回到车上，陈实舒展了一个筋骨，掏出一根烟，问：“警察同志，我可以来一根吗？”

When they returned to the car, Chen Shi stretched and then pulled out a cigarette and asked, “Miss Police Officer, can I have one of these?”

“随便！”林冬雪生硬地说，“对了，我把钱还你。”

“Do as you please!” Lin Dongxue said stiffly(生硬地，顽固地，呆板地), “Oh yeah, I’ll pay you back right now.”

陈实掏出手机，递过来，上面有个二维码，林冬雪正要扫突然发现那是微信名片，她皱眉道：“你弄个转帐二维码啊？谁要加你微信！”

Chen Shi took out his phone and handed it over to her. On it was a QR code. Lin Dongxue was about to swipe over it to accept the money request when she noticed that the QR code was to add a new friend. She frowned, “What’s with this QR code? Who would want to add someone like you as a friend on WeChat?!”

陈实笑着点上烟：“加个微信又怎么了？”

Chen Shi smiled and inquired, “It’s just adding me as a friend on WeChat. What's the issue?”

“谁要加你微信，你一个犯罪嫌疑人，少跟我套近乎！”顿了顿，林冬雪问：“你究竟有什么目的？”

“Who would want to add you on WeChat? You’re a murder suspect, so don’t play this game with me!” After a pause, Lin Dongxue asked, “What exactly is your motive?”

“什么什么目的？”

“What do you mean, ‘What’s my motive?’ I don’t have a motive.”

“你自己做了什么事难道不清楚，一开始跟我玩欲擒故纵，然后又在我面前扮好人，然后又想拿一双鞋讨好我，别以为这些能瞒得过我，你什么背景我同事已经调查得一清二楚。”

“You know full well what you’ve done! Besides, you’ve been scheming to get me to add you from the beginning. First, you pretended not to care about me being a police officer. Then, you tried to act like a nice person in front of me, and also tried to bait(诱饵，诱惑) me with a free pair of shoes. Don’t think these can win me over! My colleagues have already investigated your background thoroughly.”

陈实一脸苦笑：“我真不知道我干了什么，要不你提个醒？”

Chen Shi smiled bitterly, “I truly don’t know what I’ve done. Why don’t you enlighten(启发，开导，阐明) me?”

“9月10号晚上，你干了什么？”

“What were you doing on the night of September 10th?”

“接活，跟几个哥们吃饭，然后回家洗澡睡觉。”

“I worked, ate with a few of my fellow driving buddies, then went home to take a shower and go to sleep.”

林冬雪冷笑：“就这些？”

Lin Dongxue sneered, “Don’t think that I’ll believe you so easily. What else did you do?”

“你指望一个的哥的生活有多么丰富精彩？要不，你再给我提个醒，帮我回忆回忆？”

“You think the life of a driver like myself is rich and exciting? How about this, why don’t you remind me and help me recall whatever it is that I’ve supposedly done?”

“少来，你在套我的话，我才不会上你的当。”

“Enough with the act. You’re just trying to act all innocent. You can’t fool me!”

陈实把烟在烟灰缸里按灭，指着自己的脸：“看着我这张英俊的脸，这是犯罪嫌疑人的长相？”

Chen Shi pressed the cigarette onto the ashtray and pointed at his face: “Look at this handsome face. Is this the face of a suspect?”

“坏人脸上又不会写字！”

“Whether someone is a bad guy or not isn’t written on their faces!”

“那可不一定，坏人脸上写的不是汉字，那种字是需要敏锐的眼睛才能看出来的，就比如说刚刚那个抢包贼，我一眼就看出来他慌慌张张，不像好人。”

“That’s not necessarily true. It may not be explicitly written on one’s face, but there are ‘words’ requiring a keen eye to reveal if one is a bad character or not. For example, I could tell at a glance that the thief who grabbed the lady’s bag just now was very wary(小心翼翼，谨慎) and flustered(慌张), unlike a regular citizen.”

