Pt. 1

謝赫北和單婧媛被一伙記者簇擁著。

“行了！行了！別擠著了！要干正事！”韓智睿和一伙人把記者推開。“您們二位先上車等我。乃輝！張季昌！你們幫忙擋著點這幫記者！”

突破了重重人群的阻礙，三人終于跑上了警車。

“您們是剛坐飛機趕來的？”

“是的，警官。”剛才黑壓壓的記者人群差點擠得謝赫北喘不過氣，“我是謝赫北，從晉椿過來的（原型晉城）；這位是單婧媛，是澳大利亞華裔。我們兩個在機場碰見了，就尋思著一起去找陳導，結果收到了他的微信說尹姝祥出事了，我們就趕緊過來了。”

“您們看到那些相關的新聞熱搜了嗎？”

“我在出租車上看手機才看見的，”單婧媛用還算熟練的中文說道，“里面只是提到了Shirley死亡的地點，但是沒有提及任何信息。所以，她真的是被殺的嗎？”

“這一點我們暫時不能披露，詳情還是等警方通報吧。”韓智睿說道，“問一下子，您們的航班都是什么時間？”

謝赫北回答：“我是凌晨三點半起飛，然后今天早上七點多降落。”

單婧媛說：“我是昨天晚上——十點半的飛機，降落時間是七點二十差不多。降落后就在航站樓碰到了Harry，我們就一起出來了。”

“明白了。那么單女士，您之前認識尹姝祥嗎？”

“之前和Shirley合拍過一些劇目，所以有一些聯系。”

“在案發的這一段時間你們有聯系嗎？盡量講具體一些。”

“沒有。我問過Ethan——就是陳義東導演，他在手機上說尹姝祥缺席了，他會和副導演負責聯系她。而且我們雖說有聯系，但是真的，不算太頻繁。”

“那么謝赫北先生，您呢？”

“我和她其實是同一所大學畢業的。那會開始我們就算是好朋友的關系。案發前一段時間我們還有過聯系。聽說我們會在一個劇組會面之后，我倆都很高興。具體一點的話——差不多昨天中午她發微信告訴我她上車了。中間還發了兩張在高鐵上拍的風景照。但是我昨晚六點多我問她有沒有到霖水，她就沒回過我了。”

“謝謝您。”韓警官按下了手機錄音的暫停鍵。

Pt. 2

“那些人都來齊了嗎？”韓警官在會議室門口問孫青城。

“除了攝影團隊的還有其他部門的人都來齊了，攝影組的人還沒來，而其他部門的人不住在同一個酒店。那些人我已經讓乃輝和季昌帶人去打聽了。這次請來的幾個人都是當晚住在同一個酒店的。不過——您英語怎么樣？”

“還可以，咋了？”

“他們當中有幾名是美國人。”

“美國人咋了，你把法國人叫過來都行。總而言之，這次問訊的主要對象就是除了總導演和編劇以外的其他人。你再叮囑一下他們幾個人，要問的那些問題的側重點。”

“收到。”

第一個走進會議室的是副導演武志衡。

“您好，武先生。”

“您好，韓警官。”

“這次請您來，我想要了解一下幾方面事情。可以嗎？”

“沒問題的。您隨便問。”

“尹姝祥這位演員是您指定的嗎？”

“是的。我們這個電影需要一名外柔內剛型的女性角色，要帶有幾分憂郁氣質——這個角色是受害者的姐姐。我之前看過她出演的電影《懸崖孤魂》，認為她很適合這個角色，因此欽點了她。于丹利還有周旭柯一致認為她很合適。她也很爽快地答應了。”

“在此之前您和她熟嗎？”

“真不算太熟。”武志衡擺了擺手。

“昨天是您一直在聯系她嗎？”

“我和義東都有聯系她。不過我應該算是最后一個聯系她的。”

“那些聊天記錄有沒有什么不對勁？”

武志衡翻出手機回看了一下。“沒有。”

“可以讓我看一看聊天記錄嗎？”

“沒問題。”武志衡把手機遞給了韓警官。一分鐘之后，韓警官把手機還給了他。

“說到陳義東，您這次是和他第一次合作？”

“對。在這之前我完全不認識他。”

“尹姝祥坐的高鐵車票是她自己定的嗎？”

“不是，演職人員的車票機票都是影視公司統一訂的。”

“您是什么時候到的霖水呢？”

“前天就來了。坐高鐵來的。”

“那么昨天您的行程可以說一說嗎？”

“我想想啊——我早上先和導演團隊商量了一些事，中午去和影視公司的人聊了會。下午就是和義東去機場接了于丹利先生，在房間里睡了幾個小時覺就去樓下和他們開會了。”

“了解到了。謝謝您的配合，武先生。”

“應該的。”二人握了一下手。武志衡走出了會議室。

“下一位是——Roger Carmichael Arbuthnot，還有Emily Flora Arbuthnot。讓他們一起進來吧。”韓警官對門外的孫青城吩咐道。

Roger和Emily一起走進了會議室。

“Good morning，sir and madam. Well，I have to ask you not less than three questions.”

