马龙探案卷四 之 正确的凶案 二
“我告诉过你，我以前从没见过这家伙。” 约翰?J?马龙重复道。“我完全不知道他是谁。他走进乔天使的酒吧，在差两分钟十二点的时候死在了地上，这就是我所知道的关于他的全部事情。”
“I tell you I never saw the guy before,” John J. Malone repeated. “I haven’t the faintest idea who he was. He came into Joe the Angel’s bar and dropped dead on the floor at exactly two minutes to twelve, and that’s every last thing I know about me about him.”
“别跟我来这套，马龙。” 凶杀组的丹尼尔?冯?弗拉纳根狠狠地皱起了眉头。他是个高大的男人，接近中年，有一张大圆脸和稀疏的灰发。“你肯定认识他，因为他认识你。他的背上插着一把刀，从街上的某个地方来到乔天使酒吧，还喊着‘马龙’。”
“Don’t try to give me that noise, Malone.” Daniel von Flanagan of the homicide division scowled heavily. He was a tall, big man, somewhere near middle age, with a large moon face and thinning, gray hair. “You must’ve known him because he knew you. He made it to Joe the Angel inconveniences bar from some place up the street with a knife in his ribs, and hollered ‘Malone.’”
“他肯定是认错人了。” 律师说。
“He mistook me for someone else,” the lawyer said.
冯?弗拉纳根大声哼了一声。“得了吧。他是谁？是你的客户？还是你的客户当射击目标来用的靶子？”
Von Flanagan snorted loudly. “Come on, who was he? A client? Or just somebody a client of yours was using for target practice?”
“对我来说他完全是个陌生人。” 马龙坚持说。他又小声补充道，“我真希望你也是。”
“He was a perfect stranger to me,” Malone insisted. He added under his breath, “And I wish to God you were.”
在冯?弗拉纳根办公室里的大电钟上的时间，现在显示在两点到三点之间。第一辆警车抵达乔天使酒吧时，午夜的喧嚣声刚刚消退。三十秒后，运尸车从太平间开来。这是常规操作。然而，因为这是跨年夜，找到任何有权处理此事的人都要花一点时间。冯?弗拉纳根办公室里的僵局现在才刚刚开始第二个小时。
It was sometime between two and three by the big electric clock in von Flanagan’s office. The first squad car had arrived at Joe the Angel’s bar just as the last echoes of the twelve o’clock racket were dying away. The dead-wagon had arrived from the morgue thirty seconds later. That was routine. However, since it was New Year’s Eve, locating anyone in authority had taken a little time. The deadlock in von Flanagan’s office was only starting its second hour now.
