Guidebook for the Dark Duke

Chapter 117 The Truth

The room fell into an eerie silence. No one spoke or moved. They seemed to be shocked by Duke Wilson's words, and they couldn't find anything to say.

Colonel Mel's face was very ugly. He looked at Duke Wilson with a pale face. His eyes were full of despair and panic. He clenched his fists tightly, as if he was ready to escape from this place at any time.

Sheriff Chandler was the first to come back to his senses and broke the tranquility.

"Duke...Your Duke, I think, I need to chat with these witnesses to obtain testimony." His tone was weak, as if he was a little guilty.

Duke Wilson nodded: "You will get all the help you want, but now Pastor Bruce..." He stopped talking and looked at Sheriff Chandler meaningfully.

Sergeant Chandler's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, he pulled the corners of his mouth a little stiffly, and showed an extremely ugly smile: "Mr. Pastor's behavior has been clarified, of course there is no need to go to the police station, please Don't worry, we will take Colonel Mel into custody, and after three days, you will hear the news of the prosecution."

This case has been backlogged for a long time, and their chief wanted to close the case a long time ago, but he was the one who suppressed it all the time. Now it seems that after investigating a whole circle, in the end, he returned to the beginning.

Duke Wilson nodded in satisfaction. With a sneer on the corner of his mouth, he looked at Colonel Mel, who had been silent with his head down, and couldn't help mocking, "What's the matter? Colonel Mel? Weren't you still very active before? Why? Not saying a word now? Don't you want to admit now that you killed Eliza?"

Duke Wilson's words made Colonel Mel's body tremble slightly. He raised his head and looked at Duke Wilson with a dazed expression.

"Your Excellency, you have won this time."

He said these words very calmly, as if what he was about to face was not the death penalty, but a warm home.

"Eliza was killed by me. She was a lovely girl. Unfortunately, she was so stupid that she wanted to marry me on a whim. This really made me very embarrassed, so I killed her."

The current Colonel Mel seems to be a different person from the former Colonel Mel, who was so affectionate, and his calmness is really scary.

But after hearing these words, Evan frowned slightly, but he still didn't say much.

"It's just... just because of this reason!" Sergeant Chandler's face was flushed red by Colonel Mel's indifference, seeing his appearance, he even wanted to slap him twice.

"You are such a villain! Bastard!" Sergeant Chandler reprimanded through gritted teeth.

But Colonel Mel didn't even frown, his expression remained calm.

"Mr. Sheriff, what you said is absolutely right, that's the kind of person I am." He looked at Sheriff Chandler calmly, without any guilt or shame in his expression.

Sheriff Chandler was dumbfounded.

He had never seen such a shameless person without any sense of shame.

"Mr. Duke, thank you very much for your help." Sergeant Chandler seemed to have given up on reasoning with Colonel Mel, stood up angrily and said goodbye to Duke Wilson: "I am sorry to bother you today, and I am very sorry for Pastor Bruce. Sorry, I'm leaving now."

After speaking, he pulled Colonel Mel's handcuffs and left without looking back.

Looking at Sergeant Chandler who hurried away and Colonel Mel who was slightly staggering from the back, Evan looked unpredictable, and he knew very well in his heart that this was not the end of this matter.

But obviously Duke Wilson didn't think so. He completely let go of the boulder in his heart at this time, and heaved a long sigh of relief. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in the living room, he stepped forward and hugged Evan's waist in his ear. Bian whispered: "What a bunch of annoying people, are you not scared?"

Evan didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment: "Could it be that I am such a weak person in your heart?" Seeing Duke Wilson's slightly panicked look, he couldn't help smiling: "Thank you this time, if not You, I'm afraid I'm going to be a prisoner."

Duke Wilson shook his head, his expression still a little shy: "This time it's because I got you in trouble. If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have gotten into this matter, let alone be framed by Mel."

Hearing him say this, Evan couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart. I'm afraid he has already fallen into this matter. Looking at Mel's preparations today, he may have already set up a trap against himself, but before he Not sure why Mel would do this, but now...

Looking at Duke Wilson's gentle eyes, Evan suddenly felt that he understood Mel's thoughts.

"Charles." Evan lowered his head and whispered in Duke Wilson's ear: "I need to go to the monastery once."

"Go to the monastery?" Duke Wilson looked at Evan with some surprise: "Where are you going and what are you doing? Isn't this case over?"

Evan lowered his eyebrows and smiled: "I still have doubts in my heart, and I need an answer."

Duke Wilson looked at Evan with a frown, slightly puzzled in his heart, but finally nodded: "Since you are worried, go and have a look, I will go there with you."

What he said was very firm, and Evan knew that he couldn't refuse, so he could only smile and agree.