“OK. Just ask us.”Arbuthnot夫人回答道。

“How did you get to the city?”

“By train，indeed. We had just been on our vacation in another city.”

“What's the city called?”

“It's called 'Panjan' something or other，I guess so.”Arbuthnot夫人想了一想。

“I think you mean 'Pangjiang'（龐江，原型珠江）. Hum，well then，nothing profound. So，when did your train arrive?”

“Around 4 pm yesterday. Then we got on the car Mr. Chan provided us.”Roger搓了搓他右手虎口，說道。

“I see it. The last one，does anyone between you，sir and madam，know anything about Ms. Yin?”

“Before this affair?”

“Absolutely.”

“Well，I know one thing or two about her.”Arbuthnot先生打了個噴嚏，“Salu…I used to cooperate with her to produce some of her albums. You know，she's also a pop singer. I was under obligation to arrange and mix the tracks in the records. Nevertheless，there's nothing more I could say about her.”

“And then，Mrs. Arbuthnot，does you?”

Arbuthnot夫人搖了搖頭。

“OK，and that's all. Thank you for your cooperation. Wish you have a nice day.”

“It's our pleasure， sir.”Arbuthnot先生站起身來，再次和韓警官握了握手。

夫妻二人一同走了出去。

“下一位是——演員James Franklin Lombardo。讓他進來吧。”

James一邊打哈欠一邊進了會議室，擺弄著他脖子上掛的銀飾品。。

“Good morning，Mr. Lombardo. You don't seem to sleep well last night.”

“You observed it. It's all the naughty mosquitoes' fault.Lemme show you.”他擼起襯衫袖子，露出了胳膊上被咬的三四個紅點。

“Surely the mosquitoes are annoying.”韓警官苦笑道，“I was stung by a venomous one this morning too. You see it.”韓警官給他看了看手背，那一大塊包還沒有完全消下去。

“Hum，we're outta luck.**** the room 4016.”

“Haha. Well，it's time to start our premier task. Do you mind to ask you several questions?”

“Not at all.”

“How did you get to the city，Mr. Lombardo?”

“No doubt I get here by the air. I took the plane from Detroit.”

“When did the plane land?”

“Yesterday-----10:30 am I guess.”

“Did you acquaint yourself to Shirley Yin before she's dead?”

“No. I didn't even heard of her name before Chan invited me.”

“Why did he invite you?”

“He said there's a role of an FBI agent in his next film. He thought I'm appropriate to the position.”

“Got it. Thanks sir.”

會議室里再次只剩下了韓警官。過了十幾秒，Fred Raymond進了插著褲兜，沒好氣地進了會議室。

“Good morning，Mr. Raymond.”

“Good morning.”Raymond冷冷地回答，沒有正眼看他，坐下之后就一直盯著桌上放的綠植看。

“You seem to be very angry.”

“That's irrelevant to you.”Raymond還是冷冷的語氣。

“I guess you used to be a police or a soldier in US.”

“How did you get that?”Raymond總算正眼看了韓警官一次。

“The dent on your right hand. I think a gun had callused there. Besides，a round scar on your left shoulder is revealed----it should be done by a bullet.”韓警官不緊不慢地說。

“You win. I used to join the army，actually. I retired from army after I got hurt on my shoulder.”

“Then you began to play some fierce roles in some films.”

“Totally.”Raymond摸了摸他的絡腮胡，盯著韓警官看，“I should say，you've got two ELECTRIC EYES.That word's taken from Judas Prrriest's songs.”

“Maybe a cool song，I think.”韓警官笑了笑，“Well，I have to ask you something about the affair.”

Raymond沒有說話。

“The first one. I guess you arrived the city by air，right?”

“You're wrong. I got here by a coach. I'm to visit a friend living in the country. He's in Shenping now.”

“深萍（原型深圳），a splendid city. When did you arrive the city----I mean，Linshui?”

“About 12:00 yesterday. Then I went to the hotel and chatted with Chan. I went down to the restaurant and had the meeting about 5 pm.”

“Alright. Did you know about the victim，Shirley Yin，before the case happened?”

Raymond沉默了。

“Nothing.”

“OK. Sir. Then we come to the end of the talking. Have a nice day， sir. Goodbye.”

“OK.”Raymond站起身，繼續看著韓警官，“Additionally，sir，you're so different----so far.”
