一高一矮两道身影并肩行走在冷清的长街,突然的一道疾风将高个子披着的灰色斗篷吹得向后荡起,他微微垂下头一手摁了摁胸前的剑带,另一只手死死按住后背的连鞘长剑。Thaticy coldchillingtouchlikecardiotonic, makeshimcalminstantaneously.
那冰凉冷硬的触感就像一剂强心剂,瞬间让他镇定下来。„Roy......”short personstrokedto hangto the chest frontbeard, „, orconsidered as finished? EvenMaster Letholets slip! Icannotget into the wateryouagain. Yougo to the hotel in citymygoodnews.”
“罗伊……”身边的矮个子捋了捋垂到胸前的胡须,“要不算了?连雷索大师都失手!我不能再把你拖下水。你去城内的旅馆等我的好消息吧。”
The youngstershake the head, the absolute refusalsaid,„myTeacheris missing, doesn't fightto escape? Witchercannot do, Ibelieve that Dwarfalsodisdainsinmakingthisfriend.”
少年摇头,断然拒绝道,“我的老师还下落不明,就这么不战而逃?猎魔人做不出来,我相信矮人也不屑于交这种朋友。”„Oh, yousaidalsoright. Ifyoureallywork as a coward, Iwill look down uponyou.”
“唉,你说的也对。你若是真当个懦夫,我会瞧不起你。”„Askedagainyourmatter, during Lethoandyouwork together as colleagues, actuallyto findwhatlead?”
“再问你件事,雷索和你共事期间究竟找到了些什么线索?”Cranmerpulled the beardworriedly, „Ispeak the truth, wondersvery much, the Grandmasteris the customcomes and goes freely, orfeared that our ordinarypeopledo hold the hind leg? AlsohiseachGodhas the ghost, not to disappear, investigatesleadanythingtoussays nothing, untilambushesserial killerto makeusfollowfinallyto send out!”克莱默苦恼地扯了扯胡须,“我说个实话,很纳闷,大师是习惯独来独往,或者怕我们这种普通人托后腿?他每天神出鬼没、不见踪影,调查线索什么的也对我们闭口不谈,直到最后伏击连环杀手才让咱们跟着出动!”„Hū......”Royto raise the headdeeplyshouted the one breath, someheartsurprise, Lethowas the lone rangeris not false, after allhisseveraltimescriminal record that dropped outoneselfaloneaction, butwas not worthwhileallcaseshides the truth fromtheseis beingmurder caserushes aboutis advocating.
“呼……”罗伊抬头深呼了一口气,心头也有些诧异,雷索是独行侠不假,毕竟他有好几次抛下自己独自行动的前科,但犯不着把所有案情都瞒着这些为凶杀案奔波的正主。„Is the murdererextremelyin the great strength, Lethowantsto protectthem? Whatbehind this series ofmurder casehidden unable to let the secret that the bystanderknows?”
“是凶手太过于强大,雷索想要保护他们?还是这一系列的凶杀案背后隐藏着什么不能让外人知晓的秘密?”Two peoplego throughon the avenue the scatteredpedestrian, arrives at the Royal Palacewest sideghostalley.
两人一路穿过大街上稀稀落落的行人,来到王宫西侧的吊死鬼小巷。
The laneoutward appearance and namematchcertainly, between a grayconstructionandfullare the tall wall of dirtandmoss, is dimandnarrow, but after 100late the endis a blind alley.
巷子外观和名称绝配、在一栋灰色的建筑与满是污渍和苔藓的高墙之间,昏暗而狭窄,而一百迟后的尽头是条死路。Royenterslanefewsteps, smellsuniquesmell, foundgroundseveralbeachesfollowing the flavoralready the drybrownbloodstain. In addition, in the entirelanedoes not haveothersuspicioustrace.罗伊进入巷子没几步,就闻到一股独特的气味,顺着味道找到了地面几滩早已干涸的褐色血迹。除此之外,整条巷子里不存在别的可疑痕迹。Hissquatting downbody, ate the fingertipto moisten before a bloodgatheringnose that mixed with the dust, closed the eyeto feel the moment......
他蹲下身体,食指尖沾了一点夹杂灰尘的血凑到鼻子前,闭上眼睛感受了片刻……Rank...... lightdecayed......

