下面就是我念给他听的那封信：亲爱的福尔摩斯先生：
Here is the letter I read to him: Dear Mr. Holmes:
昨夜，在布瑞克斯顿路的尽头、劳瑞斯顿花园街号发生了一件凶杀案。
Last night, a murder occurred at the end of Brixton Road at Lauriston Garden Street.
今晨两点钟左右，巡逻警察忽见该处有灯光，因素悉该房无人居住，故而怀疑出了什么差错。
At around two o'clock this morning, the patrol police suddenly saw lights in the area, and they learned that the room was uninhabited, so they suspected that something had gone wrong.
该巡警发现房门大开，前室空无一物，中有男尸一具。
The patrol officer discovered that the door was wide open and the front room was empty, with a male corpse in it.
该尸衣着齐整，袋中装有名片，上有“伊瑙克··锥伯，美国俄亥俄州J克利夫兰城人”等字样。
The corpse was neatly dressed, and the bag contained a business card with words such as "Inouk Thimble, from J Cleveland, Ohio, USA" on it.
既无被抢劫迹象，亦未发现任何能说明致死原因之证据。
There were no signs of being robbed, and no evidence was found to explain the cause of death.
屋中虽有几处血迹，但死者身上并无伤痕。
Although there were several bloodstains in the house, there were no scars on the deceased's body.
死者如何进入空屋，我们百思莫解，深感此案棘手之至。
We are puzzled by how the deceased entered the empty house and deeply feel the difficulty of this case.
至希在十二时以前惠临该处，我将在此恭候。
I hope to visit this place before twelve o'clock, and I will be waiting here.
在接奉回示前，现场一切均将保持原状。
Before receiving the notification, everything on site will remain in its original state.
如果不能莅临，亦必将详情奉告，倘蒙指教，则不胜感荷之至。
If you are unable to come, you will also inform us of the details, if you receive guidance, we would greatly appreciate it.
