic. Our current highest priorities are, searching for the escaped white Jetta, investigating the last activities of the victims and identifying the model of the gun.

刘明天话音刚落, 会议室的门外进来一个人, “刘队, 刚接到电话, 说东风广场那边发现一辆弃置的白色捷达, 让你们过去看看.”	The second Liu Mingtian finished his speech, someone came into the meeting room, “Chief Inspector Liu, a phone call just came in, there was a discarded white Jetta on Dong Feng square. They want you to have a look over there.”

当刘明天, 秦东和赵凯峰赶到东风广场时, 有两个交警已经守在那辆白色捷达旁了. 高个的那个指了指车子, “在这至少停了三个小时了, 旁边的小贩说, 从他们来时车就已经停这儿了.	When Liu Mingtian, Qin Dong and Zhao Kaifeng arrived at Dong Feng square, there were two traffic policemen waiting beside the White Jetta. The taller one pointed at the car, “It has been parking here for at least three hours. The peddlers nearby said that the car had been here since they came.

车门开着, 没人见到过车主. 这是违章停车, 听说你们在查一辆白色捷达, 所以拖走前先通知你们过来看看. “	The car door was left open, no one had seen the owner. This is illegal parking. We heard that you are looking for a white Jetta, so we figure it’s better to let you have a look before we tow it away. “
chēmén kāi zhe, méi rén jiàndào guò chēzhŭ. zhè shì wéizhāng tíngchē, tīngshuō nĭmen zài chá yī liàng báisè Jiédá, suŏyĭ tuōzŏu qián xiān tōngzhī nĭmen guòlái kànkan. “
秦东此时已在车的另一侧后门处蹲下, “你们过来看, 车门上有个洞!”	During the conversation, Qin Dong already squatted down beside the rear car door on the other side of the car. “Come have a look! There’s a hole on the car door!”
Qín dōng cĭshí yĭ zài chē de lìngyī cè hòumén chŭ dūnxià, “ nĭmen guò láikàn, chēmén shàng yŏu gè dòng!”
秦东所指的洞, 大小能穿过人的一个小手指. 洞的形状和位置让秦东颇感兴奋.	The hole that Qin Dong mentioned was of the size that a little finger could come through. The shape and position of the hole made Qin Dong excited
Qín dōng suŏzhĭ de dòng, dàxiăo néng chuānguò rén de yī gè xiăo shŏuzhĭ. dòng de xíngzhuàng hé wèizhi ràng Qín dōng pō găn xīngfèn.
“这车看起来很新嘛, 却偏偏生出个洞来?” 刘明天看着秦东兴奋的表情, 问道, “你觉得它象什么?”	“The car looks quite new, how could it has a hole on it.” Liu Mingtian noticed the excitement on Qin Dong’s face and asked, ”What do you think it looks like?”
“ zhè chē kànqĭlái hěn xīn ma, què piānpiān shēngchū gè dòng lái?” Liú míngtiān kàn zhe Qín dōng xīngfèn de biăoqíng, wèndào, “ nĭ juéde tā xiàng shénme?”
“枪洞.” 秦东回答.	“Bullet hole.” Qin Dong answered.
“ qiāng dòng.” Qín dōng huídá.
“你不是说, 抢劫案中的四颗弹头都找到了吗?”	“Didn’t you say that all four bullets fired at the robbery scene were collected already? “
“ nĭ bùshì shuō, qiăngjié’àn zhòngdì sì kē dàntóu dōu zhăo dàoliăo ma?”
“这个枪洞跟那四枪没有关系. “ 秦东肯定地回答.	“This one has nothing to do with those four.” Qin Dong stated.
“ zhège qiāng dòng gēn nà sì qiāng méiyŏuguānxi. “ Qín dōng kěndìng dì huídá.
“就是说, 可能还有新的命案?” 赵凯峰看看秦东, 又看看刘明天, 两人都没有说话.	“Does that mean that there were possibly more killings?” Zhao Kaifeng looked at Liu Mingtian and Qin Dong, none of them said anything.
“ jiùshìshuō, kěnéng háiyŏu xīn de mìng’àn?” zhào kăifēng kànkan Qín dōng, yòu kànkan Liú míngtiān, liăng rén dōu méiyŏu shuōhuà.
白色捷达的车主很快就弄清楚了，是一个登山用品公司的老板,叫齐友发。	The owner of the white Jetta was identified soon to be Qi Youfa, the owner of a climbing equipment business.

但接下来的, 却是刘明天最不希望听到的结果, 齐友发在抢劫案发前一天失踪了。	But what happened to him was the worst that Liu Mingtian expected to hear. He was missing the day before the robbery.

据齐友发的雇员反映, 齐友发失踪那天下班比较早. 下班的时候是跟他的情妇一起开车走的.	According to Qi’s employee, he left work early that day and drove away in his car with his mistress.

而他的家人一直到夜里都没见他回家. 他的妻子打不通他的手机, 担心出事. 第二天中午就去派出所报了警.	His family never heard back from him since then. His wife couldn’t reach him by his cell phone so she reported his missing to the police around noon the next day.

	Cui Yan, Qi’s mistress, didn’t return to her rented apartment that night either. According to her roommate, Cui Yan left her renting place in the afternoon. She told her that she was to date her boyfriend and would be back late. However, she never came back.

不难推断, 这辆白色捷达很可能就是劫案中的那辆车. 对它的堪验也立刻成了破案的关键.	It’s not hard to see that, the white Jetta was quite possible to be the car that was used in the robbery. A forensic investigation of the car became a new focus of the case.

“这车收拾得可真干净, 就是外星人开过来的, 也该留个爪印不是? “ 秦东嘀咕着.	“How much cleaner it could be? Even if it was driven by an alien, there must have been paw print left somewhere, isn’t?” Qin Dong murmured.
“ zhè chē shōushi dé kě zhēn gānjìng, jiùshì wàixīngrén kāi guòlái de, yě gāi liú gè zhăoyìn bùshì? “ Qín dōng dígu zhe.
赵凯峰耸耸肩, 做了个鬼脸. 看秦东一脸大汗, 就安慰他道, ”秦老师, 你刚才不是在后车座位上发现两点血迹了吗?” 说着, 他抬了抬手上拿着的紫外灯, 提醒秦东.	Zhao Kaifeng shrugged and grinned. Checking on the sweating face of Qin Dong, he decided to give him some comfort, ”Qin Sir, didn’t you find two bloodstains on the rear car seats just now?” He raised the ultraviolet lamp on his hand as a reminder to Qin Dong.
zhào kăifēng sŏng sŏngjiān, zuò le gè guĭliăn. kàn Qín dōng yī liăn dàhán, jiù ānwèi tā dào, ” Qín lăoshī, nĭ gāngcái bùshì zàihòu chē zuòwèi shàng fāxiàn liăng diăn xuèjì le ma?” shuō zhe, tā tái le tái shŏu shàng ná zhe de zĭwài dēng, tíxĭng Qín dōng.
“那两点痕迹可能是人血, 也可能不是. 我本来想, 既然有弹孔, 那车上应该能检测到多一些的血迹. 但我错了. 整个车内干净得出奇,	“Those two bloodstains could be human’s, could be not. I was hoping there were much more bloodstains in the car judging by the bullet hole. But I was wrong. The whole interior of the car is just too clean to bear any valuable evidence.
“ nà liăng diăn hénjì kěnéng shì rén xuè, yě kěnéng bùshì. wŏ běnlái xiăng, jìrán yŏu dànkŏng, nà chē shàng yīnggāi néng jiăncè dào duō yīxiē de xuèjì. dàn wŏ cuò le. zhěnggè chē nèi gānjìng de chūqí,
根本找不到有价值的证据.

你帮我把车库门打开, 灯也开了. 我们可以看看车外部. 这鬼天气!” 秦东骂了一句, 擦了擦额上的汗. 然后把车引擎盖打开支了起来.	Please help me open the garage door and turn on the light. This damn weather!” Qin Dong cursed while wiping off the sweat from his forehead. Then he stood the engine cover up.
nĭ bāng wŏ bă chēkù mén dăkāi, dēng yě kāi le. wŏmen kěyĭ kànkan chē wàibù. zhè guĭtiānqì!” Qín dōng mà le yījù, cā le cā é shàng de hàn. ránhòu bă chē yĭnqíng gài dăkāi zhī le qilai.
赵凯峰开了灯, 虽然是白天, 能照进车库的太阳光仍不充分. 他对引擎没有兴趣. 通常在人命案里, 后厢多会被用来运尸.	Zhao Kaifeng turned on the light. Although it’s day time, the sunlight came into the garage was not sufficient. He had no interest in the engine. Usually in a homicide case, the trunk of a vehicle is often used to carry bodies.
zhào kăifēng kāi le dēng, suīrán shì báitiān, néng zhào jìn chēkù de tàiyángguāng réng bù chōngfèn. tā duì yĭnqíng méiyŏu xìngqù. tōngcháng zài rén mìng’àn lĭ, hòu xiāng duō huì bèi yònglái yùn shī.
这样想着, 他绕到车尾, 正打算开车后厢, 秦东在那一头发出一声感叹.	With that thoughts in mind, he walked to the back of the car and was about to open the trunk before he heard an outcry from Qin Dong.
zhèyàng xiăng zhe, tā rào dào chē wěi, zhèng dăsuàn kāichē hòu xiāng, Qín dōng zài nà yītóu fāchū yīshēng găntàn.
“怪事, 引擎上居然有鸟粪?!”	“Weird. How could bird shits get on the engine?”
“ guàishì, yĭnqíng shàng jūrán yŏu niăofèn?!”
“鸟粪?!”	“Bird shits?”
“ niăofèn?!”
秦东指的鸟粪是一小块白色的粘稠物. 他用戴着手套的手指摸了摸.	The bird shits that Qin Dong mentioned was a small blob of white sticky stuff. He touched it with glove on.
Qín dōng zhĭ de niăofèn shì yī xiăo kuài báisè de niánchóu wù. tā yòng dàizhe shŏutào de shŏuzhĭ mō le mō.
“还没干, 落到引擎上的时间还不长. 鸟的粪便怎么会落到引擎上呢?” 秦东琢磨着.	“Not dried up yet. It hasn’t been too long after it got on the engine. How could bird shits get dropped on the engine?” Qin Dong thought out loud.
“ hái méi gān, luò dào yĭnqíng shàng de shíjiān hái bù cháng. niăo de fènbiàn zěnme huì luò dào yĭnqíng shàng ne?” Qín dōng zuómo zhe.
“肯定不是在车行走的时候, 谁会开着引擎盖开车?” 赵凯峰也来了兴趣.	“For sure it didn’t happen when the car was moving. Who would drive a car when the engine cover is open up?” The question aroused Zhao Kaifeng’s curiosity too.
“ kěndìng bùshì zài chēháng zŏu de shíhou, shéi huì kāi zhe yĭnqíng gài kāichē?” zhào kăifēng yě lái le xìngqù.