一种气味类似于人类的鲜血,应该来自于猎魔人雷索;另一种散发腐臭,他从未闻过类似的味道……会是什么留下的?Heopens eyesagain, Dark Golden Colourpupilcontractsverticallozenge——suddenly
他再睁开眼,暗金色的瞳孔豁然收缩成竖直的棱形——Two„band” the bloodstainascensionalongground, lightlyfloatsin the midair, spreads...... light redtoward the ghostalleybeside, anotherblack...... thisis the Witchersense.
两条“绸带”沿着地面的血迹升腾而起,轻盈地漂浮在半空中,向着吊死鬼小巷之外蔓延……一条淡红色,另一条黑色……这是属于猎魔人的感官。Why will the bloodstainbe divided intotwodirections?
血迹为何会分成两个方向?
The youngsterare lost in thought.
少年陷入了沉思。Sidehas observedhisDwarf, noticeshispupilchange, was frightened the beardto tremble, stemming frominstinct of defense, got hold of the waistHunter that withsword——at that momentheas ifbyfood chainpeakstaring, himthought of the dragon, in the legend the Dragon TypelifeformthenhadDark Golden ColourVertical Pupil.
旁边一直观察他的矮人,注意到他的瞳孔变化,被吓得胡须一颤,出于防卫的本能,一把握紧了腰间的配剑——那一刻他仿佛被食物链顶端的猎食者给盯上了,他想到了龙,传说中龙类生物便具备暗金色的竖瞳。But isn't heViper School? ButhisTeacheramber brownpupil.
可他不是蝮蛇学派吗?他老师可是琥珀色的瞳孔。Roylooks at the standing upbody, the eyebrowpeakis tight, the visionsearched a smalllittle whilein the air, hesitantmoment...... indesignationmidairlight red„band”, skicesfollowingdirectionone that the bandextends, the traceis that is sometimes strong and sometimes light, the groundleaves leeway the bloodstainplaceto be rich, elsewhereinsipid......罗伊看着站起身体,眉峰紧蹙,目光在空气中搜索了一小会儿,犹豫了片刻……选定半空中淡红色的“绸带”,顺着绸带延伸的方向一阵疾行,痕迹时浓时淡,地上留有血迹处浓郁,别处则寡淡……Hisgoalis clear, stridedirect acting.
他的目标明确,大步直行。HoweverDwarfcannot seeanyleadcompletely, the richexperiencetoldhim, when the Witcherinvestigation, should better notto make the soundto disturb.
然而矮人完全看不出任何线索,丰富的经验告诉他,在猎魔人调查的时候,最好不要作声打扰。Hemaintainedfollowed close onpeacefully,
他保持安静紧跟了上去,
After fiveminutes, the youngsterstopped the footstepsnear a sparsely inhabitedLao Caigloomy, the complexionlike the water, has turned around, exploresin the anotherdirection.
五分钟后,少年在一条人烟稀少的老街边停下了脚步,脸色阴沉如水,又转过身,沿着另一个方向探索。Changes intothat„black” the band, traces, Royevenjumped up the lowroof, disregards the terrainto runon the roof......, butsoon, hehaltsagaindejected, dangled the face.
换成那条“黑色”的绸带,一路追踪,罗伊甚至跳上了低矮的屋顶,在房顶上无视地形地奔跑……但不久之后,他再次颓然止步,垂下了脸。„Did Roy, whatleaddiscover?”Dennis·Cranmertheninterrupted, anxiousinquiry.
“罗伊,发现了什么线索?”丹尼斯·克莱默这才插嘴,急切询问。„Sorry, mylevelwas worse than...... anythingnot to discoverTeachermany.”Two in youngstersense„band”interruptednot to have the tracesuddenly, timepassed by for severaldays, twohisWitcher SensesveryElementary, the abilitywas limited.
“抱歉,我的水平比老师差了很多……什么也没发现。”少年感官中的两条“绸带”都突然中断没了痕迹,一则时间过去了几天,二则他的猎魔人感官还很初级,能力有限。„leadseparated.”
“线索都断开了。”Dwarfcoarsefaceupper-classreveals the disappointedcolor, „do thatwealsocontinuehere the search?”矮人毛糙的脸上流露出失望之色,“那咱们还继续搜索这边吗?”„Ok, without the necessity of search,”Royponders over saying that „the body of deadinmorgue?”
“算了,没有搜索的必要,”罗伊思忖道,“死者的尸体都在停尸房?”„Right, sixcorpsesinthat side.”
“对,六具尸体都在那边。”„Leadsmeto have a look.”
“带我去看看吧。”Two peoplechanged a road, walked for roughlya halfhour, arrives atsomestreetend the leaningout-of-the-way place, outside a roughchillingSecond Floorgraybuilding.
两人换了条路,走了约莫半小时,来到某条街道尽头的偏僻处,一座粗犷冷硬的二层灰色建筑物外。
After a downwardstaircase, rustyiron gateajar, originallymorgueinunderground.
一条向下的楼梯之后生锈的铁门半掩着,原来停尸房在地下。Juststepped into the front door, strongdecayedbroke intwo peoplenasal cavitiesinstantaneously, Royis frowningto cover the nose,
刚踏入大门,一股浓烈腐臭瞬间冲入两人的鼻腔,罗伊皱着眉头捂了捂鼻子,„A guard?”
“一个看守都没有?”Dwarfthinks otherwise saying that on the deceased person who „sends the propertyhad been dug upup, the destitutestpickpocketsare impossibleto runhereto commit a theft. Without the thingcansteal, steals the corpse?”矮人不以为然道,“送来的死人身上财物早就被扒光,连最穷困的扒手都不可能跑这儿行窃。没东西可以偷,难道偷尸体?”„Did not saycertainly, have youheardfoodcorpse?

