While the weatheralsoearly, hegoes outnearbyrushed to the seconddead, in the family/home of Vivaldi Bankstaff.
趁着天色还早,他出了门就近赶到了第二名死者,维瓦尔第银行员工的家中。DeadFarquearthis year is 33 years old, livesin the inhabited area of EllanderCityMiddle class, decoratesin the fineandtastefulthreeredsmallforeign-style multi-storied buildings, healsohaspair of lovablechildren, attractivewifeMisa.
死者法奎尔今年三十三岁,生活在艾尔兰德城中产阶级的居民区,一栋装饰得精致、讲究的三层红色小洋楼里,他还有着一对可爱的儿女,一位漂亮的妻子米莎。Simplyis the lifewinner.
简直是人生赢家。Farquearhad not expected that oneselfwill drop downsuddenly, does not have anyopportunityconfessionthings to do after death.
法奎尔未曾预料到自己会突然倒下,根本没有任何机会交代后事。In the onlylabor forceas the family/home, hisdeathwas no different than the total destructionto the entirefamily.
作为家里中唯一的劳动力,他的死亡对整个家庭而言无异于灭顶之灾。
The housewifeMisainstantaneouscollapse, does not knowhowownthese dayswas. „Farquearwalked, in the family/homehas not receivedcompletely, how do twochildrenwantto live?”
家庭主妇米莎瞬间崩溃,都不知道自己这几天是怎么挺过来的。“法奎尔走了,家里完全没有收入,两个孩子要怎么活?”
The womenare holding the hands of twoignorantchildren, lingersbeforeownfront doorignorantly, onfairfaceYinclearuncertain.
女人牵着两名懵懂孩童的手,浑浑噩噩地徘徊在自家的大门前,白皙的脸上阴晴不定。„ThisLady, take the libertyaskedone, were you widow of Mr.Farquear?”
“这位女士,冒昧地问一句,您可是法奎尔先生的遗孀?”
The suddenmoderatesoundrushes, hereyecontainsto confuse, frontthatstrangemanhairis extremely short, is almost bald, the pupilDark Golden Colouras ifwild animal, looks atonefrightening.
突然一个温和的声音闯了进来,她眼含迷惑,面前那个的陌生的男人头发极短,几乎是光头,瞳孔暗金色仿佛野兽,看一眼也让人心惊胆战。Althoughon the facehas the friendlyhappy expression.
虽然脸上却带着友善的笑意。Shetightened the body, protectstwochildrenbehind, is askinganxiously,
她绷紧了身体,将两个孩子护在身后,紧张地问,„Are you...... youareWitcher?”
“你是……你是猎魔人?”Thisappearance is really conspicuous.
这副样子真是太显眼。Royalsoreluctantly, repliedas if for real,罗伊也无奈,半真半假地答道,„Right, IamViper SchoolWitcherRoy, mygood friendencounters the mishapwithyour husbandgenerally, Iwantto catch the murderer/culprit, revengesforhim. Does not know whether youare willingto coordinatemeto answerseveralissues?”
“没错,我是蛇派猎魔人罗伊,我的一位好友同您丈夫一般遭遇不测,我想抓出真凶,替他报仇。不知您是否愿意配合我回答几个问题?”Two5 or 6-year-oldchildhearssoundgrasped the arm of woman, buton the latterfacealsoflashes through the color of fear, stared athimto size upfor a long time.
两个五六岁的孩子闻声抓紧了女人的胳膊,而后者脸上也闪过畏惧之色,盯着他打量了好久。„Witcher...... thatyourinvestigation...... did the murdererhavelead?”
“猎魔人……那你的调查……凶手有线索了吗?”„Sorry, but alsono.”Royshakes the head, henotices the womanpalecomplexions and thinphysique of twochild, „Ishouldfirsttalk clearly the words, ifyouare willingto reply that myissue, Iwill giveyou an insignificantcondolence payments,”
“抱歉,还没有。”罗伊摇头,他注意到两个孩子和女人惨白的脸色、消瘦的体态,“我应该先把话说清楚,如果你愿意回答我的问题,我会给您一笔微不足道的慰问金,”Heswepttwochildren, „Ithink that youneedthissum of money...... the matterto passnowprobablyquite a fewmoon/month, no onecangiveyou a confession, someproperties, inadequaterespect.”
