Guidebook for the Dark Duke

Evan and Duke Wilson hurriedly stood up and greeted them.

"Mrs. Mel." Duke Wilson spoke first.

At this time, Mrs. Mel didn't look as radiant as when they first met. Her face was sallow and panic-stricken, and her figure was not as tall as when they first met. , covering half of her face.

"Your Excellency the Duke." She raised the corner of her skirt and saluted Duke Wilson, speaking in a slightly hoarse voice.

Duke Wilson frowned when he saw him like this. It was just a one-day event, and this Mrs. Mel turned out to be like this.

"Are you okay?" Duke Wilson asked in a slightly blunt tone.

Mrs. Mel gave a wry smile, and said in a low voice: "Such a terrible thing happened, I really..."

Duke Wilson couldn't help sighing, and there was a bit of sympathy in his eyes: "I understand your situation very well, Mel is really ridiculous this time." Speaking of this, Duke Wilson changed his subject and looked at him with a sad look Mrs. Mel said again: "It's just that, but I still can't believe that he would kill someone. It's just too ridiculous."

Mrs. Mel bit her lower lip, with a forbearance in her eyes: "I don't believe he would do such a thing." Her voice was very soft, and if Evan hadn't listened carefully, she almost didn't hear it.

Duke Wilson nodded in satisfaction, as long as Mrs. Mel thinks so, he is afraid that this woman will become hate out of love and do something irrational.

"In that case, then I want to ask you, does Colonel Mel have any enemies? This time, it's almost like being framed." Duke Wilson said very cautiously. Just before coming here, Kevin asked him After reporting the results of the investigation in the past few days, it was very unexpected that they found almost nothing. This is almost unbelievable for Duke Wilson who has almost completely mastered Delaneria, so she is very sure , this time there must be some kind of force targeting him.

Mrs. Meier pondered for a while, a trace of hesitation flashed in her eyes, she hesitated to speak and glanced at Duke Wilson, but it seemed a little difficult to speak.

Duke Wilson caught her expression and immediately said: "Have you thought of anything? Please say it no matter what it is."

Mrs. Mel pursed her lips in some embarrassment, and finally opened her mouth: "I... I don't know if this is an enemy, before... I saw Charlie arguing with a gentleman in the study before, as if the situation It was very intense, and the gentleman looked very angry, but thanks to Charlie calling the housekeeper in, it didn't cause more serious consequences." The Charlie in Merv's mouth was Colonel Mel's Christian name.

Duke Wilson couldn't help squinting his eyes. Colonel Mel is not the kind of person who is prone to conflict with others. It is really unusual that he would quarrel with someone this time. He is performing some kind of dirty trick of his own. When doing tasks, they are all done with a gentleman's attitude, even more particular than him. For so many years, Duke Wilson has never seen Mel quarrel with anyone.

"Do you know the gentleman's name?" Duke Wilson looked at Mrs. Mel with a burning expression. Maybe this person was the breakthrough point of this matter.

Mrs. Mel pondered for a moment, and finally said: "I... I don't know too well, but I heard Charlie call him Edson, or something else, I really can't remember."

Edson? !Duke Wilson couldn't help but widen his eyes, and Evan also looked at Mrs. Mel in surprise. It turned out to be that Edson. Evan didn't have a good impression of this gentleman.

"Did you hear me right?" Duke Wilson looked at Mrs. Mel with a serious expression, as if he was going to ask her something in the next moment.

"I...I..." Duke Wilson's attitude made Mrs. Mel flustered for a moment, she looked around helplessly, and stammered, "Maybe...maybe I was wrong, right?" ..." Her tone became lower and lower, completely unconvincing.

Duke Wilson couldn't help sighing, and touched his temple with his hand, but he was already somewhat convinced by Mrs. Mel's statement in his heart. There was indeed a big gap between Edson and Mel. This time, Edison Sen even made a move to conceal himself, and what's even more weird is that their underground forces have hardly gained anything in this incident, which not only makes people wonder whether Edson really did something.

"Okay, don't worry, I understand what you said, and I will free Colonel Mel as soon as possible." Duke Wilson comforted a little dryly.

Mrs. Mel couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Thank you so much, Charlie is really lucky to have a friend like you."

Duke Wilson nodded, but he had no desire to speak.

The atmosphere became a little awkward for a while, and Mrs. Mel hurriedly invited Duke Wilson and Evan to sit down in the living room, and the servants brought new tea.

Evan took a sip and put the cup on the table. Duke Wilson wanted to know what he said just now, but he wanted to know more than that.

