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. |
tīng wán Liú míngtiān de wèntí, luó yuán àohuĭ de tàn le kŏuqì, ” qíshí ā, wŏ zhè péngyou zhăng de, hé nĭmen jīntiān gěi wŏ kàn de huàxiàng zhòng de yīgèrén hěn xiàng。 |
|
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.” |
shuō jù xīnlihuà, wŏ zhēn bù xìn tā huì gàn qiăngjié shārén de shì。 tā duì jiārén hé péngyou qíshí dōu tĭng bùcuò de。。。 suŏyĭ nĭmen dìyīcì ràng wŏ kàn huàxiàng de shíhou, wŏ yàgēn jiù méi wăng tā shēnshang xiăng。” |
|
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. |
Liú míngtiān huíyì le yīxià luó yuán báitiān kàn dào huàxiàng shí de
fănyìng。 tā pànduàn luó yuán dāngshí jiù kànchū huàxiàng hé zhēnrén shífēn xiāngsì, dàn jīyú mŏuzhŏng yuányīn, tā dāngshí xuănzé le yĭnmán。 |

“可以告诉我们你的朋友叫什么名字了吧?” 赵凯峰已经沉不住气了。 |
“Could you please tell us the name of your friend?” Zhao Kaifeng couldn’t wait any longer for the answer. |
” kěyĭ gàosu wŏmen nĭ de péngyou jiào shénme míngzi le ba?” zhào kăi fēng yĭjīng chénbùzhùqì le。 |
|
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. |
dì’èrtiān zhōngwŭ, dāng zhào kăi fēng hé Liú míngtiān fēngfēnghuŏhuŏ găn huí jú lĭ de shíhou, zhènghăo pèngshàng fángbào duì de kē yŏng hé Lĭwéi, tāmen shì lái xíngzhēn zhèbiān lā rén găo huódòng de。 |
|
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.” |
chuānzhuó yīshēn jĭngfú de kē yŏng pāi le pāi zhào kăi fēng de jiāntóu, ” xiăo zhào, wŏmen nàbian zhèngzài guăngchăng găo huódòng, lái le hěn duō shìmín。 tóur yĭjīng wèn le, zěnme méiyŏu xíng-zhēn de rén cānjiā? nĭ fănzhèng yě shì xīn lái de, lăo Liú tāmen quē nĭ yī gè bùdăjĭn。” |
|
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.” |
Lĭwéi yě zài yīpáng shuōfú Liú míngtiān。 Liú míngtiān kŭxiào le yīxià, ” qù ba, xiăo zhào, zhèzhŏng huódòng wŏmen xíngzhēn lăo bù cānjiā yě bùhăo。 nĭ jiù zuò wŏmen de dàibiăo ba。 rúguŏ yŏu shénme jĭnjí qíngkuàng, wŏ huì dă nĭ shŏujī。” |

赵凯峰虽然一千个不愿意, 也实在不好拒绝。 只好和柯勇他们一起上了车。 |
Although Zhao Kaifeng was rather reluctant to go, he knew he couldn’t decline. He had to get on the car with Ke Yong. |
zhào kăi fēng suīrán yī qiān gè bù yuànyì,
yě shízài bùhăo jùjué。 zhĭhăo hé kē yŏng tāmen yīqĭ shàng le chē。 |
|
路上,柯勇给三个人都买了盒饭。 三个人迅速吃完饭, 就继续朝广场开去。 |
On the way, Ke Yong bought take-away lunch for the three of them. They finished their lunch in a flash and then continued their drive to the square. |
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. |
zhào kăi fēng kàn le kē yŏng yīyăn。
kē yŏng rén hěn jīngshén, píngtóu, nóng méi, dà tā wŭ liù suì de yàngzi, zài fángbào duì yĭjīng shì lăo duìyuán le。 |
|
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.” |
tāmen yŏu yīzhènzi méi zàiyīqĭ liáo le, jīntiān chūlái găo huódòng, zhào kăi fēng zhènghăo kěyĭ gēn tā liáo liáo。 ” shì ā, háishi Qín lăoshī yŏu běnshì ā, cóng yī kē luóshī jiù duàndìng shuĭkù kěnéng shì pāo shī dìdiăn。” |
|
“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. |
zhào kăi fēng yóuyù le yīxià。 àn-guīdìng, zhèngzài diàochá de xíngshì ànjiàn ànqíng shì bùgāi suíbiàn xièlù de。 bùguò kē yŏng hé Lĭwéi dōu shì yī gè dānwèi de dìxiong, tán ànqíng yě suàn nèibù tăolùn ba. |
|
“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. |
