马龙探案卷四 之 正确的凶案 二十九
“躺着别动。”马龙严厉地说，“你不能动。”
“Lie still,” Malone said sternly. “You mustn’t move.”
有那么一瞬间，杰克疯狂地想起自己小时候玩士兵和印第安人的游戏，还喊过：“嘿，你不许动。你死了。”
For an insane moment Jake was reminded of playing soldiers and Indians when he was a small boy, and of crying out, “Hey, you ain’t allowed to move. You’re dead.”
“把你的大衣给我，杰克。”律师说。他已经把自己的大衣塞在了罗斯·麦克劳林的身体下面。海伦的大皮手筒放在他的头下。
“Give me your overcoat, Jake,” the lawyer said. He had already tucked his own under the body of Ross McLaurin. Helene’s immense fur muff was under his head.
杰克顺从地把大衣脱下来，几乎感觉不到刺骨的寒风。马龙轻轻地把它盖在伤者身上，跪在他旁边又摸了摸他的脉搏。
Jake peeled it off obediently, almost unconscious of the biting wind. Malone laid it gently over the wounded man, knelt beside him and felt his pulse again.
“你不该活着。”他嘟囔着，“但，看在上帝的份上，你确实活着。”
“You haven’t any business being alive,” he grumbled, “but, by all that’s holy, you are.”
罗斯·麦克劳林的眼睛与他对视了一瞬间，认出了他，然后又闭上了。
Ross McLaurin’s eyes met his for an instant of recognition and closed again.
“这真是一团糟。”马龙说，“我们得赶紧把他送到医院去。而且我正努力把这该死的案子都控制在冯·弗拉纳根的管辖范围内。要是让安迪·阿赫恩或者枫树公园警察局掺和进来，我会发疯的。”
“This is a hell of a mess,” Malone said. “We’ve got to get him to a hospital quick. And I’m trying to keep all this damned case inside von Flanagan’s jurisdiction. Let Andy Ahearn or the Maple Park police department get mixed up in it, and I’ll lose my mind.”
“他伤得有多重？”海伦问道。
“How bad is he?” Helene demanded.
“我不知道。他背上有个伤口。但不可能有严重的内出血，不然他坚持不了这么久。显然，刀没有刺中任何主要动脉。不过，我们还是得赶紧把他转移走。”
“I don’t know. He’s got a hole in his back. But there can’t be any severe internal hemorrhage or he wouldn’t have lasted this long. Evidently the knife didn’t hit any main artery. Still, we’ve got to move him, fast.”
杰克说：“我认识一个有灵车的人。他在罗杰斯公园开了一家低价殡仪馆。他是个骗子，但我们可以信任他。”
“Jake said, “I know a guy who owns a hearse. Runs a cut-rate undertaking parlor in Rogers Park. He’s a crook, but we can trust him.”
