马龙探案卷四 之 正确的凶案 三十一
“那确实是我的。”马龙说，“我想我不知道我把它丢了。”
“That’s mine, all right,” Malone said. “I guess I didn’t know I lost it.”
“这可让你闹了个大笑话。”天使乔说，“你最好来一杯免费的，就当是开启美好的一天。”
“That’s a good one on you,” Joe the Angel said. “You’d better have one on the house, just to start the day right.”
马龙衷心地同意他的话。
Malone heartily agreed with him.
酒倒好后，杰克愤愤不平地说：“当然了，这是你绝对想不到要去找的地方。”
After the drink was poured, Jake said indignantly, “Of course, this is the one place you wouldn’t think of looking for it.”
“可能是在打斗的时候从我的口袋里掉出来的。”马龙说道，语气中带着几分歉意。
“It probably fell out of my pocket during the brawl,” Malone said, almost apologetically.
“你也没想到这一点，”海伦指责道。
“That wouldn’t occur to you either,” Helene said in an accusing tone.
“哼，该死。”律师说，“我不可能什么都想到。”
“Well, damn it,” the lawyer said, “I can’t think of everything.”
杰克和海伦同时说道：“现在你拿回来了，让我们看看吧。”
Jake and Helene said simultaneously, “Now you’ve got it back, let’s have a look at it.”
就在小律师把钥匙扔在桌上的时候，酒吧后面的收音机宣布时间正好是九点半。马龙像被枪击了一样从椅子上跳起来，冲向门口。
Just as the little lawyer tossed the key down on the table, the radio back of the bar announced that the time was exactly nine-thirty. Malone was out of his chair as though he’d been shot at and dived in the direction of the door.
跑到一半，他回头喊道：“你们自己看吧。我有三十分钟的时间去烫西装、刮胡子，然后赶到老费瑟斯通的办公室。这个约会我一定得去。”
Halfway there, he called back, “Look at it yourselves. Thirty minutes to get my suit pressed, get shaved, and be at old man Featherstone’s office. That’s one appointment I’ve got to keep.”
海伦缓过气来后说：“不管怎么说，我们有钥匙了。”她仔细地看了看钥匙，然后递给杰克。“看看这是什么？”
After she had caught her breath, Helene said, “Well, we’ve got the key, anyway.” She looked at it closely and handed it to Jake. “See what it is?”
杰克慢慢地点点头。“联合包裹寄存柜。”他大声念道。
“Jake nodded slowly. “United Parcel Lockers,” he read aloud.
“这是火车站里那种投币式行李寄存箱的钥匙，”海伦说，“我一直觉得那种箱子是藏东西的好地方，很安全。”
