Guidebook for the Dark Duke

"You..." Evan couldn't help frowning: "Is what you said true?" This matter is really getting more and more complicated.

"It's true." Colonel Mel's face recovered his previous calmness: "I rejected him." He repeated this sentence again, his lips were slightly dry.

Evan looked at Colonel Mel with a complicated expression. In fact, Sheriff Chandler might not understand why Adelson wanted Colonel Mel to intercede for him, but Evan knew very well that Adelson had done something unforgivable , he concealed the matter of Colonel Mel from Duke Wilson, and Evan also knew very well what kind of person Duke Wilson was, and such a thing was absolutely unforgivable to him, so Colonel Mel refused to help him. Good words are also normal, because even if Colonel Mel has a heart of Buddha, he would not dare to challenge Duke Wilson's bottom line.

But now Edson is dead.

Instead of being quietly disposed of by Duke Wilson, he was killed by someone else. Colonel Mel looked a little stiff.

"What do you mean?" Sergeant Chandler looked at Colonel Mel with some doubts: "Did Edson do something to dissatisfy the Duke?"

Colonel Mel looked at Adelson, with a sad look in his eyes: "You don't have to ask me anymore, anyway, all you need to know is that Adelson will never commit suicide, he still has a son to support, he will not would easily give up their lives."

Sheriff Chandler couldn't help frowning, and looked at Colonel Mel with some irritability. The things he asked today were the only things he asked since he came in, but Sheriff Chandler had something in his heart. I always feel a little uncomfortable, even if Adelson really didn't commit suicide, then who killed him?This matter is now like a mess with no place to start.

"We still need to investigate whether he committed suicide. I will investigate the information you provided." After Sergeant Chandler finished speaking, he turned and left the room.

Evan stood where he was and didn't move his feet until Sergeant Chandler went out, and then Evan quickly whispered: "Colonel, it's come to this point, you'd better be honest, it's not just the people who are suffering now." You."

Evan glanced at Colonel Mel pointingly, and sure enough, he was trembling and his face was pale.

"Is it Katrina?" He almost gritted his teeth and asked, his eyes staring straight at Evan with an unpredictable expression.

Evan nodded slowly: "Mrs. Mel's situation is not good. You have already done something sorry for her. Please don't continue now."

Colonel Mel lowered his head, looking a little sad.

Evan saw that there was something going on, and hurriedly said: "Think about it carefully, the Duke and I are the only ones who can help you now. If you have anything to say, please speak up as soon as possible."

Colonel Mel nodded slightly hesitantly, and said nothing more.

Seeing him like this, Evan couldn't stay any longer, turned around and left.

Mel definitely knew something, and Evan had a faint premonition in his heart. He always felt that there was something in Mel's words, but he didn't seem to spit out easily in his current state. It would be better if Duke Wilson came over. Evan thought in his heart that maybe only Duke Wilson could let Mel tell everything he knew.

Evan left the interrogation room. When he came out, Sergeant Chandler was standing at the door. When he saw Evan coming out, he hurriedly greeted him: "How is it? Did he say anything?"

Looking at Sergeant Chandler's anxious expression, Evan shook his head helplessly: "No, Colonel Mel's tone is very strict." It was already a bit too strict, and there was almost no way to persuade people, Evan thought Some depressed thinking.

Sheriff Chandler couldn't help but feel disappointed: "What the hell is going on with this man! He's still so stubborn even after he's in prison." Sheriff Chandler scratched the back of his head in frustration. Although he was a little careless, he still It can be seen that Colonel Mel has reservations, so he pins his hopes on Evan, but now it seems that even Evan is of little use.

Evan looked at him like this, his heart moved slightly, and he whispered: "Why don't you ask Duke Wilson to come over?"

Regarding Evan's idea, Sergeant Chandler frowned and shook his head: "No, this matter is too closely related to Duke Wilson, and rumors will inevitably spread when he comes here, I don't want to In the end, the Duke was dragged into this kind of thing."

Although Sergeant Chandler had snapped and arrested Mel in front of Duke Wilson, he is still a man of this era, and he can be regarded as the most conservative gentleman of this era. Noble nobles still have natural respect.

Evan lowered his head and pursed his lips. Sheriff Chandler's words made sense, and now is indeed not the best time for Duke Wilson to intervene.

"Well, since that's the case, I want to visit Mrs. Mel." Evan was thinking a lot. Looking at today's situation, Colonel Mel still has a little guilt and concern for Mrs. Mel. If Mrs. Mel If he could come over, he might be able to pry Colonel Mel's tongue.

Sheriff Chandler frowned, thinking of what Evan meant, but he didn't report any hope for it. A person who can betray his wife without saying a word, he doesn't believe that he can have any kindness towards Mrs. Mel. Yu Qing.

"You can go if you want, it's just... well..." Sheriff Chandler couldn't help sighing, this matter has now reached a very tense point, and he continued with a breakthrough point Now the impasse.

