Guidebook for the Dark Duke

Chapter 13 The first clue

"Please wait a moment." Evan held back the bursting smile in his heart, and put down the teacup in his hand: "Your uncle wants to visit Mrs. Sanders?"

"Yes." Sheriff Chandler's expression was a little awkward.

"Then why did you tell me that I can't take care of Mrs. Sanders's personal affairs?" Evan replied with some amusement.

"No...not what you think, Mrs. Saunders is a stern person, and my uncle didn't have the courage to confront him directly, if... if you could tell him something about the church, I believe Mrs. Sanders will not refuse my uncle's kindness." Sergeant Chandler rubbed the back of his head and smiled silly.

Evan sighed deeply and stroked his forehead: "Sheriff Chandler, you will really give me a problem. If Mrs. Sanders finds out, she will definitely kill me."

"How could it be? My good pastor." Sergeant Chandler said excitedly when he saw what was going on, "Ms. Sanders has been single for so many years, if there is a good man who can take care of her, it would be a good thing, wouldn't it?" ?”

Evan thought about it in his heart, but it was the same reason. Mrs. Sanders kept a straight face all day long, and it was not good for him. It would be a good idea if he could soften it because of the family.

"Alright, since it's your request, let me make an exception. Mrs. Sanders is a devout believer. She hasn't prayed in church for a week. Let your uncle take the church Give the holy water and statue to Mrs. Sanders." Evan said with a embarrassed expression.

Sheriff Chandler immediately became happy when he heard it, and he patted Evan on the shoulder vigorously and said: "I knew you had a lot of ideas, that's great, now I can get rid of the horrible Christmas every year gone."

The corner of Evan's mouth twitched when he heard that, Sergeant Chandler is really a candid person!

That night, Evan and Sheriff Chandler ambushed in the corridor of Sheriff Chandler's house. Since this person can send an anonymous letter to expose Alia, she can't sit still this time, see With Alia escaped from birth.

They waited from nine o'clock in the evening until midnight, and Evan was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes. He even felt that it was impossible for that person to come, but when the clock struck three times, the door of Sheriff Chandler's house suddenly The sound came.

A snow-white envelope was handed in from under the door under the moonlight. At the same time, a pair of white and slender hands were seen, which turned out to be a woman. Sheriff Chandler's eyes were full of shock, and he jumped up almost immediately, Opening the door of his own house, looking at the terrified woman outside, Sheriff Chandler's eyes were full of confusion.

"Amy, why are you?"

Evan stood behind Sheriff Chandler, looking over his shoulder at the pale woman in front of him, the same weeping maid he had seen in the kitchen that day.

Amy took two steps back in horror, turned around and wanted to run.

Sheriff Chandler stepped forward and grabbed her by the shoulder: "There are police officers around here, Amy, I advise you not to act rashly!" His voice was low and solemn, almost unlike his usual tone.

Amy was so frightened that she trembled all over. She turned around tremblingly and looked at Sheriff Chandler with despair in her eyes: "You...what do you want?"

Sheriff Chandler frowned at her, and said in a deep voice, "Amy, I should be the one asking you, what are you doing here tonight?"

Amy flinched as if she had been shocked by an electric shock. She didn't dare to look at Sheriff Chandler at all, and looked down at her feet, as if there was a million pounds somewhere.

"Send... a letter." She closed her chin slightly, with a hint of panic in her tone.

"What kind of letter is it? Amy, you are my wife's friend. I don't want to read your letter in front of so many people." Sergeant Chandler rubbed the envelope in his hand with a heavy expression.

Amy lowered her head tightly and said nothing.

The scene froze for a while.

Evan watched such a scene from behind, sighed slightly, and said in a low voice: "Miss Emily, I saw you crying in the kitchen that day, did you lie to me?"

Amy was taken aback, and looked up in a panic. After seeing Evan, her eyes were full of despair: "No... Mr. Pastor, what I said is true."

Evan walked slowly to Amy, picked up an emerald green lace ribbon in her hair with his fingers, and said softly: "Miss Emily, you know I have seen this before."

Amy's whole body trembled suddenly, and she looked at Evan with a look of extreme fear, as if he was about to whisper the devil's whisper in his next sentence.

"I've seen the exact same lace on Miss Alia's head, Amy, tell me, why did this unique headband that John brought back from London appear on your head?" Evan Without any sympathy, the words in his mouth hit Huanglong directly.

Amy's whole body collapsed, and Sergeant Chandler quickly supported him when he saw the opportunity. At this moment, he didn't forget to post: "Pastor, is what you said true?"