手机响了一下，林秋浦已经发了几条信息：“怎么还没到？”

The phone rang, and Lin Dongxue saw that her brother had sent a few messages in the time that they had left the car, asking why she wasn’t there yet.

林冬雪说：“开车吧……等等！”

Lin Dongxue instructed Chen Shi, asking, “Start the car already.”

她推开车门，坐进副驾驶座，拉过陈实的手，那是一张白皙纤细的手，完全不像长年趴活的的哥，陈实笑着说：“怎么了，你会看手相？”

She pushed the door open, sat in the passenger seat, and grabbed Chen Shi’s right hand. His hand was white and slender, not fitting someone who’d been working a blue-collar job for a long time. Chen Shi smiled and asked, “What’s wrong? You know how to read palms?”

回答他的是喀嚓一声，一副手铐铐在他腕上，林冬雪准备把另一端铐在自己手腕上，陈实指点她：“笨蛋，这样我怎么开车，把我的左手铐在方向盘上啊！”

Answering him was a click as a pair of handcuffs was placed on his right wrist. Lin Dongxue was about to put the other end on her own wrist when Chen Shi pointedly stated, “Stupid, how am I meant to drive like this? Put the left side of the handcuff on the steering wheel!”

林冬雪瞪他一眼，陈实解释：“我右手要换档，要握方向盘，你开过车吗？”

Lin Dongxue narrowed her eyes at him, and Chen Shi explained, “I have to change gears with my right hand, and I have to hold the steering wheel with my left. Have you driven a car before?”

“少废话！”

“Shut up! I want less nonsense from you!”

林冬雪解开他的手铐，探过半个身子铐住他的左手和方向盘，陈实看着破绽百出的林冬雪暗想，这个时候就算打晕她再抢走钥匙也不成问题。

Lin Dongxue uncuffed him and reached over his body to cuff his left hand to the steering wheel. Chen Shi looked at her severely flawed actions and began thinking. Even if I were to knock her out right now and take her keys, it would go without a hitch.

同时他也在想，这姑娘的身材真好啊！

At the same time, something crossed his mind. Hey, this girl has an exceptional figure!

重新发动汽车，陈实笑眯眯地问：“你叫什么？”

After starting the car up again, Chen Shi lightly smiled and asked, “What’s your name?”

“我才不会跟一个犯罪嫌疑人废话！”

“I am so not going to make useless small talk with a murder suspect!”

陈实挠挠脸颊：“你瞧你一口一个犯罪嫌疑人的，多难听啊，万一我不是呢？”

Chen Shi shook his head a little, “You keep saying that I’m a murder suspect. It sounds so horrible. What if, on the off chance, I’m not the perpetrator?”

在那双眼神灼灼的注视下，林冬雪突然有些动摇，这人确实有点不太像，可是转念一想，背景那么不干净的家伙，怎么可能不是。

Lin Dongxue’s eyes wavered upon seeing his righteous gaze. This person indeed seems a bit different from every other murderer, but if you think about it, his background is just so awful. How could it not be him?

“不存在！”

“That’s impossible!”

“我说万一我不是呢！要不打个赌。”

“I said ‘on the off chance’! Why don’t we make a bet?”

“赌什么？”

“What are we betting on?”

“如果我最后被证明是清白的，你请我吃饭。”

“If I can prove that I’m innocent in the end, you need to treat me to a free meal.”

“我才不要！”

“There’s no chance in hell that I’m doing that!”

“小姐，你看我一个的哥，也不知道发生了什么事情，就被你们请去喝茶，对你们来说是件小事，可对我是件大事，且不说我的同事会怎么想，家人会怎么想，我今天误工少挣了几万块，你们赔偿吗？”

“Miss, look here. I’m just a driver that doesn’t even know what’s going on, and I’m getting invited to ‘have tea’ with you guys. To you, it might be a small thing, but it’s a big deal for me. What would my colleagues and family think? Moreover, I lost tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of orders today. Are you guys going to reimburse me for it?”