秦东在车旁踱起步来, “既然齐友发和情妇崔雁双双失踪, 而且失踪时开的车又出现在抢劫案中, 我们是不是可以这样推测:	Qin Dong strolled beside the car, “Since Qi Youfa and Cui Yan were both disappeared, the car they were in also appeared again in a robbery, we could probably speculate the case like this:
Qín dōng zài chē páng duó qĭ bù lái, “ jìrán qí yŏufā hé qíngfù cuī yàn shuāng shuāng shīzōng, érqiě shīzōng shí kāi de chē yòu chūxiàn zài qiăngjié’àn zhōng, wŏmen shìbùshì kěyĭ zhèyàng tuīcè:
齐友发下班后和崔雁开车出来, 他们可能去了郊外一个有林子的地方, 把车停了, 待在车内, 又怕被路人看见, 所以齐友发就把引擎盖支起来. 树上的鸟儿就在那段时间里在引擎上做了印记.”	Qi youfa drove his car out after work with Cui Yan. They probably went to the woods in the suburb area. They parked their car and stayed in the car. Being afraid to be watched by the passersby, Qi Youfa pull up the engine over. Birds in the tree made their mark on the engine during that period.
qí yŏufā xiàbān hòu hé cuī yàn kāichē chūlái, tāmen kěnéng qù le jiāowài yī gè yŏu línzi de dìfang, bă chē tíng le, dài zài chē nèi, yòu pà bèi lùrén kànjiàn, suŏyĭ qí yŏufā jiù bă yĭnqíng gài zhī qilai. shù shàng de niăor jiù zài nà duàn shíjiān lĭ zài yĭnqíng shàng zuò le yìnjì.”
“引擎盖被拉起, 挡住了齐友发和崔雁的视线, 所以他们也不会注意路人. “ 赵凯峰试着把秦东的推测讲完.	“With the engine cover stood up, Qi Youfa and Cui Yan couldn’t see the passersby well either.” Zhao Kaifeng tried to complete Qin Dong’s speculation.
“ yĭnqíng gài bèi lā qĭ, dăngzhù le qí yŏufā hé cuī yàn de shìxiàn, suŏyĭ tāmen yě bùhuì zhùyì lùrén. “ zhào kăifēng shìzhe bă Qín dōng de tuīcè jiăng wán.
“他们更不会想到, 有人竟拿着枪来打劫. 从车被发现时的状况来看, 歹徒至少开了一枪. 车被抢, 再被丢弃时里里外外都清洗得干干净净. 这说明齐友发和崔雁很可能已经被害了.”	“They never expected that someone could have robbed them with guns in hand. Based on the condition of the car when it was found, the robbers at least had fired one shot. The car was robbed and then again got abandoned after a thorough cleanup. That means it is quite possible that Qi Youfa and Cui Yan have both been killed.
“ tāmen gèng bùhuì xiăngdào, yŏurén jìng ná zhe qiāng lái dăjié. cóng chē bèi fāxiàn shí de zhuàngkuàng láikàn, dăitú zhìshăo kāi le yī qiāng. chē bèi qiăng, zài bèi diūqì shí lĭlĭwàiwài dōu qīngxĭ de gāngānjìngjìng. zhè shuōmíng qí yŏufā hé cuī yàn hěn kěnéng yĭjīng bèi hài le.”
秦东沉思着点了点头, ”接下来的问题是, 抛尸地点又在哪儿呢?”	Qin Dong nodded silently, ”Then the next question is, where did they dumped the bodies?”
Qín dōng chénsī zhe diăn le diăntóu, ” jiēxiàlái de wèntí shì, pāo shī dìdiăn yòu zài năr ne?”
“我们还没堪验过后厢吧?” 被赵凯峰一提醒, 秦东忙绕过来打开后厢.	“We haven’t check the car trunk yet?” Reminded by Zhao Kaifeng, Qin Dong turned to the back and opened the trunk.
“ wŏmen hái méi kān yàn guò hòuxiāng ba?” bèi zhào kăifēng yī tíxĭng, Qín dōng máng rào guòlái dăkāi hòu xiāng.
后厢和车内一样, 干净得没有任何杂物. 赵凯峰略显失望.	The trunk was as sparkly clean as the inside of the car, no single extra object was found. Zhao Kaifeng was a bit disappointed.
hòu xiāng hé chē nèi yīyàng, gānjìng de méiyŏu rènhé záwù. zhào kăifēng lüè xiăn shīwàng.
秦东取下一只手套, 摸了摸后厢的垫毯, “还有点湿! 看来他们用水好好清洗过.”	Qin Dong took one glove off and touched the mat in the trunk, “Still wet! I bet they did a good wash on it.”
Qín dōng qŭ xià yī zhĭ shŏutào, mō le mō hòu xiāng de diàn tăn, “ háiyŏu diăn shī! kànlai tāmen yòng shuĭ hăohăo qīngxĭ guò.”
说着他把垫毯拉起来, 底下露出一个备用胎. 秦东重新带上手套, 在备用胎的缝隙里摸来摸去.	He lifted the mat up while talking. A spare tire came to light from underneath. Qin Dong put the glove back on and reached his fingers inside the spare tire.
shuō zhe tā bă diàn tăn lā qilai, dĭxia lùchū yī gè bèiyòng tāi. Qín dōng chóngxīn dài shàng shŏutào, zài bèiyòng tāi de fèngxì lĭ mō lái mō qù.
“你在找什么?” 赵凯峰忍不住问. 刚被分到刑警队的他, 心里还带着一些心高气傲.	“What are you looking for?” Zhao Kaifeng couldn’t help but ask. A new guy in the criminal police squad, he still carried on a bit of pride and arrogance from his youth.
“ nĭ zài zhăo shénme?” zhào kăifēng rěnbuzhù wèn. gāng bèi fēn dào xíngjĭng duì de tā, xīnli hái dài zhe yīxiē xīngāoqì’ào.
对老刑警的办案方式, 他有自己的看法. 对秦东现在的举动, 他觉得是白费时间.	For the methods the senior folks used in their work, he had his own opinion. He thought it was a waste of time for what Qin Dong was doing.
duì lăo xíngjĭng de bàn’àn fāngshì, tā yŏu zìjĭ de kànfă. duì Qín dōng xiànzài de jŭdòng, tā juéde shì báifèi shíjiān.

“他们如果用水冲洗过后厢, 那小的物品就会被水流冲走, 而且很容易卡在有缝隙的地方.” 秦东觉察到赵凯峰语气里的烦躁, 但他并不介意.	“If they use water to wash the trunk of the car, then small objects might have been flushed away and got stuck in narrow cracks.” Qin Dong sensed the agitation in Zhao Kaifeng’s tone, but he didn’t mind.
“ tāmen rúguŏ yòng shuĭ chōngxĭ guò hòu xiāng, nà xiăode wùpĭn jiù huì bèi shuĭliú chōngzŏu, érqiě hěn róngyì qiă zài yŏu fèngxì de dìfang.” Qín dōng juéchá dào zhào kăifēng yŭqì lĭ de fánzào, dàn tā bìngbù jièyì.
片刻后, 他从备用胎的缝隙里摸出几粒粗沙. 他把他们放在一个物证带里, 然后继续在备用胎里摸索.	After a little while, he took out a few big pieces of grit. He put them into an evidence bag, then went on fumbling inside the spare tire.

接下来秦东摸出来的东西, 让赵凯峰着实愣住了.	The thing that he got out of the tire really surprised Zhao Kaifeng.
jiēxiàlái Qín dōng mō chūlái de dōngxi, ràng zhào kăifēng zhuóshí lèngzhù le.
“螺狮?!”	“A snail?!”
“ luó shī?!”
“没错, 螺狮! 从一个崭新的备用胎里找到的螺狮.“ 秦东小心翼翼地举起他的新发现, 得意而畅快地笑了, 笑得眼角的皱纹都立时堆积起来.	“That’s right, a snail! A snail that comes out of a brand new tire. ” Qin Dong held up his discovery carefully with a loud laughter, a laughter that made all his eye wrinkles that obvious.
“ méicuò, luó shī! cóng yī gè zhănxīn de bèiyòng tāi lĭ zhăodào de luó shī. “ Qín dōng xiăoxīnyìyì de jŭqĭ tā de xīn fāxiàn, déyì ér chàngkuài de xiào le, xiào dé yănjiăo de zhòuwén dōu lìshí duījī qilai.
“这一定是冲洗用的水里带来的. 还有这些沙子, 这些东西是不可能从自来水里跑出来的.” 秦东说着, 用食指戳了戳螺狮的螺盖, “还是湿润的呢!”	“This thing might have come from the water that they used to wash the car. Together with all the sand, there’s no way they could come out of water tap.” While talking, Qin Dong poked the lid of the snail with his forefinger, “It’s still wet!”
“ zhè yīdìng shì chōngxĭ yòng de Shuĭlĭ dàilái de. háiyŏu zhèxiē shāzi, zhèxiē dōngxi shì bùkěnéng cóng zìláishuĭ lĭ păochū lái de.” Qín dōng shuō zhe, yòng shízhĭ chuō le chuō luó shī de luó gài, “ háishi shīrùn de ne!”
“这么说, 他们是在野外清洗的车子?” 赵凯峰又回到了请教式的语气.	“So that means they washed the car in the wilderness?” Zhao Kaifeng changed his tone into consulting.
“ zhème shuō, tāmen shì zài yěwài qīngxĭ de chēzi?” zhào kăifēng yòu huídào le qĭngjiào shì de yŭqì.
“没错. 走, 我们该去看看地图了.” 秦东把几个物证带捏在手上, 朝赵凯峰挥了挥手, 一起走出了车库.	“Yes. It’s time for us to check the map out.” Qin Dong pinched the evidence bags with his fingers and gestured Zhao Kaifeng to walk out of the garage.
“ méicuò. zŏu, wŏmen gāi qù kànkan dìtú le.” Qín dōng bă jĭge wùzhèng dài niē zài shŏu shàng, cháo zhào kăifēng huī le huīshŏu, yīqĭ zŏuchū le chēkù.

“妈妈! 哥哥来啦! 哥哥来啦!” 小姑娘站在门口, 把门外一个穿白T恤衫的年轻小伙子拉了进来.	“Mommy! Bro is here! Bro is here!” The little girl stood at the door and dragged in a young man in white T-shirt.

小伙子一把抱起了妹妹, 在空中轻轻抛起又接住, ”小丫头, 你是越长越沉了, 哥都快抱不动你了!”	The young man grabbed his little sister, gently threw her into the air and caught her back again, ”Little sis, how heavy you’ve grown, I hardly can hold you now!”

其实庄立群今年已经二十四了, 在这个纷杂的社会里也混了八年有余. 不过每次来生母家做客, 他都会觉得自己又变回了孩子.	As a matter of fact, Zhuang Liqun was already twenty four years old. He had worked in this cynical society for eight years. However, every time he came to his Mom’s house, he felt like a kid again.

庄立群斜靠在沙发上，让妹妹靠在自己身上看”喜羊羊”。他想，也许有一天他自己也会有一个这样的家。不过, 那个家会十分地气派，	Zhuang Liqun reclined on the sofa, letting his sister to lean on him and watch “Happy Lambs”. He thought, maybe one day he would have a home like this of his own. However, his own home would be really glamorous,

他会让自己的女人，妈妈，妹妹和所有的亲戚都为之自豪。他会邀他们常来聚会。他会象个大哥一样，关照所有他想关照的朋友们。	he would let his own woman, his Mom, his sister and all his other relatives be proud of his home. He would invite them for parties. He would behave like a mogul and take care of all the friends that he cares.

“立群，这些东西是你的吧，快放到客厅去，厨房油烟大，别弄脏了。” 已准备好一桌丰盛菜肴的文素云指着厨房墙角边的几个大大小小的精美购物带对儿子说。	“Liqun, are these stuff yours, move them to the living room please. I don’t want the kitchen grease to get on them.” Wen Suyun, who had just prepared a full table of delicious dishes, asked Zhuang Liqun while pointing at the pretty shopping bags lined up at the corner.
” lì qún， zhèxiē dōngxi shì nĭ de ba， kuài fàng dào kètīng qù， chúfáng yóuyān dà， bié nòngzāng le。” yĭ zhŭnbèi hăo yī zhuō fēngshèng càiyáo de wén sù yún zhĭ zhe chúfáng qiángjiăo biān de jĭge dàdàxiăoxiăode jīngměi gòuwù dài duì érzi shuō。
“妈，那些都是给你们买的，看喜不喜欢?” 庄立群扭头回答。	“Mom, those are for you guys, see whether you like it?” Zhuang Liqun turned his head and replied.
” mā， nàxiē dōu shì gěi nĭmen măi de， kàn xĭ bù xĭhuan?” zhuāng lì qún niŭtóu huídá。
“来吃饭就来吃饭，谁让你拎东西来啦? 你那点工资还不够你自己使呢!” 文素云一边说，一边弯腰瞅了瞅袋子里的盒子.	“If you just come to eat, why do you need to bring things for us? The income you have can barely meet you ends with!” Wen Suyun said while drooping down to have a look at those bags.

“我说立群, 你咋买那么贵的东西呢?!” 文素云从袋子里拿出一张小单, 上面打着人民币五千八的总价.	“Come on, Liqun, how could you spend so much on buying this?!” Wen Suyun picked up a receipt from the bag. The total price on the receipt was five thousand and eight hundred RMB.

庄立群心里暗暗懊悔, 忘了把小单从袋子里拿出来了. 妈妈节俭了一辈子, 最怕子女乱花钱. 送她名贵的东西都得骗她说不贵或打折她才肯收.	Zhuang Liqun secretly regret that he should have taken out the receipt from the shopping bag. His Mom had been living frugally in her whole life. He had to lie about the cost every time he gave an expensive gift to her.

“妈, 那件大衣是国际品牌, 质量样式都没得说的. 你不老说冬天出门冷吗, 穿上这件保证暖和!” 没等听的人回话, 他就把妹妹拉起来, 带她去看他给她买的玩具和衣服.	“Mom, the coat is an international brand. Quality and style are both guaranteed. Didn’t you say it’s too cold to walk outside in winter. Then wear this coat. You’ll feel really warm!” Before his Mom said anything back, Zhuang Liqun already pulled his sister to check the toys and clothes he bought for her.
“ mā, nà jiàn dàyī shì guójì pĭnpái, zhìliàng yàngshì dōu méideshuō de. nĭ bù lăo shuō dōngtiān chūmén lěng ma, chuānshang zhè jiàn băozhèng nuănhuo!” méi děng tīng de rén huíhuà, tā jiù bă mèimei lā qilai, dài tā qù kàn tā gěi tā măi de wánjù hé yīfu.
佳佳手舞足蹈地摆弄着她的新礼物. 而庄立群则对妈妈说, “我给佳佳爸也买了套按摩器, 放门口这了. 可以做全身按摩. 看他喜不喜欢?”	Jiajia played with her new gifts with joy. Zhuang Liqun told his Mom, “I bought a set of massage tools for Jiajia’s Dad. It’s left near the door. It can be used to massage the whole body. See whether he likes it?”

文素云刚要开口, 佳佳的爸爸老钟推门进来了. “是立群来啦? 我说怎么那么热闹呢!”	As soon as Wen Suyun started to talk, Jiajia’s Dad opened the door and came in. “Liqun is here? No wonder it sounds like a party!”

老钟是个老实忠厚的药厂工人. 虽然庄立群从九岁起就跟离了婚的父亲一起生活, 但也经常来生母家帮忙. 和老钟处得挺好. 时不时还一起出去办个事什么的.	Lao Zhong was an honest and considerate worker that worked in a medicine factory. Although Zhuang Liqun lived with his Dad after his parent’s divorce, he used to come to Mom’s house to lend a hand. He got along with Lao Zhong very well. They even went out on errands together from time to time.

“佳佳爸, 你看立群这孩子, 今天来, 买这么贵的东西!” 文素云一脸为难的样子.	“Jiajia’s Dad, see? Liqun spent so much money on buying us gifts today!” Wen Suyun was not comfortable with that.
“ jiā jiā bà, nĭ kàn lì qún zhè háizi, jīntiān lái, măi zhème guì de dōngxi!” wén sù yún yī liăn wéinán de yàngzi.
庄立群一边帮老钟把大衣挂好, 一边笑着说, ”妈, 你就不能痛快收下吗? 我难说过段时间要去外地, 暂时来不了你们这. 就当是我的一份过年礼不行吗?”	Zhuang Liqun helped Lao Zhong hang up his coat, and then said with a smile, ” Mom, can’t you just happily accept the gifts? You probably won’t see me in a while since I’ll be on a trip to other places. Think about them as my new year gifts for you all, OK?”

“你要出差?”老钟问.	“Will you be on business trip?” Asked Lao Zhong.
“ nĭ yào chūchāi?” lăo zhōng wèn.
“是有这可能.” 庄立群应付了一句就嚷着肚子饿, 招呼大家一块儿上桌吃饭了.	“Possibly yes.” Answered Zhuang Liqun briefly. He then went on to complain how hungry he was and called out to get dinner started.

