Chapter 7 At the police station
第七章 在警察局
It was 7.30 p.m. Nick and Meg were in a room at the police station. The man called Vickers was in a different room, with three detectives. There was a doctor with him too. Craig Winters was at the hospital.
已经是晚上7:30了。尼克和梅格坐在警察局的一间屋子里。那个名叫维克斯的男子和三名侦探在另一间屋子里，跟他在一起的还有一名医生。克雷格·温特斯那时已经在医院了。
The door opened and a detective came in with two cups of coffee. He put them down on the table, and turned to go out again.
门开了，一名侦探端着两杯咖啡走了进来。他把咖啡放在桌子上，又转身出去了。
'Detective Edmonds,' Meg said, 'did the hospital call? Is Craig going to be all right?'
“埃德蒙兹侦探，”梅格问道，“医院来电话了吗？克雷格不会有事吧？”
'Winters?' Detective Edmonds said. 'Yes, he's going to be OK.'
“温特斯吗？”埃德蒙兹侦探说，“是的，他会没事的。”
'Can I call the hospital now?' asked Meg.
“我现在可以给医院打电话吗？”梅格问道。
'I'd like you to wait,' said Edmonds. 'Detective Keat is going to be here in a minute. He's just coming from the airport and --' He looked through the open door. 'Ah, here he is now.'
“我希望你能再等一等，”埃德蒙兹说，“基特侦探马上就来。他正从机场回来，还有——”他透过开着的门往外看去，“啊，他来了。”
A second detective came into the room, and behind him was a tall man with dark hair.
又一位侦探来到了屋里，后面跟着一个高个子的黑发男人。
Meg stood up quickly. 'Daddy!' she cried. 'What are you doing here?'
梅格马上站了起来。“爸爸！”她叫了出来，“你来这里干什么？”
'The police called me,' said Howard Hutson, 'and I flew here at once. Detective Keat met me at the airport. Now, sit down, Meg. I want you to listen to me.' He did not look at Nick.
“警方传唤我，”霍华德·赫特森说道，“我就马上乘飞机来了。基特侦探去机场接我。好了，梅格，坐下。你听我说。”他没有理会尼克。
