1983年小巷12月晴朗 夜的第七章
In 1983, the alley was bright in December, the seventh chapter of the night.
打字机继续推向 接近事实的那下一行
The typewriter continues to push towards the next line, closer to the truth.
石楠烟斗的雾 飘向枯萎的树
The mist of the stone peach pipe drifts towards the withered tree.
沉默的对我 哭诉
Silently, it cries out to me.
贝克街旁的圆形广场 盔甲骑士臂上
In the circular square by Baker Street, the armored knight's arm.
鸢尾花的徽章 微亮
The iris badge glimmers softly.
无人马车声响 深夜的拜访
The sound of a phantom carriage echoes, a visit in the deep night.
邪恶在维多利亚的月光下 血色的开场
Evil under the Victorian moonlight, a bloody prologue.
消失的手枪 焦黑的手杖 融化的蜡像
The vanished pistol, the charred cane, the melting wax figure.
谁不在场 珠宝箱上 符号的假象
Who is not present? On the jewelry box, the illusion of symbols.
矛盾通往他堆砌的死巷 证据被完美埋葬
Contradictions lead to the dead end he built, evidence perfectly buried.
那嘲弄苏格兰警场 的嘴角上扬
The mocking grin at the Scottish police station, lips curled up.
如果邪恶 是华丽残酷的乐章 (那么正义是深沉无奈的惆怅)
If evil is a splendid, brutal symphony, then justice is a deep, helpless melancholy.
它的终场 我会亲手写上 (那我就点亮在灰烬中的微光)
I will personally pen its finale, then I'll ignite a glimmer within the ashes.
晨曦的光 风干最后一行忧伤 (那么雨滴 会洗净黑暗的高墙)
The morning light dries the last line of sorrow, then the raindrops will cleanse the dark high walls.
黑色的墨 染上安详（散场灯关上 红色的布幕下降)
Black ink stains the tranquility (the lights fade at the end, the red curtain falls).
事实只能穿向 没有脚印的土壤
Facts can only tread on soil without footprints.
突兀的细微花香 刻意显眼的服装
The sudden subtle fragrance of flowers, deliberately eye-catching attire.
每个人为不同的理由戴著面具说谎
Everyone wears a mask and lies for different reasons.
动机也只有一种名字 那叫做欲望
Motivation has only one name, and that name is desire.
Far-farther-farther-far-far
Ther-ther-far-farther-far-far
越过人性的沼泽 谁真的可以不被弄脏
Crossing the marshes of humanity, who can truly remain untainted?
我们可以 遗忘 原谅 但必须知道真相
We can forget and forgive, but we must know the truth.
被移动过的铁床 那最后一块图终于拼上
The iron bed that has been moved, that last piece of the puzzle finally fits.
我听见脚步声 预料的软皮鞋跟
I hear footsteps, the anticipated click of soft-soled shoes.
他推开门晚风晃了煤油灯 一阵
He pushes open the door, the evening breeze sways the oil lamp, a gust.
打字机停在凶手的名称 我转身
The typewriter halts at the name of the murderer, I turn around.
西敏寺的夜空 开始沸腾
The night sky over Westminster begins to boil.
在胸口绽放 艳丽的死亡
Blooming on my chest, a resplendent death.
我品尝这最后一口 甜美的真相
I savor this last bite, the sweet taste of truth.
微笑回想正义只是 安静的伸张
Smiling, I recall that justice is merely a quiet assertion.
提琴在泰晤士
The violin plays on the Thames.
如果邪恶 是华丽残酷的乐章 (脚步声预料的软皮鞋跟 他推开门晚风晃了煤油灯一阵)
If evil is a grand and cruel symphony (the soft-footed sound of anticipated leather heels, he pushes open the door, and the evening breeze sways the oil lamp for a moment).
它的终场 我会亲手写上 (打字机停在凶手的名称我转身 西敏寺的夜空 开始沸腾)
In its finale, I will personally inscribe it (the typewriter halts on the name of the murderer, I turn around, the night sky over Westminster begins to boil).
黑色的墨 染上安详
Black ink stains tranquility.
如果邪恶 是华丽残酷的乐章
If evil is a grand and cruel symphony.
它的终场 我会 亲手写上
In its finale, I will personally inscribe it.
晨曦的光 风干最后一行忧伤
The morning light dries the final line of sorrow.
黑色的墨 染上安详
Black ink stains tranquility.
