罪恶有痕 15  
“怎么?看着眼熟?”赵凯峰问。 “Parden me? They look familiar?” Asked Zhao Kaifeng.

” zěnme? kànzhe yănshú?” zhào kăi fēng wèn。

  
“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.

” bù shú yě bù shēng，
zhăng zhè múyàng de rén dàochù dōu shì。
tāmen dàodĭ gànshá huàishìr le?”
luó yuán yòu chóngfù le yībiàn tā de wèntí。

  
“你不怎么看电视吧?
前几天新闻里都在通缉这两个人，
他们是持枪抢劫案的嫌疑犯。”
赵凯峰一边回答，
一边目不转睛地盯着罗元。		 “You don’t watch TV, did you?
These people were posted as most wanted in the news lately.
They are the suspects of an armed robbery.”
Zhao Kaifeng answered Luo Yuan’s question
while fixing his eyes on him.
” 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。”		  
lăo wén yòu băishŏu， yòu yáotóu，
” wŏ yě méi jiàn guò。”