他扫了一眼两个小孩子,“我想你现在大概非常需要这笔钱……事情过去了好几个月,没人能给你们一个交代,些许财物,不成敬意。”
The womenheard that the wordstopped the weeping soundsuddenly, on the faceappeared a doubt, handed over the place that came——to spend is too manythataboutfiveCrownpursesuntilRoyseriously, hemustplan carefully.
女人闻言突然止住了哭声,脸上浮现出一丝狐疑,直到罗伊将那大约五克朗的钱袋郑重地递了过来——花钱的地方太多,他得精打细算。Which the womenthenalsomanagehisactuallyanythingstatus, is too busybowsto the youngster, saidtearfully,
女人这下哪还管他究竟什么身份,忙不迭地冲着少年鞠躬,泣不成声地说,„Thank, thankthisMr.Witcher, in the family/homegoes hungry, childhungrytwodays! Quickly, Colin, bowstoMr.Witcher!”
“感谢,感谢这位猎魔人老爷,家里都揭不开锅,孩子已经饿了两天!快,莉特,科林,给猎魔人老爷鞠躬!”„Mixedis so miserable? Did your husbandhave no deposit?”Royslows down the tone, takes advantage of opportunityto ask.
“混的这么惨?你丈夫生前没有任何储蓄?”罗伊放缓语气,顺势问道。Misahas not thought, the forced smile said that „Farquear'swagesare used foralso the home loanmostly, but must paymeandchild'sliving expense, every monthentersto be insufficient.”米莎没有多想,苦笑道,“法奎尔的工资大部分用来还房屋贷款,还要支付我和孩子的生活费用,每个月入都不敷出。”„Originallythisworldalsohas the mortgage slave and childslave.” The Royheartwhispered, hechatsspeaks thoughtlesslyto pullsays,
“原来这个世界也有房奴和孩奴。”罗伊心头嘀咕了一句,他又拉家常似随口扯道,„Properly speakinginVivaldithistypeworld-famous, the creditworthybigbankwork, the incomeshouldbe good. Yourfamily disciplineQuayle haven't 30 years old is, been ablealsoto end the loan?”
“照理说在维瓦尔第这种蜚声世界、信誉良好的大银行工作,收入应该不错。你家法奎尔三十来岁了,还没能还完贷款?”„Does not have the means.” The womenpatted themselves the heads of twochildren, the looklooked attheirbighouseto be lost in thoughtbehindslightly,
“没办法。”女人拍了拍自己身后两个小孩子的脑袋,眼神望着自家的大房子微微出神,„Ellanderis a bigcity, the priceis very high, butmehouseclose totown center, house priceexpensive/nobleastonishment, but alsofiveyearsstillhave a sum of moneynot to end.”
“艾尔兰德是座大城市,物价很高,而咱家更是靠近市中心的房子,房价贵的惊人,还了五年至今仍有一笔钱没有还完。”
The womenlisten tothissaying, in the eyeactuallyto flash through a hate, „is only......”sheis twistingboth handssuddenly, coy, made excuses.
女人听着这话,眼中却闪过一丝怨恨,“只是……”她突然绞着双手,扭扭捏捏,支支吾吾。
The Royheartmoves, hurries saying that „, ifhadwhatdifficult problemmight as well saying that listenstome, perhapsIcanhelpyou.”罗伊心头一动,赶紧说道,“如果有什么难题不妨说给我听听,没准我能帮你。”
The womenlower the headto hesitate the moment, „are youreallyWitcher?”
女人低下头沉吟了片刻,“您真的是猎魔人?”„InhearsayWitcherisMutant, without the sentiment...... is impossibleto give the irrelevantbereavedanythingcondolence payments, the attitudesowill not be amiablelikeyou.”
“传闻中猎魔人是变种人,没有感情……不可能给无关的死者家属什么慰问金,态度也不会像您这么平易近人。”„Thisis only the hearsay, Witcherhas advantages and disadvantages,”Roysaidsimplycandidly,„youonlyneedto know, Itoseveralwithout any malicious intent, Iindeedwantto discover the murderer.”
“这只是传闻,猎魔人有好有坏,”罗伊索性开诚布公地说,“你只需要知道,我对几位没有恶意,我的确想找出凶手。”Hestartsto think ofWitcherAxiiSignnow.
他现在开始想念猎魔人的亚克席法印。„If possible, Igive back toyoumoney,”womanis biting the lip, „givesyouagainsome, butare not many, Ihope that youcanhelpmy husbandscrub the infamy.”
