Say Again? 扫黑风暴

Hello again Chinese learners...

Should we add a pinyin version? Write info@whatsonchina.com to tell us if you want it.

For the 扫黑风暴 edition of Say Again? we're first joining 何勇 （何队）and 贺芸 (贺局） in the hallway at the police hq. He's trying to get info out of 陈剑波, the guy who loves to blow up stuff and eat hotpot (who doesn't??), to no avail.

If you haven't watched 扫黑 (English name Crime Crackdown) yet, see whether you might find it watchable here. Let's get to the scene...

何勇：你找我。

贺芸：薛梅的尸体报告已经出来了。基本认定是对冲性颅底骨折，被钝器所伤致死。是他杀。

审的怎么样？

何勇：还在跟我兜圈子了

贺芸：需不需要休息一下？我们可是有很多精兵强将的。

贺芸：好。那就不耽误。你幸苦。

何勇：好。

高明远：你何必兜这么大圈子呢？李成阳，我找你是想跟你谈生意，可你偏要跟我谈生死。你懂什么是生死吗？马帅已经死了。怎么死的不重要，重要
