I’d learned that people who dressed like this were called police.

“The bushes, the tree, all of it went up at once. Multiple ignition points, lots of accelerant. Family is lucky to be alive.”
“灌木、树还有其他东西都迅速烧了起来。有多个着火点，大量的助燃剂。这家人能活下来真是幸运。”
“Lieutenant, look at this!” another man called.

“The boy got pretty cut up going out his window,” someone else observed.
“那孩子从窗户出来时伤得很重，”有人说道。
“Yeah, over there. But not here. All I got here are dog tracks and this shoe.” I cringed that the word “dog” had come up.
“是的,但他是从那里出来，不是在这里。我在这里只发现了狗的脚印和这只鞋。我听到他们说了“狗”这个词，便觉得有些不好意思。
The woman with the gun took out a flashlight and aimed it in the snow.

“What do you know,” she said.

“That’s blood,” someone else said. “Okay, you two, see where the trail leads, okay? Let’s tape this off. Sergeant?”
“那是血，”另一个人说。“好吧，你们两个，看看血迹往哪里去了，好吗?”我们把这里先围起来，中士，你觉得如何?”
“Yes, ma’am,” a man said, approaching the group.
“好的。”一个男人说着，向人群走去。
“We’ve got a blood trail. I want eight feet on either side of it cordoned off. Keep the traffic off the street, and have those people move back.”
“我们发现了血迹。我希望警戒线把血迹两侧8英尺的范围都围起来。这里不能有车辆通行，附近的人都往后退一些。”
