get your hands on弄到手

一句反问把嫌疑原样弹回去，越平静越显得胸有成竹。

If I was X, would I ...?

被人冤枉、想反问对方时用；对上级或长辈别用这种咄咄逼人的口气。

If I were guilty, why would I explain my own method? ／ Would a guilty man tell you how he did it?

中性

先重读 ridiculous，If 后稍顿，句尾 would I 上扬。

不喊不叫，一句'你也有可能是凶手'让在场每个人都不安全。

So you could be ...

顺着对方的话往下推、把矛头指回去时用；开玩笑要分场合。

That means you could have done it. ／ So it could just as easily be you.

中性

So 后微停，could be 连读，murderer 重音在首音节。

By that logic, you could be the one who took it. 照这个逻辑，拿东西的人也可能是你。

一句交代整局用意，dastardly 一词把管家的立场也带了出来。

I gathered you here because ...

向人解释自己为什么把大家叫来时用；日常对朋友别用这种郑重腔。

I brought you all together because ... ／ The reason I called you here is ...

正式

gathered 重读，because 前稍顿，implicated in 连读。

I gathered the team here because we all share the blame. 我把大家叫来，是因为这事我们都有责任。

一句话把装死这步棋讲成求生本能，推理清楚又让人后背发凉。

His best hope of ... was to ...