“几万块？你当你开的车是镶钻的啊？”

“Tens of thousands of dollars? Are you going to pretend that your car is embedded with diamonds?”

“那可没准，万一我载个要去医院生孩子的富婆，人家一高兴给个大红包。”

“Maybe. For all I know, I might have had to drive a pregnant rich lady to the hospital to deliver her child. If she were pleased, she might have given me a big red envelope!”

“油嘴滑舌！”林冬雪厌恶地说道，她最讨厌这种男人，比对纠缠不休的徐晓东还讨厌。

“You’re a real smooth talker, aren’t ya?” Lin Dongxue was disgusted. She hated this kind of man the most; she despised Chen Shi even more than Xu Xiaodong, who wouldn’t leave her alone.

陈实毫无自知之明，不停地拿胳膊肘搡她：“怎么样，对你来说也不吃亏！”

Chen Shi had no self-awareness at all and kept nudging her with his elbow, “How about it, you don’t lose out or anything!”

“好啊！”林冬雪赌气地说，“我答应，反正是不可能的事情！”

“Fine!” Lin Dongxue caved in with an annoyed attitude, “Since you can’t prove your innocence anyway!”

“这世上没什么是不可能的。”陈实一脸微笑地目视前方。

“Nothing in this world is impossible,” Chen Shi looked at her and smiled slightly.

陈实老实了一会，经过一个红灯的时候，他低头玩起手机，突然林冬雪的手机响了，微信上提示一个顶着吴彦祖头像，名叫“大灰狼”的人加她好友。

Chen Shi was driving earnestly for some time until he reached an intersection. At the red light, he lowered his head and began playing on his phone. Suddenly, Lin Dongxue’s phone got a notification. On WeChat, it indicated that there was someone called “Big Grey Wolf” with a Wu Yanzu icon who had added her as a friend.

“原来你的微信号就是手机号啊！”陈实笑嘻嘻地说。

“So it turns out that your mobile number is your WeChat number!” Chen Shi laughed.

林冬雪瞪他一眼，陈实催促：“接受呗，不然之后请吃饭，你怎么联系我？”

Lin Dongxue glared at him while Chen Shi urged, “Accept my friend request already. Otherwise, how are you going to contact me when you have to give me my free meal?”

没见过脸皮这么厚的人，林冬雪点击接受，同时设置不让对方看到朋友圈。

Lin Dongxue had never met someone so thick-skinned. She clicked the accept button to add Chen Shi as a friend while making sure that the other party couldn’t see her circle of friends and moments on the app.

来到刑侦大队，林秋浦等人站在外面，几乎是夹道欢迎的阵势，同事们纷纷围过来，称赞林冬雪运气好到爆炸，竟然一出门就把犯罪嫌疑人拎回来了。

As the pair were arriving at the precinct, Lin Dongxue saw that Lin Qiupu and others were all standing outside, almost like they were welcoming a red-carpet(隆重的，华贵的) celebrity(名人，名流，名望，名誉). The police officers came towards them one after another, praising Lin Dongxue for her explosively good luck, saying that she was very fortunate to be able to escort(护送，押送，护卫队) the murder suspect back almost as soon as she went out.

林秋浦郑重其事地说：“冬雪，这案子要是破了，记你一等功。”

Lin Qiupu declared with a professional tone, “Dongxue, if this case is solved, we will remember your meritorious(值得赞扬的) service towards this case.”

这时车门开了，陈实笑着向大家招手：“大家好，我叫陈实，这都快中午了，管饭吗？”

At this time, the door opened, and Chen Shi smiled as he waved his hand at everyone. “Hello everyone, my name is Chen Shi. It’s almost noon! Is there lunch?”

众人目瞠口呆，没见过这么自来热的犯罪嫌疑人，林冬雪小声叮嘱：“这家伙滑头得很，千万别被他绕进去！”

Everyone was dumbfounded. The group had never seen a suspect that acted as if he was so familiar with them. Lin Dongxue whispered, “This guy is very sly(狡诈，狡猾，诡秘). Don’t be fooled by him!”