赵凯峰把上身探出车窗外，极力向前张望， ”快了快了，我已经看见大门了。”	Zhao Kaifeng stretched his body out of the car window and looked ahead, “We’re close, I can see the gate already. ”
zhào kăi fēng bă shàngshēn tàn chū chēchuāng wài， jílì xiàngqián zhāngwàng， ” kuài le kuài le， wŏ yĭjīng kànjiàn dàmén le。”
开车的刘明天往左右扫了一眼， ”这大门怎么修得那么深? 要是外地人来水库办事，能找得着门才怪呢!”	Liu Mingtian, who’s driving the car, did a quick check around and said, ”How could they build the gate up in such a remote place? How could they expect people to find it if they are not from local?

车子最终在水库的大门前停了下来。刘，赵两人下了车。赵凯峰走到铁栅栏门旁, 向里张望。门里除了一栋水库管理处的三层小楼，其余的都是湖水，沙滩和树林，既安静又优美。	Finally they parked their car in front of the reservoir gate. They both got off the car. Zhao Kaifeng looked inside through the barred gate. Inside the gate, other than a three-story building for administration staff, the rest were just lake, s andy shore and ravine, quiet and beautiful.

“你说, 那辆白色捷达, 真会是在这儿被清洗的吗?” 赵凯峰问。	“Do you really believe that the white Jetta was washed up here?” Zhao Kaifeng asked.
” nĭ shuō, nà liàng báisè Jiédá, zhēn huì shì zài zhèr bèi qīngxĭ de ma?” zhào kăi fēng wèn。
“这种可能最大。因为这儿是本市唯一的自然水体。先进去看看再说。”刘明天答。	“This is the only nature water body in this city. Let’s go in first.” Liu Mingtian replied.

“有人吗?” 他接着朝栅栏门里喊了一声。	Then he called out,”Anybody here?”
” yŏurén ma?” tā jiēzhe cháo zhàlán mén lĭ hăn le yīshēng。
“找谁啊?” 从小楼里走出了一个无精打采的老者。	“Who are you looking for?” An old man walked out listlessly.
” zhăo shéi ā?” cóngxiăo lóu lĭ zŏuchū le yī gè wújīngdăcăi de lăozhě。
“你好! 我们是公安局的，来这儿了解点情况。” 说着，刘明天向老者出示了证件。	“How are you? We’re police. We’re here to collect some information. ” Liu Mingtian introduced himself while showing his identify to the old man.
” nĭhăo! wŏmen shì gōng’ānjú de， lái zhèr liăojiě diăn qíngkuàng。” shuō zhe， Liú míngtiān xiàng lăozhě chūshì le zhèngjiàn。
老人看是公安，态度马上就积极了起来。他先自我介绍, 说是水库管理处的老闻, 然后就把他们领进接待室。	Knowing it’s a visit by the police, the old man’s attitude warmed up. He introduced himself as Lao Wen, who worked in the Administration Office of the reservoir. He then led the two detectives into the office.

接着又忙着沏茶倒水。被刘明天劝阻后, 老闻才放心地坐下来谈话。	He intended to make some tea for them, Liu Mingtian kindly stopped him.

“你们的水库总共有几道大门?” 刘明天直奔主题.	“How many gates do you have in total here?” Liu Mingtian got to the point.
“ nĭmen de shuĭkù zŏng gòngyŏu jĭ dào dàmén?” Liú míngtiān zhíbèn zhŭtí.
“只有两道。除了你们进来的那道, 南面还有一个门。”	“Only two. Other than the one you came through, there’s another gate on the south side.”
“ zhĭyŏu liăng dào。 chúle nĭmen jìnlái de nà dào, nánmiàn háiyŏu yī gè mén。”
“那个门汽车开得进来吗?”	“May car drive through the other one?”
“ nàge mén qìchē kāi dé jìnlái ma?”
“开得进来, 不过 …”	“Yes. However …”
“ kāi dé jìnlái, bùguò …”
老闻犹豫起来。刘, 赵两人急了, “不过什么?”	Lao Wen hesitated. Liu and Zhao followed up quickly, “however what?”
lăo wén yóuyù qilai。 Liú, zhào liăng rén jí le, “ bùguò shénme?”
“我们这两道大门常年都锁着。平时上下班的人都从正门上的那个小门进出。南边那道大门几乎不用。我们这儿很少有车来。”	“Both gates are locked up year round. Employees use the small door at main entrance to get in and out. The south gate is hardly used for anything. We don’t often have visiting cars neither.”
“ wŏmen zhè liăng dào dàmén chángnián dōu suŏ zhe。 píngshí shàngxiàbān de rén dōu cóng zhèngmén shàng de nàge xiăo mén jìnchū。 nánbian nà dào dàmén jīhū bùyòng。 wŏmen zhèr hěn shăoyŏu chē lái。”

赵凯峰看了一眼刘明天, 然后转头问老闻, “最近这一星期有车辆进出过这两道大门吗?”	Zhao Kaifeng made an eye contact with Liu Mingtian, and then asked Lao Wen, ”Was there any car came in through either of these gates this week?”
zhào kăi fēng kàn le yīyăn Liú míngtiān, ránhòu zhuăntóu wèn lăo wén, “ zuìjìn zhè yī xīngqī yŏu chēliàng jìnchū guò zhè liăng dào dàmén ma?”
老闻摸着脑门想了一想, 然后说, “没有。”	Lao Wen put his hand on his forehead and thought for a moment, “No, there were none.”
lăo wén mō zhe năomén xiăng le yī xiăng, ránhòu shuō, “méiyŏu。”
“不进这两道门，有没有可能从别的地方开车进水库呢?” 刘明天并不甘心。	“Without going through these two gates, are there any other entrance that a car could get in?” Liu Ming didn’t give up.
” bù jìn zhè liăng dào mén， yŏu méiyŏu kěnéng cóng biéde dìfang kāichē jìn shuĭkù ne?” Liú míngtiān bìngbù gānxīn。
“那是肯定没有的。你们来时开的那条小路，是唯一一条能走车的路。而且那是条死路, 绕到南门就断了。	“Zero possibility. The road you came in from is the only route a vehicle could drive in from. Moreover, that road hit a dead end at the south gate.

水库沿路都有围栏，人有可能钻得进来，但车不通过两道大门是进不来的。” 老闻对水库的情况了如指掌。	The reservoir is fully encompassed by barriers that could only allow people to slip in, but not cars. Other than the two gates, there’s no other way for a car to slip in.” Apparently Lao Wen knew the inside and out of the reservoir.

“那谁有这两道大门的钥匙呢?” 赵凯峰沉不住气了。	“Then who has the keys to these two gates then?” Zhao Kaifeng asked impatiently.
” nà shéi yŏu zhè liăng dào dàmén de yàoshi ne?” zhào kăi fēng chénbùzhùqì le。
“有钥匙的只有两个人，我和保卫处的罗元。”	“Only two people, Luo Yuan, the security staff and me.”
” yŏu yàoshi de zhĭyŏu liăng gèrén， wŏ hé băowèi chŭ de luó yuán。”
“罗元? 他今天在吗?”刘明天问。	“Luo Yuan? Is he in today?” Asked Liu Mingtian.
” luó yuán? tā jīntiān zài ma?” Liú míngtiān wèn。
“在!在!他刚刚去水边取样去了。水库的水质我们定期要做检查的。要不要我带你们去找他?”	“Oh yeah! He just went off to take water samples. As a routine, we need to check water quality. Do you want me to take you to him?”

水库一眼望去象个大湖。水边是黄白黄白的沙滩。因为不对游人开放, 沙滩上还是挺干净的。	The reservoir was like a big lake. There was yellowish sandy shore around the water. The shore looked very clean since it’s not open to public.

罗元背对着他们蹲在水边, 身边放着一个打开的箱子，里面放着一些大大小小的玻璃瓶。	Luo Yuan was crouching beside the water facing his back to them. A box was open aside with sorted glass bottles, big or small.

“小罗啊，公安局的同志来找你了解情况。你把东西放放，我们先回办公室吧!” 老闻对罗元说。	“Mr. Luo, police is here to collect information. Please put down your work for a while and come back to the office!” Lao Wen talked to Luo Yuan.

刘明天冲老闻摆摆手， ”不用麻烦，我们就在这儿谈吧!” 说着，他向罗元伸出了手，并简单做了自我介绍。赵凯峰也和罗元打了个招呼。	Liu Mingtian gestured to Lao Wen and said, “No worries, we can just talk here!” He reached out his hand to Luo Yuan and introduced himself. Zhao Kaifeng greeted Luo Yuan as well.

罗元长得人高马大，脸上看起来却十分地稚气。他摸着脑袋努力思考了一下。	Luo Yuan was tall and strong. However his face looked childish. He scratched his head and thought hard for a while.

我们水库不对外开放，闲人一般进不来, 这里面都是开阔地，小树林也很稀疏, 就是有人想躲这儿也没地方藏啊! 你们到底要找什么?” 罗元连珠炮似的说了一通。	The reservoir is not open to public, no one is allowed to come in other than staff members. It’s a open place, even the ravine is sparse. There’s no spot secluded enough to hide a person here! What exactly you’re looking for?” Luo Yuan talked in a fast fashion.

刘明天和赵凯峰交换了眼色，罗元的态度很主动，但似乎过于主动了。刘明天想，那我就给他透露些情况，看他有什么反应。	Liu Mingtian and Zhao Kaifeng exchanged a meaningful glance. The attitude of Luo Yuan was quite active, a bit too active though. Liu Mingtian thought that he should reveal more information to him to get more reaction.

刘明天又拿出两张打印纸，指着上面的画像让他们辨认。老闻认真得看了半天，失望地摇了摇头。而罗元则马上开始问问题。	Liu Mingtian then took out two pieces of print paper and let them to identify the portraits on the paper. Lao Wen looked carefully for a while, but shook his head disappointedly in the end. Luo Yuan, instead, started to ask questions right away.

“不熟也不生，长这模样的人到处都是。他们到底干啥坏事儿了?” 罗元又重复了一遍他的问题。	“Not familiar nor strange. People with this look are everywhere. What bad things they did exactly?” Luo Yuan asked his question again.

” nĭ bùzěnme kàn diànshì ba? qiánjĭtiān xīnwén lĭ dōu zài tōngjī zhè liăng gèrén， tāmen shì chí qiāng qiăngjié’àn de xiányífàn。” zhào kăi fēng yībiān huídá， yībiān mùbùzhuănjīng de dīng zhe luó yuán。
“诶，同志，你的意思是，这两人, 就是星期天在国道上抢劫又杀人的路匪?!” 罗元显出吃惊的模样。	“Then are you saying that they are the robbers who killed people on the Highway last Sundays?” Luo Yuan looked a bit shocked.
” ēi， tóngzhì， nĭ de yìsi shì， zhè liăng rén, jiùshì Xīngqītiān zài guódào shàng qiăngjié yòu shārén de lù fěi?!” luó yuán xiănchū chījīng de múyàng。
“没错，说的就是那桩案子。” 刘明天确认道。	“Exactly, that is the case we’re talking about.” Liu Mingtian confirmed.
” méicuò， shuō de jiùshì nà zhuāng ànzi。” Liú míngtiān quèrèndào。
“不会吧。。。” 罗元小声嘟囔了一句。	“It can’t be true…” Luo Yuan murmured.
” bùhuì ba。。。” luó yuán xiăoshēng dū-nang le yījù。
“不会什么?”刘明天反问。	“What can’t be true?” Asked Liu Mingtian.
” bùhuì shénme?” Liú míngtiān fănwèn。
“哦，没什么，我就是觉得那些路匪不会到我们这儿来。这个水库是片开阔地，没处躲啊!”	“Oh nothing, I just think that those robbers should not choose to come here. The reservoir is open land, there’s nowhere to hide at all.”
” o， méishénme， wŏ jiùshì juéde nàxiē lù fěi bùhuì dào wŏmen zhèr lái。 zhège shuĭkù shì piàn kāikuò dì， méi chù duŏ ā!”
“我们更关心的是，近几天有没有车辆进来过? 你能再好好想想吗?” 刘明天恳切地问罗元。	“We’re more interested in whether people were allowed in these days. Could you please think it over one more time?” Liu Mingtian asked Luo Yuan earnestly.
” wŏmen gèng guānxīn de shì， jìn jĭtiān yŏu méiyŏu chēliàng jìnlái guò? nĭ néng zài hăohăo xiăng xiăng ma?” Liú míngtiān kěnqiè de wèn luó yuán。
“反正我是肯定没见过有车进来的。” 罗元说完又看向老闻。 ”闻主任，你呢?”	“Sure enough I haven’t seen anyone coming in.” That being said, Luo Yuan turned to Lao Wen, “And you?”
”fănzhèng wŏ shì kěndìng méi jiàn guò yŏu chē jìnlái de。” luó yuán shuō wán yòu kàn xiàng lăo wén。 ” wén zhŭrèn， nĭ ne?”	Lao Wen waved his hand and shook his head, “Neither have I.”
老闻又摆手，又摇头， ”我也没见过。”

刘明天他们走后，罗元又回到水边取样。老闻则回到办公室，开了他的小播放机，继续听他最喜欢的京剧。	After Liu and Zhao left, Luo Yuan came back to the water side to continue taking water samples. Lao Wen went back to the office and turned on his audio player to listen to his favorite Beijing Opera.
Liú míngtiān tāmen zŏu hòu， luó yuán yòu huídào shuĭbiān qŭyàng。 lăo wén zé huídào bàngōngshì， kāi le tā de xiăo bōfàngjī， jìxù tīng tā zuì xĭhuan de Jīngjù。
天色渐晚，老闻看了看播放机上的时间，收拾收拾东西，拎着包到水边跟罗元打了个招呼就回家去了。	The night was approaching. Lao Wen checked the time on the audio player. Then he wrapped up his stuff, carried his suitcase, went back to the water side, said goodbye to Luo Yuan and left.

