CHAPTER 11 Dink felt himself blushing as everyone outside the garage turned to look at everyone inside. The trailer stood a few yards away Through a thick mesh screen, Dink saw Ollie and Polly "Say what's going on here?" Harvey Fowler asked. "Hey wait a minute," his wife said. "They were at the block party! What's this all about, Mr. Evans?" "I'm not Mr. Evans," Detective Costello said. He pulled his wallet out and flipped open his
当车库外的人都转过头来看着里面的人时,丁克觉得自己的脸都红了。 拖车就在几码远的地方,丁克透过一层厚厚的网眼看到了奥利和波莉。“说说这是怎么回事?”哈维·福勒问。 “嘿,等一下,”他的妻子说。 “他们在街区聚会上!”这是怎么回事,埃文斯先生?”“我不是埃文斯先生,”科斯特洛警探说。 他掏出钱包,打开自己的
badge. "I'm Detective Frank Costello, New York City Police Department." Detective Costello nodded at Dr. Parker, who walked over to the trailer. Dink watched him take out a pair of scissors and snip a few hairs from Ollie's arm. Then Dr. Parker went back into the garage. Detective Frost took a plastic bag from inside her jacket. Through it, Dink recognized the Polaroid picture of the painting. "I'm sure we'll find your fingerprints all over this photograph," she told Harvey Fowler. "Recognize it?" Harvey Fowler glanced down at the picture. Dink saw his Adam's apple go up and down. "So? Big deal. What's wrong with having a picture? I've got lots of pictures." "Trouble is, you have one picture too many," Detective Costello said. "You taught your ape to steal the painting in this photograph."
徽章。“我是纽约市警察局的弗兰克·科斯特洛警探。” 科斯特洛探长朝医生点点头。 帕克,他向拖车走去。 丁克看着他拿出一把剪刀,从奥利的胳膊上剪下几根头发。 然后帕克医生回到了车库。 弗罗斯特警探从她外套里拿出了一个塑料袋。 通过它,丁克认出了这幅画的宝丽来照片。 “我相信我们会在这张照片上找到你的指纹,”她告诉哈维·福勒。 “认识吗?”哈维·福勒低头看了一眼那幅画。 丁克看到他的喉结上下起伏。 “所以呢?大不了的。有照片有什么不好? 我有很多照片。” “问题是,你的照片太多了,”科斯特洛警探说。 “你教你的猿猴偷了这张照片里的画。”
Harvey Fowler smirked, showing a gold tooth. "I got one word for you: proof. You got any?" Dr. Parker walked back to the group. "I think so," he said. "The hairs match. The ones I just snipped from Ollie are the same as the one found in Mr. Duncan's kitchen. They're both like the hair the kids found in front of the apartment building." "Thank you, Dr. Parker," Detective Frost said. She looked at Harvey and Ginny Fowler. "You're both under arrest for grand theft." "We didn't steal nothing and you can't prove we did!" Harvey Fowler yelled. "I can't help it if Ollie took some dumb painting."
哈维·福勒得意地笑着,露出一颗金牙。 “我给你一个词:证据。 你有吗?”帕克医生走回人群。 “我想是的,”他说。“头发匹配。 我刚从奥利身上剪下来的和在邓肯先生厨房里找到的一模一样。 它们都像孩子们在公寓楼前发现的头发。” “谢谢你,帕克医生,”弗罗斯特警探说。 她看着哈维和金妮·福勒。 "你们俩都因重大盗窃罪被捕了" “我们什么也没偷,你也不能证明我们偷了!”哈维·福勒喊道。 “如果奥利拿了一幅愚蠢的画,我也没办法。”
"Give it up," sighed Ginny Fowler to her husband. "It's over." She turned to Detective Frost. "Everything you said is true. Harvey's cousin works for an insurance company in Paris. Last week, he insured a Monet painting. When he saw that it was being shipped to New York, he took a snapshot and sent it to us. He also sent the address where the painting was going." "Ginny, be quiet!" Harvey shouted. "We'll get outta this. I got another cousin who's a lawyer." Mrs. Fowler ignored her husband. "Anyway, when Harvey saw the balconies on the back of Mr. Duncan's building, he trained Ollie to climb up there," she said. "The painting is hidden in the trailer." Detectives Costello and Frost handcuffed the Fowlers. Then everyone walked over to the trailer. It was divided in half. Ollie sat on one side, gazing out through the wire. On the other side, Polly stood munching hay. She didn't seem interested in what was going on in the human world. "Where is it, exactly?" Detective Frost asked Ginny Fowler.
“放弃吧。”金妮·福勒对丈夫叹了口气。 “这是结束了。”她转向弗罗斯特侦探。 “你说的都是真的。 哈维的表弟在巴黎的一家保险公司工作。 上周,他为一幅莫奈的画投保。 当他看到它被运往纽约时,他拍了张照片发给了我们。 他还把这幅画的地址发给了我。” “金妮,安静!”哈维喊道。 “我们会离开这里的。我还有一个堂兄是律师。” 福勒太太不理睬她的丈夫。 “不管怎么说,当哈维看到邓肯先生房子后面的阳台时,他训练奥利爬上去,”她说。 “这幅画藏在拖车里。” 科斯特洛警探和弗罗斯特警探给福勒夫妇戴上了手铐。 然后大家都走向拖车。 它被分成了两半。奥利坐在一边,透过铁丝凝视着外面。 另一边,波莉站在那儿大嚼干草。 她似乎对人类世界发生的事情不感兴趣。 “它到底在哪儿?”弗罗斯特侦探问金妮·福勒。
"There's a false bottom in Ollie's cage," Mrs. Fowler said. "You'll find a handle under the straw." Detective Costello looked at Josh. "You want to climb in there, kid?" Josh gulped. "Um, sure. He won't hurt me, will he?" Ginny Fowler smiled at Josh. "Go ahead. Ollie likes kids." Detective Frost opened the trailer's rear door and Josh crawled in. Ollie shuffled over and smelled Josh's hair. Josh moved some of the straw and found a small, round handle. He tugged and a part of the floor lifted up.
“奥利的笼子里有个假底,”福勒太太说。 “你会在稻草下面找到一个把手。” 科斯特洛警探看着乔希。 “你想爬进去吗,孩子?”杰克一饮而尽。 “嗯,当然。他不会伤害我吧?”金妮·福勒朝乔什笑了笑。 ”继续。奥利喜欢孩子。” 弗罗斯特警探打开拖车的后门,乔希爬了进去。 奥利拖着脚步走过去,闻了闻乔希的头发。 乔希移动了一些稻草,发现了一个小圆把手。 他用力一拉,地板的一部分被抬了起来。
Just then, a taxi pulled up next to the trailer. A short man with a brown beard stepped out. "Warren, who are all these people? What's going on?" Uncle Warren shook Forest Evans's hand. "Welcome home, Forest. Make us a pot of tea, and we'll tell you the whole story!"
就在这时,一辆出租车停在了拖车旁边。 一个留着棕色胡子的矮个子男人走了出来。 “沃伦,这些人都是谁?” 发生了什么事?”沃伦叔叔握了握福里斯特·埃文斯的手。 “欢迎回家,福雷斯特。给我们沏一壶茶,我们就把事情的来龙去脉告诉你!”
