Guidebook for the Dark Duke

"Why?" Sergeant Chandler stared blankly at Colonel Mel and Elisa: "Why did you do such a terrible thing?" He murmured in disbelief.

Colonel Mel hugged Elisa tightly. He seemed to find it a little funny at Sergeant Chandler's question, and curled his lips mockingly.

"Why? Don't you think it's funny to ask this question at this time?" He seemed to have given up at this time, and his expression was completely undisguised indifference and sarcasm.

"If I want to be with Eliza, then someone has to sacrifice. Do you think it's such an easy thing for a nun to leave the church?"

Sheriff Chandler looked at him with a very complicated expression.

Evan chuckled at this moment: "You killed poor Mrs. Mel so that you could be with Sister Eliza. Is this what you call sacrifice?"

Colonel Mel turned his face to look at Evan, with obvious cold indifference in his expression.

"She's just a country bumpkin from a small place. I gave her status and wealth, so of course she has to pay something."

His cold words caused Sergeant Chandler's heart, which was already on the verge of rage, to explode. He rushed to Colonel Mel, lifted his collar viciously, and punched him in the stomach.

"Scum!" he cursed viciously.

Colonel Mel curled up in pain, clutching his throbbing abdomen, he couldn't stand up straight.

"You are such a beastly person, I misjudged you before!" Sergeant Chandler scolded with disgust.

Colonel Mel laughed at this moment: "Hahahahaha..."

His laughter was so exaggerated that everyone couldn't help but look sideways.

"Sheriff Chandler." He turned his face to look at the sheriff: "This world is like this, what is right or wrong? If my crimes are not exposed today, then in your heart I am still That venerable colonel, and my wife is still a poor-born Katrina, you only condemn me because my crimes have been discovered, but how do you know if there are other man, his crimes, you may never find out in your life."

When he said this, he glanced at Duke Wilson standing behind Evan with a gloomy face, and felt very heavy in his heart. Maybe others don't know the character of the Duke, but he knows it better than anyone else.

Sheriff Chandler didn't notice Colonel Mel's little move, he still gave him a contemptuous look and said in a cold voice: "I advise you to put away your rhetoric, the crimes you committed are enough for you to be hanged .”

Colonel Meyer didn't seem to hear the blatant threats from Sheriff Chandler, and his face remained normal.

Seeing his appearance, Evan couldn't help but smiled: "Mr. Sheriff, I don't think you can forget Sister Eliza in this matter, as I said, Mrs. Mel was Colonel Mel had an alibi before the killing, but Sister Eliza didn't, I'm afraid there is still a world of who killed poor Mrs Mel."

As soon as Evan said this, Eliza, who was curled up in Colonel Mel's arms, couldn't help but flinched, Colonel Mel also hurriedly stood up, and said coldly: "Pastor Bruce, you don't need to provoke me anymore. Divorced, it was indeed me who killed Katrina, and it had nothing to do with Eliza."

His anxious appearance made him look even more suspicious. Sergeant Chandler looked at the weak-looking Eliza suspiciously, as if he didn't believe it.

"Are you sure, Pastor Bruce?" He couldn't help asking.

Evan nodded, a glint of light flashed in his eyes: "If you conduct an in-depth investigation, you will find that during the period of Mrs. Mel's death, Colonel Mel was going to a farmhouse on the road to the monastery, because he A sudden kindness helped a poor farmer get rid of the little gentry's rent-seeking."

While saying these words, Evan kept his eyes on the movements of Colonel Mel, watching him frown, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. He is not such a noble person, but he was indeed the captain of Mayer before. Colonel Erle treated him as a good friend. He got rid of the crime for him, not only for Duke Wilson, but also because of his self-righteous friendship, but he did not expect that he would suffer such a betrayal in the end.

Evan will never easily let anyone who treats him like this go.

"Although...even so..." Colonel Mel's face showed a trace of anger: "but would I do this kind of thing myself? I asked Adelson to do it, and it has nothing to do with Elisa relation."

"Edson?" Evan looked at Colonel Mel with a sneer: "Before the duke and I came back, I believe you did not try to bribe Mr. Adelson, Mr. Adelson as your scapegoat, I believe you He would not have been involved in this matter so early, otherwise, based on Mr. Adelson's cognition, he would never cooperate with you. The reason why he committed suicide under your coercion in the end was simply because He completely lost the Duke's trust, he was desperate, and his son's illness was completely hopeless, so he fell into your trap, not to mention..." Evan looked at Colonel Mel and smiled, and said The most important part of this matter.

