得到不知道什么同意后,丹尼尔走过来蹲下,依然笑眯眯的,“I always feel like you owe me a favor, Mr. Detective.(总觉得好像你欠了我一个人情,侦探先生。)”
“……Sigh, do I really? ——(……唉,有吗——)”柯南登时心虚的扭头,“It must be your misunderstanding(一定是你感觉错了。)”
“Never mind.(算了。)”丹尼尔耸耸肩,“Even if I owe you a favor, there's nothing I can do—I might have to go back to my home country soon.(就算得到了你的人情也没办法,我说不定就要回国了。)”
“嗯? But didn't you just arrive here not long ago?(嗯?但你不是才刚来这里不久吗?)”柯南下意识询问,又想到问询的警察,不由得死鱼眼道:“Wouldn't it be possible that you sneaked into this country illegally?(你该不会是偷渡来这里的吧。)”
“Maybe, maybe not.(可能是,也可能不是。)”丹尼尔神色看不出多少慌张,还有闲心逗人玩,“Whether it is or not depends on the guy who brought me here.(究竟是不是,取决于把我送过来的家伙。)”
这种回答实在奇怪,不过毕竟这人已经快要回去了,而且再不济也有警察。柯南也就没细究,“Then I'll just wish you a safe and quick journey back home.(那我还是祝你快点回家好了。)”
丹尼尔应了声后,忽然夸张的一笑,随后大声告别:“Bye, Mr. Detective. Hope we'll meet again!(拜,侦探先生。聊的真愉快,希望我们还能遇见!)”
“The cherry blossoms are indeed beautiful. It's such a pity I didn't come to see them before.(樱花果然很漂亮,之前没来看过真是太可惜了。)”丹尼尔低头看着相机里的照片颇为满意,“It would be great if there were more cherry blossoms—falling like an avalanche, they would surely be even more beautiful...(要是花能再多些就好了,像雪崩一样落下,一定会更美吧……)”
正在自顾自思考时,他听到背后有人向他打招呼。
“Hello, sir.”
“Hmm?”丹尼尔闻声转过身,在看清眼前的人时表情瞬间变得古怪。
他可没想到,换了个国家后自己居然这么受欢迎。
思躇片刻,丹尼尔把相机放回画包的口袋里,“I know what you're here for... Though it's a bit unexpected, I don't think I'm qualified for that job.(我清楚你的来意,……虽然有些意想不到,但我不觉得自己能胜任那份工作。)”
来人友善的笑了笑,“Sir, you are the most suitable candidate. Or rather, this job was tailor-made for you.(先生,您是最合适的人选。或者说这项工作就是为您准备的。)”
“If you don't have a place to stay or a job for the time being, I can also help you—as long as you join us.(如果您暂时没有去处和工作的话,我也可以帮您,只要您加入我们。)”来人伸出手,看起来根本没考虑他拒绝的选项。
