  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.

  读故事单词雅思词汇-会议中心协调员

  谁都不知道卡里根的来历，就连他在会议中心的雇主们也不知道。卡里根犯有重案却没有被定罪。当时这件事非常有争议，后来公众试图说服法庭让卡里根戴个铜制装置以便随时掌握他的行踪。争论非常激烈，可法庭说他是无罪的，而监控一个没有判罪的无辜者是不合常规的。那样做会同他的自由权相矛盾。

  现在卡里根是中心负责协调日常事务的会议召集人。他工作出色，每天都为改进中心的工作做出贡献，但是他的贡献还没有大到让他终日忙碌的地步。事实上，他也许是自由的时间大多了。就在这时，他把他的车库改成了汽车修理铺，但这只是一个精心策划、掩人耳目的铺子，它传递了一种生意兴隆的感觉，可在修理铺后面卡里根藏着所有下次作案的工具。他的协调员身份其实也只是个掩护，卡里根是个不折不扣的罪犯。

  这就是他为什么在会议中心表现很好的原因。卡里根的协调技能相当高超，他是个在公众面前掩饰真正身份的专家，并且还很善于和人交谈，他们都相信他是个好人。

  当几乎让卡里根定罪的案子再次发生时，就连警方都没想到要再查一查卡里根，因为卡里根很聪明，他们知道他一直用金属丝，这回他用的却是一段细绳。两者差别甚微，警方却认为它是问题的核心。
