“那没什么，” 马龙说，“每当有车在警方广播中被报失窃，就会有六七个怪人打电话来说他们看到了那辆车。”
“That’s nothing,” Malone said. “Whenever a car is reported stolen on the police radio, there’s half a dozen calls from cranks who think they saw it.”
“是的，但是等一下。那个打虚假电话的人说他的名字是杰拉尔德?图伊兹。”
“Yes, but wait a minute. The guy who made the phony call said his name was Gerald Tuesday.”
“纯粹是巧合，” 马龙向他保证，“是另一个杰拉尔德?图伊兹。”
“Pure coincidence,” Malone assured him. “It was another Gerald Tuesday.”
杰克说：“我相信有一个杰拉尔德?图伊兹。但我绝不相信有两个。”
Jake said, “I’ll believe there was one Gerald Tuesday. I’m damned if I’ll believe there were two of them.”
马龙倾过身子，环顾四周，好像在查看有没有偷听的人，然后压低声音说：“杰克，你相信招魂术吗？”
Malone leaned across the table, looked around as though spotting eavesdroppers, and said in a low voice, “Jake, do you believe in spiritualism?”
杰克又把勺子弄掉了，盯着律师看了一会儿，然后站起来，把椅子往后一踢。“让我离开这儿！”
Jake dropped his spoon again, stared at the lawyer for a moment, then rose, kicking back his chair. “Let me out of here!”
两人在门外停了一会儿，站在入口处的遮蔽处。杰克看了看表。“好吧，又是新的一天。我不妨去拜访一下莫娜?麦克莱恩。”
The two men paused for a moment just outside the door, standing in the shelter of the entrance. Jake looked at his watch. “Well, it’s another day. I might as well go over and call on Mona McClane.”
“听着，” 马龙赶紧说，“鉴于莫娜?麦克莱恩的谋杀案可能不是在芝加哥地区发生的，我给你一个线索。布莱克县在掩盖一起凶杀案。”
“Listen,” Malone said quickly, “along the line that Mona McClane’s murder may not have been mitted in the Chicago area, I picked up a tip for you. Blake County is covering up a homicide.”
“什么？”
“What’s that?”
马龙快速地想出细节。“我不知道他们掩盖的原因，但我确实知道没有向公众发布任何消息。你知道布莱克县是什么样的，那里住着那么多有钱有势的人。”
Malone was thinking up details fast. “I don’t know the reason it’s being covered, but I do know no news is being given out to the public. You know how Blake County is, with all those rich and influential guys living there.”
杰克点点头，慢慢地说：“莫娜?麦克莱恩的乡村别墅也在布莱克县。你从哪里得到这个消息的？”
