In other words, these two areas have the ratio it well, but is illegal? Klein silent muttered, looks at that building the entrance to beset with by a golden rose, has not hung the so-called signboard. 乔伍德区和贝克兰德桥区域最好的合法妓院？也就是说,这两个区有比它更好但不合法的？克莱恩无声咕哝了一句,瞄到那栋建筑的门口镶有一朵金色的玫瑰,没挂所谓的招牌。 „Should this type not be street prostitute?” He spoke thoughtlessly to respond to one. “这种应该不算站街女郎吧？”他随口回应了一句。 „Naturally, the scale is higher.” Mike leads Klein to arrive at that building front familiar and easy, pushes the door to enter. “当然,档次更高。”迈克轻车熟路地领着克莱恩走到那栋建筑前方,推门而入。 Just went, Klein smelled the mixed fragrance that slightly irritated the nose obviously, heard affably, but ambiguous melody. 刚一进去,克莱恩就闻到了略显刺鼻的混杂香味,听见了舒缓但暧昧的旋律。 His instinct looks all around, discovered that the entrance both sides and hall each corner stands to wear the black coat to wear half high top hat goon, as a place of lawful operation, these is used to cope with the drunkard and boorish fellow obviously. 他本能地环顾一圈,发现入口两侧和大厅各个角落都站有穿黑色外套戴半高礼帽的打手,作为一个合法经营的地方,这些显然都是用来对付醉鬼和莽汉的。 Around the golden hall is placing various types of sofas and chairs, even a piano, the center encircled the dancing place. 金色的大厅四周摆放着各种沙发和椅子,甚至还有一台钢琴,中央则围出了跳舞的地方。 At this time, the hair color or the gold/metal or brown or light yellow or the black, the women's clothing or the complicated or simple or gorgeous women sit in the different places, their mature graceful bearing, some are shy, some youth are moving, some suitable beautiful appearance. 此时,发色或金或棕或淡黄或黑色,衣裙或繁复或简单或艳丽的一位位女士就坐在不同的地方,她们有的成熟风韵,有的羞涩稚嫩,有的青春动人,有的相当美貌。 These women or rest one's chin in one's hands are appreciating the melody, or each other is laughing and playing the speech, either reads newspaper peacefully, either accompanies the man to dance lightly. 这些女士或托腮欣赏着旋律,或彼此嬉笑着说话,或安静地翻看报纸杂志,或陪伴男子翩翩起舞。 Because of 3 : 30 pm, the customer are not many, then few, as far as eyes can reach, here looks like the regular dance party, rather than in brothel scene. 因为才下午 3 点半,顾客并不多,只有那么寥寥几位,一眼望去,这里更像正规的舞会,而不是妓院内部场景。 „If in 8 : 00 pm afterward, you can see some interesting performances, hehe, which woman if there are to settle on, invited her to dance on the past, inquired her price in exquisite melody, if both sides can achieve consistently, you can go to second floor or third floor some room spent a period of wonderful time, hey, so long as were willing to spend, you can rest the entire evening here.” About Mike leaned under the head, suddenly disappears the beforehand calm and gentleman, becoming slightly is frivolous. “如果在晚上 8 点后来,你可以看到一些有趣的表演,呵呵,如果有看中哪位女士,就过去邀请她跳舞,在优美的旋律里询问她的价钱,要是双方能够达成一致,你们就可以去二楼或三楼的某个房间度过一段美妙的时光,嘿,只要舍得花钱,你可以在这里睡整整一晚。”迈克左右侧了下脑袋,突然不见了之前的沉稳和绅士,变得略显轻浮。 He walks into the hall with a smile, to young, most 15-16 shy girls closes up. 他笑着走入大厅,向一位年龄不大,最多十五六青涩女孩靠拢。 This, this appears the natural disposition, is the specialized performance? Klein quite a little looks stares dumbfounded, follows subconsciously in Mike Joseph behind. 这,这是现出本性,还是专业的表演？克莱恩看得颇有点瞠目结舌,下意识地跟随在迈克.约瑟夫的身后。 „Victim Hibel is only 16 years old, theoretically, the girl of a similar age and she may be the friend, known are more.” At this time, Mike lowered the voice, explained one. “遇害者希贝尔只有16岁,理论上来说,年龄相仿的女孩和她更有可能是朋友,知道的更多。”这时,迈克压低嗓音,解释了一句。 He selects under the slightly sparse eyebrow at once, restores the normal volume saying: 他旋即挑了下略显稀疏的眉毛,恢复正常的音量道: „Which woman did you settle on?” “你看中了哪位女士？” „I am only your bodyguard.” Klein according to normal logical response. “我只是你的保镖。”克莱恩按照正常的逻辑回应。 Mike slightly does not nod obviously, suddenly said with a smile: 迈克微不可见点头,忽然笑道: „I handle that matter time, is not familiar with some people to look on.” “我做那种事情的时候,不习惯有人旁观。” „I will defend in out of the door.” Klein understands the meaning of Mike, adopts the rigorous and specialized stance. “我会守在门外的。”克莱恩明白了迈克的意思,摆出严谨而专业的姿态。 Mike no longer said, arrives at that shy girl's front, bends the waist to put out a hand, the invitation dances. 迈克不再多说,来到那位青涩女孩的面前,弯腰伸手,邀请跳舞。 Becoming the prostitute in this age, Beckland is really attractive and dirty......, really has the makings very good middle and old age gentleman to visit here, his both temples were gray...... Klein dangling both hands, stood straightly, visual Mike and that shy girl wandered about with the slow dance step in the middle. 在这个年纪就成为了妓女,贝克兰德真是又光鲜又肮脏……嘿,竟然有位气质很不错的的中老年绅士光顾这里,他两鬓都花白了啊……克莱恩垂下双手,站得笔挺,目视着迈克和那个青涩女孩用缓慢的舞步徜徉于中间。 Several minutes later, Mike walked, slightly said to Klein annoyingly: 过了几分钟,迈克走了回来,略显懊恼地对克莱恩道: „Was too expensive.” “太贵了。” When two people, he made up one in a low voice: 当两人靠近后,他又低声补了一句: „That girl knows Hibel, but here boss Ms. Lopez forbids them and others exchanges this matter, otherwise severely will be punished, the god, mentioned penalty time, that pitiful girl even instinct trembles, my conceivable that is terrifying.” “那个女孩认识希贝尔,但这里的老板洛佩兹女士禁止她们和别人交流这件事情,否则将遭受严厉的惩罚,神啊,提到惩罚的时候,那个可怜的女孩甚至本能地发抖,我可以想象那有多么恐怖。” The Klein sympathy does not have the means to sigh, presses the voice to ask back: „Therefore, how you do plan to do?” 克莱恩同情却没有办法地叹了口气,压着嗓音反问道:“所以,你打算怎么做？” „I do not want to provoke unfortunately for these girls, I planned that looks for Ms. Lopez directly.” Mike patted under the Klein's shoulder saying that „protected me!” “我不想为那些女孩招惹来不幸,我打算直接去找洛佩兹女士。”迈克拍了下克莱恩的肩膀道,“保护好我！” Klein has leaned the body, urged one seriously: 克莱恩侧过身体,郑重叮嘱了一句: „If encounters the dangerous situation, you must listen my.” “如果遇到危险的情况,你必须听我的。” „Understood?

Invited the woman to dance.” “好了,请你们离开吧！或者去邀请女士跳舞。” During the speeches, Lopez waving makes nearby two goons come. 说话间,洛佩兹挥手让旁边的两位打手过来。 Klein stepped one step, keeps off before the body of Mike Joseph, protects him to return to the hall, that two goons see that do not have crudely the direct action of driving away. 克莱恩跨了一步,挡在迈克.约瑟夫的身前,护着他向大厅返回,那两名打手见状,没鲁莽地直接驱赶。 Walked several steps, Klein pulled down the throat sound said: 走了几步,克莱恩压低嗓音道: „She is lying.” “她在撒谎。” „Un?” Mike startled leaning head. “嗯？”迈克愕然侧头。 „She spoke the line of sight wavered very much, does not dare to look straight ahead you, but will take a look at you quietly, this explained that she is lying and observing your response .

