前景提要：卷福让华生回来当然不只是发个短信，两人携手破案的华丽篇章即将开启......
W：How did you get this?
S：By looking. 箱子哪儿来的？我找到的
W：Where? 哪里？
S：The killer must have driven her to Lauriston Gardens. He could only keep her case by accident if it was in a car. Nobody could be seen with this case without drawing attention-particularly a man, which is statistically more likely. So obviously he'd feel compelled to get rid of it. Wouldn't have taken him more than five minutes to realise his mistake. 凶手一定是开车把她带到劳瑞斯顿花园，箱子意外留在车里，这箱子太过显眼容易引起注意，尤其是男人带着更显可疑。所以，他不得不处理掉这个箱子。用不了五分钟，他就发现了这个问题。
S：I checked every backstreet wide enough fora carfive minutes from Lauriston Gardens andanywhere you could dispose of a bulky object without being observed. Took meless than an hour to find the right skip. 我找遍了所有距离劳瑞斯顿花园五分钟车程的后巷，以及所有能不引起注意处理掉大件物品的地方。果然不到一小时就找到了。
W：Pink. You got all that because you realised the case would be pink? 粉色，就因为你断定箱是子是粉的吗？
S：It had to be pink, obviously.明显是粉色。
W：Why didn't I think of that.我怎么没想到？
S：Because you're an idiot.因为你愚蠢。
因为你蠢 蠢 蠢 蠢—。—
S：No, no, don't looklike that. Practically everyone is. Now, look. Do you see what's missing? 得了，别这副表情，大多数人都是如此。现在看看，这里面少了什么。
W：From the case? How could I?我怎么知道这箱子里少什么？
S：Her phone. Where's her mobile phone. There was no phone on the body, there's no phone in the case. We know she had one. You just texted it.手机。她的手机在哪里？死者身上没手机，箱子里也没有。她肯定有手机，你刚刚也发过短信了
W：Maybe she left it at home.也许落在家里了
S：She has a string oflovers and she's careful about it. She never leaves her phone at home. 她的情人无数，需要谨慎处理，绝不会把手机落在家里。
W：Er... Why did I just send that text? 那我刚才发什么短信？
S：Well, the question is where is her phone now? 问题在于她的手机现在哪里？
W：She could have lost it.可能丢了
S：Yes, or?也许，或者呢？
W：The murderer... You think the murderer has the phone?
凶手，你认为手机在凶手那里。
S：Maybe she...left it when she left her case. Maybe he took it from her for some reason. Either way, the balance of probability is the murderer has her phone.也许是...她连箱子一起把手机落在车里。也许是出于某种原因，凶手拿走了。无论如何，手机肯定还在凶手那里。
W：Sorry...whatare we doing? 等等，我们刚才做了什么？
S：A few hours after his last victim, and nowhe receives a text that can only be from her. If somebody had just found thatphone, they'd ignore a text like that, but the murderer... would panic.
距离案发仅几小时，却突如其来收到该名受害者的短信，若是路人拾获手机的话肯定对此不以为意，但凶手却会大惊失措。
W：Have you talked to the police?你知会警方了吗？
S：Four people are dead, there isn't time.
已有四人遇害我们没时间知会警察。
W：So why are you talking to me?那你又为何知会我呢？
S：Mrs Hudson took my skull. 因为赫德森太太拿走了我的骷髅伙伴
W：So I'm basically filling in for your skull?
所以我代替骷髅成为你的搭档了咯？
S：Relax,you're doing fine. Well? 放心，你配合得不错。既然这样
W： Well,what? 什么这样
S：Well...you could just sit there and...watch telly.你可以继续坐在那儿，看无聊的电视剧
W：You want me to come with you?你希望我伴你随行吗？
S：I like company when I go out and I think better when I talk aloud. The skull just attracts attention, so... Problem?我喜欢结伴随行，高谈阔论帮助我思考。骷髅太过引人注目。所以，有问题吗？
W：Yeah, Sergeant Donovan.对，多诺万警佐。
S：What about her? 她怎么了。
W：She said you get off on this, you enjoy it.
她说你沉迷破案不能自拔自得其乐。
W：Damn it! 给他看穿了！
