I had co<\/em>ncerns to post intermediate to advanced level stories on this blog before. Not that I was not co<\/em>nfident in my respectful learner friends’ language level, it was more of a co<\/em>ncern for not-so-advanced-yet learners who wanted to try something harder. If I stretch the vocabulary table to cover beginner’s need, it will be toooo long! If I don’t, unless they know how to use a capture-and-translate tool, it’ll be too much work to read through.<\/p>\n

Now I don’t have this co<\/em>ncern anymore. A hearty thanks to Mandarinspot.com to offer the lovely popup annotation that helps so much with lookup chores!!<\/p>\n

A short vocabulary table is still provided to highlight certain key words that might be a bit difficult to learn.<\/p>\n

Then what this story is all a<\/em>bout?<\/p>\n

It’s a mystery. As you might guess out from the name of the story, it deals with a crime, and how the crime got investigated and finally solved. I was inspired by the investigation of a real criminal case  happened in modern China. And I felt like it could turn into a very good story. Yes, there are traces of every crime that human committed. No matter how deliberately the sinners tried to conceal, the trace of sin will sell them out in the end. This is my note here to help you understand the title of the story: \u7f6a\u6076\u6709\u75d5 zuì’è y\u01d2u hén – Traces of Sin.<\/p>\n

This is a serial o<\/em>nline story that I post as I go. I’ll try to updat as fast as I can (three to four posts a week?) But don’t be mad with me if I lag behind a bit some time. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Again, any help with my English translation is very well welcomed! Audio will be made for this story, but later!<\/p>\n

Now, let’s get started …<\/p>\n

Traces of Sin  1<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the midsummer of the southern cities, it was so hot and damp that there wasn’t even the hint of a breeze.<\/p>\n

The fan in the room kept spinning tirelessly in a cracking tone. It’s probably true that when our brain works in full power, it would make a cracking sound just like that.<\/p>\n

The woman sitting beside the window had curly hair that dyed in Brown. She stared into a certain spot on the window sill, trying her best to recall all that had happened in the early morning.<\/p>\n

A man on her side reassured her, “Don’t worry, we will keep your identity absolutely confidential. As for this armed robbery, you probably are the o<\/em>nly person who witnessed the robbers’ look. Although we’ve just finished our interview, you might as well run through the whole event again to help you recall all the details.”<\/p>\n

The woman nodded. She’s smart and calm. A job of an insurance agent, not that much of a likable occupation, had trained her to remember people’s appearance extremely well.<\/p>\n

“Due to the far location of my client, I had to get out very early this morning. Before dawn, I’ve already driven o<\/em>nto highway 131.”<\/p>\n

“Were there many cars on the road at that time?” the man asked her while taking down notes.<\/p>\n

“Not really. It’s always an easy drive on that road in Sundays.”<\/p>\n

“Go ahead please.”
