Chinese online short story 罪恶有痕 Traces of Sin (Intermediate to Advanced)
罪恶有痕 33  

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.
zhuāng lì qún wànwàn méiyŏu xiăngdào,
tā dă huíjiā de nàge jiănduăn diànhuà,
jìng shì tā fàn xià de yī gè zhìmìng de cuòwù.
yīzhí zài kŭkŭ xúnzhăo tā de xíngjĭng men,
cóng zhège diànhuà jìlù rùshŏu,
hěn kuài cháqīng le láidiàn de wèizhi. 		 
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.
diànhuà suīrán shì zài gōngyòngdiànhuà tíngdă de.
dàn dìdiăn lí tā cángshēn de dìfang bìngbù yuăn.
dă wán diànhuà de dì’èrtiān,
Liú míngtiān, zhào kăi fēng tāmen jiù liányè găn le guòlái.		  
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.
diàochá shì cóng diànhuàtíng de jiānkòng lùxiàng kāishĭ de.
jìn-guăn zhuāng lì qún huà le zhuāng,
tōngguò duìbĭ dădiànhuà de shíjiān hé jiānkòng huàmiàn shàng de shíjiān,
suŏdìng zhuāng lì qún de yĭngxiàng bìngbù kùnnan.		  
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.
cóng lùxiàng shàng kàn,
tā líkāi diànhuàtíng hòu yīlù bùxíng,
zuìhòu xiāoshī zài jiē wěi.
ér jiē wěi de jìntóu shì yīpiàn dī’ăi de chūzū wū.