Klein smiles to say with a smile: 这只是因为我开了灵视,观察到洛佩兹情绪颜色的不对劲……其他都是事后找的理由……克莱恩笑笑道: „Praise thank you, we should walk.” “谢谢你的夸奖,我们该走了。” Mike Joseph then looks to Lopez, discovered that she is moving toward the side gate of hall, as if must go to own Room rest, but that leaf of side gate belongs to the corner of corner, the nearby is lonely, cannot see the matter that there has in hall many positions, its outside is also defending two goons. 迈克.约瑟夫回头望向洛佩兹,发现她正走向大厅的侧门,似乎要去属于自己的休息,而那扇侧门属于角落的角落,附近非常冷清,在大厅很多位置都看不到那里发生的事情,它的外面同样守着两位打手。 „Perhaps, we should follow Ms. Lopez, observes her response, what perhaps the anxiety will make her make......” Mike to lean looks at Klein to say suddenly, „you can solve that two goons quickly?” “也许,我们该跟着洛佩兹女士,观察她事后的反应,也许刚才的焦虑会让她做些什么……”迈克忽然侧头看着克莱恩道,“你能很快解决那两个打手吗？” „Mister, I am only responsible for protecting you, moreover this is illegal.” The Klein smile response said. “先生,我只负责保护你,而且这是违法的。”克莱恩微笑回应道。 „I add money! According to having to fight to calculate, a total of 5 pounds! If we flee, fights, 10 pounds!” Mike Joseph nips the tooth to say. “我加钱！按照有打斗算,总共五镑！如果我们逃离的时候,还有打斗,就十镑！”迈克.约瑟夫咬了咬牙齿道。 „Deal!” Klein puts out a hand on own initiative, grasped grasping with the opposite party. “成交！”克莱恩主动伸手,与对方握了握。 Then, two people circled a circle, avoids the beforehand that two goons, arrives around the side gate quietly. 接着,两人绕了个圈子,避开之前那两位打手,悄然来到侧门附近。 „Guest halts, please leave here.” And a goon goes forward one step, blocked Klein and Mike Joseph. “客人止步,请离开这里。”其中一位打手上前一步,拦住了克莱恩和迈克.约瑟夫。 „Sorry, we......

In the Klein unstated criticism, the footsteps are light, but the frequency leads the way quickly on spreading the corridor of floor. 你为什么这么熟练……你只是个记者啊！克莱恩腹诽之中,脚步轻但频率快地前行在铺着地板的走廊上。 Suddenly, they heard the Lopez sound: 忽然,他们听到了洛佩兹的声音: „Told Capim, recently do not see somebody off!” “告诉卡平,最近不要送人过来！” Capim? Sees somebody off? Klein looks to body side Mike, discovered that he equally has doubts very much. 卡平？送人？克莱恩看向身侧的迈克,发现他同样很疑惑。 At this time, they heard Lopez toward the sound of footsteps that the corridor came. 这个时候,他们又听见了洛佩兹往走廊过来的脚步声。 „Walks!” Klein drew Mike, did not return rushes to the entrance, ran. “走！”克莱恩拉了把迈克,头也不回地奔向入口,跑了出去。 In this process, he closed the side gate, spoiled the lock conveniently, making inside person unable to come out for a short time. 这个过程里,他关上了侧门,顺手弄坏了锁,让里面的人一时半会出不来。 Then, two people pretend anything not to have the birthplace half step to pass through the hall, close to the exit|to speak, swaggers away in the indistinct angry sound. 接着,两人装做什么事情都没发生地快步穿过大厅,靠近出口,在隐隐约约的愤怒声音里扬长而去。 Arrives at outside street, Mike relaxed, to praise sighed heartfeltly: 来到外面的街道,迈克松了口气,由衷地赞叹道: „I have experienced many similar scenes, but never has to be simple and relaxed like today one time.” “我经历过不少类似的场景,但从来没有一次像今天一样简单和轻松。” „Thank you, I must go back to understand that who Capim was.” “感谢你,我得回去了解卡平是谁了。” Speech at the same time, he pulls out the wallet, took 5 pounds bill, mumbled: 说话的同时,他掏出钱包,取了张五镑的钞票,嘟囔道: „But honestly speaking, your price is very expensive/noble, this was equivalent to my big half period the wage.” “但坦白地讲,你的价格真的很贵,这相当于我大半周的薪水了。” „But you can reimburse, not?” The Klein corners of the mouth go up respond, at once is somewhat worried to ask, „weren't you afraid Lopez to act according to your document to find your newspaper office, the warning catch you?” “但你可以报销,不是吗？”克莱恩嘴角上翘地回应,旋即有些担心地问道,“你不害怕洛佩兹根据你的证件找到你的报社,报警抓你？” „That is the false document.” Mike Joseph knew extremely well the stall starting. “那是假的证件。”迈克.约瑟夫熟稔地摊了下手。 „......” Klein can only express admires. “……”克莱恩只能深表佩服。 After gazing after Mike boards to leave, he moves toward the diagonally opposite, waits for public carriage, and does the close attention have the person to pursue. 目送迈克上车离开后,他走向斜对面,等待公共马车,并密切注意有没有人追出来。 At this moment, rented carriage goes slowly, stopped before his body. 就在这时,一辆出租马车缓慢地行驶过来,停在了他的身前。 The middle and old aged male who wears the black coat goes out of the compartment, to Klein nodded. 一位穿黑色大衣的中老年男性走出车厢,对克莱恩点了下头。 His blue pupil thin face, the graying at the temples, Klein in that old gentleman who in Gold Rose sees. 他蓝眸瘦脸,两鬓斑白,正是克莱恩在金玫瑰里看见的那位老绅士。 He was not the Gold Rose customer...... same......
