Guidebook for the Dark Duke

Chapter 49 Birthday Banquet

Evan walked into the castle with Duke Wilson and Colonel Mel. As soon as he entered the hall, Evan saw Sergeant Chandler in good spirits.

He swept away the previous haze, and Sheriff Chandler was a little overjoyed at this moment. He saw Evan walking in at a glance, and hurried over from the crowd.

"My lord, Pastor Bruce." He smiled and saluted Duke Wilson, who was walking in the front, but looked at Evan even more excitedly.

Duke Wilson looked at Sheriff Chandler with some annoyance, but with Evan around, he didn't dare to act rashly, so he could only glance at Evan without saying much.

Evan pursed his lips slightly, Sergeant Chandler is really easy to understand, he is so excited, it seems that the case has a clue.

"Mr. Sheriff, I didn't expect to see you here." Evan smiled gently and reservedly.

Sheriff Chandler didn't notice Evan's attitude, and continued to reply excitedly: "Colonel Mel also invited me over, how is your health?"

Evan nodded at Duke Wilson, indicating that he was fine, and Duke Wilson left by himself because he still had social engagements. After the Duke left, Evan said: "Thank you for your concern, my body has recovered almost."

It was not easy for Sergeant Chandler to ask such a greeting. After hearing Evan's reply, he immediately changed the topic to the main topic.

"Pastor Bruce, do you know? The news about the witnesses in the newspapers has already been found."

He looked at Evan excitedly, as if waiting for Evan's question.

Evan sighed helplessly. It seems that Sheriff Chandler will not give up until he reaches his goal today.

"Oh, God bless, I really congratulate you, but I don't know the result?" Evan pretended to be surprised, and then asked.

Sheriff Chandler's interest was finally satisfied, so he stopped whetting Evan's appetite, and immediately replied: "Didn't you say that Rael went to the theater? A lady came to the police station a few days ago and said that she I saw Rael smoking a cigarette at the door of the theater during the interval of the opera, which was exactly what Rael said."

After saying this, he looked at Evan with some interest, as if he was waiting for Evan's compliment.

Evan secretly laughed in his heart, sometimes this Sergeant Chandler is quite interesting.

"Miss? Who is that lady? Do I know you?" Evan asked suddenly.

Sheriff Chandler was slightly taken aback, he hadn't expected Evan to ask such a question.

"It's Miss Blair. She's an old girl. You should have seen her."

When Sergeant Chandler said this, Evan suddenly remembered the lady who had her throat closed and made a terrible voice when he preached for the first time. Evan's eyelids couldn't help shaking, this lady Not a good impression of Evan.

"So that's the case, then, does this mean that Mr. Rael has escaped the suspicion?" Evan said in a low voice with a calm expression.

Speaking of this, Sergeant Chandler's expression couldn't help but dimmed a little: "Yes, although it is a little different from my initial expectation, Mr. Rael is indeed innocent, and he has no time to commit crimes."

Evan lowered his eyebrows, squeezed his cuffs, and said nothing.

Sheriff Chandler regained his strength in a flash, he let out a long breath, and smiled again: "But even so, it can be regarded as a solution to the current predicament, but I still can't release him for the time being, he and Johnson I'm afraid there will still be some grinding for Mr.'s matter."

When he said this, there was a trace of disdain in his eyes, and Evan felt a thrill in his heart, and suddenly remembered something. In this era, homosexual love is still a crime, which made Evan feel a little vigilant in his heart. The matter of Mr. Wilson must not be exposed.

Evan hooked the corner of his mouth slightly, and did not comment on this matter anymore. As a religious person, he is also known for his benevolence and kindness. This matter is really dangerous.

Sheriff Chandler's mind was not that delicate. He didn't realize that it was wrong to discuss this matter with a religious person, and continued: "Since Mr. Rael has ruled out the suspicion, Mrs. Johnson is the most important person in this matter." The suspect, although I don't want to admit it, but the situation at this time has left me with nowhere to go, and it seems that I still have to talk to Mrs. Johnson."

Sheriff Chandler made a look of exclamation, but Evan couldn't help snickering in his heart. Sheriff Chandler, as the most standard man of this era, would never know that an angry woman would do something.

