“我们会找到的。” 治安官大声说。他拿起他的名单。“其他人都在楼下，不可能是他们开的枪，除了这两个人，我可他妈的不知道他们当时在哪里。”
“We’ll find it,” the sheriff said loudly. He took his list. “Everybody else was downstairs and couldn’t have done the shooting except these two, and I’m damned if I know where they were at.”
杰克屏住呼吸十秒钟，然后爆发了。“你知道我们在哪里。我们在那个大楼梯的底部。这个人在这里 ——”
Jake held his breath for ten seconds and then exploded. “You know where we were. We were down at the foot of that big staircase. This guy here -”
“纽扣是个骗子。” 治安官说。“而且没人问你任何事情。”
“Buttonholes is a liar,” the sheriff said. “And nobody asked you anything.”
年轻的地方检察官把杰克推到一边。“听着，马夫，” 他绝望地说，“到大厅里来。我得和你谈谈。”
The young district attorney shoved Jake aside. “Listen, Marv,” he said desperately, “e out in the hall. I’ve got to talk to you.”
“等一下。” 汤姆?伯罗斯说。“我得给合众社回个电话。你最好想点什么让我告诉他们。”
“Wait a minute,” Tom Burrows said. “I’ve got to call the U.P. back. You’d better think of something for me to tell ‘em.”
治安官马文?克林怒视了他一分钟。“告诉他们整个杰克逊县都在为前参议员佩维利的去世而哀悼。告诉他们他是一个受人尊敬的公民，还有 ——”
Sheriff Marvin Kling scowled at him for a minute. “Tell ‘em all Jackson County mourns the death of ex-Senator Peveley. Tell ‘em he was a respected citizen and -”
“见鬼，他们都知道那些。” 汤姆?伯罗斯说。“你最好说点关于他被谋杀的事情。”
“Hell, they know all that,” Tom Burrows said. “You’d better say something about his murder.”
“就我而言，” 杰克冷冷地说，“你可以告诉他们我已经拿上我的帽子回家了。”
“As far as I’m concerned,” Jake said coldly, “you can tell them I’ve taken my hat and gone home.”
“你哪儿也去不了。” 治安官说。
“You’re not going anywhere,” the sheriff said.
“哦，不，我要走。” 杰克告诉他。“我不会再让任何一个小镇治安官欺负我了。我要离开这里。” 他快速地吸了一口气，他明亮的蓝眼睛眯了起来。“你可能是治安官，但我要告诉你一件事。当你要拘留任何人的时候，是要有搜查令的。还有非法拘留这种事情。你最好去上一个法律函授课程。”
“Oh yes I am,” Jake told him. “I’m not going to let any small-town sheriff push me around any longer. I’m getting out of here.” He drew a quick breath, his bright-blue eyes narrowed. “You may be a sheriff, but I’ll tell you something. There’s such a thing as a warrant, when you want to hold anybody. And there’s such a thing as false arrest. You’d better take a correspondence-school course in the law.”
