After interrogating Colonel Mel, Sheriff Chandler sent Evan out of the police station. Before Evan was about to leave, Sheriff Chandler suddenly stopped Evan.

"Pastor Bruce." At this moment, his expression was very serious, almost serious.

"Do you know why I want you to interrogate this case?" He looked straight at Evan with a confused expression.

Evan was taken aback for a moment, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "I am very grateful for your importance to me."

Hearing what he said, Sheriff Chandler twitched the corners of his mouth uncomfortably, but in the end he just sighed and said in a low voice: "I am very grateful for your help."

He let go of Evan's sleeve, and didn't say much.

Evan glanced at Sheriff Chandler with some doubts, but finally turned and left.

Sergeant Chandler watched Evan walk away, and his expression suddenly became a little complicated. Although he had most of the evidence in this case, after experiencing the previous two cases, he found that he could no longer use the mentality he had before. He came to face other cases, maybe it was just a little bit worse, but the result of the matter was completely different, and he began to be a little scared, so even though the matter was so clear this time, he still hoped that Evan could come and use the eyes of an outsider , To discover the problems that he couldn't find, this is the thought deep in his heart, but when he looked at Evan's face, he found that he couldn't say it at all.

Sergeant Chandler lowered his head and gave a wry smile, perhaps because of his ridiculous self-esteem. He turned and walked into the police station. He will investigate this case carefully.

When Evan walked to the corner of the street again, he hailed a rental carriage and directly reported the name of the Cornwall manor. For this matter, he still needed the power of the Duke.

When Evan arrived at the Cornish manor, Chris the butler was calling for several junior servants to move the fodder. When he saw Evan coming, he rushed to greet him.

"Mr. Pastor." He thought about Evan and nodded slightly.

Evan nodded and whispered, "Where is the Duke?"

Butler Chris pursed his lips unnaturally: "The Duke is dealing with business upstairs, and he doesn't want to be disturbed." Butler Chris looked at Evan meaningfully.

Evan couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, suddenly feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart, he turned his head and glanced upstairs, his eyes darkened.

"I see, I will wait downstairs." Evan suddenly discovered at this moment that the relationship between him and him was not as close as he imagined. He almost forgot that that person was the Duke, and he had It has its own power, its own identity, and its own unknown side.

Evan was sitting in the living room, with the black tea brought to him by Chris's butler by his hand, but at this moment, the temperature gradually lost. The original gurgling smoke had already faded away, but Evan didn't even have the intention of taking a sip. , he just looked at the Bible in his hand, his eyes thoughtful, if someone looked at him, they would find that he hadn't turned that page for a long time.

It wasn't until the cup of black tea on the table completely cooled down that there was finally a noise from upstairs. Evan looked up subconsciously, but saw Duke Wilson walking from the corridor to the stairs with a serious look on his face that he had never seen before. , behind him was an ordinary-looking young man, his face was slightly pale, and he looked very nervous.

Evan's heart suddenly beat violently at this time, and his eyes followed the figure of Duke Wilson. He had never seen such a Duke. He may have been cold before, but he was not like this. He was so indifferent at the time, with almost no emotion on his face, but there was a bloodthirsty light in his eyes.

Such Duke Wilson makes people feel dangerous, but it makes Evan feel-exciting!

He couldn't help but licked his lower lip, and the bloodthirsty factor that was hidden in his heart suddenly started to move.

"Evan!" Duke Wilson finally saw Evan sitting on the sofa, and a soft look appeared on his face. The outline became gentler, and the sharp appearance just now seemed to be just an illusion.

Evan was in a daze for a moment, then smiled and stood up from the chair.

"Why are you here?" Duke Wilson said with joy in his eyes, "I thought you were back."

Evan just smiled gently: "I originally went back, but Sergeant Chandler invited me to see Colonel Mel's interrogation, which delayed me for a while."

"Interrogation?" Duke Wilson's eyes flickered: "Did he say anything?" He pinched his cuffs, but his face looked very calm.

Evan didn't notice the difference in Duke Wilson, and thought he was just worried about Colonel Mel, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, he's fine, he just kept saying he was wronged, and Sheriff Chandler isn't innocent. Proper people."

Duke Wilson breathed a sigh of relief calmly, and said softly: "That's good." While speaking, he winked at Kevin behind him, and Kevin immediately retreated very sensibly.

Evan glanced at the direction where Kevin disappeared, his eyes dimmed slightly, what was he doing behind his back?The unease in Evan's heart grew bigger, but his face was still gentle: "Who is that gentleman?"

Evan's question made Duke Wilson's smiling face froze. He took a closer look at Evan's face and found that there was nothing wrong with him, so he said softly: "That's one of my staff members. He came to ask me today. Report on the past few days at the manor."

