  No one knew Carrigan' s history. Not even his employers at the convention center. Carrigan had escaped conviction for a serious crime. It was very controversial at the time and the public tried to convince the court afterwards to have Carrigan wear a copper device so that they would always know where he was. The controversy was great, but the court of law said that he was innocent and that it was not conventional to monitor an innocent man freed from conviction. That would contradict his right to freedom.

  Now Carrigan was just the conference convenor responsible for coordinating the daily events at the center. He was good at his job, contributing daily to the improvement of operations. But his contribution was not so great that he was always busy. He had, in fact, perhaps too much free time. That was when he converted his garage into a workshop for auto repair. But it was only a contrived workshop, which conveyed a sense of good business. In the back were all the tools Carrigan needed to commit his next crime. His coordinator position as well was only a cover; Carrigan was a true criminal.

  That was why he was so good at the Convention Center; Carrigan' s coordination skills were superb.He was an expert at masking his true identity from the public. And he was excellent at conversing with people they all believed him to be a nice guy.

  When crimes resembling the ones that Carrigan had almost been convicted of began occurring again,not even the police thought to look at Carrigan again. He had been smart. They had known him then as always using a wire, now he used a cord. The difference was subtle, but the police thought it was the core of the matter.

  讀故事單詞雅思詞匯-會(huì)議中心協(xié)調(diào)員

  誰(shuí)都不知道卡里根的來(lái)歷，就連他在會(huì)議中心的雇主們也不知道。卡里根犯有重案卻沒(méi)有被定罪。當(dāng)時(shí)這件事非常有爭(zhēng)議，后來(lái)公眾試圖說(shuō)服法庭讓卡里根戴個(gè)銅制裝置以便隨時(shí)掌握他的行蹤。爭(zhēng)論非常激烈，可法庭說(shuō)他是無(wú)罪的，而監(jiān)控一個(gè)沒(méi)有判罪的無(wú)辜者是不合常規(guī)的。那樣做會(huì)同他的自由權(quán)相矛盾。

  現(xiàn)在卡里根是中心負(fù)責(zé)協(xié)調(diào)日常事務(wù)的會(huì)議召集人。他工作出色，每天都為改進(jìn)中心的工作做出貢獻(xiàn)，但是他的貢獻(xiàn)還沒(méi)有大到讓他終日忙碌的地步。事實(shí)上，他也許是自由的時(shí)間大多了。就在這時(shí)，他把他的車(chē)庫(kù)改成了汽車(chē)修理鋪，但這只是一個(gè)精心策劃、掩人耳目的鋪?zhàn)樱鼈鬟f了一種生意興隆的感覺(jué)，可在修理鋪后面卡里根藏著所有下次作案的工具。他的協(xié)調(diào)員身份其實(shí)也只是個(gè)掩護(hù)，卡里根是個(gè)不折不扣的罪犯。

  這就是他為什么在會(huì)議中心表現(xiàn)很好的原因。卡里根的協(xié)調(diào)技能相當(dāng)高超，他是個(gè)在公眾面前掩飾真正身份的專家，并且還很善于和人交談，他們都相信他是個(gè)好人。

  當(dāng)幾乎讓卡里根定罪的案子再次發(fā)生時(shí)，就連警方都沒(méi)想到要再查一查卡里根，因?yàn)榭ɡ锔苈斆鳎麄冎浪恢庇媒饘俳z，這回他用的卻是一段細(xì)繩。兩者差別甚微，警方卻認(rèn)為它是問(wèn)題的核心。