水库里只剩下罗元了。他丢下取水样的箱子，沿着水边不紧不慢地走起来。	By then, Luo Yuan was the person left in the reservoir. He left his sample box and strolled along the water bank.
shuĭkù lĭ zhĭ shèngxià luó yuán le。 tā diūxià qŭshuĭ yàng de xiāngzi， yánzhe shuĭbiān bù jĭn bù màn de zŏu qilai。
异常安静的水和沙滩, 还有周围的矮树林, 在警察来过后, 都变了味道.	The quiet water and the sand shore, also the ravine around, they all looked different after the visit of the police.
yìcháng ānjìng de shuĭ hé shātān, háiyŏu zhōuwéi de ăi shùlín, zài jĭngchá lái guòhòu, dōu biàn le wèidao.
它们不象平时那样让罗元感到身心放松, 正相反, 它们的沉默给罗元带来的是不一种不安, 一种难以名状的不安.	They can’t offer the relaxing atmosphere to Luo Yuan like before. On the contrary, their silence made Luo Yuan to feel uneasy and fidgeting.
tāmen bù xiàng píngshí nàyàng ràng luó yuán găndào shēnxīn fàngsōng, zhèng xiāngfăn, tāmen de chénmò gěi luó yuán dàilái de shì bù yīzhŏng bù’ān, yīzhŏng nányĭ míngzhuàng de bù’ān.
“水库的门开不开，跟抢劫案会有什么关系呢? 这些警察真是脑子进水。	“Whether the gates of the reservoir were opened or not – what could that has anything to do with the robbery?
” shuĭkù de mén kāi bù kāi， gēn qiăngjié’àn huì yŏu shénme guānxi ne? zhèxiē jĭngchá zhēnshi năozijìnshuĭ。
这里面树都很矮，稀稀疏疏的，猫都藏不了，还能藏人?” 罗元在心里嘀咕。”	These police must have had their head stuffed. With trees so short and sparse, even a cat can’t hide here, how could a human being do that?” Luo Yuan questioned in his mind.
zhèlĭ miàn shù dōu hěn ăi， xīxīshūshū de， māo dōu cáng bùliăo， hái néng cáng rén?” luó yuán zài xīn lĭ dígu。”
虽然没跟警察说实话，也不会有多大的后果吧。我天天在这里上班，没啥不对的呀。。。”	“Although I didn’t tell the truth to the police, I don’t think anything bad could come out of it. I work here everyday, things look just normal everywhere. ”

一只绿皮青蛙挡住了罗元的路，罗元对青蛙做了个鬼脸，然后用力在青蛙面前跺了一脚。	A green frog blocked Luo Yuan’s way. He made a face to the frog and then stomp heavily in front of it.

青蛙飞快地逃开了。看青蛙逃命的样子，罗元呵呵一笑。与此同时，手机声响起, 罗元忙把手机从腰间摸出。	The frog escaped in a flash. Looking at the hopping-away frog, Luo Yuan chuckled. At that moment, a phone ring came. He then quickly fished out his cell phone.

“咦?没有来电啊?”	“Why, there’s no call coming?”
” yí? méiyŏu láidiàn ā?”
罗元瞬时明白了, 铃声不是自己的手机发出来的。声音不大，听起来就在附近。	Suddenly, Luo Yuan realized that the ring tone did not come from his own cell phone. The sound was not loud but felt like it came from nearby.
luó yuán shùnshí míngbai le, língshēng bùshì zìjĭ de shŏujī fā chūlái de。 shēngyīn bùdà， tīngqilai jiù zài fùjìn。
可是，水库里现在应该只有罗元一个人!	However, Luo Yuan was the only person left in the reservoir!
kěshì， shuĭkù lĭ xiànzài yīnggāi zhĭyŏu luó yuán yīgèrén!
“老闻!老闻!”罗元喊了两声。 ”你还没走吗?”他的声音有些发颤。	“Lao Wen! Lao Wen!” Luo Yuan called out. “Haven’t you left?” His voice was a bit shivered.
” lăo wén! lăo wén!” luó yuán hăn le liăng shēng。 ” nĭ hái méi zŏu ma?” tā de shēngyīn yŏuxiē fāchàn。
无人答应，铃声也终于停止。	No one answered. The ring tone stopped.
wúrén dāying， língshēng yě zhōngyú tíngzhĭ。
罗元紧张地四下张望。别说人影，连个鬼影都没有! 他咽了口唾沫，象是在拼命吞下一颗壮胆药。	Luo Yuan looked around nervously. No single live soul or ghost existed in sight. He swallowed his own fear, as if to swallow down a pill of courage.
luó yuán jĭnzhāng de sìxià zhāngwàng。 bié shuō rén yĭng， lián gè guĭ yĭng dōu méiyŏu! tā yàn le kŏu tuòmo， xiàng shì zài pīnmìng tūn xià yī kē zhuàng dăn yào。
“不会的，这里面藏不了活人。” 他正想着，铃声又响了。	“No, it’s not possible to hide any live person here. ” While he was thinking about it, the ring tone came again.
” bùhuì de， zhèlĭ miàn cáng bùliăo huórén。” tā zhèng xiăng zhe， língshēng yòu xiăng le。
这一次，罗元冷静地竖起了耳朵。他闭上眼，感应着声音来的方向。	This time, Luo Yuan perched up his ears calmly. He closed his eyes and searched for the source of the sound.
zhè yīcì， luó yuán lěngjìng de shùqĭ le ěrduo。 tā bìshang yăn， gănyìng zhe shēngyīn lái de fāngxiàng。
“是下面，地上。一定是有人把手机掉这儿了?” 罗元略微松了口气，蹲在声音发出的地方，用手胡乱地扒了扒沙子。这部分土比较湿，声音就是土里发出的。	“It comes from the ground down there. Someone must have left his/her cell phone here?” Luo Yuan felt a bit relief. He then squatted down and started to dig the sand. The sand was wet and the sound did come from under.
” shì xiàmian， dìshang。 yīdìng shì yŏurén bă shŏujī diào zhèr le?” luó yuán lüèwēi sōng le kŏuqì， dūn zài shēngyīn fāchū de dìfang， yòng shŏu húluàn de bā le bā shāzi。 zhè bùfen tŭ bĭjiào shī， shēngyīn jiùshì tŭ lĭ fāchū de。
他随手捡了根棍子, 一边用棍子扒, 一边琢磨: 这手机丢了有一段时间了吧，都被土埋上了。。。咦? 这好像有东西，还用布袋装着。。。咦? 不是布袋，是。。。是人的手臂!!!	He picked up a stick and continued to dig. He thought to himself while digging, the cell phone must have been lost for quite a while to be buried down there… Eh? Something is there, packed up in a fabric bag… No, it’s not a bag, it’s… it’s a human’s arm!!!

罗元受了一惊，身子本能地向后弹起，没站稳，又一屁股坐到了地上。	Luo Yuan was startled and threw himself back by instinct. He lost his balance and fell down to the ground.

刘明天的手机急促地响了起来。他和赵凯峰刚刚踏进一家面馆，准备把晚饭对付了。	Liu’s cell phone rang in a hurry. As soon as Liu Mingtian and Zhao Kaifeng stepped into the Noodle Diner for dinner.
Liú míngtiān de shŏujī jícù de xiăng le qilai。 tā hé zhào kăi fēng gānggang tàjìn yījiā miàn guăn， zhŭnbèi bă wănfàn duìfu le。
刘明天接完电话后, 精神一振， ”罗元来的，他在水库发现了尸体。”	The Phone call boost his spirit, “It’s from Luo Yuan, he found bodies in the reservoir. ”
Liú míngtiān jiē wán diànhuà hòu, jīngshén yī zhèn， ” luó yuánlái de， tā zài shuĭkù fāxiàn le shītĭ。”
齐友发和崔雁是面对面被埋在沙堆里的。死亡原因都是致命枪伤。罗元听到的手机声来自崔雁还挎在身上的手袋。	Qi Youfa and Cui Yan were buried in the sand face to face. Cause of Death was lethal gun wound. The ring tone that Luo Yuan heard came from Cui Yan’s hand bag.

打电话的是一个才从外省来本市的年轻人, 是崔雁的老乡, 还不知道崔雁已经出事。	The person that called was a young man who came from another province. He didn’t know the terrible misfortune that Cui Yan had.

“两人身上所带的钱包, 只是现金遗失, 但证件都在。尸体完整, 没有故意掩盖受害者身份的企图, 不象是熟人做案。	“Other than the cash was missing, all other ID cards in their wallets were intact. Their bodies were not intentionally disformed, which means the killer didn’t intend to cover their identities. Therefore the killer is not likely to be the victims’ acquaintance.
“ liăng rén shēnshang suŏ dài de qiánbāo, zhĭshì xiànjīn yíshī, dàn zhèngjiàn dōu zài。 shītĭ wánzhěng, méiyŏu gùyì yăngài shòuhàizhě shēnfèn de qĭtú, bù xiàng shì shúrén zuò àn。
“这是刘明天和赵凯峰对现场的初步看法。 ”看来, 齐友发和崔雁, 是在错误的时机, 选择了一个错误的地点幽会。”	” That was the first conclusion that Liu and Zhao made after the crime scene investigation. “It looks that Qi and Cui picked the wrong place and wrong time to date.”
“ zhè shì Liú míngtiān hé zhào kăi fēng duì xiànchăng de chūbù kànfă。 ” kànlai, qí yŏu fā hé cuī yàn, shì zài cuòwù de shíjī, xuănzé le yī gè cuòwù de dìdiăn yōuhuì。”
这时天已渐黑, 聚集的警察, 法医, 和现场技术人员, 打破了水库里让人窒息的寂静。罗元弓着背, 颓丧地坐在一处稍远的石凳上.	At that time, it was getting dark. The gang of police, forensic technicians and crime scene investigators broke the pure tranquility of the reservoir. Luo Yuan sit on a stone stool a bit further from the crime scene with his back hunched.
zhèshí tiān yĭ jiàn hēi, jùjí de jĭngchá, făyī, hé xiànchăng jìshùrényuán, dăpò le shuĭkù lĭ ràng rén zhìxī de jìjìng。 luó yuán gōng zhe bèi, tuísàng de zuò zài yī chŭ shāo yuăn de shí dèng shàng.
“行, 我跟你们走一趟。你们一定要相信我, 我没杀人, 跟这事儿一点边都不沾。我承认, 门是我开的, 可我真没看见是谁干的。”	“Fine, I’ll go with you. But you have to believe me that I have nothing to do with this. I admit that it was me who opened the door, but I don’t know who did it.”
“ xíng, wŏ gēn nĭmen zŏu yī tàng。 nĭmen yīdìngyào xiāngxìn wŏ, wŏ méi shārén, gēn zhè shìr yīdiăn biān dōu bù zhān。 wŏ chéngrèn, mén shì wŏ kāi de, kě wŏ zhēn méi kànjiàn shì shéi gàn de。”
罗元对刘明天说这话的时候，显然已经没有了早些时候那次谈话时的淡定。	Obviously Luo Yuan had lost his calmness while he did the above confession.

稍晚，在询问室里。	Later, in the interrogation room.
shāo wăn， zài xúnwèn shì lĭ。
罗元回忆， ”那天下午快下班的时候，大概四点多的时候，我接了我朋友的一个电话。	Luo Yuan thought, “About four o’clock that day, just before I wrapped up my work, I received a phone call.
luó yuán huíyì， ” nàtiān xiàwŭ kuài xiàbān de shíhou， dàgài sì diăn duō de shíhou， wŏ jiē le wŏ péngyou de yī gè diànhuà。
他说晚些时候会开车经过水库，让我把上次跟他借的东西放在我的办公室，他想顺便把它带回去。”	He said he would drive by the reservoir later that day. He asked me to left the thing that I borrowed from him in my office, so he could pick it up when he came.”

“什么东西?”刘明天问。	“What is the thing?” Liu Mingtian asked.

“一个修车用的工具箱。”	“A box of tools for car maintenance.”
” yī gè xiūchē yòng de gōngjùxiāng。”
“请继续说。。。”	“Continue please…”
” qĭng jìxù shuō。。。”
“他说他要开车进来取，让我不要锁大门。我照做了，只锁了小门, 大门虚着，	“He said that he would drive into the reservoir, and ask me to leave the gate unlocked. I did what he asked. I locked the small door but left the gate unlocked.
” tā shuō tā yào kāichē jìnlái qŭ， ràng wŏ bùyào suŏ dàmén。 wŏ zhào zuò le， zhĭ suŏ le xiăo mén, dàmén xū zhe，
然后我就下班回家了。第二天一上班，工具箱已经不见了，我就知道他肯定来过了。”	Then I left. The next day, I noticed the tool box was gone. So I know he had been there. ”

“今天白天问你的时候你怎么没说实话?”	“Why didn’t you tell us the truth earlier today?”
” jīntiān báitiān wèn nĭ de shíhou nĭ zěnme méi shuōshíhuà?”
“我害怕。。。老闻找我的茬儿。水库两星期前丢了一批装修材料。闻主任认为是因为我下班忘锁门，把小偷放进来了。	“I was afraid Lao Wen would have scolded me. Some renovation material was lost two weeks ago. Lao Wen thought that my negligence on gate keeping had invited the thieves.

听完刘明天的问题，罗元懊悔地叹了口气， ”其实啊，我这朋友长的，和你们今天给我看的画像中的一个人很像。	To react to Liu Mingtian’s question, Luo Yuan sighed in regret, “As a matter of fact, this friend of mine looks rather similar to the portrait you showed me.

说句心里话，我真不信他会干抢劫杀人的事。他对家人和朋友其实都挺不错的。。。所以你们第一次让我看画像的时候，我压根就没往他身上想。”	Honestly, I can’t believe he could in any ways be a robber and killer. He’s very kind to his family and friends …… therefore I hadn’t doubted of him when you first showed me the portrait.”

