Guidebook for the Dark Duke

Evan looked at Colonel Mel and didn't speak for a long time. He had never seen so many emotions appearing on one person at the same time. Perhaps a nerve in his heart was suddenly touched. There is no previous angry complaint.

"Colonel Mel." Evan's expression softened a lot in an instant: "You really exceeded my expectations."

Evan's expression softened, and Sheriff Chandler couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. He never realized that Evan would be so scary, and he had never seen him get so angry.

"I know you must be very disappointed with my behavior." Colonel Mel smiled wryly: "Did the Duke ask you to come?"

Evan couldn't help but frowned: "My lord is very worried about your situation, but I'm here today at the invitation of Sheriff Chandler. Can you tell me what happened this time? You and that What's the matter with the nun?"

When Colonel Mel heard Evan ask this, he couldn't help but lowered his head, and said in a low voice, "The person I told you about last time is me. I think you should already know this."

Evan nodded: "When I found out about this, I couldn't even believe my ears. Colonel Mel, are you really crazy? You are a man with a wife, and your behavior is really crazy. Let me..." Evan frowned, unable to speak the next words.

Colonel Mel lowered his head and didn't dare to look directly into Evan's eyes. He just squeezed his cuffs tightly with both hands, pursed his lips, and said nothing.

Sheriff Chandler stood by and waved impatiently.

"Mr. Pastor, you are a noble gentleman. I think it is impossible for you to understand his behavior." Speaking of which, Chief Chandler glanced at Colonel Meyer, only for the one thing about betraying his wife. , let him look down on this person.

Evan pursed his lips a little guilty when he heard this sentence, but his face still had a look of compassion, and he said softly: "Mr. Sheriff, let Colonel Mel speak for himself, he is a decent gentleman. I thought of today's situation, he should have nothing to hide."

As soon as Evan finished speaking, Evan raised his head, his eye sockets were slightly red, and his lips trembling slightly looked at Evan and Sheriff Chandler.

"I really have nothing to hide. What else can I not let go of now?" He seemed to be talking to himself.

"Eliza and I have known each other for a long time." Colonel Mel said in a low voice, "He helped my poor mother out of pain, and I am very grateful to him." Colonel Mel spoke in a raving almost sleepwalking Said, with a slight smile on his face, as if recalling some precious memories.

"The relationship between us didn't change at that time. She was a very reserved girl." Colonel Mel said softly: "But I had a strange feeling for her because of this incident, but I knew she I also know her beliefs, so I did not do anything deviant, but after that I have been helping her, or donating something to the monastery, or giving her something in the name of gratitude , she is doing very badly at the convent, I know that."

Speaking of this, Colonel Mel held his head in his hands as if recalling some painful memories.

But Evan frowned at this time. If he remembered correctly, Colonel Mel's wife, Katrina, married Colonel Mel after the death of Colonel Mel's mother, that is to say, after Colonel Mel When he married his wife, he actually had feelings for another woman in his heart.

"Pastor Bruce!" Just when Evan was deep in thought, Colonel Mel suddenly raised his head and shouted: "The relationship between me and Eliza is all my fault, and it has nothing to do with her. I love her. I know my feelings make you all feel bad, but please believe me, I really love her, I love her with my whole life, I would rather die than kill her, please be sure Believe me, this is really...really not my doing..."

His eyes were slightly red, but his eyes were very sincere.

Evan couldn't help being taken aback, and turned his head to look at Sheriff Chandler. Because of Duke Wilson, of course he was willing to believe that Colonel Meyer was innocent, but this matter was beyond his will. Chandler Sergeant Le was the one who decided this matter, and Evan knew very well that for a traditional gentleman like Sheriff Chandler, the behavior of Colonel Mel was undoubtedly what he hated the most, because he not only defiled The marriage of the Holy Spirit further defiles the purity of religion.

"You don't have to tell us this." Colonel Mel's words not only did not make Sheriff Chandler sympathize with him, but made him loathe him even more: "Regardless of your feelings for Sister Eliza, all I want to know is Do you have any evidence to prove your innocence, because as far as the current situation is concerned, it is very unfavorable for your situation." Sheriff Chandler said with a slightly cold expression.

Colonel Mel's originally excited expression fell silent after Sergeant Chandler's words. He looked at Sergeant Chandler blankly, as if he couldn't believe his indifference.

"I... I, I really didn't do it. I was rushing to the monastery when Eliza died. How could I kill her?" Colonel Mel trembling slightly, said the killing words At that moment, the whole person couldn't help trembling.