“说不准,你有没有听说过食尸者?凶手也可能来这里破坏尸体上的线索。”

位于地下的阴暗走廊被淡淡的火光照亮,两人七拐八拐穿过几间穿过堆满密密麻麻棺材般重叠着的陈尸柜。Placeson the irontable that sinkssecretly, was suturedby the needleworkforcefullyin the same placeabnormalcorpse.
还有一具又一具摆放在暗沉的铁桌上,被针线强行缝合在一起的畸形尸体。Dwarfsees the youngsterfacerevealstartledcolor, thenanswered, „youthought that herecorpsewere many? BasicallyEllanderwill discover a freshcorpseevery several days.”矮人见少年脸露惊色,便解释道,“你觉得这里的尸体多吗?基本上艾尔兰德每隔几天就会发现一具新鲜的尸体。”„Accidents, diseasesandcriminal syndicatesfought, the Killerassassination...... the cause of deathall sorts of strange and unusual, over1/3corpseno oneaccepted, overhalf ofcorpsescould not find the murderers.”
“意外、疾病、黑帮斗殴、杀手暗杀……死亡原因千奇百怪、其中有超过三分之一的尸体无人认领,还有超过一半的尸体找不到凶手。”Dwarfsobbed, „, althoughthisseriesmurder casehas diedsixpeople, but if locationnotnearRoyal Palace, butwasotherregions, ifdid not angerCrown PrinceHerewardexactly, Ithink that Knight Orderwas impossibleto drag in lots of people.”矮人唏嘘道,“虽说至今这起连环凶杀案已死了六个人,但若发生地点不在王宫附近而是其他区域,如果不是恰好惹怒了希沃德亲王,我想骑士团根本不可能这么兴师动众。”„Regardless ofotherEllandercities, the manpower and financial resourceis limitedforever, is impossibleto solveallcases.

“无论艾尔兰德还是其他城市,人力和财力永远有限,不可能解决掉所有案件。只能选择一些治安官‘认为重要的’。”Royis silent, inthisbackwardtimeRulereye, the civilianandNoblelifevaluemay notplace on a parcompletely.罗伊默然,这个落后的时代统治者眼中,平民和贵族的生命价值完全不可相提并论。

