Guidebook for the Dark Duke

Evan's question was like a heavy hammer hitting Dr. Hester's face. His face was stiff for a moment, and then a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face: "You know, last time Lord Edward She dare not face the Duke again."

Only then did Evan realize that what he did last time actually caused such a series of reactions.

"Didn't anyone sneak back?" Evan continued to ask.

"Yes, but none of them have anything to do with John, only Alia..." Dr. Hester was almost speechless.

Evan sighed: "Is there really no problem with your speculated death time?"

Dr. Hester was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and Evan's expression moved, and he immediately asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

Dr. Hester hesitated for a moment, and said with a shy expression: "Actually, at the beginning, I estimated the time between ten o'clock and eleven o'clock, which is the period after the end of the fireworks display, but... "

"But what?" Evan frowned nervously.

"But when I checked the corpse, I found that John's house had been lit with a stove. As you know, the place where John died was in front of the fireplace. If the indoor temperature is too high, it will affect the changes in the corpse, so I According to the lighting situation of the stove, the time of John's death was moved back by one hour, and now..." Doctor Hester looked embarrassed and struggled.

After hearing this, Evan gasped, frowned, and said, "You are too confused, how could you handle such important news so casually, maybe the stove was left by the murderer to cover up people's eyes, maybe you It should be reported to Sheriff Chandler, let him investigate this, and then you are making a decision, aren't you?"

Dr. Hester was ashamed: "I... I just thought..."

"I'm afraid you've read too many mystery novels, and some things are not as simple as they seem on the surface, Doctor Hester, I still suggest that you do another autopsy, and stop making decisions so easily. "Evan's voice was a little harsh.

Dr. Hester nodded immediately as if he had grasped the straw, "What you said is very reasonable. It was my previous mistakes that caused this result. I will go to Sergeant Chandler now. Explain."

Evan nodded, but suddenly he thought of another question: "By the way, Dr. Hester." He grabbed the doctor's arm and said, "I want to ask you, is Alia going to see John?" How did you know about it?"

Hester opened his mouth wide for a moment, was stunned for a moment, and finally said: "Yes... Someone sent an anonymous letter to Sheriff Chandler's house yesterday, saying that he saw Alia had been to John's house."

When Evan heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Since someone saw it, it meant that someone else had been to Woodwich House that night.

Dr. Hester left in a hurry, but Evan was completely quiet. This matter is so tortuous and bizarre, it seems that there are still big problems.

In the afternoon, Dr. Hester came again. At this time, he was much more relaxed than in the morning. He held Evan's hand almost gratefully, and said, "Pastor Bruce, thanks to your advice, Sheriff Chandler has gone to investigate this matter, and the ashes of the fire were sent to Scotland Yard by the sheriff for inspection, I believe that Alia will get rid of this matter as soon as possible."

Evan nodded with a smile, and said softly, "That's good."

Seeing Dr. Hester's relieved look, Evan's expression changed slightly, and he asked again: "Then the person who exposed Miss Alia at that time has been found?"

Hearing this, Dr. Hester's face suddenly became a little angry: "I really don't know who is so despicable and shameless. Sheriff Chandler also mobilized the police to search for him, but he couldn't find this person. I guess it must be this person who killed him." John, and then framed poor Arya."

Regardless of Dr. Hester's inferences mixed with personal feelings, it is inevitable that this person must be a key point in this case.

"Don't get excited, Alia's matter hasn't been clarified yet, so don't worry about it." Evan comforted Dr. Hester with a few words, but he suddenly came up with a way, since this matter is so confusing , why not let him make this matter a little more complicated.

Evan sent away Dr. Hester, but he himself went to see Sheriff Chandler. This matter must be resolved as soon as possible, and the world must be put back on track as soon as possible, otherwise he does not know what will happen .

Sheriff Chandler is very busy now, and when he saw Evan, he didn't have a good face.

"Pastor Bruce, you came at a really bad time." Sergeant Hester held a piece of bread in his mouth and a stack of documents in his hand. The police station was very busy and noisy everywhere. Robe, but instead became a different kind.

Evan took the document in his hand with a smile, and said softly, "I'm here to find you today. I have a way to help you find the person who wrote you the anonymous letter. Do you want to try it?"

Sheriff Chandler couldn't help frowning: "First, Dr. Hester pretended to be a police detective to delay the case. What advice do you have now?"

What Sergeant Chandler said was a bit harsh, but Evan was surprised when he heard it: "No, it's not a good idea, it's just my opinion. Since this person will send an anonymous letter to expose Miss Alia, I'm afraid she Not only is there a grudge with Alia, but I am also involved in this matter, why don't you release Miss Alia temporarily, I'm afraid this person won't be able to sit still."

When Sergeant Chandler heard this, a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes. He hurriedly took the document in Evan's hand, and said with a smile, "My good pastor, sit down quickly."

Evan sat down with a smile. Sheriff Chandler randomly placed the documents on the table, but he turned around in the office excitedly: "This method is good, but there are still some hidden dangers."

"Jack!" Sheriff Chandler yelled out of the house.

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old policeman poked his head in: "What do you need from me?"

"You go to Jim and Pete, the three of you will follow Miss Alia from today, don't let her out of your sight." Sergeant Chandler ordered vigorously.

Jack looked at the sheriff in confusion: "Isn't that lady locked up in prison?"

Sergeant Chandler patted the officer on the shoulder heavily, and said with a smile, "Not anymore! We're going to let her out."

"Let it go?" The policeman was even more puzzled.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense with me here, and go to your business." Sergeant Chandler pretended to kick him, and the little policeman immediately ran away in fright.

Watching the little policeman run out, Sergeant Chandler laughed happily, but Evan's mouth twitched a little as he watched from the sidelines.

After Sergeant Chandler gave these instructions, he turned to look at Evan excitedly: "Pastor Bruce, you are really my lucky star. If this matter succeeds, I will definitely not forget your help." .”

After hearing this, Evan just waved his hand: "Let's forget it, I don't want someone to be wronged to make such a bad move, I just hope that God will not blame me for my lies."

Sergeant Chandler grabbed Evan's hand and laughed loudly: "Don't worry! You are bringing the bad guys to justice. God will thank you."

For Sheriff Chandler's words, Evan could only respond with a wry smile.

This time, Sheriff Chandler personally sent Evan outside the police station, and he didn't go back until Evan turned the corner.

Evan didn't take the carriage this time. He walked along the small road in the town towards his hut. If his guess was correct, he probably already knew who the person who exposed Alia was, but there was no evidence that he also I can't do anything to that person, I just hope that this plan will work, and that person will be arrested, so that they can really know what happened that night at Woodwich Cottage.

It was already dark when Evan returned to the pastor's cottage, but he found Tom was waiting at the door, saw him coming back from a distance, and ran over in a hurry.

"Pastor Bruce, the Duke is here!" Tom looked excited.

Evan was a little surprised that Duke Wilson actually came.
