  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-會議中心協調員

  誰都不知道卡里根的來歷，就連他在會議中心的雇主們也不知道。卡里根犯有重案卻沒有被定罪。當時這件事非常有爭議，后來公眾試圖說服法庭讓卡里根戴個銅制裝置以便隨時掌握他的行蹤。爭論非常激烈，可法庭說他是無罪的，而監控一個沒有判罪的無辜者是不合常規的。那樣做會同他的自由權相矛盾。

  現在卡里根是中心負責協調日常事務的會議召集人。他工作出色，每天都為改進中心的工作做出貢獻，但是他的貢獻還沒有大到讓他終日忙碌的地步。事實上，他也許是自由的時間大多了。就在這時，他把他的車庫改成了汽車修理鋪，但這只是一個精心策劃、掩人耳目的鋪子，它傳遞了一種生意興隆的感覺，可在修理鋪后面卡里根藏著所有下次作案的工具。他的協調員身份其實也只是個掩護，卡里根是個不折不扣的罪犯。

  這就是他為什么在會議中心表現很好的原因。卡里根的協調技能相當高超，他是個在公眾面前掩飾真正身份的專家，并且還很善于和人交談，他們都相信他是個好人。

  當幾乎讓卡里根定罪的案子再次發生時，就連警方都沒想到要再查一查卡里根，因為卡里根很聰明，他們知道他一直用金屬絲，這回他用的卻是一段細繩。兩者差別甚微，警方卻認為它是問題的核心。
