馬龍探案卷四 之 正確的兇案 二

“我告訴過你，我以前從沒見過這傢伙。” 約翰?j?馬龍重複道。“我完全不知道他是誰。他走進喬天使的酒吧，在差兩分鐘十二點的時候死在了地上，這就是我所知道的關於他的全部事情。”

“i tell you i never saw the guy before,” john j alone repeated “i haven’t the fatest idea who he was he ca to joe the anl’s bar and dropped dead on the floor at exactly o utes to elve, and that’s every st thg i know about about hi”

“別跟我來這套，馬龍。” 兇殺組的丹尼爾?馮?弗拉納根狠狠地皺起了眉頭。他是個高大的男人，接近中年，有一張大圓臉和稀疏的灰髮。“你肯定認識他，因為他認識你。他的背上插著一把刀，從街上的某個地方來到喬天使酒吧，還喊著‘馬龍’。”

von fnagan snorted loudly “e on, who was he? a client? or jt body a client of yours was g for tart practice?”

“對我來說他完全是個陌生人。” 馬龍堅持說。他又小聲補充道，“我真希望你也是。”

“he was a perfect stranr to ,” alone sisted he added under his breath, “and i wish to god you were”

在馮?弗拉納根辦公室裡的大電鐘上的時間，現在顯示在兩點到三點之間。第一輛警車抵達喬天使酒吧時，午夜的喧囂聲剛剛消退。三十秒後，運屍車從太平間開來。這是常規操作。然而，因為這是跨年夜，找到任何有權處理此事的人都要花一點時間。馮?弗拉納根辦公室裡的僵局現在才剛剛開始第二個小時。
