“麦琪，”亨利警告说，“在你开始指责别人偷东西之前，你得有证据。”

He looked into the cashbox that Maggie was holding

It was completely empty

" Are you sure you didn't take the money out and put it in your pocket or something?" he asked her

“你确定你没把钱拿出来放进自己口袋之类的地方吗？”他问她。

" Yeah," Cole said." You probably put the money somewhere."

" No way!" Maggie looked really upset now

" There was a lot of cash in here five minutes ago when Mrs. Martin paid for little Marty's lemonade."

“五分钟前马丁太太给小马蒂付柠檬汁钱的时候，这里面还有很多现金呢。”

The little boy, Marty Martin, had dropped his mother's hand

He was staring at Maggie and banging a toy suitcase against his knees

他盯着麦琪，把玩具手提箱一下下敲在自己膝盖上。

" Okay," Henry said

“好吧，”亨利说。

" Then maybe the money blew away when you opened the box."

" It's not even windy today," Maggie said. She shook her head

“今天根本就没风，”麦琪摇着头说。

旁白 neutral

" I think someone stole my horseback-riding money

旁白 neutral

The two teenage girls giggled and whispered to each other

旁白 neutral

Maggie looked at them

麦琪看着她们。

旁白 neutral

" Was it you two?" she asked." Did you take my money?"

“是你们俩吗？”她问，“你们拿了我的钱吗？”

旁白 neutral

" No," one of the girls said." We're not crooks

“不，”其中一个女孩说，“我们不是贼。”

旁白 neutral

Come on, Jill, let's get out of here."

走吧，吉尔，我们离开这儿。”

旁白 neutral

" Yeah." Her friend giggled." Before she accuses us of something else!"

The two of them laughed and walked off

Maggie glared at them, and then looked around again

" Maybe it was Ryan!" she said. Ryan had finished chugging his lemonade

旁白 neutral

Now he was jumping his skateboard on and off the curb

现在他正踩着滑板在路缘石上跳上跳下。

旁白 neutral

" Did you steal my money when I wasn't looking?" Maggie asked

“你是不是趁我没注意的时候偷了我的钱？”麦琪问道。

He stopped and stared at Maggie." Dude, I didn't take your money

他停下来瞪着麦琪。“老兄，我没拿你的钱。”

旁白 neutral

Maybe you should have watched it better," he said

也许你该自己看紧点儿，”他说。

旁白 neutral

Then he skated off down the street

说完他就踩着滑板沿着街溜走了。

旁白 neutral

" Hey! Get back here!" Maggie yelled

“嘿！你回来！”麦琪大喊道。

旁白 neutral

But Ryan ignored her, skidding around the corner

但瑞安没理她，一拐弯就消失在街角。

旁白 neutral

Nathan and his little sister Nora were listening to everything

内森和他妹妹诺拉一直在旁边听着。

旁白 neutral

" It wasn't me," Nathan said before Maggie could say anything to him." I promise."

“不是我，”没等麦琪开口，内森就先说道，“我保证。”

旁白 neutral

" Are you sure?" Maggie said." It had to be someone!"

“你确定？”麦琪说，“肯定是有人拿的！”

旁白 neutral

Nora poked her brother." I think I hear Mommy calling us," she said

诺拉捅了捅哥哥。“我好像听到妈妈在叫我们。”她说。

旁白 neutral

" I didn't hear anything," Henry said

“我没听到什么声音啊。”亨利说。

旁白 neutral

" Me neither. But I'd better go check," Nathan said

“我也没听到。不过我还是过去看看好。”内森说。

旁白 neutral

" Come on, Nora, let's go home."

“走吧，诺拉，我们回家。”

旁白 neutral

" No!" Nora said. She loved to argue." I don't want to!"

Nathan was used to her, so he just ignored her

内森对这副样子习以为常，索性没理她。

旁白 neutral

But when he rushed off toward their house, she hurried after him

Maggie was looking around for more possible thieves

麦琪还在四下张望，寻找别的可疑小偷。

旁白 neutral

" Where did Mrs. Martin and Marty go?" she asked

“马丁太太和马蒂去哪儿了？”她问。

旁白 neutral

" They left." Cole pointed down the block

旁白 neutral

Henry looked and saw Mrs. Martin wandering away

旁白 neutral

Her cell phone was still pressed to her ear

旁白 neutral

Little Marty was skipping along after her

旁白 neutral

" I don't think you need to accuse Mrs. Martin of being the thief," Henry said

“我觉得没必要去指认马丁太太是小偷。”亨利说。

旁白 neutral

" She's a police detective, remember?"

