Guidebook for the Dark Duke

"Dead?" Ferd looked straight at Duke Wilson: "It's really surprising."

Duke Wilson curled his lips ironically: "Please sit down first. If this matter is revealed, it may take a long time."

Ferd raised his eyebrows and smiled, and sat on the chair beside Evan. The Duke's hands tightened, and his eyebrows frowned.

"My lord duke." Fold spoke again: "What's going on here?"

This question from Ferd was indeed genuinely suspicious. He was an investigator of the church, and since the suspect died, it would be difficult for him to report back without an explanation.

Duke Wilson pondered for a moment, and finally said: "Mr. Johnson was found dead in his bed a few days ago. At first, everyone thought it was suicide, but now a new investigation has begun."

"Re-investigate?" Fuld immediately grasped the point: "Is there any doubt about Mr. Johnson's death?"

"It's his widow who has doubts." Duke Wilson said coldly.

Ferd raised his eyebrows slightly: "I see." He turned to look at Evan, who looked a little pale, and said in a low voice, "Then I don't know how Pastor Bruce thinks about this matter?"

Evan frowned, always feeling that Fuld's words were a bit malicious.

"This matter is under the jurisdiction of Sheriff Chandler, and I'm not very clear about it." Evan replied politely and alienated.

But Fuld still didn't let him go, but smiled again and said: "Really? I heard that you helped the police solve a very difficult case. I thought you had changed your career. detective."

Evan paused, and looked at Fuld, where did he hear about it.

Ferd also saw his doubts clearly, but just smiled: "Don't you know? I have a very good friendship with Judge Conwell of the County Court."

Evan gritted his teeth involuntarily. He almost forgot that the man in front of him was the earl's son. Although he was working in the church now, his communication scope was much wider than that of his bitter pastor.

"Really." Evan smirked: "If that's the case, then you should know that I just made a little effort in that matter, but part of it was solved by Sheriff Chandler's own ability."

Fold looked at Evan and smiled meaningfully. His smile not only made Evan feel very uncomfortable, but Duke Wilson was even more furious.

This is like a provocation to him. In his opinion, Evan is already in his pocket. Although he always thinks that Evan can't have anything to do with himself, he can't tolerate others. At that time, he keenly realized that Fuld's meaning to Evan was unusual.

"Mr. Fold, the purpose of your visit this time is to investigate the embezzlement of church property. Mr. Johnson has already pleaded guilty. If you want to investigate the property issue, you should go to Mrs. Johnson." Duke Wilson said to Fold and Evan. Contact is very dissatisfied.

Ferd looked at Duke Wilson in surprise, raised his eyebrows and said, "You are right, but this matter is so complicated that it still requires the cooperation of Pastor Bruce."

What he said was so reasonable that Duke Wilson couldn't find any words to refute him for a while.

At this moment, Evan said: "Mr. Fold, you should also be able to see that I am seriously injured now, and I am afraid I cannot satisfy your request, but Mrs. It is clear from beginning to end, just ask her to accompany you."

Evan definitely doesn't want to spend more than a second with this man, not to mention the emotional entanglement between the two of them before, but the complexity of this matter now, Evan will never get involved.

Fold was blocked by Evan's words, and was a little speechless for a while, and finally he could only smile lightly: "So that's the case, I don't know about it."

He looked at Evan and frowned. He was hurt, and he looked a bit like it.

Mrs. Sanders was a little embarrassed seeing the scene at this time, so she hurriedly interjected.

"Mr. Ford, don't worry, I will assist you in the investigation of this matter. I have also assisted Pastor Bruce before, so you can rest assured."

Facing Mrs. Sanders, Ferd couldn't say anything weird and could only say softly: "My dear madam, of course I believe in your ability, then I will trouble you in the future."

After all, Ferd was educated as a gentleman, and he dare not really speak out against a lady.

Mrs. Sanders seemed to be very satisfied with Fuld's modest and polite appearance, and nodded with a smile.

The four of them sat together, and three of them had their own ulterior motives. Naturally, this scene couldn't last long. In the end, Ferd had a look and didn't want to make any more entanglements. It is better to observe and observe first, so he immediately bid farewell.

Of course, Duke Wilson didn't want to keep him anymore, and he didn't even do anything superficial, and he was sent out immediately. Mrs. Sanders looked at the Duke in surprise for such an unreasonable behavior of the Duke, but in the end there was nothing much to do. say what.

Watching them walking away, the noble and glamorous expression that the Duke had originally maintained finally sank. He looked at Evan who was sitting beside him thinking, and felt very depressed in his heart. He held back his tone for a long time. He asked a bit sourly, "What is your relationship with this Mr. Fold?"