刘明天回忆了一下罗元白天看到画像时的反应。他判断罗元当时就看出画像和真人十分相似，但基于某种原因，他当时选择了隐瞒。	Liu Mingtian re-played in his memories the reaction that Luo Yuan had when he first looked at the portrait earlier that day. He then decided that Luo Yuan already recognized his friend from the portrait back then. But he chose to conceal the truth due to unknown reasons.

第二天中午, 当赵凯峰和刘明天风风火火赶回局里的时候, 正好碰上防暴队的柯勇和李维, 他们是来刑侦这边拉人搞活动的。	In the afternoon next day, when Zhao and Liu came back to their office in a rush, they met Ke Yong and Li Wei. They worked in Anti-riot police department and came to find some detective staff to join their event.

穿着一身警服的柯勇拍了拍赵凯峰的肩头， ”小赵，我们那边正在广场搞活动，来了很多市民。头儿已经问了，怎么没有刑侦的人参加? 你反正也是新来的，老刘他们缺你一个不打紧。”	Dressed in his uniform, Ke Yong pat Zhao Kaifeng on his shoulder and said, “Zhao, we’re hosting an event at the square. Lots of residents came. My boss already asked why there were no staff from detective department joined us? You’re a new guy here, Liu Sir won’t feel short of people without you I think.”

李维也在一旁说服刘明天。刘明天苦笑了一下， ”去吧，小赵，这种活动我们刑侦老不参加也不好。你就做我们的代表吧。如果有什么紧急情况, 我会打你手机。”	Li Wei helped persuade Liu as well. Liu gave them a grin, “Go, Zhao, it doesn’t look good if none of us participates in that event. You can represent us there. In case of any emergency, I’ll call your cell.”

lùshang， kē yŏng gěi sān gèrén dōu măi le héfàn。 sān gèrén xùnsù chīwánfàn， jiù jìxù cháo guăngchăng kāi qù。
“听说，你们昨天在水库那边找到捷达车主的尸体了?” 开车的柯勇问坐在旁边的赵凯峰。	“I heard that you guys found the body of the Jetta owner in the reservoir yesterday?” Ke Yong asked Zhao Kaifeng while driving.
” tīngshuō， nĭmen zuótiān zài shuĭkù nàbian zhăodào Jiédá chēzhŭ de shītĭ le?” kāichē de kē yŏng wèn zuò zài pángbiān de zhào kăi fēng。
赵凯峰看了柯勇一眼。柯勇人很精神，平头, 浓眉, 大他五六岁的样子，在防暴队已经是老队员了。	Zhao Kaifeng cast a glimpse at Ke Yong. Ke Yong looked handsome with a crew cut and dense eyebrow. He looked five or six years older than Zhao Kaifeng and was a senior in Anti-riot department already.

他和赵凯峰是同乡。赵凯峰刚进刑侦大队的时候他还请他吃过饭。	He came from the same hometown as Zhao. Zhao even invited him for lunch when he first entered Detective department.
tā hé zhào kăi fēng shì tóngxiāng。 zhào kăi fēng gāng jìn xíngzhēn dàduì de shíhou tā hái qĭng tā chī guò fàn。
他们有一阵子没在一起聊了，今天出来搞活动，赵凯峰正好可以跟他聊聊。 ”是啊，还是秦老师有本事啊，从一颗螺狮就断定水库可能是抛尸地点。”	They haven’t chat with each other for quite a while. It was a good opportunity to chat anyways while going to the event, Zhao thought to himself. “Yes, we should give credit to Lao Qin. He is really good. Just by inspecting a tiny snail, he figured out that the body could have been hid away at the reservoir.”

“老秦可是我们这儿出了名的福尔摩斯, 你跟他应该能学到不少东西。既然尸体找到了, 那有嫌犯的线索了吗?” 柯勇继续聊着。	“Lao Qin is widely renowned as the Sherlock Holmes here. You should have learned a lot working with him. Since you already found the bodies, have you discovered any new clues then?” Ke Yong went on.
” lăo Qín kěshì wŏmen zhèr chū le míng de Fú’ěrmósī, nĭ gēn tā yīnggāi néng xué dào bùshăo dōngxi。 jìrán shītĭ zhăo dàoliăo, nà yŏu xiánfàn de xiànsuŏ le ma?” kē yŏng jìxù liáo zhe。
赵凯峰犹豫了一下。按规定, 正在调查的刑事案件案情是不该随便泄露的。不过柯勇和李维都是一个单位的弟兄, 谈案情也算内部讨论吧.	Zhao Kaifeng hesitated. His work ethic warned him not to reveal any more info on the criminal investigation. However, Ke Yong and Li Wei were both colleagues in the same system. It should had been deemed as internal discussion he thought.

“一号嫌犯已基本确定了, 可惜晚了一步…” 赵凯峰懊恼地回答.	“Suspect One has been confirmed. But it’s a pity that we were a bit late …” Zhao Kaifeng answered with regret.
“ yīhào xiánfàn yĭ jīběn quèdìng le, kěxī wăn le yī bù…” zhào kăi fēng àonăo de huídá.

“怎么讲?”	“Why?”
“ zěnme jiăng?”
“他已经跑了。没人知道他去了哪儿。“	“He has escaped. No one knows where he had gone to.”
“ tā yĭjīng păo le。 méi rén zhīdào tā qù le năr。“
“我说啊, 这已经是大突破了, 至少你们可以把画像换成照片来通缉了吧?” 坐在后座的李维也加入了他们的谈话。	“In my opinion, you’ve made major breakthrough. At least you can swap photo with picture for the most wanted?” Li Wei, who was sitting in the rear seat joined their conversation.

“那当然。”赵凯峰回答。 ”而且, 从他的关系网摸下去, 二号嫌犯也应该能查出来。” 赵凯峰其实更想坐在刘明天的车上, 他可不想错过查出二号嫌犯的精彩时刻。	“That’s for sure.” Zhao Kaifeng answered. “Moreover, the second suspect should be identified soon as well once we sort out the social network of the first one.” Honestly, Zhao Kaifeng did prefer to be sitting on Liu Mingtian’s car, he didn’t want to miss the moment that the second suspect were identified.

两声刺耳的车喇叭声打断了他们的谈话。原来, 他们已经到了搞活动的广场。柯勇正用车喇叭声和同事打招呼呢。	Suddenly, their conversation was interrupted by harsh honking sound. They’ve just arrived at the square. Ke Yong was honking to other colleagues as a greeting.

一清早在佳佳上学的校门口, 两个警察把文素云拦了下来。他们接下来和文素云谈的话, 让她半天回不过神来。	It was early in the morning when Wen Suyun encountered two policemen at the gate of Jia Jia’s school. The things they told Wen Suyun there after made her rather confused.

“同志, 你们一定搞错了。立群是个懂事的孩子, 他根本不可能去干什么抢劫杀人的事。我的孩子我最清楚。”	“Sir, you must have made mistakes. Liqun is a good kid, it’s not even possible that he could have been involved in robbery and killing. I know my own kid.”

然而, 她的话并没有得到足够的重视。警察不动声色地继续他们的问题。	However, her comment didn’t attract enough attention. The police still went on with their questions calmly.

“我怎么知道他现在在哪儿? 他该在哪儿, 还在哪儿啊。你们去他上班的地方找过吗? 他住的地方呢?”	“How could I know where he is now? He should be where he should be. Have you visited his work place? Also the place he lives?”
“ wŏ zěnme zhīdào tā xiànzài zàinăr? tā gāi zàinăr, hái zàinăr ā。 nĭmen qù tā shàngbān de dìfang zhăo guò ma? tā zhù de dìfang ne?”
“他刚把租的房子退掉, 也辞了职。没人知道他去哪儿了。你是他母亲, 他跟你讲过要离开的打算吗?” 警察仍然心平气和地提问, 可文素云的心里却象烧起了一把火.	“He just signed out from his renting lease and quit his job. Nobody knows where he has gone to. You are his Mom. Did he tell you about his plan to leave?” The police asked kindly. However, the question lit up fire in Wen’s heart.
“ tā gāng bă zū de fángzi tuì diào, yě cí le zhí。 méi rén zhīdào tā qù năr le。 nĭ shì tā mŭqīn, tā gēn nĭ jiăng guò yào líkāi de dăsuàn ma?” jĭngchá réngrán xīnpíngqìhé de tíwèn, kě wén sù yún de xīn lĭ què xiàng shāo qĭ le yī bă huŏ.
“这不可能! 我儿子这个周末才来我这儿吃过饭呢，怎么可能说走就走呢?”	“That’s not possible! My son just had dinner at my home this past weekend. How could he leave just like that?”
” zhè bùkěnéng! wŏ érzi zhège zhōumò cái lái wŏ zhèr chī guò fàn ne， zěnme kěnéng shuō zŏu jiù zŏu ne?”
文素云的近乎叫喊的反问并没有引起两个警察的反感，正相反，她在他们的眼中, 似乎觉察到了同情的成分。这种同情让她心生恐惧。难道，立群是真的出事了?	Wen’s almost-yelling pitch didn’t bring any disturbance at all to the police. On the contrary, she sensed sympathy in their eyes. That brought her even more fear. Could that be true that Liqun did commit to something illegal?

“我难说过段时间要去外地，来不了你们这儿。”	“It is possible that I’ll be out somewhere soon, can’t visit you for a sometime.”
” wŏ nán shuō guò duàn shíjiān yào qù wàidì， lái bùliăo nĭmen zhèr。
儿子的这句话突然地回现在文素云的脑海。难道。。。文素云不敢再往下想。离婚后心里一直藏着的对儿子的欠疚,	That words of her son suddenly struck her mind. Could it be true that … Wen Suyun dared not to continue the thoughts. The guilt for her son that she had been hiding in her mind after the divorce started to boil now.
” érzi de zhè jù huà tūrán de huíxiànzài wén sù yún de năohăi。 nándào 。。。 wén sù yún bù găn zài wăng xià xiăng。 líhūn hòu xīnli yīzhí cáng zhe de duì érzi de qiàn jiù,
此时这种欠疚一股脑翻腾起来。不管儿子做了什么，她都要尽全力帮他。	No matter what her son had done, she was determined to help him regardless.

她也一直相信，立群不是一个坏孩子。他虽然有过十分激烈的叛逆期，但那早已过去了。抢劫杀人?!这绝对不可能!	She had belief in that her son was not a bad boy. He had had tough teenager time, but that was long gone. Robbery and murder?! That was beyond imagination!

那一整天，文素云都处于一种魂不守舍的状态，直到晚上一个电话打进来的时候。。。	That whole day, Wen Suyun’s mind was somewhere else until she received a phone call in the evening …

“妈，是我。”	“Mom, it’s me.”
” mā， shì wŏ。”
“呀，是立群吗?你总算打来电话了! 你这是去哪儿了呀? 今天两个警察来找我，问你的情况呢!”	“Is it you Liqun? You finally call back! Where have you been? There were two policemen approached me today for you!”

“妈，我很好，你不用惦记，我想出来做点生意。我还急着赶路，不跟你多说了。你一定保重!”	“Mom, I’m fine, don’t worry. I want to come out and do some business. I’m in a hurry, can’t chat for long. You take care!”

“唉等等，立群，别挂!”	“No wait, Liqun, don’t hang up yet!”
” āi děngděng， lì qún， bié guà!”
电话就这样匆匆挂断了。文素云失神地放下话筒。听到儿子报平安，她有了些许欣慰，但这种欣慰很快就被更重的愁云所取代。	That was the end of the call. Wen Suyun put down the phone in a heavy mood. She was a bit comforted upon hearing his son’s voice. However, that ease of mind was replaced by more worries soon.

佳佳坐在对面的沙发上玩着芭比娃娃，老钟则坐在电视机前专注地看着体育新闻。文素云蹒跚地走到老钟身边，用遥控棒把电视关了.	Jiajia was sitting on the sofa on the other side playing with her Barbies. Lao Zhong was watching Sports News attentively on TV. Wen Suyun staggered over to Lao Zhong and use the remote controller to turn off the TV.

他说他要工作，要独立生活，对上学毫无兴趣。无奈，老钟帮他找了一个车辆维修的培训班。	He said he wanted to work and live independently instead of studying at school. With no other choice, Lao Zhong helped him to find a training school for car maintenance.

“你到现在还不明白吗? 这个社会没有绝对的好与坏, 它所遵循的只是一个简单的法则.” 朋友对他耐心开导.	“You still don’t understand? There’s no absolute right or wrong in this world. All that truly exists is just a simple law.” His friend nudged on him patiently.

“什么法则?”	“What law?”
“ shénme făzé?”
“森林法则. “	“The Law of the Jungle.”
“ sēnlín făzé. “
他一脸迷惑.	He looked bewildered.
tā yī liăn míhuo.
“兄弟, 不爱读书吧? 森林法则简单讲, 就是大鱼吃小鱼, 小鱼吃虾米.	“My brother, you’re not fond of reading, are you? Simply put, Law of the Jungle means the big fish feeds on the smaller fish, the smaller fish feeds on little shrimp.
“ xiōngdì, bù ài dúshū ba? sēnlín făzé jiăndān jiăng, jiùshì dà yú chī xiăo yú, xiăo yú chī xiāmĭ.
谁强谁就得天下. 朝廷是这样, 民间是这样, 江湖更是这样.”	It’s another word for ‘survival of the strongest’. It applies to the rulers, the civilians and even more to the underworld.”

“如果是这样, 你为什么还做你现在的工作?” 庄立群反问到.	“If that’s so, why you’re still doing your current job?”
“ rúguŏ shì zhèyàng, nĭ wèishénme hái zuò nĭ xiànzài de gōngzuò?” zhuāng lì qún fănwèn dào.

那之后, 庄立群咬着牙杀了第一个人. 他们的行动布置得很周密. 案子至今未破.	Thereafter, Zhuang committed his first murder. The mission was very well planned and the case has since not been resolved.

他逐渐意识到, 他需要一个更强大的梦想来给予他继续这种生活的动力.	With time went by, he started to realize that he needed a bigger dream to motivate himself to live on in that way.