“她是个警探，记得吗？”

旁白 neutral

Cole nodded." She catches thieves — she's not one herself," he said

科尔点点头。“她是抓贼的——她自己又不是贼。”他说。

旁白 neutral

" Maybe you're right." Maggie frowned

“也许你是对的。”麦琪皱起眉头。

旁白 neutral

" But someone stole my money, and I want to know who it was."

“但是有人偷了我的钱，我想知道是谁干的。”

旁白 neutral

" Calm down," Henry told his cousin

“冷静点。”亨利对他表妹说。

旁白 neutral

" You're not going to figure it out by yelling at everyone."

“你对每个人大喊大叫是查不出真相的。”

旁白 neutral

" How else am I going to get an answer?" Maggie asked

“那我还能怎么找到答案呢？”麦琪问。

旁白 neutral

" Think about it logically," Henry said

“要按逻辑来思考。”亨利说。

旁白 neutral

" Whoever took that money is a thief, which means he or she is probably a liar too."

“偷那笔钱的人是个贼，这意味着他或她很可能也在撒谎。”

旁白 neutral

" Good point," Cole said with a nod

“说得对。”科尔点头说。

旁白 neutral

" Guess you'd better say good-bye to that money, Maggie."

“看来你最好跟那笔钱说再见了，麦琪。”

旁白 neutral

Maggie scowled at him." Be quiet, Cole!"

麦琪对他皱起眉头。“安静点，科尔！”

旁白 neutral

" She doesn't need to give up," Henry told his friend

“她不需要放弃，”亨利对他的朋友说。

旁白 neutral

" We just need to think like detectives

“我们只需要像侦探一样思考。

旁白 neutral

I bet if the three of us work together, we can figure out who took the money."

我敢说如果我们三个合作，就能找出谁拿了钱。”

旁白 neutral

" We're just kids," Maggie said

“我们只是孩子，”麦琪说。

旁白 neutral

" How are we supposed to think like detectives?"

“我们怎么能像侦探一样思考呢？”

旁白 neutral

" I know!" Cole said." I watched a mystery movie on TV last week

“我知道！”科尔说。“我上周在电视上看了一部侦探片。

旁白 neutral

The detective started by figuring out who the suspects were."

侦探一开始是找出嫌疑人是谁。”

旁白 neutral

" We already know that," Maggie interrupted

“这个我们已经知道了，”麦琪打断道。

旁白 neutral

" It had to be someone who was nearby when the money disappeared."

“肯定是钱不见时在附近的人。”

旁白 neutral

Henry smiled." See? We're already thinking like detectives," he said

亨利笑了。“看吧？我们已经像侦探一样思考了，”他说。

旁白 neutral

" Okay, so we know approximately when the money disappeared

“好，那我们大概知道钱是什么时候不见的。

旁白 neutral

Who was nearby during that time?"

那段时间谁在附近？”

旁白 neutral

" You just saw them," Maggie said

“你们刚才都看到了，”麦琪说。

旁白 neutral

" Nathan and Nora, Mrs. Martin and Marty, Ryan, and those two teenage girls

“内森和诺拉，马丁太太和马蒂，瑞安，还有那两个少女。

旁白 neutral

Oh, and you two of course."

哦，当然还有你们俩。”

旁白 neutral

" Nobody else stopped by before Henry and I got here?" Cole asked

“在亨利和我到这里之前，没有别人来过吗？”科尔问。

旁白 neutral

" Like a stranger or a suspicious-looking deliveryman?"

“比如陌生人或者可疑的送货员？”

旁白 neutral

Maggie shook her head." Nope. Just the people you saw."

麦琪摇摇头。“没有。就只有你们看到的那些人。”

旁白 neutral

Cole bit his lip." That means the thief had to be someone we know."

科尔咬着嘴唇。“那就意味着小偷一定是我们认识的人。”

旁白 neutral

They all looked at each other

他们互相看着对方。

旁白 neutral

" It's someone from our very own neighborhood!" said Henry

“就是我们自己邻里的人！”亨利说。
