The woman touched her bright red hair

I knew they'd spot me even in this wig." She patted her hair again

" So if you're really a world-famous artist, what are you doing in Belltown?" Cole asked

“那么，如果你真是世界著名艺术家，你来贝尔镇做什么？”科尔问道。

旁白 neutral

" So you really didn't have anything to do with our friend's painting disappearing?" Henry asked

“所以你确实跟我们朋友的画失踪没关系？”亨利问道。

旁白 neutral

" Of course not." Daniella looked insulted." I create art — I don't steal it."

“当然没有。”丹妮艾拉看上去受到了冒犯。“我创作艺术——而不是偷窃艺术。”

旁白 neutral

Henry nodded." Okay. Sorry we suspected you."

亨利点了点头。“好吧。抱歉怀疑了你。”

旁白 neutral

" Yeah. And sorry we don't know who you are, even though you're famous," Cole added

As she hurried off, Henry glanced at the town clock