“如果可以的话,我把钱还给您,”女人咬着嘴唇,“再给您一些,但不多,我希望您能帮我的丈夫洗刷污名。”„Infamy? Whatinfamy?” The Roysurpriselooked atwomanoneeyes.
“污名?什么污名?”罗伊诧异地看了女人一眼。„After Farqueardied, the bankrecoveredmy family'sinterest-free loan, but alsoslandershimto embezzle, has been hidingmoneysecretly.”
“法奎尔死掉后,银行就收回了我家的无息贷款,还污蔑他监守自盗,一直在偷偷藏钱。”
The womentrusthusband'smannerobviously, the complexionis excitedly red, „wherecanin the family/homehave the extramoney?

Moreoveruntil nowdiligenthonest, the reputationin the colleague is very good...... you to askcasually!”
女人显然非常信任丈夫的为人,激动地脸色通红,“可家里哪儿有多余的钱?我和他当了十来年的夫妻,我一清二楚,法奎尔就是个模范丈夫,每天下了班准时回家,从不在外面胡混,更没带回除了工资之外的一个铜子儿!而且一直以来勤恳老实,在同事里口碑很好……您可以随便去问!”„To be honest with you, respectablegeneral headquarterspresidentMr.Vivaldireceivedandpraisedhimface to face. Awardshim the honor of Vivaldimost outstandingstaff.”
“不瞒您说,尊敬的总行行长维瓦尔第先生曾经接见并当面嘉奖过他。授予他维瓦尔第最优秀员工的荣誉。”„Ido not believe that Farquearwill makethatembezzling public funds the matterto come!”
“我不相信法奎尔会做出那贪污公款的事来!”Royhas not accepted the money of woman.罗伊没有收下女人的钱。Statusinformation that hemustinvestigate the dead, does not wantto ask for moneyfrom a pitifulsingle motherhand.
他原本就要调查死者的身份信息,也不想从一个可怜的单身妈妈手里要钱。
The youngsterarrived atoutsideEllandercitybiggestVivaldi Bank, hidesin the outsidelane the staticwaiting.
少年来到了艾尔兰德城最大的维瓦尔第银行外,躲在外侧的巷子里静静等待。Untilhas the staffto startto leavein the afternoon, tags along after a middle-aged personquietly.
直到下午有员工开始离开,悄然尾随一个中年人。Becausehas not graspedWitcherAxii Sign, heuses the crudestdirectmethod, the gunnysackarbitrageto combine threats with inducementsin addition.
因为尚未掌握猎魔人的亚克席之印,他用最粗暴直接的手段,麻袋套头加上威逼利诱。Thatseniorstaffalsothinks that staredbyrecentserial killer, but alsowithoutstartingto interrogate and torturethento be frightenedto urinate, pours the beanto reveal the cause and effectgenerally.
那个老员工还以为被最近的连环杀手盯上,还没开始拷问便被吓出尿来,倒豆子一般吐露出前因后果。
The Royhearcannot bearsigh, the truthhas not been unfair toFarquearwith the statementclearlyopposite——bank of thatwoman.罗伊听完忍不住叹了口气,真相与那个女人的陈述截然相反——银行并没有冤枉法奎尔。
Before the Vivaldistaffgets off workeach time, tobe guardedto embezzleby the body search, Farquearactuallyhidinmoney the hidden compartment of restroomsecretly.维瓦尔第的员工每次下班前,都会被搜身检查以防贪污,法奎尔却偷偷把钱藏到了厕所的暗格里。What a pityhehad not found the opportunityto makemoney, was killed by mistreatment——by the murdereragainin the future, the newstafftook overhisaccountto find outthatstrangedebt, causedto be exposed.
可惜他还没找到机会把钱弄出来,就被凶手虐杀——再往后,新来的员工接手他的账目查出了那笔奇怪的亏空,导致东窗事发。„Farquearembezzled the property of bank.”
“法奎尔贪污了银行的财产。”Then the murdererkillshimisfor this reason, impartial and justHigher Vampire?
那么凶手杀他是因为这个原因吗,一个铁面无私的高阶吸血鬼?
......
……Understood the information that bank staff, Royarrives at the Ellandercity east——deadshapepitifulincomparablebeggarnonstopdaily„operational site”.
了解完银行职员的信息,罗伊又马不停蹄地来到艾尔兰德城东——死状凄惨无比的乞丐日常的“工作场所”。Easy, heinthisnearbyfound the opposite party„colleague”.