"What's more, if you can really bribe Mr. Adelson so easily, why did you design such a complicated bureau, wouldn't it be easier for Mr. Adelson to kill and then be arrested?"

After listening to these words, Colonel Mel felt as if he had suffered some kind of heavy blow, and his originally straight back collapsed completely.

"You...you..." He pointed at Evan with trembling hands, his face turned pale, and he couldn't say a word for a while.

Sergeant Chandler finally came to his senses at this time, and looked at Eliza who was curled up in Colonel Mel's arms in disbelief.

"This..." He was speechless for a moment. He couldn't believe that the person who did such a terrible thing would be such a weak lady. Thinking about the tragedy of the corpse, Sergeant Chandler I couldn't help but feel chills in my heart, it's just...just...

"She didn't do it." Colonel Mel said with a livid face and gritted his teeth: "I sent someone else to do it. She just followed my instructions and exchanged identities with Katrina."

Colonel Mel refused to admit it, but Evan just sneered. The more Colonel Mel denied it, the more real it could be proved.

"Charlie."

Suddenly a cold female voice came from Colonel Mel's arms.

Everyone was attracted by the voice and looked towards Colonel Mel's arms.

Eliza raised her head slowly, the tears in her eyes that made people feel distressed were gone now, and the only thing left was boundless desertedness.

"Charlie, don't say any more." She seemed to be enduring some kind of pain, and there was a flash of struggle on her face: "I did that thing." She said this sentence slowly.

Colonel Mel's face changed suddenly, he grabbed Eliza's arm, and said sharply, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Eliza turned her head to look at Colonel Mel, but there was a bleak smile on her lips: "Charlie, don't hide it for me, I want to tell this matter." Her face was soft like a warm spring day Yang, but there is desolation and sadness hidden in the eyes.

Colonel Mel pursed his lips in pain, as if he wanted to say something, as if some kind of emotion was brewing in his chest, but in the end he didn't say a word, and slowly let go of his hand.

Eliza turned her head to look at Sergeant Chandler again. She raised her hand and stroked the broken hair behind her ear, revealing the earlobe that she had been covering all along. There was a red mole on the earlobe. Against the background of the skin color, it looks unusually dazzling.

"This is the only difference between me and Katrina." Eliza said softly: "I have a mole on my earlobe, but she doesn't. In order to cover it up, I destroyed her face. That's the only way , so no one will pay attention to why her earlobes are rotten."

She said such cruel words, but the expression on her face was still gentle and pure.

"I thought so too at the beginning, you know? When Charlie told me about this plan, I was very opposed to it. I don't think we should treat a poor woman like this. It's really cruel." Maybe Recalling something, she couldn't even help smiling.

"But as this matter progressed, I found that my mood has changed." She looked straight into the void, as if she could see something from there.

"Obviously I am the one Charlie loves, but Katrina is the one who gets married with him, and Katrina is the one who gets his endless tenderness, and Katrina is the one who can be called a husband and wife with him, and I can only Nested in that small monastery, nestled in that boundless dark corner, walking alone, why? Why?" Her tears flowed down his fair cheeks, but at this time she was not as weak as before , the only thing left is pure sadness and endless pain: "Obviously the person he loves the most... is me!"

She said such words as if accusing, and everyone present fell silent.

"So, when I was facing her cold body, I told myself that I was trying to prevent people from discovering the difference between us, but when her blood splashed on my face, I realized that, It turns out that I have been looking forward to this day, looking forward to killing her, killing this person who has taken my position, my love, and my identity!" Eliza's face became crazy, and her eyes hid With the deepest darkness.

Evan watched her silently without saying a word, but Sheriff Chandler was already shocked at this time. He couldn't do anything rude to a lady, so in the end, he could only ask with a trembling voice. : "You...are you crazy?"

Eliza suddenly raised her head to look at Sheriff Chandler. She hooked the corners of her mouth, as if she wanted to laugh, but the tears on her face and the madness in her eyes made her look completely weird. .

"I should be crazy." She replied softly, "I should have been crazy long ago after staying in that place for so many years."

"Elisa." Colonel Mel hugged Elisa from behind, he buried his head tightly in Elisa's neck, and there seemed to be a flash of grief on his face: "Stop talking, Elisa, It's all over, it's all over..." He seemed to murmur soothingly.

Evan watched this scene, his eyes flashed with a light that others could not understand. He turned around and whispered: "I want to leave this place."

After speaking, he strode outside.