Sergeant Chandler looked at him with a very cold expression, as if he was indifferent to his reaction: "This is not your alibi, you have to know the distance from your home to the monastery, even if you walk, from the time you leave home Counting from the beginning, it is entirely possible to kill Eliza within the time limit. And!" Sergeant Chandler's voice suddenly raised a bit when he said this: "And in Sister Eliza's pocket, We found one of your gloves, according to you, you have not seen Sister Eliza for a month before this, but you got these gloves from Lady Katrina three days ago, I want to ask you, what is going on here? And the dagger that killed Eliza was also a victory item you brought back from the battlefield. You said you gave it to Eliza, but according to What does your manservant say about the dagger lying in your drawer three days ago?"

Sergeant Chandler pressed on, staring at Colonel Mel with burning eyes, unwilling to let go of any expression on his face.

Colonel Mel, who had just calmed down, trembled at this moment. He looked sadly at the dagger that Sheriff Chandler put on the table to scare her. The handle of his knife was inlaid with the most beautiful gem, but his blade is stained with the blood of the person he loves the most in this world.

"For this, I...I really don't know what to say..." Colonel Mel said with a depressed expression: "What I said is true, but I am also very surprised that this ending will happen, but I can I tell you very clearly, I will never kill Sister Eliza, someone is going to frame me!"

When he said the word framed, Evan suddenly found that Colonel Mel's eyes, which were originally distraught, ignited clusters of fire.

"Yes! Someone is going to frame me! Mr. Sheriff! This is a conspiracy!" Colonel Mel suddenly stood up from his chair: "You know I have many enemies, this... this is definitely aimed at me a conspiracy."

Colonel Mel's eyes finally brightened, and he shouted a little excitedly: "Mr. Sheriff, please believe me!"

Regarding Colonel Mel's radical behavior, Sheriff Chandler just waved his hand with some contempt: "Colonel Mel, I don't want to say such ridiculous words out of your mouth, you want to say that this is aimed at you A conspiracy, but in this matter, we did not find the existence of a third person. There is no evidence for your statement. Do you want me to really believe your statement? From the present point of view, in this case Among them, you are the most suspected."

Colonel Mel almost sat back on his chair in despair.

But Evan said at this time: "Colonel Mel." He glanced at Colonel Mel. As a veteran who has been on the battlefield, his behavior today really surprised Evan. Could it be that love is true? Can a person be changed into this way?Evan was very puzzled.

"How many people know about Sister Elisa and you?" If you want to prove that someone was framed, then that person must be very clear about the relationship between them, otherwise they would not choose Sister Elisa .

Evan immediately asked the question to the point, and Colonel Mel's already slightly desperate eyes finally came alive at this time.

"You believe me." He looked at Evan almost gratefully, but the next moment he fell into deep thought.

"Please forgive me." He said in a low voice, "Eliza and I were just chasing after me one-sidedly in the beginning. She wholeheartedly served God and was unwilling to accept my feelings, but in the end... finally..." Mel The colonel's tone suddenly dropped: "In the end she couldn't resist love, and we came together. You don't know how happy I was when she responded to me, but you should also understand that I love you so much. She will never let her get into some kind of predicament, so no one knows about this matter, except our two hearts and God."

Sheriff Chandler was very interested at the beginning, but when he heard Mel's indifference, he snorted lightly and waved his hands contemptuously: "Colonel Mel, I advise you to hurry up." Plead guilty, every time you try to show your innocence, it will only make you more suspicious."

When Evan heard this sentence, he couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart. Sheriff Chandler's words were quite right. Colonel Meyer's case was like an unsolvable puzzle. Considering the direction, in the end only Colonel Mel himself was left.

"Colonel, it's not easy for a person to hide something, let alone this kind of thing. In the past few days, please think carefully about whether you have exposed yourself to anyone. Only in this way can we save you, otherwise, I'm afraid I can't do anything." Evan sighed, it seems that this matter is really difficult, and the chances of the murderer being Colonel Mel are now very high, and this time, Duke Wilson may be angry.

Colonel Mel nodded a little discouraged, looking a little sluggish.

Sergeant Chandler saw that he couldn't ask any more questions, so he ordered Colonel Mel to be detained, but he was muttering in his heart, this man is already like this, but he is still so secretive, and he didn't ask any useful questions , just shouting for injustice, but Sheriff Chandler is very confident this time, Colonel Mel is definitely a murderer!