Evan's thinking was interrupted. He looked up at Duke Wilson, amused by his tangled expression, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Foder was my senior when I was in public school."

"Senior?" Duke Wilson raised his eyebrows: "I see that it's not just a senior."

There was a little resentment in his tone, which made Evan's heart move. Is he still pushing Duke Wilson?Although the Duke now has an obvious affection for him, but this affection is not enough for him to really express his heart, because in the Duke's world, this kind of affection is still dirty and immoral.

Evan hesitated for a while. If he did this, he would be dancing on the wire rope, and it would be impossible to recover. But if he succeeded, then the Duke would be in his pocket, and he could still maintain himself pure and flawless character set.

"When I was in public school, Senior Verde took good care of me." Evan still decided to be conservative first. After all, the Duke is a person of this era, and he needs to be able to accept it little by little. Besides, that matter is also It's not a good thing, he must find time to beautify his black history.

Hearing this, the Duke frowned deeper. He bit his lower lip with a slightly troubled expression.

"I don't think Ferd is a good person." The Duke said suddenly.

Evan froze suddenly, then smiled again: "I can assure you that there is nothing wrong with Senior Verde's character at all, he is a very gentleman."

Hearing this, the duke couldn't stop the sourness in his heart, but he couldn't really show his hideous side in front of Evan. In the end, he could only turn his head away in anger, saying No hair.

Evan looked at the Duke's back, and slightly hooked the corners of his lips. Very well, this matter still needs to be promoted bit by bit.

At this time when the relationship between the two was delicate, Edward ran down from upstairs. Evan was seriously injured these days and had not seen Edward. Now that he was able to walk a little, the Duke allowed Edward to visit him.

Edward ran straight towards Evan, but when he reached Evan's side, he stopped cautiously. He touched the back of Evan's hand and whispered: "Evan, are you better?" ?”

Evan stroked Edward's head with a smile, and said softly, "It's much better, my lord."

Such a simple conversation made Duke Wilson stunned.

Evan?his name?

In fact, he has always known it, but no one has ever called him this way. Now that he heard such a name, Duke Wilson suddenly felt a little fluctuating for some reason.

After hearing this, Edward carefully snuggled into Evan's arms, avoiding his gauze-wrapped chest, just lying on his knees, raised his head and looked at Evan without blinking. .

"Evan, you are really brave." Edward almost looked at Evan with a look of admiration.

Evan looked at Edward with some surprise, but Duke Wilson coughed lightly at this moment, and said in a low voice: "I have already told Edward about your act of saving me before, he is my heir, and there are some things I still need to know. "

Evan suddenly realized that the behavior of this group of aristocrats in educating people is really predictable. Educating a child as an adult, if nothing else happens, the child will either mature prematurely or collapse in the future.

"I see." Evan smiled, and looked down at Edward again: "My lord, thank you for your praise, but I have heard enough compliments these days, and it has already made me a little at a loss."

Edward looked at Evan, showing a soft smile, which was not at all the same as his previous withdrawn appearance, but revealed a touch of freshness.

Evan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Fortunately, this child did not grow crooked, otherwise he might be even more difficult to deal with than Duke Wilson when he grows up.

"Okay Edward." Duke Wilson said suddenly: "Mr. Pastor can't sit for a long time, and it's time for you to have lunch. Come in."

Duke Wilson suddenly found that he really didn't like having his alone time with Evan ruined.

Edward looked at Duke Wilson with some grievances, but he didn't dare to refute a word, he took a step slowly and followed the maid behind him and left.

Evan watched Edward go upstairs, then turned to look at Duke Wilson, and said in a low voice: "My lord, Mr. Johnson's matter is too complicated this time, I would like to ask you to help me with this matter , Your Excellency the Bishop attaches great importance to the image of the church, I am afraid that there will be some changes."

Seeing Evan's serious look, Duke Wilson suddenly felt a little excited for some reason. This was the first time he asked himself something.

Duke Wilson tried his best to restrain the turmoil in his heart, cleared his throat in a low voice, and said helplessly, "This matter is so complicated, I'm afraid it's not easy to investigate."

He peeked at the frowning Evan, wanting to see how he would react.

Evan also didn't expect that Duke Wilson would give him a soft nail. He glanced at Duke Wilson, but he saw a secret expectation in his eyes, and Evan knew it in his heart.

"My lord duke." Evan's expression was very serious: "I'm sorry for making such a request, but this matter is too important, if you can't help me, I really don't know who to go to gone."

Evan lowered his head in frustration, but there was a secret smile on the corner of his mouth.