Evan took out smelling salts from his pocket and handed them under Amy's nose, with a hint of annoyance in his eyes, but his tone was still calm: "I thought I was wrong before, but then I met Miss Alia again, completely It's exactly the same."

Sergeant Chandler sighed deeply after hearing this, took the smelling salts in Evan's hand, and whispered to the police officer who rushed over: "Send this lady back to the police station, tomorrow morning Interrogate."

The police officers quickly carried Amy into the carriage and hurried towards the police station.

Sheriff Chandler stood where he was, with a sigh in his eyes: "Mr. Pastor, do you know that he used to be my eldest daughter's nanny, but after Lawrence's family recruited someone, she left. I always thought that she She is a reliable girl, but she didn't expect that she would do such a thing and have an affair with Little John? God, this is really terrible."

"As I said, love comes from nothing. Even a humble maid can't avoid it like a noble lady." Evan sighed.

The sheriff nodded deeply, and looked at Evan gratefully: "Mr. Pastor, thank you very much this time. If it weren't for you, this case would not have come to light so quickly."

"Bright to the world?" Evan looked at Sheriff Chandler with some doubts.

"Isn't that clear?" Sergeant Chandler gritted his teeth a bit: "Love breeds hatred! Jealousy is such a terrible demon!"

Evan couldn't help but smiled: "My dear Sheriff, I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. You will understand after the interrogation tomorrow. I won't waste your time now. I'm going back to rest. Otherwise Mrs Haydon would have served the fish raw."

Sheriff Chandler also couldn't help laughing: "Mrs. Haydn's culinary skills are well-known in Delaney, just like her bad temper. Mr. Pastor, you are really a gentle person."

Evan waved his hand with a smile, turned and left Sheriff Chandler's house.

Sheriff Chandler started the interrogation of Amy early the next morning. He also invited Evan to join him. Evan got up early in the morning and received a lot of stares from Mrs. Haydn. In order to get rid of this embarrassment, he immediately agreed .

By the time he arrived at the police station, the interrogation had already started for a while, but obviously, there was nothing to gain, because Amy didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, she just lowered her head with a pale face, and put her hands together. Tightly stick to the lower abdomen.

Evan watched her move with a gloomy expression.

Sheriff Chandler saw Evan coming, and very warmly invited him to sit down.

"Pastor Bruce, you are finally here. We started the interrogation early in the morning, and we haven't been able to pry her teeth open so far. I'm considering whether to take some punishment." When talking about the punishment, the obvious look in Chief Chandler's eyes There was a flash of disgust.

Evan raised the corner of his mouth quickly, and glanced at Amy meaningfully: "There is no need for the sheriff to punish. If Amy stays in this place for one more night, I'm afraid her life will be in danger."

Hearing Evan say this, Amy couldn't help shaking.

Sheriff Chandler looked blank: "What are you talking about? Prisoners will not be abused here, if that's what you want to ask."

Evan smiled lightly, but didn't answer the sheriff's question. He just looked straight at Amy and said softly, "Don't you have anything to say about the things you did to frame Miss Alia?"

Amy raised her head suddenly, with hatred in her eyes: "I... I didn't wrong her! It was her! It was she who killed Master John!"

Seeing Amy finally speak, Sergeant Chandler breathed a sigh of relief, but the words in his mouth became more severe: "Nonsense! Miss Alia is a lady, how could she kill Little John?"

Big drops of tears welled up in Amy's eyes, wet her white cheeks, and wet her skirt: "She doesn't deserve to be a lady at all! Master John loves her so much, he even for She rejected a more excellent lady, but she stepped on his heart and hurt his heart severely, poor Master John, it was all because of her that he fell, it was all because of her!"

Sergeant Chandler frowned instantly. He stared at Emily closely, and asked sharply, "Refused? Fallen? What did John do?"

Amy closed her mouth like a frightened rabbit, with annoyance on her face.

Sheriff Chandler didn't care about this, he looked at Amy with a sneer, and said in a serious voice: "You tell me clearly! If you can't explain clearly, you will stay here forever!"

Amy protested loudly: "It's not fair! I can't stay in this place! Why don't you go and get Aaliyah! I saw her come out of Woodwich Cottage with my own eyes!"

Sheriff Chandler sneered: "Since you saw it with your own eyes, then you are also in that place. Don't you have any suspicion?"

"Me?" Amy seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then cried again: "How could I kill Master John? I'm pregnant with his child!"

As soon as this statement came out, the entire interrogation room fell silent.