Evan didn't procrastinate on this matter, and they almost immediately took Duke Wilson's carriage and headed towards the monastery.

The abbey is not too close to Delan Lille, so even if Evan and Duke Wilson hurried, they only arrived at the abbey before dark.

The attitude of the nuns in the monastery towards Evan was not good. They belonged to different churches, and there were already big differences.

But even so, the nun still answered and responded to Evan's question, and Evan got a satisfactory answer, and invited the nun to return to Delaney.

Duke Wilson's complexion has become very ugly since Evan started asking questions about the nun, and it was even more difficult to have a good complexion along the way. When Evan saw it, he just smiled, not to mention Duke Wilson, even himself , when faced with this matter, my heart was not very calm.

This night, Evan basically didn't sleep, and he suffered from insomnia for the first time since he came to this place.

Before this, he had never thought much about this world, but this case made him think about his position in this world. People put it in their eyes, but this case made him see the ability of the natives, and made him understand that not everything can be carried out according to his ideas.

When he woke up the next morning, Duke Wilson couldn't help but look sideways at Evan's dark circles.

"Did you not rest?" Duke Wilson asked very worriedly.

Evan just smiled: "Fortunately, as long as this matter is over."

Speaking of this, a distorted expression flashed across Duke Wilson's face again, and Evan couldn't help laughing when he saw it. Perhaps this time, it was also the biggest fall of Duke Wilson.

Last night, Duke Wilson had already contacted Sheriff Chandler. They will meet in Colonel Mel's castle today. Everyone and everything will end today.

When they arrived at Colonel Mel's manor, everyone had already arrived, and Sergeant Chandler came forward with an anxious expression on his face: "My lord, what happened?"

Duke Wilson waved his hands with a dark face, without saying a word, Sergeant Chandler's heart sank, thinking something serious happened.

Evan smiled reassuringly at Sergeant Chandler, and then his eyes were completely focused on Colonel Mel who was sitting in the corner.

He seemed to have broken away from the previous emotional state. At this time, Colonel Mel was like a silent statue, with no vitality in his whole body.

When Evan and Duke Wilson came in, he barely raised his eyelids, and he was still sitting there, but his clenched fists revealed his current mood.

After everyone arrived, Sergeant Chandler was about to ask questions, but Evan spoke first: "Since Colonel Mel is here, why don't Mrs. Mel come down as well, I think about Mel Madam is also very concerned."

"No need!" Colonel Mel raised his head abruptly, and said in a firm tone: "She is pregnant, so there is no need to let her come down. I will admit to everything I have done. Don't torture Katrina anymore."

Evan looked at Colonel Mel with a half-smile, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

"Mr. Colonel, I think at this time, there should be no room for you to refuse. Your spirit of sacrifice is good, but your intention to hide it is also a crime!"

Evan's eloquent words surprised Sheriff Chandler, who didn't know the truth, but Duke Wilson, who knew the inside story, looked even more ugly.

"Aren't you confused? I didn't hide anything, I did all of this!" Colonel Mel finally showed a trace of panic on his face at this time.

But Evan didn't soften his heart in the slightest.

"You don't have to deny it anymore. I have already investigated this matter clearly. Although your sacrifice spirit is admirable, you must understand that all your means are now useless." When Evan said this , with a cold light flashing in his eyes, and Duke Wilson was sitting opposite him, looking at Evan in a trance.

Evan frowned slightly, and the light in his eyes moved slightly, but in the end, he still didn't change at all, and he still looked at Colonel Mel coldly.

Colonel Mel's expression had changed a lot at this time. He looked at Evan in amazement and didn't know whether what Evan said was true or not. He turned his head to look at the butler standing at the door, but before he could speak, But a crying female voice came from upstairs.

"Charlie!" Wearing a white dressing gown, she dashed down the stairs, as if pregnancy had no effect on her. This was Mrs. Mel.

Colonel Mel saw her like this, stood up anxiously, went up to her and hugged her, Mrs. Mel buried her head in Colonel Mel's arms, sobbing loudly: "Oh, Charlie, you Why! This is terrible!"

It seemed that she already knew about Colonel Mel's plea. At this time, she was crying like a child, holding on to Colonel Mel's cuff, and looking at him sadly.

Colonel Mel's eyes were also filled with deep sorrow. He looked at Mrs. Mel as if he was looking at a dream of his.

Evan stood by and watched, but there was always a sneer on the corner of his mouth. He could almost feel Duke Wilson's scorching gaze, but at this moment, he didn't have the slightest intention to take back his ugly side. .

"Mrs. Mel." Evan said slowly, "Or should I put it another way, Sister Eliza?"

Evan's words were earth-shattering, and the room fell into a strange silence.
