Last night,there was a murder in West Town. The Class 1,Grade 9 students are reading about it in the newspaper. Here is the article.
昨天晚上，在西镇发生了一起谋杀案。9年1班的同学们正在报纸上阅读这篇文章。这就是这篇文章。
25-year-old Computer Engineer Murdered25岁的电脑工程师被杀
Early today,the body of a 25-year-old man was found in West Town. The police have codirmed that the victim was a computer engineer. He was last seen leaving his office in East Town at about 7 p.m. yesterday. He said he was going to visit Hs parents.
今天一大早，一个25岁男人的尸体在西镇被发现。警察证实受害者是一名电脑工程师。他最后被看见是昨天晚上七点离开东镇的办公室。他说他要去看他的父母。
The police believe that the murder took place between 9 p.m. last night and I a.m. this morning. They are still working at the scene of the crime to find out whether the victim was killed somewhere else and then brought to West Town,or killed at the place where he was found.
警察认为谋杀案发生在昨天晚上9点和今早1点之间。他们仍然在研究犯罪现场为了找到受害者是否是在别的地方被杀然后被带到西镇的，还是在发现他的地方被杀。
"We're asking anyone who saw anything unusual near Corn Street last night to contact us," said Detective Lu, West Town's chief detective. "The victim was wounded with a knife and bled to death as a result. We're now checking the scene for more clues which will help solve the case. "
“我们要求昨天晚上在谷街看见任何不寻常事情的人来联系我们，”鲁侦探说，他是西镇的首席警官。“受害人是被一把刀刺伤的，结果失血过多而死。我们正在检查现场，查找更多有助于侦破此案的线索。”
The police are also wondering if the victim had any enemies. He was single. He had many friends and a well-paid job. However,according to the record, he was guilty of computer crimes in the past.
警察也想知道这个受害者是否有仇人。他是单身。他有许多朋友和一份高收入的工作。然而，根据记录，他在过去犯过电脑方面的罪。
"He was charged with breaking into several computer systems over the last year,"said Detective Lu. "We're not sure whether this made him any enemies. We suppose that the victim knew his murderer. "
“他被指控在去年一年中强行入侵几台电脑系统，”鲁侦探说。“我们不确定这件事是否让他树敌。我们推断受害人认识凶手。”
So far,the only suspect is a short thin man who was seen running down Corn Street at 10 p.m. last night. A witness reported that he was breathing heavily and had blood on his shirt. However, the suspect could prove that he was somewhere else at the time of the crime and insisted that he was not guilty.
到目前为止，只有一个矮瘦的犯罪嫌疑人，他被看见昨天晚上10：00沿着谷街跑。证人说他的呼吸很沉重而且衬衫土有血。然而，犯罪嫌疑人能证明在犯罪的时间里他在别的地方而且坚持说他是无罪的。
The victim's parents have offered a reward of ￥50,000 for any information that leads to the arrest of the murderer. Anyone who can provide useful information should contact the police.
受害人的父母已经提供5万元人民币对任何提供线索抓获凶手的人给予奖励。任何能提供有用信息的人应该和警察联系。
