“How are you feeling? I’ve been shot three times while wearing a bulletproof vest. This shouldn’t be anything serious,” he said.

“感覺怎么樣？穿防彈衣中槍我有過三次，應(yīng)該沒有太大的事?！笔窂娬f。

“Da Shi, you saved my life,” Luo Ji said weakly.

“大史，你救了我的命?！绷_輯無力地說。

Shi Qiang waved a hand. “This happened because we fell down on the job. We didn’t take timely and effective protection measures. We have to do what you say. It’s over now, though.”

史強擺了下手，“出了這事，應(yīng)該算是我們的失職吧，當(dāng)時，我們沒有采取最有效的保衛(wèi)措施，我們只能聽你的，現(xiàn)在沒事了?！?/p>

“And the other three?”

“他們?nèi)齻€呢？”羅輯問。

Shi Qiang knew immediately who he was referring to. “They’re fine. They weren’t as careless as you, walking out alone.”

大史馬上就明白他指的是誰，“都很好，他們沒有你這么輕率，一個人走到外面?！?/p>

“Does the ETO want to kill us?”

“是ETO要殺我們嗎？”

“Probably. The assailant has been detained. It’s a good thing we set up a snake-eye behind you.”

“應(yīng)該是吧，兇手已經(jīng)被捕了，幸虧我們在你后面布置了蛇眼?！?/p>

“A what?”

“什么？”

“A precise radar system that can quickly determine the shooter’s position from the path of the bullet. The assailant’s identity has been confirmed. He’s a professional guerilla in the ETO militia. We never imagined he would dare to attack in a downtown area like this. His actions were practically suicidal.”

“一種很精密的雷達系統(tǒng)，能根據(jù)子彈的彈道迅速確定射手的位置。那個兇手的身份已經(jīng)確定，是ETO軍事組織的游擊戰(zhàn)專家。我們沒想到他居然敢在那樣的中心地帶下手，所以他這次行動幾乎是自殺性質(zhì)的。”

“I’d like to see him.”

“我想見他。”

“Who? The assailant?”

“誰，兇手？”

Luo Ji nodded.

羅輯點點頭。

“Sure. But that’s not within the scope of my authority. I’m only in charge of security protection. I’ll put in a request.” Having said this, Shi Qiang turned and left. He seemed more careful and cautious now, different from the lackadaisical image he used to project. Luo wasn’t used to it.

“好的，不過這不在我的權(quán)限內(nèi)，我只負(fù)責(zé)安全保衛(wèi)，我去請示一下?！笔窂娬f完，起身出去了，他現(xiàn)在顯得謹(jǐn)慎而認(rèn)真，與以前那個看上去大大咧咧的人很不同，一時讓羅輯有些不適應(yīng)。

Shi Qiang quickly returned and said, “You may, either here or somewhere else. The doctor says walking isn’t an issue.”

史強很快回來了，對羅輯說：“可以了，就在這兒見呢，還是換個地方？醫(yī)生說你起來走路沒問題的。”

Luo Ji wanted to tell him that he’d like to change venues. He even started to get up, but then the thought struck him that a sickly appearance better suited his purpose, so he lay back down again. “I’ll see him here.”

羅輯本想說換個地方，并起身下床，但轉(zhuǎn)念一想，這副病怏怏的樣子更合自己的意，就又在床上躺了下來，“就在這兒吧?！?/p>

“They’re on their way over, so you’ll have to wait for a while. Why don’t you have something to eat? It’s been a day since you ate on the plane. I’ll set it up.” Then he went out again.

“他們正在過來，還要等一會兒，你先吃點兒東西吧，離飛機上吃飯已經(jīng)過去一整天了。我先去安排一下。”史強說完，起身又出去了。
