或许你仍然胸有成竹吧!
lt ought to be very simple for you.

… 但是我们没有直接回家 这就是为什么
…but we didn’t go straight home. That’s why.
是不是可以说在ll点和ll点半之间

我们知道 整条路都很暗 她非常害伯

你绝对肯定是一个神父?
But you are absolutely sure he was a priest?
我敢确定
Yes.
谢谢，你们可以走了
Thank you. You may go now.
小朋友 我希望你们别将这件事告诉任何人
Oh, my little ones, l do not want you to say anything to anyone about this.

墨菲 我要你去调查一下城里的每个教区…
Murphy, l want you to check every rectory in town…
…看昨天晚上哪一个神父很晚外出
…and find out which priests were out late last night.
是 先生
Yes, sir.
当然 真是荒谬 竟然牵涉到一个神父
Of course, it’s absurd that a priest would be involved.
-你真的以为是一个神父干的? -是 可能是
-You don’t really think it could be a priest? -Yes, maybe.
-谁? -我得确认一下
-Who? -l have to make sure.
-我得进一步调查之后才能告诉你 -别神秘兮兮的

他把所有的时间都放在教区上
Most of his time is given to his parishioners.
有人在星期二晚上和他在一起吗?
Was he with one on Tuesday night?
我不知道他在哪里和他做了些什么…
l have no idea where he was or what he did…
…但是我敢确定 他不会做坏事的
…but l’m perfectly sure it’s all right.
他自己也会这样跟你说的 请进
He will tell you so himself. Come in.
-早安 洛根神父 -早
-Good evening, Father Logan. -Good evening.
我想我们的会客室给这位警♥察♥局来的先生一个印象…
l believe this room has given this gentleman from the police department…
…那就是我们用油漆在隐藏底下的污垢 不过 墨菲先生 事实不是如此
…the idea that we hide grime with paint, but it is not so, Mr. Murphy.
我们已经确定油漆底下的墙面没有污点
We have made certain that the walls underneath are spotless.
我对此没有疑问 神父 抱歉打扰你 神父
l don’t question that, Father. Sorry to bother you, Father.
不打扰 我能为你做什么?
lt’s no bother. What can l do for you?
