[民国奇探][乔楚生x路垚]烈士之死17(2)
路垚看了看手里的酒杯,像聊家常一样说:“伯爵比较忙,想托我转告你,他不喜欢被利用,更不喜欢被卷进有辱家族名誉的事情。”
诺曼笑了两声:“I’m afraid there must be some misunderstanding. I hope you haven’t misled his lordship as to my intentions. If that were the case, I would certainly have to take offense.”(恐怕有什么误会。我希望你们没有故意误导伯爵大人,不然我会感到被冒犯。)
“伯爵大人并不需要我们的引导,这是他自己得出的结论。”路垚脸上已经没有了任何笑意。
乔楚生也一直在看着诺曼,此时沉声道:“我们已经把结案报告交到了费信惇先生(公共租界工部局总董)的手里,里面细述了案件的所有细节。”
诺曼眼中闪过一丝异样,同样敛去了笑,说:“费信惇是美国人,我是英国人,你们的话怎么说?我们井水不犯河水。”
话说到这个份上基本上已经算是撕破脸了。路垚和乔楚生对视了一眼,该说的已经都说了,两人同时起身。诺曼见此也站了起来。
路垚整了整西装,语气平稳:“The British are not above the law, Mr. Norman.”(英国人不是凌驾于法律之上的,诺曼先生。)
诺曼露出了不屑的表情:“And what law have I broken, Mr. Lu?”(请问我违反了哪条法律,路先生?)
乔楚生开口,字句清晰,充满警告:“We are not here to arrest you. We are here to warn you.”(我们不是来逮捕你的。我们是来警告你。)
“Warn me? You, warn me?”诺曼脸上满是讥嘲。(警告?你,警告我?)
“There’s such a thing as overconfidence, Mr. Norman.”(不要过分自信,诺曼先生)路垚的语气听不出一丝波澜:“If you try to stick your finger in every pie in the International Settlement, one of these days, it will get burnt.”(如果公共租界的所有利益你都想插手,总有一天你会弄巧成拙。)