继续向前两人来到一张血迹斑斑的铁桌前,一名身披白色围裙、带着口罩身材高大的男人正背对他们处理着一具尸体。„Howto inspect, hasnewlead? Francis.”
“检查得如何,有新的线索吗?弗朗西斯。”Coroner does not seem to heard the question , to continue the work in hand, the slenderright arm under white coatis mentioningsuddenlybackwardhigh, betweentwofingers an muddyneedlereflects the dazzlingrayunder the pale yellowlight.验尸官仿佛没听到问话,继续着手中的活儿,白大褂下的修长右臂忽而向后高高提起,两指之间一枚浑浊的针头在昏黄的灯光下反射出刺眼的光芒。Heentrainedlayer on layer/heavilytightened the seamcorpseline, lowers the headtenfingerssuch as the administrative enclaveto transport the needle.
他重重地拽紧了缝尸线,又低下头十指如飞地运针。„Puff......” the sharpthingentersin the human voice, hismovementis confident, hiseffortis moderately just right, inexplicablebelt/bringfeeling.
“噗噗……”的锐物入肉声中,他的动作不徐不疾,他的力度不轻不重恰到好处,莫名带感。As if the bodyis wavingwith an unknownrhythm, seemsis placedin front ofhimis not a dirtyodorcorpse, butis a greatartware.
仿佛身体在跟着一个未知的节奏舞动,就好似摆在他面前不是一具肮脏恶臭的尸体,而是一件伟大的艺术品。Waited for severalminutes, hesewslast, stains the left hand of fleshto lift the mask, cut by biting the seamcorpselinewith the toothneatly.
等了几分钟,他缝完最后一针,沾满血肉的左手掀开口罩,干净利落地用牙齿咬断了缝尸线。Thenlongimplored the one breath, sat down exhaustedon the chair, beckons with the handin a low, muffled voiceto saybackward,„Dennis·Cranmer, Ihave proposedrepeatedly, the time that do not requireto workmade the sound. If by some chancemyhandshookto damagecomplete, the deadis unable to rest, was careful that theycrawledto askyouto do accounts!”
接着长吁一口气,瘫坐在椅子上,向后摆了摆手瓮声瓮气地说,“丹尼斯·克莱默,我多次提出过,不要工作的时间发出声音。万一我手抖损伤了完整度,死者无法安息,小心他们爬起来找你算账!”Histoneis hoarse, bringsCharm of difficultword, making one be able not help to hear.
他的语气沙哑,又带着一种难言的魅力,让人情不自禁想要听得更多。RoyDark Golden Colourpupilconcentrates, henoticesthisfellowto revealon the sleevesrightsmallarmhasspidertypetattoo.罗伊暗金色瞳孔一凝,他注意到这家伙露在衣袖外面的右小臂上有一只蜘蛛样纹身。Dwarfhearswordactuallydisdainsto smile, „yousuperstitiousfellow, mustreallyhave the ghost, Iwelcomethemto visitto be a guest, Iwill receive cordiallythemwithDwarven Spirit, makinghimwork as the drunkdevil!”矮人闻言却不屑一笑,“你个迷信的家伙,要真有鬼魂,俺欢迎他们登门做客,俺会用烈酒来款待他们,让他当个醉死鬼!”„Idle talkwere not manysaid,discussed the proper businesswithyou, aboutthatserial killer......”
“废话不多说,跟你谈正事,关于那个连环杀手……”Underurging of Dwarf, Coroner, helplesstransferred the bodyto take off the mask, took off the surgeryclothing/takingleisurely.矮人的催促下,验尸官无奈转过身体摘下了口罩,慢条斯理地脱掉了手术服。Thisis about 30 -year-old men, hegives the firstimpression of personishandsome, handsometosupple.

这是位三十岁左右的男人,他给人的第一印象是英俊,英俊到阴柔。他有着高挺的鼻梁、深邃的眸子泛起失眠的黑眼圈,嘴唇带着微微的猩红,不知是不是在地下室里待得太久,久不见阳光,皮肤白的没有一丝血色。Hiswear is also clean, is sending outgloomyNoblemakingsneatlyandfrom top to bottom.
他的穿着却又干净、整洁、浑身上下散发着一股阴沉的贵族气质。Helieson the chairyawnslazily, shifts toRoycarelessly,
他趴在椅子上懒洋洋地打了个呵欠,吊儿郎当地转向罗伊,„Thisnewboy,”hereveals a wordstooth, smiles, „do not look at a manwiththatlook. Mustlook for the words of pleasure...... to recommendyouto go tocity northmoney dissolverPeacock Brothel, Ihave triedwomanenoughsexypersonally!”
“这位新来的小子,”他露出一口白牙,笑了笑,“不要用那种眼神看一个男人。要找乐子的话……推荐你去城北的销金窟孔雀花,我亲自尝试过娘们够火辣!”Royremains unmovedslightly, after the matter that „your excellency, looks for the womandoes tolerate, said.

“我猜是那个光头的徒弟!”验尸官冲着他评头论足,毫不掩饰语气中的嫌弃,“瞧瞧这打扮,黑黄相间的皮甲、灰扑扑的披风,胸口纹着一朵玫瑰,还带着一个丑不拉几的兜帽,你们猎魔人的审美真是惊人的一致,简直落后当前时代好几百年……”„Good, Iwas quiet!”
“好吧,我住嘴!”Francisstretches oneselfto standfrom the chairsuddenly.弗朗西斯突然伸了个懒腰从椅子上站了起来。„Comes the boywithme, gives forewarning,”hedid not saypatiently,„young people, are mentally prepared, carefulwas frightenedlaterhas the trauma!”Throws downthese words, heturns aroundto guideswaggering.
“跟我来小子,不过有言在先,”他不耐烦地说,“年轻人,做好心理准备吧,小心待会儿被吓得产生心理阴影!”丢下这句话,他大摇大摆地转身带路。„Eh, thisfellow, althoughis strange, but the mannerisgood.”Dwarfhands over an apology the look.
“额,这家伙虽然性格古怪,但为人还是不错的。”矮人递过来一个歉意的眼神。„Understanding.”Royis sizing up the Francisback, whichordinarypersonhehas not seento a Witchersuchcarelessattitude.
“了解。”罗伊打量着弗朗西斯的背影,他没见过哪个普通人对猎魔人这么一副漫不经心的态度。