他想辞去自己这份普通的工作. 但他的朋友对他说, “急什么, 等我们做完这笔大生意, 你再辞职也不迟. “	He wanted to quit his simple job. However, his friend said to him, ”Why now? Wait till we complete THE “big deal”. You still have time.”

“ zhè bĭ dà shēngyì” hé yĭwăng de xiăo dān shēngyì bùyīyàng.
他的朋友没有告诉他到底是什么样的生意, 但却总是锁着眉头冥思苦想. 基于他对朋友的了解, 他知道他心里一定装着一个煞费苦心的计划.	His friend kept his lips closed but always got his minds occupied. Knowing his friend so well, Zhang Liqun’s could guess it out that a carefully calculated plan was forming in his friend’s mind.

庄立群想了一想, 问他的朋友道, ”’内线’足够可靠吗?”	Zhuang Liqun gave thought about it for a second, “Do you think the “internal connection” is reliable enough?”
zhuāng lì qún xiăng le yī xiăng, wèn tā de péngyou dào, ”’ nèi xiàn’ zúgòu kěkào ma?”
那人拿起桌上的空烟盒说, ”他提供的信息绝对可靠. 毕竟, 他有私人恩怨要我们帮忙. 不过完事后, 这人必定会成为后患.”	The man pick up an empty cigarette pack from the table, “The information he provided is sure enough reliable. After all, he needs us to help him solve his own “troubles”. However, he is surely to become a hidden jeopardy once we closed the ‘deal’.”

“那怎么办?”	“Then what we should do?”
“ nà zěnmebàn?”
那人并没有立即回答, 而是将那个空烟盒举到庄立群的面前, 然后一把将它捏成废纸, 并用一种冷酷的目光灼着他. “那就连他一起解决. 一干二净.”	The man didn’t answer right away. Instead, he raised the empty pack to Zhuang Liqun. At the blink of an eye, he crumbled it into a tiny ball. He then coldly stared at Zhuang Liqun. “Then we finish him as well, neatly.”

庄立群突觉嗓子发干, 浑身泛起一种异样的感觉.	With a dried throat, Zhuang Liqun suddenly had a weird feeling.

好象坐在那儿的不是自己的, 而是别人的躯壳. 他伸展了一下发硬的背脊, 努力辨别着那种异样到底是什么.	He didn’t feel like himself again. He stretched his stiff back and tried hard to figure out what exact feeling that was.

“想做大事, 就要学会习惯各种令自己不舒服的感觉. “ 这是朋友经常挂在嘴边的一句话.	“If you want to make big difference, you have to get used to the discomforts that you feel from time to time.” This was something that his friend used to say.
“xiăng zuò dàshì, jiùyào xuéhuì xíguàn gèzhŏng lìng zìjĭ bùshūfu de gănjué. “ zhè shì péngyou jīngcháng guàzàizuĭbiān de yījùhuà.
“这是不是也包括对自己的厌恶感?” 庄立群疑惑地想.	“Do they include the disgust you feel toward yourself?” Thought Zhuang Liqun confoundedly.
“ zhè shìbùshì yě bāokuò duì zìjĭ de yànwù găn?” zhuāng lì qún yíhuò de xiăng.
然而, 他并没有太多的时间去思考这个问题. “大生意”的时机说来就来. 他突然忙得顾不得想别的事情.	However, he didn’t have enough time to think further on that. “The major business” came sooner than they expected. He suddenly had no time to think about anything else.

行动计划得很紧密, 容不得他有一点分心. 他知道, 其实, 他只有机会做一次决定, 做, 还是不做.	The plan was tightly knitted. It didn’t have any margin for distraction. He knew, as a matter of fact, he only had one chance to make a decision. To do, or not to do.

一旦做出了决定, 它的意义就不再重要了. 因为生意的成败, 与他生命的存亡已经分不开来.	As soon as a decision was made, nothing else mattered anymore since whether it succeeded meant whether he would survive.

这次之后, 他暗下决心再也不干了. 他要走得远远的, 销声匿迹, 然后再重新作人.	Thereafter, he made up his minds to run away forever. He planned to go somewhere far away, got disappeared, and then lived again.

看着镜中那个不像自己的自己, 他有了一种幻觉. 是不是以后都要做另一个人了呢? 或者, 现在的自己, 已经穿越到了另一个人的世界里?	Looking at the man in the mirror, he cringed at the possibility that he might have to live as somebody else since then. Or maybe, the self he was in, has crossed into another man’s world?

庄立群万万没有想到, 他打回家的那个简短电话, 竟是他犯下的一个致命的错误. 一直在苦苦寻找他的刑警们, 从这个电话记录入手, 很快查清了来电的位置.	Zhuang Liqun didn’t realize at all that the brief phone call he made to his family was a deadly mistake. The police, who were searching for him day and night, were able to trace him down from the record of that call.

电话虽然是在公用电话亭打的. 但地点离他藏身的地方并不远. 打完电话的第二天, 刘明天, 赵凯峰他们就连夜赶了过来.	Although he called from a public phone booth, it’s not far from where he’s hiding. The next day after he made the phone call, Liu Mingtian and Zhao Kaifeng arrived at the place together with their men.

调查是从电话亭的监控录像开始的. 尽管庄立群化了妆, 通过对比打电话的时间和监控画面上的时间, 锁定庄立群的影像并不困难.	Investigation then started from the security video near the phone booth. Although Zhuang Liqun was wearing a disguise, it’s not that hard to lock down his image by comparing the timestamps from both the video taps and the phone log.

从录像上看, 他离开电话亭后一路步行, 最后消失在街尾. 而街尾的尽头是一片低矮的出租屋.	According to the video, he walked along the street after the call toward the end of it. What existed beyond that was an area of low-rise renting properties.

小屋里唯一的窗子被拉上了窗帘. 屋外的亮和屋里的暗形成鲜明对比.	The only window in the small room was covered by curtains. The room felt even darker against the brightness outside.

百无聊赖, 又坐卧不安的庄立群靠在床上. 电视里放些什么他一点都看不进去. 即将过去的早晨是那样的漫长.	Leaning on his bed, Zhuang Liqun couldn’t find anything to do to cope with the boredom and anxiety. Whatever was on the TV didn’t attract his attention. The morning that was passing by was like an eternity.

这让他逐渐对这个狭小的空间失去了耐心. 可一旦想起到手的那比丰厚的”收入”, 他烦躁的心情又平静下来.	He realized that he was losing patience to that dingy place quickly. The only thing that could comfort him were the thoughts of the big “revenue” he made from the “deal”.

这只是暂时的, 他对自己说. 这之后, 他开始盘算中午的午饭, 是出去买还是吃方便面. 正犹豫着, 门响了.	“It’ll pass.” He told himself. Then he began to think about lunch, whether to pick up something outside, or to cook convenient noodle. While he was uncertain which one to choose, there was a knock on the door.

听起来是房东的声音，但庄立群希望他赶快走开，他已经交够四个月的房租，完全没有再跟房东打交道的必要。	The voice sounded like the landlord. However, Zhuang Liqun wished he could have left sooner. He already paid up to four months of rent. There’s no need to deal with the landlord again.

“小心有枪！”	“Be careful of the gun!”
“ xiăoxīn yŏu qiāng！”
话音刚落，庄立群的手腕就被人狠命一扭，完全没了力量，手一松，枪被人夺了去。	What followed the voice was a powerful twist of his wrist that forced him lose the grip of the gun. It was then snapped off his hand.

老曾隔着玻璃见到庄立群的时候，竟然摇了摇头。站在一旁的刘明天不解地问， “怎么？我们抓错人了？画像可是你画的啊！”	Looking at Zhuang Liqun through the window glass, Mr. Zeng shook his head. Liu Mingtian, who was standing beside Mr. Zeng and feeling a bit puzzled, asked him, “Why? You think we got the wrong guy? It was you who drew the portrait!”

虽然证人的印象是, 一号指挥二号. 但当时的情况是, 一号在她的视野里停留得比较长,	Although the witness got the impression that suspect one was the one in charge, not suspect two, it is possible that her judgment was skewed by spotting suspect one much longer that suspect two.

所以她可能会主观认为一号是主导。二号在整个行动中很会隐蔽自己, 反倒可能是真正的主谋。”	Suspect two, on the other hand, was very agile in protecting himself all through the crime. He was more likely to be the principle criminal.

审讯室里，庄立群僵硬地坐在木椅上。手和脚都带着铐子。他眼神迷茫，似乎还没看清这到底是现实还是噩梦。	Being handcuffed to his chair in the interrogation room, Zhuang Liqun wished all that had happened had just been a nightmare. He wished he could have woken up to a clean life. He made up his mind not to confess.

“路是自己选的，都这个时候了，就是把什么都供出来也是死路一条。” 庄立群听见了自己的心声。”	“It was myself who chose to go down this path. Even if I confessed everything now, it won’t change my fate of death penalty.” Zhuang Liqun heard his own inner voice.

“ pā！” duìmiàn zhuō hòu de pàng jĭngchá yībāzhăng pāi zài le zhuō shàng。
“我没时间听你编故事！你被人打劫？！是你打劫别人吧？抢了钱还不够，还要杀人灭口。”	“I have no time to listen to your lies! You were robbed?! Isn’t that you who robbed others? You even killed your victims to cover yourself up.”
“ wŏ méi shíjiān tīng nĭ biān gùshi！ nĭ bèi rén dăjié？！ shì nĭ dăjié biéren ba？ qiăng le qián hái bùgòu， hái yào shārén mièkŏu。”
“我不明白你在说什么？” 庄立群看了一眼胖警察，又心虚地垂下眼。	“I don’t understand what you’re talking about?” Zhuang Liqun cast a glance at the plump officer and then held his head down.
” wŏ bù míngbai nĭ zài shuō shénme？” zhuāng lì qún kàn le yīyăn pàng jĭngchá， yòu xīnxū de chuíxià yăn。
胖警察绕过桌子，凶巴巴地走了过来。庄立群暗中咬了咬牙，心想，不管他们怎么审，坚决不交代。	The officer turned around the table and stroked forward to Zhuang in a wicked manner. Zhuang Liqun clenched his teeth and thought to himself, no matter what I won’t let them to get confession out of me.

就在胖警察气势汹汹地站到庄立群面前的时候，门突然开了，一个中年男人不紧不慢地走了进来。胖警察看到来人立马换成了笑脸。 “刘队，这小子不好好交代还嘴硬。”	As soon as the plump officer stood in front of Zhuang Liqun intimidating, the door opened and a middle-aged man came in composedly. The plump officer smiled at him immediately. “Liu Sir, this guy doesn’t cooperate at all.”

”那你也不能用这种态度吧？” 中年男人的话充满力度。胖警察知道自己理亏，尴尬地站在一旁。中年人抬手示意他出去。	“What about your attitude?” Middle-aged man asked right back. The plump officer stood awkwardly knowing he was in the wrong. “Middle-age” signaled him to leave.
” nà nĭ yě bùnéng yòng zhèzhŏng tàidu ba？” zhōngnián nánrén dehuà chōngmăn lìdù。 pàng jĭngchá zhīdào zìjĭ lĭkuī， gāngà de zhàn zài yīpáng。 zhōngnián rén tái shŏu shìyì tā chūqù。
胖警察走后，坐在胖警察旁边做笔记的年轻警察好奇地看着中年人。只见中年人挪过一把椅子在庄立群旁边坐下。	After he left, the young police officer who was sitting beside him observed “middle-age”curiously. “Middle-age”moved a chair to Zhuang’s side and sat himself down.

“小孙，你给他倒杯水吧！”	“Sun, could you get him a glass of water please?”
“ xiăo sūn， nĭ gěi tā dăo bēi shuĭ ba！”
年轻人愣了一愣。狐疑地看了一眼中年人后起身倒水去了。	The young officer was a bit surprised. Then he cast a doubtful glance at “middle-age” and went to get the water.

“你说抢劫杀人犯该怎样判比较合理？” 刘明天说话的语气就像在和嫌疑人商量事情。	“Tell me what is a reasonable sentence to give for robbery and murder?” Asked Liu Mingtian in a negotiation tone.
“ nĭ shuō qiăngjié shārénfàn gāi zěnyàng pàn bĭjiào hélĭ？” Liú míngtiān shuōhuà de yŭqì jiù xiàng zài hé xiányírén shāngliang shìqing。
“死刑呗！” 对方的声音不大，但语气很横，完全没有继续交谈下去的意愿。	“Death penalty!” The answer came in in a quiet voice but tough tone, with no interest in keeping the conversation going.
“ sĭxíng bei！” duìfāng de shēngyīn bùdà， dàn yŭqì hěn hèng， wánquán méiyŏu jìxù jiāotán xiàqù de yìyuàn。
刘明天顺着他的思路继续说， “如果真是死刑，你想过给你家人留下点什么吗？”	Liu Mingtian went along with the suspect’s thoughts, “If it is true. Have you thought about leaving anything to your family?”
Liú míngtiān shùnzhe tā de sīlù jìxù shuō， “ rúguŏ zhēnshi sĭxíng， nĭ xiăng guò gěi nĭ jiārén liúxià diăn shénme ma？”
对方沉默了两秒钟，然后突然抬高声音， “你跟我说这些干嘛？我什么也没做，你们凭什么抓我？”	Zhuang Liqun kept silent for two seconds and then suddenly raised his voice, “What are you talking about? I didn’t do anything. How could you arrest me just like that?”

“凭证据。”刘明天说着，从口袋里拿出一个小本，翻开来，逐条把已掌握的证据念给对方听。	“We have proofs.” Liu Mingtian told him. Then he fished out a small notebook from his pocket and opened it. He then read out all the evidence items to the suspect.
“ píng zhèng-jù。” Liú míngtiān shuō zhe， cóng kŏudài lĭ náchū yī gè xiăoběn， fānkāi lái， zhú tiáo bă yĭ zhăngwò de zhèngjù niàn gěi duìfāng tīng。
他念的最后两条是：	The last two he read were:

嫌疑人在齐友发和崔燕被害那天开车进入过水库，即抛尸地点，人证和物证充分。	The suspect entered the reservoir, where Qi Youfa and Cui Yan were buried, on the day of murder. There are witness testimony and material evidence to support it.

