Jake nodded and said slowly, “Mona McClane’s country place is in Blake County, too. Where did you pick this up?”
“从一个住在那里的赌注登记人那里。在市政厅碰到他的。”
“From a bookie who lives up there. Ran into him at the city hall.”
“这可能是个线索。” 红发男人说。
“It might be something,” said the red-haired man.
马龙对自己的良心说最终一切都会好起来的。他说：“嗯，你认识安迪?阿赫恩，那里的治安官。如果有人能从他那里套出消息，那你应该可以。”
Malone told his conscience that everything would be all right in the end. He said, “Well, you know Andy Ahearn, the sheriff out there. You ought to be able to pry information out of him if anyone could.”
杰克又点了点头。“是的，我可以。如果我快点，我能赶上下一班北岸火车。” 他向一辆路过的出租车挥了挥手。“谢谢，马龙。”
Jake nodded again. “Yes, I could. If I step on it, I can make the next North Shore train.” He waved at a passing taxi. “Thanks, Malone.”
“没关系。你回来的时候给我打电话。” 他看着直到出租车消失在拉什街。这是个卑鄙的把戏，但这能让杰克离开几个小时，而马龙现在非常需要这几个小时。
“That’s all right. Call me when you get back.” He watched until the taxi had vanished down Rush Street. It was a dirty trick, but it would keep Jake out of the way for a few hours, and Malone needed those hours badly right now.
想了一会儿，他跳上一辆出租车，回到了他的酒店。大厅里没有海伦的踪影。他看了看钟。差五分钟十点。她现在应该到了，来看看清醒后的罗斯?麦克劳林还记得什么。
After a moment’s thought, he hopped in a cab and drove to his hotel. There was no sign of Helene in the lobby. He looked up at the clock. Five minutes to ten. She should have been here by now, to find out what Ross McLaurin remembered, sober.
哦，好吧，她会来的。小律师回到自己的房间，刮了胡子，换了衬衫，然后走到他为罗斯?麦克劳林准备的房间。
Oh well, she’d be along. The little lawyer went up to his room, shaved and changed his shirt, and went down the hall to the room he had taken for Ross McLaurin.
年轻人还在睡觉，年轻的脸颊上有一抹淡淡的粉红色。他可能会睡好几个小时，马龙想，而且现在叫醒他也没用。除了等待什么也做不了。
The young man still slept, a faint pink flush on his young cheeks. He might sleep for hours, Malone reflected, and there was no use waking him in the meantime. There was nothing to do but wait.