轻而易举,他在这附近找到了对方的“同事”。„Oh, Barr, Itenyears of brothers...... Ihowwantsto find a personto leanto stateabouthisbeing full of grievances, butYunckerhungrydid not have the strength saying that even if a character......”
“唉,老巴尔,我十年的兄弟……我多么想找个人倾述关于他的满腹牢骚,只是扬克已经饿的没有力气多说哪怕一个字……”
The in ragsbeggaris crooked the head, the fullyellow around the mouthtooth, a self-pityfromexpression, his onlyturned roundfullZangni, the darkhandactuallyto pushpushing the brokenbowltoward the youngsterin front ofquietly.衣衫褴褛的乞丐歪着脑袋、咧着满口黄牙,一副自怜自艾的表情,他那只覆满脏泥、黑乎乎的手却悄然把破碗往少年面前推了推。„Ding-dong”, severalbright yellowcopper coinrun upon the edge of wooden bowl, the beggarnarrowed the eyeinstantaneouslysame, the pug dogthrewto the youngsterin front, wantedto kisshisleather boots.
“叮咚”,几枚黄澄澄的铜币撞上木碗的边缘,乞丐瞬间眯起了眼睛,哈巴狗一样扑到少年面前,想要亲吻他的皮靴。Roywithdrew from a half stepto avoidhisattackbackward, thenwaves.罗伊向后退出了一小步避开他的袭击,接着挥了挥手。Thisway of the world, reallymoneyopening.
这世道,果然还是得金钱开路。„Do not waste the time, toldme, before yourgoodbrothers dead , whatunusualperformancehas?”
“别浪费时间,跟我说说,你的好兄弟死前有没有什么异常的表现?”YunckerquitetreasurenipsthatCrown, thenshakes the head, „Barris very normal, is lying downlike the pasthalf-dead. Had the guestto pass byto shaketwosores on the thigh, to cry outagainseveral, the appearancemustfeel sorry forpitifully.”
扬克颇为宝贝地咬了咬那枚克朗,接着摇头,“老巴尔很正常,还是像往日那样半死不活地躺着。有客人路过就抖抖两条烂腿、再叫唤几声,卖相要多可怜有多可怜。”„You are really hisgoodbrothers, appraisesverycritical.”
“你真是他的好兄弟,评价得很中肯。”Yunckereven morevigorously,
扬克越发起劲,„Hasthisline of food, whoisn'tis more pitiful than?”
“吃这行饭,比的不就是谁更可怜?”„Truly speaking, Iveryenvyhimto be lametwolegs to annoy the personto feel sorry formotionlessly, a day of incomecango against the beggarthreedays of our everywhereleaping updomain.”
“说实在的,我挺羡慕他瘸着两条腿一动不动就能惹人可怜,一天的收入能顶得上我们这种到处蹿地盘的乞丐三天。”„Heinbeggarhecan be the affluentabsolutely, lies downmotionlessis eating and drinkingdid not worry, plump and fair-complected that the personalsoraises.......

“他在乞丐里他绝对算得上富裕阶层,躺着不动就吃喝不愁,人也养的白白胖胖。只是……谁想的到一个晚上过去巷道里就找不见他的影子,人就这么不在了。而且听说死前很痛苦,活生生的人被一棵树给穿了进去……嘶……”Yunckershrank the neck, a facedreadscurses,
扬克缩了缩脖子,一脸畏惧地咒骂,„Murderersimplyis the lunatic and anomaly! Ifmurder casecontinues, Imustconsiderto leaveEllander, changes a placeto ask formeans of livelihood.”
“凶手简直是疯子和变态!如果凶杀案继续下去,我得考虑离开艾尔兰德,换个地方讨份活路。”„Ding-dong——”Roylostcopper coin, „illuminatedyou saying that hereceivedwellalsodoes not have the highexpense, usually can definitely accumulate the nextsum of money?”
“叮咚——”罗伊又丢了一枚铜子儿,“照你说,他收入不错又没有高昂的消费,平时肯定能攒下一笔钱?”
The beggarspick upmoneywith joy, shakes the head.
乞丐喜滋滋地捡起钱币,摇头。„Do youknow? Ourbeggarsmustpay taxesto the organization. ButBarrdeliveredmoney beyond the living expenses‚unselfishly’. Therefore‚Beggar Gang’ the elderhas appreciated his money treevery much, greetsspecially, in the help/gang the brothersno onedareto bullyhim.”