Staff?Evan was very skeptical in his heart. He was very sure that even in the chaotic London, the Duke of Wilson had a very tight control over the Cornwall manor. Letters were sent every day. Now that he is back, does he still need an aide to tell him? Does he report something he already knows?Even if it is necessary, the timing shouldn't be today, I'm afraid they should report on the first day they come back.

"So that's it." Evan smiled slightly: "Where's that Mr. Edson from before? Why didn't he come?" As far as Evan knew, that Edson was a person that Duke Wilson trusted very much, but now he suddenly changed Evan naturally had doubts in his heart.

Duke Wilson didn't expect that Evan could still remember Adelson. He couldn't help but pause at the words on his lips, but in the end he just said foolishly: "Aderson is ill... What's the matter with you this time?" In front of Evan, he suddenly turned into a tongue-twisting child, almost unable to speak, and the topic was changed very abruptly, not at all like his usual appearance.

And Evan also saw that he didn't really want to talk about this matter, and he didn't want to force him any more. Some things should be done in moderation, so he followed his words and said, "So that's why I came to you today because I want to talk about it." I want you to accompany me to visit Mrs. Mel, I think this matter should be a great blow to Mrs. "

What Evan said was to the point, but Duke Wilson understood what he meant. Since there is no breakthrough here for Colonel Mel, the only way to break through is from Mrs. Mel.

"What you said is very true, I almost ignored it." Duke Wilson smiled in a low voice. He looked at Evan's slightly deserted face, although he knew that Evan was here to help him get rid of the suspicion of Colonel Mel. , but his attention to the strange woman still made him feel a little sour, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry. Although the two of them had a close relationship for a long time, they haven't been intimate since that night.

Thinking of this, Duke Wilson couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Duke Wilson walked up to Evan, suddenly grabbed his hand hanging by his side, and whispered: "Are you worried about Mrs. Mel? ?”

Evan was a little surprised by Duke Wilson's behavior, and couldn't help but smiled: "She is a lady, this matter is a shocking thing for you and me, and it is even more terrifying for her, and Colonel Mel Still your friend, I don't want you to make things difficult."

Hearing Evan's worries about him, Duke Wilson felt relieved, and he couldn't help smiling at Evan: "Thank you, Evan."

Evan looked at Duke Wilson for a long time, but suddenly he leaned his head and kissed his side face. He put his lips next to his ear and whispered: "Charles, I don't want to hear you thank me. Thank you is needed."

Duke Wilson's face was flushed by Evan's sudden action, but his hands were tightly wrapped around Evan's waist, and now Evan's slightly scorching breath was gushing in his ears, and he couldn't help but burst into tears. She flinched, but her hands hugged Duke Wilson's waist more and more tightly.

"I see." He said this with some difficulty, and now there was a fire in his body, and he almost exhausted his willpower to let this fire temporarily dormant.

Hearing his slightly trembling voice, Evan couldn't help chuckling a few times, pushed his shoulders away, looked at his face, and whispered: "Let's go see Mrs. Mel, Colonel Mel is now It's a mess, maybe we can get some useful information from this lady."

Duke Wilson nodded, looking a little stiff.

Butler Chris quickly prepared the carriage, and Evan and Duke Wilson drove towards Colonel Mel's house in the carriage.

In fact, Evan had already thought about the matter of taking the Duke. The Duke's position in Delanele is self-evident. With the Duke, things will be easier.

Sure enough, the badge of Duke Wilson's carriage was like a nameplate for customs clearance at Colonel Mel's house. No one dared to stop his carriage, so Duke Wilson drove straight all the way to Colonel Mel's castle.

Evan was a little surprised when he saw the castle again. Needless to say, the last time he came, it was magnificent, and it was more of the kind of vitality that radiated from the inside out, but now it is different from then. The earth-shaking changes, the castle now looks like a crumbling seedling in a storm, and the smell of doomsday is everywhere.

Evan was only slightly taken aback, and was led in by the winning butler. When he entered, Evan felt even more deeply. The panic of the servants around him seemed to spread into the air, and his whole body His breathing was a little stagnant.

Evan and Duke Wilson were arranged to wait in the living room. Duke Wilson has not loosened his brows since he came in. In his opinion, this Mrs. Mel is not a qualified hostess of the manor, and Colonel Mel is only in prison for a day. However, the whole family seems to have collapsed. It's absurd for her to manage it like this.

Just when Evan and Duke Wilson were thinking about each other, there was a sudden noise on the stairs, and they all looked upstairs, only to see a thin and somewhat excessive woman walking down.
