外教讲解地道美语 第218期:犯罪现场

Detective MeGee: Alright,Officer  McGraw,Give it to me straight, what are we looking at here?

McGraw: Detective  MeGee! We’re glad to see you!  We could sure use your expertise on this  one. It’s  a  break-in, but nothing seems to have been stolen.  We received a call from the Bear family at around ten thirty this morning.  They had gone out for a walk before breakfast and came  home  to  this  mess! Broken chairs and porridge all  over  the  place! Apparently, Momma Bear had made the porridge a little too hot, you see, and they were waiting for it to cool down.

Detective MeGee:Okay then, let’s start examining the evidence. . . Have the forensics team been in yet?

McGraw:Yes sir. They found some fingerprints on the bowls and are analyzing them back at the lab as we speak. Hopefully, they will be able to identify the burglar soon.

Detective MeGee: Hmmmm,Ah  ha! What’s this?   A strand  of  golden hair. . .  this is a very important  piece  of  trace  evidence ，McGraw.  It tells me the suspect has long golden hair. . . very  few  men have long golden hair... our  criminal  could  be  a woman...

McGraw: A woman? Was she working alone? Did she have an accomplice?

Detective MeGee: An accomplice? No, no .McGraw,  she   was   definitely  working  alone.   See here, there are footprints in the  porridge,  here  on  the floor... footprints, tells me that our suspect is small. . . could possibly be a child.

McGraw: A child? Surely not, sir. . .

Detective MeGee: We  must  follow  the  clues, McGraw! The  evidence doesn’t lie! Now, let’s reconstruct  the  crime. . . the suspect came in, sat in each chair breaking the smallest one into little pieces.  Next, the porridge.  she obviously tried to eat it and because it was so hot, she dropped it on the floor. . . .  this mess.interesting. These footprints seem to lead upstairs.  McGraw, did your officers clear the scene?

McGraw: Well, there was no one down here. . .  and maybe we forget to check upstairs.

Goldylocks:  Hey!  What’s  with  all  the noise? I’m trying to sleep up here!

Detective MeGee: There she is! Get her!
