“他也想朝我开枪。” 那个红头发的人说。
“He meant to shoot at me, too,” the red-haired man said.
马龙叹了口气。“也许你最好从头开始给我讲讲。不过，首先，我想向你道歉。”
Malone sighed. “Maybe you’d better tell me about it from the beginning. First, though, I want to apologize to you.”
“为什么？是你朝我开枪了吗？”
“Why? Were you shooting at me?”
“因为让你白跑了一趟。”
“For letting you go out there on a wild-goose chase.”
杰克盯着他看了一会儿，然后笑了起来。“这可不是白跑一趟。我找到了制造一场精彩谋杀所需的一切，除了一件一直缺失的东西。尸体。”
Jake stared at him for a minute and then began to laugh. “It was no wild-goose chase. I found everything I needed for a good murder, except for one item that’s been consistently missing. The corpse.”
他从头开始，把整个故事都告诉了律师。讲完后，马龙沉默了一会儿，半个身子隐在一团蓝色的雪茄烟雾中，陷入了沉思。
He began at the beginning and told the lawyer the whole story. When he finished, Malone was silent for a while, half hidden in a cloud of blue cigar smoke, and deep in thought.
“你确定她说 —— 她丈夫的坟墓？”
“You’re sure she said—her husband’s grave?”
“肯定。她提了好几次。一开始我以为她疯了。但坟墓确实在那儿。”
“Positive. She spoke of it several times. At first I thought she’d gone off the rails. But the grave really was there.”
“她很正常，没错。” 马龙忧郁地说，“但我开始怀疑我自己是否正常了。” 他又叹了口气。“我们去和罗斯?麦克劳林谈谈吧。他现在应该可以醒来了。”
“She’s sane all right,” Malone said gloomily, “but I’m beginning to wonder if I am.” He sighed again. “Let’s go talk to Ross McLaurin. He ought to be fit to wake up by now.”
他带路沿着走廊来到另一个房间。
He led the way down the hall to the other room.
“他昨晚过得很糟糕。” 马龙说，“但我觉得他现在应该可以上手术台了。” 他看着海伦，又痛苦地补充道，“下次你给我找个客户的时候，我希望你能找个清醒点的。”
“He had a bad night,” Malone said, “but I think he ought to be ready for the operating table.” He looked at Helene and added bitterly, “The next time you find me a client, I wish you’d find a sober one.”
他把钥匙插进 1106 房间的门锁，轻轻打开了门。罗斯?麦克劳林还躺在床上，眼睛闭着，年轻的脸庞很苍白。
He slipped a key into the door of room 1106 and opened it softly. Ross McLaurin still lay in bed, his eyes closed, his young face pale.
