Chapter 6
They found Peter Hobbs under his car—an old green car．He got up slowly．He wore old blue trousers and a dirty orange shirt．
他們在小車下找到彼特·霍布斯——一輛舊的綠色小車。他慢慢站起來。他穿了條舊的藍褲子和一件臟兮兮的桔色襯衫。
'We want to talk about Mrs Clarkson，'Inspector Walsh said．
“我們想和你談談克拉克森太太，”沃爾什探長說。
'Oh，it's about her，'Peter said．He looked at the Inspec-tor．'I know she's dead．Someone in the village told me．'
“哦，談談她，”彼特說。他看著探長。“我知道她死了，村里有人告訴了我。”
'Why did you go to the Clarkson's house last night？'
“昨晚你為什么去克拉克森家？”
'Jackie wanted me to come and see her brother，Roger．
“杰基要我去見她的弟弟，羅杰。
“You're angry，”she said．“Come and tell Roger．”I went to the house but nobody opened the door．So I made a lot of noise and then they opened the door．Old Mrs Clarkson wasn't there．But I told Roger．I told them all！'Peter hit the car with his hand．'I wanted to kill that woman．I lost my job，my first job，because of her．Last month I was in trouble with the police and that old woman wrote to my office and she told them about the police．I wanted to kill her！'
'你生氣了，'她說，'來告訴羅杰吧。'我去了那兒但沒人給我開門。所以我弄出很大的噪音，然后他們開了門。老克拉克森太太不在那兒。但是我告訴了羅杰，我全都告訴了他們！”彼特用手敲打著車。“我想殺了那個女人。我丟了工作，我的第一份工作，就是因為她。上個月我跟警察有些糾紛，那老女人就寫信給我的辦公室，她告訴他們有關警察的事。我想殺了她！”
