1A01.爱情与金钱
Love or Money
内容简介:
《爱情与金钱》讲述了：你是一名不错的侦探，是吗？如果是的话，那你得比沃尔什探长先找出凶手。沃尔什探长是名警探，他工作虽说慢了点，可十分细心。你是位“快手”吗？侦探是干什么的呢？侦探就是寻找线索的人。而线索就是告诉你谁是凶手的重要但又细小的事物。发现线索不容易，但本故事中有许多线索。有些线索有用——它们能帮助你，可有些线索却不利——它们妨碍你找到凶手。你得仔细点读，否则你会错过线索。
但请记住：你不必相信人们说的每件事。凶手显然会撒谎，可能其他人因不同的理由也会撒谎。也许他们希望某人死去。但是谁希望呢？谁杀的？你能找出凶手吗？
作者简介：

“剑桥1379号，”杰基说。
“你好！我是黛安娜。我想和妈妈说话。”
“妈妈不在家，”杰基说。“她看医生去了。”
impress“怎么了？出了什么事？”
“没什么，”杰基说。“你打电话干嘛？这个周末你回来吗？妈妈希望每个人都在。”
“是啊，我想回来，”黛安娜说。“我正因为没钱买火车票，才打电话。”
“没钱！妈妈总是给你钱！”
“电话费很贵，”黛安娜冷冷说道。“请告诉妈妈，我需要钱。”
杰基放下电话，她从包里拿了枝烟抽起来。她因她的妹妹总是要钱感到生气。黛安娜20岁了，在家里最小。她住在伦敦，在一所大房子里有间屋子。她想成为一个歌唱家，她唱得很棒可是她却从来不愿找工作。 杰基走回厨房动手做一些三明治。这时后门开了，她的母亲走了进来。
“天太热了！”莫利说道，她脱下帽子放在桌上。她是位高个子、皮肤浅黑，有双美丽眼睛的女人。
两条大黑狗跟着她进了厨房围着她转，她坐下来把手放在它们的头上。
杰基把三明治放在桌上。“妈妈，”她说道，“黛安娜打来电话，她想要钱买火车票。”
莫利闭上眼一会，然后站起来。“下午我希望你收拾一下房子为周末做准备，”她说。“哦，随后请去村里给我买些药片。”
“好的，妈妈，”杰基说。

“妈妈，请等一会。”杰基说。“彼得·霍布斯今早来了，他对你的那封信很生气。你知道，他丢了工作。你为什么写信给他的办公室？他想和你谈谈这事。”
“好啦，我不想和他谈，”莫利说，她打开门。
“可是妈妈，你不明白。他17岁了，那是他第一份工作，他非常非常生气。他说……他说他会杀了你！” 莫利没答话，她走出房间关上了门。