林秋浦叫出两名警员：“小海、小王，带他去审讯室！”

Lin Qiupu called out to two officers, saying, “Xiao Hai, Xiao Wang, take him to the interrogation(审讯，审问，疑问句) room!”

两小时后，审讯室的门突然撞开，两名警员冲出来：“我受不了了，这家伙歪道理一套一套的，逻辑还贼缜密，根本说不过他，队长，还是你亲自来吧！”

Two hours later, the door to the interrogation room suddenly slammed open. Two police officers rushed out, “I can’t take it anymore. This guy is ridiculously reasonable, logical, and meticulous(细心，小心翼翼) with his arguments. We can’t figure him out at all. Captain, you’ll have to interrogate him personally!”

林秋浦把茶杯一墩：“我去会会他！”

Lin Qiupu set his teacup down, “I will have a little talk with him!”

林冬雪抓起外套：“我也去！”哥哥被刁难的样子，要是不能亲眼看到，实在太可惜了。

Lin Dongxue grabbed her jacket, “I’ll go too!” It would be a pity not to see my brother’s troubled expression with my own eyes.

两人来到审讯室，陈实抱怨：“这椅子好难受啊，我的痔疮都快犯了，能不能给个垫子？”

When the two walked into the interrogation room, Chen Shi complained, “This chair is so uncomfortable. My hemorrhoids are going to flare up(突然发怒，突然燃烧，爆发) again. Would it be possible to get a cushion(软垫，坐垫，起缓冲作用的事物)?”

林秋浦放下资料，哼了一声：“在你选择做出触犯法律的行为时，就注定了会得到这种对待，想要舒服，老老实实在家呆着！”

Lin Qiupu set the case’s information down and snorted, “When you chose to violate the law, you were destined(注定，命中注定，前往，运往) to get this treatment. If you wanted to be comfortable, you should have lived an honest life at home!”

陈实说：“我再次声明一件事，我不是罪犯，目前仅仅是犯罪嫌疑人，你们这种对待罪犯的态度，我认为是敌我不分，误判了人民内部矛盾和人民外部矛盾，往小了说是工作失职，往大了说就是立场问题！”

Chen Shi reminded, “I will once again remind you that I am not a criminal. At present, I am only a suspect. To treat me with the attitude that you treat criminals with, I believe, is you misjudging friend from foe(敌人，仇敌), as there’s currently just an assumption of guilt. You’ve confused innocent until proven guilty(无罪推定) with guilty until proven innocent(有罪推定. Put nicely, it’s a negligence(疏忽，失职，失误，过失) of your current duties. When not put so kindly, it’s a huge problem from your standpoint!”

林秋浦怒拍桌子：“少给我玩弄外交辞令，我不跟你兜圈子，9月10号的晚上，你做了什么，一五一十地交代！”

Lin Qiupu angrily slammed his hand on the table, “Don’t play these language games with me. I’m not going to beat around the bush(拐弯抹角，旁敲侧击，说话绕圈子) with you. On the night of September 10th, what were you doing? Confess(供认，坦白，承认) in full detail!”

“那我正面回答你！”陈实掰着手指开始回忆：“6到7点半，我和几个哥们在大排挡吃饭，7点半到凌晨两点我一直在拉客，你可以查询我的记录，凌晨两点半我回到住处洗澡睡觉。”

“Then, I will answer you directly!” Chen Shi began to recall with his fingers, “From 6:00 to 7:30, I was eating at the food stalls with a few driving buddies. I had been doing my rounds, getting orders, and chauffeuring(司机，开车运送) passengers from 7:30 till two in the morning. You can investigate my records. At 2:30 in the morning, I went home to shower and sleep.”

笔录员小声说：“他刚才也是这样说的！”

The record keeper whispered, “He said the same thing earlier as well!”