被害人身体里取出的子弹经技术鉴定，与嫌疑人所持枪支相符。	The bullet that was taken out from the victim was tested to match the gun that the suspect carried.

念完，他轻轻关上笔记本，放回口袋。抬眼直视庄立群。	When he finished reading, he closed his notebook and put it back inside his pocket. He then looked straight at Zhuang Liqun.

庄立群和中年人对视了二十秒功夫，突然垂下眼，懊恼而丧气地呼出一口气。	Zhuang Liqun looked back at him for about twenty seconds before he stopped and sighed disheartened.

“既然你们都调查清楚了，还问我干嘛？”	“If you’ve got everything you need, why you need to talk to me?”
“ jìrán nĭmen dōu diàochá qīngchu le， hái wèn wŏ gànmá？”

中年人看着年轻人轻轻摇了摇头。 ”年轻人，你给我的印象并不差。你虽然犯下重罪，但良心还是有的。	“Middle-age” looked at the young suspect and shook his head. “Young man, the impression you gave me is not bad. Although you committed serious crime, you still have conscience.

我相信这宗劫案并不是你策划的，我猜你只是个帮凶，并不是主谋。	I believe you were not the mastermind behind this robbery. I guess you were only an accomplice, not the boss.

你现在有两种选择，要不把实情说了，帮我们抓到主谋, 也算做一件对得起良心的事。	Now you got two options: Either to tell the truth and help us find your boss, which is the right thing to do from good conscience;

要不继续否认。不管你怎么否认，只要证据确凿，我们照样可以给你定罪。	Or, you can deny as you want. No matter how hard you try to deny, as long as we have proven evidence, we are able to give you the sentence you deserve.

到时候，主谋可要开心了，有你为他顶罪，他落得逍遥自在，还可以继续祸害他人。	By that time, your boss will be happy to have you serve the time for him. He could go on to harm others.

而你的家人呢？你母亲，你妹妹，她们将面对的现实有多残酷你想过没有？”	Then what about your family? Your mother and sister? How cruel the reality would be for them to face? Have you ever given a thought about that?”
ér nĭ de jiārén ne？ nĭ mŭqīn， nĭ mèimei， tāmen jiāng miànduì de xiànshí yŏu duō cánkù nĭ xiăng guò méiyŏu？”

提到妈妈和妹妹，庄立群心里紧了一紧。从被抓那一刻，他就努力不去想她们。	With his mother and sister mentioned, Zhuang Liqun’s mind got agitated. He tried to not to think about them since the moment he was captured.

他祈祷最好他们也把他忘却。反正, 他们所熟悉的那个可以信赖的儿子和哥哥早已变了，变得自己都快认不出来了。	He prayed that it’s better they forgot about him forever. After all, the son and brother they were familiar with had changed. He had changed into a person he himself could barely recognize.

“这个人是你用枪射杀的吧？”	“Is this the victim that shot by you?”
“ zhège rén shì nĭ yòng qiāng shèshā de ba？”
一张被害人胸部中弹，脸色死灰的照片呈现在庄立群的眼前。	A photo of the victim with a face grimly pale and gun shot wounds on the chest appeared in front of Zhuang Liqun.
yī zhāng bèihàirén xiōngbù zhòngdàn， liănsè sĭ huī de zhàopiàn chéng xiànzài zhuāng lì qún de yănqián。
白衬衣上已凝固成暗红色的大片血迹显得十分突兀。中年男死者睁着眼，令人颤栗的目光穿过相纸，直刺庄立群的面庞。	The big blotch of dark red dried bloodstains stood out on his white shirt. The middle-aged male victim stared ghastly at Zhuang Liqun through the photo sheet.

庄立群“呀”了一声，身体本能地向后躲避。	Zhuang Liqun jumped his body backward with a startled cry.
zhuāng lì qún “ya” le yīshēng， shēntĭ běnnéng de xiànghòu duŏbì。
“他是死在你的枪下吧？知道吗？他死的时候女儿刚出生两天。如果这一切没有发生，他至少可以和女儿见上一面。”	“He died from your shooting, didn’t he? You know what, he just became a father to a new born daughter two days ago. If nothing happened, at least he could have seen her daughter once.”
“ tā shì sĭ zài nĭ de qiāng xià ba？ zhīdào ma？ tā sĭ de shíhou nǚ’ér gāng chūshēng liăng tiān。 rúguŏ zhè yīqiè méiyŏu fāshēng， tā zhìshăo kěyĭ hé nǚ’ér jiàn shàng yīmiàn。”
庄立群把目光移向地板，一身冷汗。 ”求求你, 别让我看照片！”他心想。	In cold sweat, Zhuang Liqun moved away his eyes to the floor. ”Please, don’t show me the photo again!” He begged in mind.
zhuāng lì qún bă mùguāng yí xiàng dìbăn， yīshēn lěnghàn。 ” qiú qiú nĭ, bié ràng wŏ kàn zhàopiàn！” tā xīnxiăng。
刘明天观察着庄立群的表情变化，然后伸手把水杯送到他的面前。庄立群接过水杯，一仰头把水喝完。	Liu Mingtian observed the changing face of Zhuang Liqun and passed on the glass of water to him. Zhuang Liqun received the glass and drank all water in one gulp.
Liú míngtiān guānchá zhe zhuāng lì qún de biăoqíng biànhuà， ránhòu shēnshŏu bă shuĭ bēi sòng dào tā de miànqián。 zhuāng lì qún jiēguò shuĭ bēi， yīyăngtóu bă shuĭ hē wán。
“不知道你妹妹知道你做的事后会怎么想。” 刘明天小声说。	“I don’t know what will come to your sister’s mind once she knew what you did.” Liu Mingtian murmured.
“ bù zhīdào nĭ mèimei zhīdào nĭ zuò de shì hòu huì zěnme xiăng。” Liú míngtiān xiăoshēng shuō。
“不要告诉她。”庄立群低声恳求。	“Don’t tell her.” Zhuang Liqun pleaded in a low voice.
“ bùyào gàosu tā。” zhuāng lì qún dīshēng kěnqiú。
刘明天镇静地回视着他。 “我答应你。我会和你母亲商量如何回答你妹妹的问题。”	Liu Mingtian looked back at him calmly. “You have my promise. I will have a talk with your mother about that.”
Liú míngtiān zhènjìng de huíshì zhe tā。 “ wŏ dāying nĭ。 wŏ huì hé nĭ mŭqīn shāngliang rúhé huídá nĭ mèimei de wèntí。”
庄立群点头示谢。	Zhuang Liqun nodded lightly to say thank you.

“我承认我参与了抢劫杀人。” 说出这句话后他突然感觉到一阵轻松。	“OK，I admit that I was part of the robbery and murder.” He felt greatly relieved after that confession.
“ wŏ chéngrèn wŏ cānyù le qiăngjié shārén。” shuōchū zhè jù huà hòu tā tūrán gănjuédào yīzhèn qīngsōng。
“很好。告诉我，谁是策划人？”	“Very good. Who planned all this?”
“ hěn hăo。 gàosu wŏ， shéi shì cèhuàrén？”
“这个…我不能告诉你。”	“This … I can’t tell you.”
“ zhège… wŏ bùnéng gàosu nĭ。”
刘明天笑了一笑， “你觉得你很讲义气是不是？庄立群，我知道你不是策划人，那你告诉我，和你在131国道上持枪抢劫的那个同伙是不是策划人？”	Liu Mingtian smiled, “Do you think you’re doing the right thing being blindly loyal to your friends? Zhuang Liqun, I know you were not the one behind all this. Was it the one that robbed together with you on Highway 131?”
Liú míngtiān xiào le yī xiào， “ nĭ juéde nĭ hěn jiăngyìqì shìbùshì？ zhuāng lì qún， wŏ zhīdào nĭ bùshì cèhuàrén， nà nĭ gàosu wŏ， hé nĭ zài 131 guódào shàng chíqiāng qiănjié de nàge tónghuŏ shìbùshì cèhuàrén？”
庄立群沉默了半分钟之久, 然后回答,“是。”	Zhuang Liqun was silence for half a minute, and then he said, ”Yes.”
zhuāng lì qún chénmò le bàn fēnzhōng zhī jiŭ, ránhòu huídá,“ shì。”
“很好。那你知不知道, 他近期有没有别的什么计划?” 刘明天仍然用朋友聊天般的口气继续问庄立群。	“Very good. Then do you know whether he has any other plans lately?” Liu Mingtian asked in a chatty manner.
“ hěn hăo。 nà nĭ zhī bù zhīdào, tā jìnqī yŏu méiyŏu biéde shénme jìhuà?” Liú míngtiān réngrán yòng péngyou liáotiān bān de kŏuqì jìxù wèn zhuāng lì qún。
庄立群又一次沉默. 刘明天倒吸了口凉气, 心想, 如果他没有及时否认, 那就暗示策划人还有新的计划.	Zhuang Liqun became quiet again. Seeing the likelihood of another planned crime, Liu Mingtian felt a chill ran down his spine.

“是不是还会有人丢掉性命?” 刘明天尽量把语气放平和。	“Is anyone going to die?” Asked Liu Mingtian in a peaceful tone.
“ shìbùshì hái huì yŏurén diūdiào xìngmìng?” Liú míngtiān jĭnliàng bă yŭqì fàng pínghé。

庄立群坐立不安, 但还是不愿回答。	As fidgeting as he was, Zhuang Liqun didn’t answer.

“想想吧, 年轻人, 你现在说出来, 还可以挽救一些人的性命，拯救他们的家人。	“Think about it, young man. If you tell us now we might still have time to save people, in turn to save their family.
“ xiăng xiăng ba, niánqīngrén, nĭ xiànzài shuō chūlái, hái kěyĭ wănjiù yīxiē rén de xìngmìng， zhěngjiù tāmen de jiārén。

“人渣？！” 庄立群突然抬头逼视着中年人。 “你叫他人渣？！你以为你比他强？	“Scundrel?!” Zhuang Liqun suddenly raised his head and stared at “middle-age”. “You call him scoundrel?! You think you’re a better man?
“ rénzhā？！” zhuāng lì qún tūrán tái tóu bīshì zhe zhōngnián rén。 “ nĭ jiào tā rénzhā？！ nĭ yĭwéi nĭ bĭ tā qiáng？

激动的嫌疑人一把将水杯推开。水杯重重地砸在地上，摔了个粉身碎骨。	The agitated suspect pushed the water glass away. It fell onto the ground and broke into pieces.

这会儿该轮到刘明天纳闷了，他只觉心里一凉。 “二号嫌犯是我们自己的人？！”	Now it’s Liu Mingtian’s turn to become bewildered. He felt a sudden drop in his heart. “Suspect two is our guy?!”

刚才的发作让庄立群得到了情绪的释放。他双手抱头，又像一个受了委屈的孩子一样啜泣起来。	The angry outburst helped Zhuang Liqun to let go the pressure he had inside. He buried his head in his hands and sobbed like a child who was misunderstood by others.

“ nĭ de jĭngchá péngyou， wŏ zhēn wéi tā găndào xiūchĭ。 gàosu wŏ， tā shì shéi。”
啜泣声并没有停止。刘明天也不催促，只是在一旁耐心地等待。	The sobbing didn’t stop. Liu Mingtian didn’t urge. He waited patiently aside.

“刘队，我违反了纪律，对不起！我压根没想到会是他。” 赵凯峰一脸歉意。	“Liu Sir, I violated the rule, I’m sorry, I’ve never doubted about him. ” Zhao Kaifeng said apologizing.
“ Liú duì， wŏ wéifăn le jìlǜ， duìbuqĭ！ wŏ yàgēn méixiăngdào huì shì tā。” zhào kăi fēng yī liăn qiànyì。
“这次就算是个教训。记住这句话，在嫌疑人没有确定之前，任何人都有嫌疑。”	“It’s a lesson learned. Please remember, before the suspect is identified, anyone could be possible. ”
“ zhè cì jiù suànshì gè jiàoxun。 jìzhu zhè jù huà， zài xiányírén méiyŏu quèdìng zhīqián， rènhé rén dōu yŏu xiányí。”
刘明天话音刚落，那个记笔记的年轻刑警就风风火火地赶到刘明天面前。	Right at that moment, the young officer who’s keeping note of interview came up to Liu Mingtian.
Liú míngtiān huàyīn gāng luò， nàge jì bĭjì de niánqīng xíngjĭng jiù fēngfēnghuŏhuŏ de găndào Liú míngtiān miànqián。
“刘队，刚接到消息，有人看到柯勇出现在他老家“云山村”。”	“Liu Sir, we just received a message saying Ke Yong is seen in his hometown Yunshan Village.”
“ Liú duì， gāng jiēdào xiāoxi， yŏurén kàn dào kē yŏng chūxiàn zài tā lăojiā“ yún shāncūn”。”
刘明天听完迅速向赵凯峰做了个手势，两人就匆匆走出了房间。	Upon that message, Liu Mingtian gestured Zhao Kaifeng to hit the road with him immediately.
Liú míngtiān tīng wán xùnsù xiàng zhào kăi fēng zuò le gè shŏushì， liăng rén jiù cōngcōng zŏuchū le fángjiān。

“云山村”是个山清水秀的地方。然而此刻它却被荷枪实弹的武警所占据。他们围住一家农宅，一个拿喇叭的武警正向屋里喊话。	“Yunshan Village” was a place with enchanting scenery. However, it was occupied by armed police force that day. They surrounded one farm house. A police man was talking through a loud speaker.
“ yún shāncūn” shì gè shānqīngshuĭxiù de dìfang。 rán’ér cĭkè tā què bèi hèqiāngshídàn de wŭjĭng suŏ zhànjù。 tāmen wéizhù yījiā nóng zhái， yī gè ná lăba de wŭjĭng zhèng xiàng wū lĭ hăn huà。
农宅不算大，中等平房户形。一堵灰白色的围墙围住四五个房间和一个小院。作为警方攻坚的焦点，院子安静得让人不安。	The farm house was not very big. A grayish wall encompassed a yard and four or five rooms inside. Being the centre of the police attack, the yard looked uneasily quiet.

