[simplified Chinese]
罪恶有痕 48

 

“云山村”是个山清水秀的地方。然而此刻它却被荷枪实弹的武警所占据。他们围住一家农宅，一个拿喇叭的武警正向屋里喊话。

农宅不算大，中等平房户形。一堵灰白色的围墙围住四五个房间和一个小院。作为警方攻坚的焦点，院子安静得让人不安。

警方的喊话并没有得到屋里人的响应。围墙上朱红色的大门纹丝不动。

据侦查得来的信息, 柯勇就在屋内。他在警方第一次进入时向外射击。警方被迫退出。但屋里是否还有别人, 并不清楚。

罪惡有痕 48

 

“雲山村”是個山清水秀的地方。然而此刻它卻被荷槍實彈的武警所佔據。他們圍住一家農宅，一個拿喇叭的武警正向屋裏喊話。

農宅不算大，中等平房戶形。一堵灰白色的圍牆圍住四五個房間和一個小院。作爲警方攻堅的焦點，院子安靜得讓人不安。

警方的喊話並沒有得到屋裏人的響應。圍牆上硃紅色的大門紋絲不動。

據偵查得來的信息, 柯勇就在屋內。他在警方第一次進入時向外射擊。警方被迫退出。但屋裏是否還有別人, 並不清楚。

 

[English translation]
Traces of Sin  48

“Yunshan Village”was a place with enchanting scenery. However, it was occupied by armed police force that day. They surrounded one farm house. A police man was talking through a loud speaker.

The farm house was not very big. A grayish wall encompassed a yard and four or five rooms inside. Being the centre of the police attack, the yard looked uneasily quiet.

The police didn’t receive any response from inside the house. The red door of the house stayed shut.

According to what they knew, Ke Yong was actually inside. He fired back when the policed tried to enter the house at first. Police was forced to back out. However, they were not sure whether there were other people inside.
