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.

今天早晨，一位25岁男子的尸体在西镇被发现。警察已经确定遇难者是一名电脑工程师。

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.

他们仍然在案发现场搜集证据，以确认遇害者是否在别处被害然后移尸西镇，或者该案发现场就是第一现场。

"We're asking anyone who saw anything unusual near Corn Street last night to contact us," said Detective Lu, West Town's chief detective.

“我们迫切希望昨晚在科恩街附近看到任何可疑现象的人与我们联系，”卢侦探说。他是西镇的首席侦探。

“遇害者由于受到刀伤，失血过多而死亡，我们正在现场搜集更多的证据，以帮助我们尽早破案。”