Evan could see Sergeant Chandler's anxiety, but he just smiled: "Don't worry, the truth of this matter will be revealed anyway, it's just a matter of time."

"That's right." Sergeant Chandler couldn't help but smiled wryly: "You're right, but what I lack the most right now is the event. If there is no breakthrough in this matter within a week, I'm afraid Scotland Yard will Someone is coming, not only me, but also my boss will be punished, so he has pushed me very hard these days, Pastor Bruce, you have helped me so many times, please help me this time Me." Sheriff Chandler looked at Evan worriedly.

Evan was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled again: "You are too modest, I just did some insignificant things, these are the results of your hard work..."

"No, no." Before Evan finished speaking, Sheriff Chandler stopped his words with a wry smile and waved his hands: "I am very aware of your help to me, and I am also very grateful for your help , your modesty makes you a noble gentleman, but it cannot negate your achievements."

Evan looked at Sergeant Chandler, who looked serious, and was speechless for a while, but finally shook his head and smiled.

**

After leaving the police station, Evan walked towards Mel's manor. He was thinking about how to communicate with Mrs. Mel all the way, but when he walked to Colonel Mel's manor, he found that, All the preparations I had made before seemed a bit redundant.

When he went, Mrs. Mel was sprawled beside the bed in her dressing gown, with her hair loose and throwing up.

The butler happened to see this scene when he led Evan into Mrs. Mel's room.

"Pastor Bruce." Mrs. Mel looked at Evan with a pale face, and the corners of her mouth reluctantly hooked.

Evan felt a little weird in his heart, but on the surface he still smiled at Mrs. Mel with a normal expression, and was about to speak, but happened to see the cross necklace on Mrs. Mel's neck that had just fallen outside the dressing gown.

But before Evan could see clearly, Mrs. Mel quickly put the cross into her clothes, and a look of panic flashed across her face.

Evan couldn't help frowning, the cross just now seemed...something seemed wrong.

But Evan couldn't tell what was wrong for a while, so he could only smile and said, "Are you okay?"

Mrs. Mel smiled absently, but she couldn't help but glanced at Evan out of the corner of her eyes.

"It's okay." She replied anxiously, "I'm just... just a little tired." She pursed her dry lips.

"You can't do this." Evan looked at Mrs. Mel with a serious expression, only seeing Mrs. Mel flustered: "You are looking too bad now, you need treatment, did you please come here? "

Speaking of this, the housekeeper who was originally standing behind Evan couldn't help it: "Madam has never been willing to ask for a doctor, and we don't know what's going on with Madam until now. Madam, just listen to Pastor Bruce's words Well, the pastor is a good friend of the colonel, and the colonel will be worried if you look like this."

Speaking of the colonel, Mrs. Mel's face became paler, and tears welled up in her crystal eyes: "Oh, oh, my poor Charlie."

Evan felt a little surprised for a moment. No matter how he said it, the word "poor" did not match Colonel Mel, and it was still spoken from Mrs Mer.

Realizing her gaffe, Mrs. Mel immediately stopped talking. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said in a low voice, "Yes... I'm sorry, I lost my composure. Well then, please... just ask the doctor to come over. "

The butler couldn't help but glanced at Mrs. Mel, and said, "Madam, are you calling for Dr. Hester?"

Mrs. Mel nodded indiscriminately, her eyes slightly uncertain: "Yes, it's Dr. Hester, please invite him over."

From the beginning to the end, Evan didn't speak, just stood aside, observing Mrs. Mel's every move.

The butler immediately took the order to go out, but Evan was still standing in the distance, with a very calm expression, and had no intention of leaving.

Mrs. Mel felt a little uncomfortable. She squeezed her long fingers slightly, bit her lips and said, "Mr. Pastor, I am really grateful that you came to see me today, but won't this delay your work in the church?"

Evan raised his eyebrows slightly, and smiled: "Don't worry, no, Colonel Mel and I are good friends, and I came to see you for him today. I can only reply to him if you are well."

"You, have you met Charlie?" Mrs. Mel looked at Evan excitedly.

Evan hooked his lips slightly: "Yes, I just saw it."

"Then...then is he okay?" Mrs. Mel's eyes flickered expectantly.

Evan looked at her like this, but a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes.

"He's fine, he's just worried about you." Evan said softly.

Hearing what Evan said, Mrs. Mel seemed to be caught in some warm memories, with a foolish smile on her face, she lowered her head, bit her lips, with a soft smile in the corner of her eyes: "Please Tell him I'm fine and tell him to take care of himself."

"Okay, I see." Evan said in a deep voice.

He suddenly felt that he didn't understand women a little bit. A woman can still be so infatuated after her husband betrayed him. I really don't know if she really loves him too much, or if she is really stupid.

At this moment, the butler had already brought Dr. Hester up, and Evan's expression was slightly shocked, and he looked towards the door.
