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

罪恶有痕 5  
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.
” yŏudàoli。 suŏwèi de shēngsĭ qìyuē,
bĭ jiànlì zài lìyì shàng de qìyuē yào láogù dé duō,
tāmen jì xūyào xiānghù yīkào, yòu nénggòu xiānghù zhìyuē。
xiànzài de jiéfěi yě dōu mán jiăng fànzuì wénhuà de.”
jìshù kē de Qín dōng dăqù dào.
 
“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.
“ huídào zhèng tí,
xiàyībù de dāngwùzhījí, zhuīchá táoyì de báisè Jiédá,
diàochá shòuhàirén sĭ qián jĭ rì de huódòng, quèdìng qiāngzhī lèixíng.
 
商务车已经确认是案发前一天被盗走的,
现在还在做检验. ”
The van has been identified as being stolen one day before the robbery.
It is still under testing for material evidence.”
shāngwù chē yĭjīng quèrèn shì ànfā qiányītiān bèi dào zŏu de,
xiànzài hái zài zuò jiănyàn. ”
 

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.”
Liú míngtiān huàyīn gāng luò,
huìyìshì de ménwài jìnlái yīgèrén,
“ Liú duì, gāng jiēdào diànhuà,
shuō dōng fēng guăngchăng nàbian fāxiàn yī liàng qìzhì de báisè Jiédá,
ràng nĭmen guòqu kànkan.”
 

罪恶有痕 6  
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.
dāng Liú míngtiān, Qín dōng hé zhào kăifēng găndào dōng fēng guăngchăng shí,
yŏu liăng gè jiāojĭng yĭjīng shŏu zài nà liàng báisè Jiédá páng le.
gāo gè de nàge zhĭ le zhĭ chēzi, “ zài zhè zhìshăo tíng le sān gè xiăoshí le,
pángbiān de xiăofàn shuō, cóng tāmen lái shí chē jiù yĭjīng tíng zhèr le.
 

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.
báisè Jiédá de chēzhŭ hěn kuài jiù nòng qīngchu le,
shì yī gè dēngshān yòngpĭn gōngsī de lăobăn, jiào qí yŏufā。
 
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.
dàn jiēxiàlái de,
quèshì Liú míngtiān zuì bù xīwàng tīngdào de jiéguŏ,
qí yŏufā zài qiăngjié ànfā qiányītiān shīzōng le。
 
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.
 
jù qí yŏufā de gùyuán fănyìng,
qí yŏufā shīzōng nàtiān xiàbān bĭjiào zăo.
xiàbān de shíhou shì gēn tā de qíngfù yīqĭ kāichē zŏu de.
 
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.
ér tā de jiārén yīzhí dào yèli dōu méi jiàn tā huíjiā.
tā de qīzi dăbutōng tā de shŏujī, dānxīn chūshì.
dì’èrtiān zhōngwŭ jiù qù pàichūsuŏ bào le jĭng.
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.