“您知道吗?咱们乞丐要向组织缴税的。而老巴尔‘大公无私地’把生活费以外的钱都上交了。为此‘乞丐帮’的长老一直很欣赏他这棵摇钱树,专门打了招呼,帮里兄弟没人敢欺负他。”„Whatpersonal enemy does , orbadhobby?”
“那有没有什么仇人,或者不良嗜好?”
The beggarsare narrowing the eye, blurted out, „thisfellowwas disinclinedto haggle overwithanybody, the personal enemyhas not heard. Heusuallyinexcept foreating mealto drink water, othertimein‚corpse’, are still very disinclinedTavern and gamblingwork placeto look for a pleasureevenrichly. Iam pondering over, to him, sleepsprobablyis the biggestjoy!”
乞丐眯着眼睛,脱口而出道,“这家伙懒得跟任何人计较,仇人没听说过。他平日里除了吃饭喝水,其他时间都在‘挺尸’,就算有钱也懒得去酒馆、赌坊找点乐子。我琢磨着,对他而言,大概睡觉就是最大的快乐!”
The Roycomplexionsurprise, in the worldreallyhasthisperson, is obviously rich, actuallyseemsnotwantsnotto strive, makes merrycontinuallyis disinclinedto begin?罗伊脸色诧异,世界上真有这种人,明明有钱,却好似无欲无求,连吃喝玩乐都懒得动手?„Was together for tenyears, how do youappraiseBarr?”
“相处了十年,你怎么评价老巴尔?”„Youspoke are really genteel, a beggar, was notbigshotdiscussed that whatappraised?”Yunckerhearsword, stroked gently the chinto ponderfinallyformallyquite a while said that
“你说话真是文绉绉的,一个乞丐,又不是大人物谈什么评价?”扬克闻言,终于正儿八经地摩挲着下巴思考了半天才说,„Lazy! Mythisdoes not have the culturedoes not know how shoulddescribe...... in briefhimalreadylazilytocertainboundary. Initially the elderthought that he‚really’, wantedto enjoy his manual labor, finallyBarrnever imaginedto reject, whatadded‚, sincelay downcanmoneyZhuan, but alsoworkedfrom early to late, wassilly’?”
“懒!我这个没文化的也不知道该怎么形容……总之他已经懒到一定的境界。当初长老觉得他‘实在’,想要赏他一份活计,结果巴尔想都没想就拒绝,还说什么‘既然躺着就能把钱赚,还起早贪黑工作,是不是傻’?”„Ithinkwas very long, Ithought that hiswordsmake some sense. Ifmydailyincomehashisso many, is very merry!”
“我想了了很久,我觉得他的话有一定道理。如果我每天的收入有他那么多,别提有多快活!”Royleavesin the Yunckerlongingvision, soughtseveralbeggars, obtainedreplypretty close, Barrthiscripple, in the beggarrow on given name of entireEllandercity, hislazinesswell-known.罗伊在扬克恋恋不舍的眼光中离开,又去寻了几个乞丐,得到的回答八九不离十,老巴尔这个瘸子,在整个艾尔兰德城的乞丐界都排的上名号,他的懒众所周知。If the bank workersarebecause the embezzlementwealthstared, was actually thatoldandlamebeggarBarrwhereoffended the murderer?
如果说银行员工是因为贪污钱财才被盯上,那又老又瘸的乞丐巴尔又究竟啥地方得罪了凶手?Difficultto be inadequate the murderer unable to get used to seeing his to mixto eatto wait for death, the appearance of inbornspineless person?
难不成凶手看不惯他那副混吃等死,天生软骨头的模样?Roypondered over the moment, had a clue, butis unascertainable, heinformation that prepares the crown princetemporary palaceto understand the servant.罗伊思忖了片刻,有了一点头绪,但还不能确定,他准备去亲王行宫了解仆人的信息。

即将动身之际,猛然想起老哈克的面包房不就在这附近。WhoisHarker? Fourmonths ago, thatsonby the old man who Arachnomorphkills.
谁是老哈克?四个多月前,那位儿子被变形蛛害死的老头。Alsodoes not know how the opposite partypassesnow, investigates thoroughlysonsword cutto originate?
也不知道对方现在过得咋样,有没有查清楚儿子身上的剑伤来源?