"Mrs. Mel." He looked at the slightly nervous woman with a gentle expression, and said softly, "If you have anything to do, the door of the Church of Delanele will always be open for you." Mrs. Mel was His latest congregation, she used to come to church with Colonel Mel before, and Evan hoped to use this method to calm her emotions and get more information from her words.

"Oh, Mr. Pastor." Mrs. Mel's expression was almost a little surprised, as if she hadn't noticed that Evan was here before: "Thank you for your generosity, I understand." She nodded a little uncomfortably, It seemed like he was perfunctory.

Evan frowned in confusion. Although Mrs. Mel is a new believer, if Evan remembers correctly, he is still very enthusiastic about churches and churches. Anyway, he is [-] times more enthusiastic than Colonel Mel. Looking at her from time to time, she seemed a little weird.

"Is there anything difficult for you?" Evan asked tentatively.

Mrs. Mel subconsciously glanced at Evan, tightened her hands that were originally on her knees, forced a smile on her face, and whispered: "No, no, thank you for your invitation."

Evan nodded, but the doubts in his heart did not dissipate.

Afterwards, several people talked a lot about Colonel Mel. Duke Wilson hardly made a sound. He did such a terrible thing, but when Mrs. Mel talked about him, the expression on her face was still flat, and there was even a hint of softness flashed at certain moments, completely unaware of her husband's anger and anger after cheating. Not reconciled, but when talking about him being wronged, his tone became excited.

This kind of weird emotion made Evan sigh for Mrs. Mel. It seems that she may love Colonel Mel to the bottom of her heart. She would be so tolerant of betraying her feelings and betraying her marriage. This made Evan feel a little guilty about the question he was about to ask.

But Evan will not give up his questioning because of this at all, because he knows very well in his heart that Colonel Mel's imprisonment will hit the Duke, so he stopped going around in circles and asked directly: "You knew before that Is it about Colonel Mel and Sister Elisa?" Evan tried to make his expression as cold as possible, and he knew very well in his heart that as a victim in marriage, Mrs. Mel was very likely to know Colonel Mel's betrayal Then, make drastic moves.

As soon as Evan finished speaking, Mrs. Mel's face quickly turned pale, her lips trembled slightly, and she looked at Evan in panic.

"You...you..." She could hardly speak: "How can you say such a terrible thing!" She covered her face with her hands, and big drops of tears slipped from her fingers .

Evan was a little embarrassed for a while, not knowing what to say.

"Mrs. Mel, you..." Evan wanted to comfort him but didn't know where to start.

Mrs. Mel raised her head abruptly, tears were still raging on her face, but her eyes looked clear and simple at this moment.

"I really don't know, please believe me." She said these words, as if grasping the last straw.

Evan was speechless for a moment, he glanced at Duke Wilson who was sitting aside with a cold expression, he could only grit his teeth and nodded: "My lady, I'm sorry I said something that made you sad, of course I believe you Yes, please rest assured, I just want to confirm what Colonel Mel said, so that I can find out who really killed Sister Eliza."

But when Evan said the word "killing", Mrs. Mel trembled. She buried her face in her palm again, and murmured: "Oh, this is so terrible, so terrible, but May this all pass away."

Evan looked at her like this, his expression flickered slightly, but his mouth was still very soft: "Please rest assured, it will pass."

"Thank you for your hospitality today." Duke Wilson suddenly interrupted Evan's gentle persuasion, and said, "It's getting late, let's leave first." He stood up from the sofa and gave a urging look Look at Evan.

Although Evan was taken aback by him, he would not confront him, so he stood up with him and said goodbye to Mrs. Mel politely.

Mrs. Mel looked at Duke Wilson in a little surprise, the tears on her face were still clearly visible, she nodded in a daze, and then sent the two of them all the way to the carriage before going back.

After Evan and Duke Wilson sat in the carriage, he said, "What do you think? Is there anything suspicious?"

Duke Wilson frowned: "I didn't think about Edson at all. It seems that I still underestimate him." Before, he just thought that Edson's concealment was a heinous crime, but Mrs. Mel's words today It made him think of another possibility.

Evan nodded: "This point does need to be paid attention to, but I am very puzzled that Mrs. Mel seems to be a little bit strange, and she always feels a little weird." Although Evan said this, in fact, he and Mel Madam didn't get along with each other before, but it just felt a little weird.

Duke Wilson raised his eyebrows. If Evan is just a little unfamiliar, then he has never met him a few times.

"If you have any doubts about her, then I will find someone to monitor her for a while to see if I can find any flaws, but I think the most important thing at this time is Adelson." Speaking of Adelson's At that time, the expression on the Duke's face was very cold.

Although Evan had doubts in his heart, he still nodded at this time. What the Duke said was indeed correct. Edson, as long as he thought of this name, he would feel a little cold in his heart.
