福尔摩斯：基本演绎法 第一季第10集 The Leviathan（20）

警官 我们要进入这栋建筑

Officer, we need to get into the building.

抱歉 伙计 没人能进

Sorry, pal¹, no can do.

调查进行中

This is an active investigation².

我知道 我是纽约警局的顾问

Yes. I'm a consultant³ with the NYPD,

我要跟这楼里的一位房客谈谈

and I need to speak to one of the tenants⁴.

他的名字是贾斯丁·格思里

His name is Justin Guthrie.

你说格思里

You said Guthrie

似的 要我拼给你吗 G

Yes. Shall I spell it for you G...

不 考虑到我们正是为他而来

No, but considering he's the one we're here for,

你可能应该找位警探谈谈

you might want to talk to one of the detectives.

格思里先生刚刚从窗户跳下去

Mr. Guthrie jumped out the window

从窗口跳楼身亡了

of his apartment a little while ago.

管辖区的警探说这是自杀

So the precinct detective says this is a suicide,

但你却说是他偷了那价值四千万的钻石

but you think that he stole $40 million in diamonds

而且因此被害

and then got killed behind it

有什么根据

So what's the story

显然 这里发生过厮打

Obviously, a violent altercation⁵ took place.

有血迹为证

Blood evidence.

我和华生小姐发现的

Myself and Miss Watson found it

然后做了仔细的检查

and examined it closely.

血液飞溅的形态表明这是猛击所致的

Spatter pattern indicates it's a high forced event.

他的意思是有人被打中鼻子后留下的

He's saying the blood came from someone who was hit in the nose.

好吧 这值得调查

Okay. It's worth looking into.

但我还不明白这和盗窃案有何联系

I still don't see the connection to that robbery.

你过来的时候 我正好在思考这个问题

I was just thinking about that when you arrived.

答案当然就在那些花瓶里

The answer, of course, lies in those vases.

这两个花瓶里都有三层装饰石

These two has three layers of decorative⁶ rock,

每层颜色不同

each one a different color.

这个只有两层

This one has two layers,

但从玻璃上的矿物残留可以看出

but the mineral residue⁷ on the glass indicates

它直到最近都是满的

that it was full till very recently.

斯瓦巴特交易所失窃的宝石里

Many of the stones stolen

很多都是未切割的粗钻石

from the Svalbard Exchange were uncut diamonds.

看上去正好和装饰石非常相似

They happen to look exactly like decorative rocks.

如果你刚偷了一些粗钻石

Now, if you'd just stolen some,

这个花瓶就是窝藏赃物的最佳地点

this vase would be an ideal hiding place.
