“No…no,wrong... you guessed it wrong.(不……錯了……你猜的都錯了。)”下手搖頭。
“You really don't think about it?Another possibility.(你真的想不到嗎?另外一種可能。)”
“?!”
“Hmm…that's what you can do.(你也不過如此。)”下手死死地盯著管家E。
“Let me tell you directly.The first word is indeed‘his’.The second word is‘a(chǎn)udio’.”(我直接告訴你吧,第一個詞確實是‘his’,第二個是‘a(chǎn)udio’。)
沉默了良久,A才接話:“Okay,thank you.”(謝謝你了。)
又繼續(xù)說:“I believe it's not you, detective niki or his brother Div Brown, so we can work together.”(我相信不是你,偵探niki或者他的兄弟Div·Brown,所以我們可以合作。)
“Maybe.”下手突然微笑看著他:“Hmm…I'll tell you one thing.——I have changed what the guests just drank.You may wonder what this is.”(嗯……我告訴你一件事——客人們剛才喝的已經(jīng)被我調(diào)換了。你也許會好奇這是什么。)
“You forgot your original purpose.This password is fake.”(你忘了你原本的目的,這個密碼是假的。)下手轉(zhuǎn)頭就走:“Before meeting you, I had sent letters inviting the two families.”(在跟你見面之前,我已經(jīng)發(fā)出邀請兩大家族的信。)
這些話A站在公爵書房中腦中一一閃過,臉上不露聲色。
“Where is the tape?”Div抬眼看著偵探。(磁帶在哪?)
偵探抬了抬手,示意手中的東西。
niki掙扎地站了起來,被捆綁著了雙腿,只能跳著往Div去。
“Uh!”(呃)
反應(yīng)過來已經(jīng)被Div扶住了。
方才不知為何下手突然用腿往后勾偵探的腳腕,使他往前倒。
A把剛才飛滑過來的東西用腿掩住,踢向黑暗角落。
那一刻下手沖A笑了笑,但又很快隱去。
此時白色的磁帶在Div手上,卻皺了眉頭。
“What's wrong?(怎么了)”管家E看向他。
沉默良久,瞟了眼下手,才勉強說:“It's okay.(沒事)”
把白色磁帶里的內(nèi)容播放出來,下手臉上的憤怒掩擋不住:“Oh, my poor master.(噢,我可憐的主人)”