警方的喊话并没有得到屋里人的响应。围墙上朱红色的大门纹丝不动。	The police didn’t receive any response from inside the house. The red door of the house stayed shut.
jĭngfāng de hăn huà bìng méiyŏu dédào wū lĭ rén de xiăngyìng。 wéiqiáng shàng zhū hóngsè de dàmén wénsībùdòng。
据侦查得来的信息, 柯勇就在屋内。他在警方第一次进入时向外射击。警方被迫退出。但屋里是否还有别人, 并不清楚。	According to what they knew, Ke Yong was actually inside. He fired back when the policed tried to enter the house at first. Police was forced to back out. However, they were not sure whether there were other people inside.

僵持一段时间后，警方开始投掷催泪弹。围墙里顷刻烟雾弥漫。	After a short period of stalemate, police started to throw tear bomb into the farm house. Smoke spread out inside the walls immediately.
jiāngchí yī duàn shíjiān hòu， jĭngfāng kāishĭ tóuzhì cuīlèidàn。 wéiqiáng lĭ qĭngkè yānwù mímàn。
与次同时，有人迅速从前门进入，穿过院子，攻入离大门最近的厨房。据了解，农宅的所有房间从里面都是想通的。	Meanwhile, people broke in from the front door, ran across the yard and entered the kitchen, the room that was closest to the door.

在外围待命的人都紧张地观察着农宅。这里面也包括刘明天和赵凯峰。	People who were on stand-by watched the house anxiously. Liu Mingtian and Zhao Kaifeng were among them.

赵凯峰是盼望不要再有枪声的。他希望不要出人命。而刘明天则冷静地对他耳语了一句， “做好最坏的打算。”	Zhao Kaifeng had hoped to not hear any cross fire. He wished no more lives to be claimed again. Yet Liu Mingtian whispered to him, ”Prepare for the worst.”
zhào kăi fēng shì pànwàng bùyào zài yŏu qiāngshēng de。 tā xīwàng bùyào chūrénmìng。 ér Liú míngtiān zé lěngjìng de duì tā ěryŭ le yījù， “zuò hăo zuì huài de dăsuàn。”
他的话音刚落，农宅里突然枪声大作。声音刚一消停，更多的武警进入农宅支援。	Right after that, the gun fire stirred up violently inside the house. Before the next break of gun fire, more armed police forced their way in.
tā de huàyīn gāng luò， nóng zhái lĭ tūrán qiāngshēng dàzuò。 shēngyīn gāngyī xiāotíng， gèng duō de wŭjĭng jìnrù nóng zhái zhīyuán。

不一会儿，农宅的正门大开，刘明天在听到耳迈里的指示后对赵凯峰摆摆头， “走吧，到我们了。你得有点心理准备。”	Not long after, the front door of the farm house was wide open. Liu Mingtian gestured to Zhao Kaifeng to go in upon hearing the order from his earphone. “Let’s go. It’s our turn now. Stay cool.”

赵凯峰会意地点点头，胃里一阵发紧。	Zhao Kaifeng nodded in understanding. He felt the stress in his stomach.
zhào kăi fēng huìyì de diăndiăntóu， wèi lĭ yīzhèn fā jĭn。
他俩进入农宅的时候，法医已在他们前一步赶到。大家关注的焦点是离厨房最远的一间卧房。	When the two of them entered the farm house, forensic investigators were ahead of them. People’s attention focused in one bedroom that was furthest from the kitchen.
tā liă jìnrù nóng zhái de shíhou， făyī yĭ zài tāmen qián yī bù găndào。 dàjiā guānzhù de jiāodiăn shì lí chúfáng zuìyuăn de yī jiān wòfáng。
透过因火药和催泪弹而变得污浊的空气，赵凯峰一眼认出了坐在墙角的柯勇。	Through the fuzzy air that smelled smoke and gunpowder, Zhao Kaifeng recognized the sitting figure at the corner to be Ke Yong.
tòuguò yīn huŏyào hé cuīlèidàn ér biànde wūzhuó de kōngqì， zhào kăi fēng yīyăn rènchū le zuò zài qiángjiăo de kē yŏng。
带着橡胶手套的法医正给他做检查。他半睁着眼睛，手里还握着一只手枪，已没有生命迹象。	Forensic investigators were checking on him with gloved hands. His eyes was semi-open. A handgun was still clutched in his palm. He was dead.

赵凯峰凝视着柯勇的脸，希望能在上面找到一些答案。	Zhao Kaifeng stared at Ke Yong’s face, hoping he could find some answers.
zhào kăi fēng níngshì zhe kē yŏng de liăn， xīwàng néng zài shàngmian zhăodào yīxiē dá’àn。
然而他找到的只有冷漠。在他的头的上方，贴着一张书法作品，上书，“出人头地”。	Yet all he could find was coldness. Right above Ke Yong’s face, a piece of calligrapher's work was hanging on the wall, on it it wrote: “Chu Ren Tou Di”.
rán’ér tā zhăodào de zhĭyŏu lěngmò。 zài tā de tóu de shàng fāng， tiē zhe yī zhāng shūfă zuòpĭn， shàngshū，“ chūréntóudì”。
这四个字也曾经伴随过赵凯峰成长。 “出人头地”，在他年轻的生命中，这四个字也曾经激励过他。	Those four characters had been too familiar to him while he grew up. “Chu Ren Tou Di” – they had kept inspiring him through out his young life.
zhè sì gè zì yě céngjīng bànsuí guò zhào kăi fēng chéngzhăng。 “ chūréntóudì”， zài tā niánqīng de shēngmìng zhōng， zhè sì gè zì yě céngjīng jīlì guò tā。
不过今天，它们的形象却显得如此扭曲。他悲哀地揣度，某一年的某一天，当柯勇和他现在一样注视这四个字的时候，他的心里是否正盘算着一个杀人劫财的计划呢？	However today, the meaning of the phrase felt twisted. The thoughts came to him sadly that, on a certain day of a year, while Ke Yong was standing here looking at the motto like he was, a plan of murder and robbery was actually hatching in his mind.
bùguò jīntiān， tāmen de xíngxiàng què xiănde rúcĭ niŭqū。 tā bēi’āi de chuăiduó， mŏu yī nián de mŏu yī tiān， dāng kē yŏng hé tā xiànzài yīyàng zhùshì zhè sì gè zì de shíhou， tā de xīnli shìfŏu zhèng pánsuàn zhe yī gè shārén jié cái de jìhuà ne？

此次抢劫案劫得的赃款，大部分都在农宅里被寻获。	Most of the robbed money was found in the farm house.
cĭcì qiăngjié’àn jié-dé de zāngkuăn， dàbùfen dōu zài nóng zhái lĭ bèi xún huò。
庄力群还没有等到分赃就被警方发现。而柯勇收买的“内线”, 也很快得到了确认。他逃过了柯勇的“灭口”, 却没有逃过法律的制裁。	Zhuang Liqun was captured before he got a chance to take his share of money. The “insider” that Ke Yong used was soon identified. He escaped murder from Ke Yong, but couldn’t escape the penalty from the law.

至于柯勇所卷入的黑恶势力，在劫案被侦破后的一年里，也遭到了警方的突击和清理。那个所谓的漂流俱乐部也被勒令关门整顿。	As for the vicious gangs that Ke Yong was involved in, they were battled by the police in the following year. That “rafting club” was ordered to tidy up with license suspended.
zhìyú kē yŏng suŏ juănrù de hēi èshìli， zài jié àn bèi zhēnpò hòu de yī nián lĭ， yě zāodào le jĭngfāng de tūjī hé qīnglĭ。 nàge suŏwèi de piāoliú jùlèbù yě bèi lèlìng guānmén zhěngdùn。

庄力群终审被判死刑。判决结果在人们意料之中。 “杀人偿命”，这是中国的古训，	Zhuang Liqun was sentenced to death in his trial. The result was expected by all. “Life for life” was a well accepted rule since ancient China,
zhuāng lì qún zhōngshěn bèi pàn sĭxíng。 pànjué jiéguŏ zài rénmen yìliàozhīzhōng。 “ shārén chángmìng”， zhè shì Zhōngguó de gŭ xùn，
也是一个最简单的司法逻辑。何况是这种有预谋的抢劫杀人，是没有理由可以开脱的。而庄力群自己也放弃上诉.	it’s also a simple judicial logic to all. Moreover, it’s hardly any excuse for such premeditated robbery and murder. Zhuang Liqun himself also gave up the right to appeal.

就在同事为破获大案要案而忙着庆功的时候，刘明天却独自开车离去。他径直去了看守所见庄力群。并给他带来了一封信。	When Liu Mingtian’s colleagues were celebrating their latest success in fighting the vicious underground gangs, he drove away alone. He was to meet Zhuang Liqun in the detention centre. He also brought a letter to him.

“你现在先别打开，等我走了慢慢看吧。昨天顺路看了你母亲，她现在状态不太好。不过她说, 你的事她和老钱会慢慢跟你妹妹说的。	“You can open it later after I left. I visited your Mom yesterday on my way home. She’s still trying hard to face it. However, she said that she and Lao Qian will tell your sister what happened to you little by little.
“ nĭ xiànzài xiān bié dăkāi， děng wŏ zŏu le mànmàn kàn ba。 zuótiān shùnlù kàn le nĭ mŭqīn， tā xiànzài zhuàngtài bùtàihăo。 bùguò tā shuō, nĭ de shì tā hé lăo qián huì mànmàn gēn nĭ mèimei shuō de。
她希望你心里负担不要太大。事情已经这样了, 多想无益, 这段时间保养好身体就行.”	She hoped that you don’t burden yourself too much. What happened happened, it won’t help to keep thinking about it. Please take care of yourself for this period of time.”

庄力群点点头，母亲嘱咐的“这段时间”，正是自己在人世的最后日子。什么梦想，憧憬，欲望，打算，现在统统没了。	Zhuang Liqun nodded. ”This period of time” his Mom mentioned, was actually his last days to live. Dreams, hope, desire and plans, they are all gone now.

他现在所惦记的，只是自己犯下的罪恶, 给亲人的阴影还会有多长。对于受害者的家属，在法庭最后陈述中，他由衷地向他们道歉，并深深鞠了一躬。	All that had been left to him to concern about, was how long his sin will shadow his loved ones. For the victim’s family, while giving his last statement on the court, he sincerely apologized to them and bowed to them in deep regret.

他说，“如果时间能够倒转，如果我还能有第二次选择，我真的希望什么都没有发生。为了过上有头有脸的生活，在他人的鼓动下，我一错再错，越陷越深，最终犯下不可饶恕的罪行。	He said, “If we can travel back in time, how much I wished that none of this had happened. In the pursuit of a successful life, with other folks’ bad influence, I went on the wrong path of life and was trapped in the wrong side of the world. Eventually I committed unforgivable crimes.
tā shuō，“ rúguŏ shíjiān nénggòu dàozhuăn， rúguŏ wŏ hái néng yŏu dì’èrcì xuănzé， wŏ zhēn de xīwàng shénme dōu méiyŏu fāshēng。 wéi le guò shàng yŏutóuyŏuliăn de shēnghuó， zài tārén de gŭdòng xià， wŏ yīcuòzàicuò， yuèxiànyuèshēn， zuìzhōng fàn xià bùkě ráoshù de zuìxíng。
我很后悔，但已无力回天。希望我的教训，能警醒其他步入歧途的年轻人。”	As much as I regret about it, I can’t reverse what I’ve done. I hope the lessons of me will wake up those young people that are stepping on the wrong path of life now.”

刘明天走后，庄力群打开了信封。原来，那是父亲给他写的。父亲显然还不知道儿子出大事了。	When Liu Mingtian left, Zhuang Liqun opened the envelope . It was actually from his Father. Obviously he didn’t know what happened to him.

还告诉他自己就快刑满释放了。说就要与他见面了。庄力群忍不住湿眼。	His father told him that he almost finished his service in the prison and would re-gain his freedom. He said they would re-unite soon. Zhuang Liqun couldn’t help but let tears welled up his eyes.
hái gàosu tā zìjĭ jiù kuài xíngmăn shìfàng le。 shuō jiùyào yŭ tā jiànmiàn le。 zhuāng lì qún rěnbuzhù shī yăn。
他想，刘明天没有把真相告诉父亲，是不想让他出狱前受刺激。	He thought that Liu Mingtian didn’t tell his father about his trial because he didn’t want to sadden him before his release.
tā xiăng， Liú míngtiān méiyŏu bă zhēnxiàng gàosu fùqīn， shì bùxiăng ràng tā chūyù qián shòu cìjī。

在庄贵祥被释放的早晨, 刘明天,文素云和庄贵祥的弟弟静静地等候在监狱门口.	On the morning that Zhuang Guixiang was finally released, Liu Mingtian, Wen Suyun and Zhuang Guixiang’s brother were waiting quietly outside the prison.

庄贵祥拎着属于自己的那一点物品, 忐忑地走出了大门. 五十来岁的他, 已是一头白发.	Zhuang Guixiang carried all that he had and stepped outside of the prison anxiously. He was in his 50’s though his hair was all gray.

他看到了文素云, 弟弟和那个来看过他的警察. 他心中涌起一股温暖. 他向他们走来, 向他们身后寻找, 但他们中唯一缺了那个他日夜思念的儿子.	He saw Wen Suyun, his brother, and the police officer who had visited him. Warm feelings filled up his body instantly. He walked toward them, he glanced over their back, he couldn’t spot the son that he had missed so much!

他并不知道, 等待他的三个人, 此时比他还要忐忑和紧张, 他们已准备好将实情告诉他, 准备好面对他的崩溃, 准备好同心同力帮他走过黑暗, 重新开始新的生活.	He didn’t know that the three were even more anxious and nervous than himself. They’ve been preparing to tell him the truth, to face his desperation upon hearing the truth, and to help him get out of the darkness and start a new life.
