杰克摇摇头。“我好几年前就辞职了。去年冬天之前我一直做新闻代理人。现在我经营一家夜总会。” 他把他修长的身体靠在一张桌子上。“我在一场打赌中赢了它。”
Jake shook his head. “I quit years ago. I was a press agent until last winter. Now I'm running a night club.” He slid his long frame onto a desk top. “I won it on a bet.”
汤姆?伯罗斯的眼睛突然眯了起来。“等一下。我偶尔也会看报纸。去年冬天你不是卷入了一堆谋杀案里吗？”
Tom Burrows’ eyes suddenly narrowed. “Wait a minute. I read a newspaper once in a while. Weren’t you mixed up in a bunch of murders last winter?”
治安官马文?克林偏偏在这个不恰当的时候走进了办公室。
Sheriff Marvin Kling chose that inopportune moment to e into the office.
“什么样的谋杀案？” 他问道。
“What kind of murders?” he demanded.
“我只是在开玩笑，马夫。” 汤姆?伯罗斯赶紧说。
“I was only joking, Marv,” Tom Burrows said quickly.
治安官哼了一声，怀疑地看着杰克和海伦。
Sheriff Kling snorted and looked at Jake and Helene suspiciously.
“找到枪了吗？” 汤姆?伯罗斯在治安官继续追问这个话题之前问道。
“Found the gun yet?” Tom Burrows asked, before the sheriff could pursue the subject.
“我们还在找。” 治安官咆哮道。“我们会找到的。我们也在搜查院子，以防凶手把枪从窗户扔出去了。现在我要确切地知道参议员中枪的时候法院里的每个人都在哪里。”
“We’re still looking,” the sheriff growled. “We’ll find it. We’re searching the grounds, too, in case the murderer dropped it out of a window. Right now I’m finding out exactly where everybody in the courthouse was when the Senator got shot.”
杰瑞?勒克斯通走进办公室，脸色仍然苍白，明显还在发抖。他向年轻的新闻记者简短地点了点头。
Jerry Luckstone came into the office, still pale, and visibly shaken. He nodded briefly to the young newspaperman.
“杰瑞，” 治安官说，“看看这份发生事情的时候在楼上的人的名单，看看对你来说是否正确。你当时在那里。” 他把一张有点脏的纸递给地方检察官。
“Jerry,” the sheriff said, “look over this list of who was upstairs when it happened, and see if it looks O. K. to you. You were there.” He handed the district attorney a slightly soiled sheet of paper.
“埃德?斯金丁斯鲁德和麦高恩小姐，” 杰瑞?勒克斯通咕哝着，一边看名单一边核对名字，“杰瑞?勒克斯通，菲尔?史密斯，科拉?贝尔?弗洛姆，阿琳?高奇。是的，对我来说这看起来是对的。马夫，那把枪到底会在哪里呢？”
“Ed Skindingsrude and Miss MacGowan,” Jerry Luckstone mumbled, checking off the names as he read, “Jerry Luckstone, Phil Smith, Cora Belle Fromm, Arlene Goudge. Yes, that looks right to me. Marv, whatever could have bee of that gun?”
