  恋爱与金钱
  你是一名不错的侦探,是吗?若是是的话,那你得比沃尔什探幼先找出凶手。沃尔什探幼是名警探,他事情虽说慢了点,可十分精心。你是位“快手”吗?侦探是干什么的呢?侦探就是寻觅线索的人。而线索就是告诉你谁是凶手的主要但又藐小的事物。发明线索不容易,但本故事中有很多线索。有些线索有用——它们能助助你,可有些线索却晦气——它们障碍你找到凶手。你得细心点读,不然你会错过线索。
  但请记住:你不必置信人们说的每件事。凶手明显会撒谎,可能其他人因分歧的来由也会撒谎。也许他们盼望或人死去。可是谁盼望呢?谁杀的?你能找出凶手吗?
  罗伊纳·阿金耶米英国人,但正在非洲渡过了很多年。《恋爱与金钱》是她为英语学生写的第一部故事。

楼主,请原谅我的自私!我知道无论用多么华丽的辞藻来形容楼主您帖子的精彩程度都是不够的,都是虚伪的,所以我只想说一句:您的帖子太好看了!
