Last night, there was a murder in West Town. The Class 1, Grade 9 students are reading

about it in the newspaper.

25-year-old Computer Engineer Murdered

Early today, the body of a 25-year-old man was found in West Town. The police

have confirmed that the victim was a computer engineer. He was last seen leaving

his office in East Town at about 7 p.m. yesterday. He said he was going to visit

his parents.

The police believe that the murder took place between 9 p.m. last night and 1

a.m. this morning. They are still working at the scene of the crime to find out whether

the victim was killed somewhere else and then brought to West Town, or killed at

the place where he was found.

“We’re asking anyone who saw anything unusual near Corn Street last night to

contact us,〞 said Detective Lu, West Town’s chief detective. “The victim was

wounded with a knife and bled to death as a result. We’re now checking the scene for more clues which will help solve the case.〞

The police are also wondering if the victim had any enemies. He was single. He

had many friends and a well-paid job. However, according to the record, he was guilty

of computer crimes in the past.

“He was charged with breaking into several computer systems over the last

year,〞 said Detective Lu. “We’re not sure whether this made him any enemies. We

suppose that the victim knew his murderer.〞

So far, the only suspect is a short thin man who was seen running down Corn Street

at 10 p.m. last night. A witness reported that he was breathing heavily and had blood

on his shirt. However, the suspect could prove that he was somewhere else at the

time of the crime and insisted that he was not guilty.

The victim’s parents have offered a reward of ¥50,000 for any information that

leads to the arrest of the murderer. Anyone who can provide useful information should

contact the police.

题一：Write a T if a sentence is trueor an F if it is false.

1. The victim’s body was found in West Town. 2. The victim sold computers.

3. The victim worked in East Town.