Evan didn't entangle with Sheriff Chandler any more on this matter. Although he still had some doubts in his heart that had not been resolved, the scene at this time was not suitable for discussing these things.

Evan followed Sergeant Chandler into the crowd, and he chatted with the people around him. These people hadn't seen Evan for a long time, and the greetings were mostly. A priest in a small town was seriously injured. This is definitely not the case. A small problem, as early as the first day Evan lived in the Cornwall manor, the news spread throughout DeLanille, but these people didn't know the deeper darkness of the attack.

Evan responded gracefully to the greetings of the people around him. He knew very well that these people may only care about him for a small part. These people are more concerned about the relationship between him and Duke Wilson, and being able to live in Cornwall The Manor, which definitely belongs to the range of the Duke's close friends.

Of course, Evan would not let go of such a good opportunity. When outsiders greeted him, he intentionally or unintentionally played up the relationship between himself and the Duke with understatement. Although it sounds very common, these people are all People in the upper class of society naturally think more, and the way people around him look at him changes for a while.

Evan pretended that he was not aware of these sights, and he picked up the champagne on the table and took a sip.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind Evan: "Evan!"

Evan turned around almost reflexively. Duke Wilson, Colonel Meyer, and a lady were standing not far away.

Duke Wilson called Evan's name. This behavior, which was equivalent to a sworn relationship, made people around him no longer have any doubts about the intimate relationship with Evan and Duke Wilson.

Evan hooked the corner of his mouth slightly, it was really timely.

"Charles." Evan smiled and nodded towards Duke Wilson.

After Evan's words were out of his mouth, the surrounding gasps were audible, and it was a shock to anyone to be able to hear the Duke's name from a mouth.

The expression on Duke Wilson's face softened for a moment, and when he walked to Evan's side, he took the champagne in his hand calmly and put it in its place. You talk."

Evan's vanity has really reached its peak at this time, but he tried his best to restrain the corners of his mouth that wanted to rise, and nodded in an ordinary way: "Okay."

Then the two of them left the noisy crowd and walked towards Colonel Mel.

Because of his identity, Evan also knew that Colonel Mel had a wife before the war, but because of the war, he left for five or six years. When he came back, his wife had already He died in depression, so Colonel Mel also lived a widower's life.

However, due to his ample property and social status, as well as his close relationship with the Duke's family, his widowhood life was not peaceful, and many people were staring at him as a piece of fat. It became very hot, and many families with unmarried daughters, the first person to invite to the banquet was Colonel Mel.

Although the daughters of gentlemen in this era have very nice names, due to the problem of inheritance rights, many girls can get very limited dowries. For this reason, some wealthy gentlemen who are not superior in age have become the first choice.

Colonel Meyer is such a person, but the strange thing is that he was not dazed by such a crazy chase. He was very calm and wandered around under the express hints of the gentlemen, but he didn't say that he wanted to accept a certain lady.

His behavior made many people give up their expectations of him, but at this time, Colonel Mel got married suddenly. It was at this time last year that Colonel Mel married a teacher's daughter, which broke the A bunch of glasses for people.

Evan looked at the Mrs. Mel in front of him. She was not very beautiful, but she looked very comfortable, with a gentle smile and a calm expression. Even wearing a London haute couture evening dress, she seemed to be wearing the most common homely clothes The skirt, even Evan, felt a little comfortable when facing her.

"Hello, my wife." Evan nodded slightly, with perfect etiquette.

Mrs. Mel curled her lips slightly, with a hint of shyness in her smile: "Mr. Pastor, you don't have to be so polite."

Evan smiled and did not answer, but Colonel Mel on the side smiled and said: "Pastor Bruce, Susan has always been a devout Christian. She has heard of your reputation a long time ago, and she really wants to treat you this time. You pour out your heart and seek God's guidance."

Evan's expression changed, so it turned out that it is very good to be able to develop believers, and Evan has not forgotten his own job for the time being.

"The door of the church in Delanele is always open for you, my dear lady." Evan whispered with a smile in his eyes.

Mrs. Mel was relieved to see that Evan was so approachable, and this was her job as Mrs. Mel.

Now that the two had discussed this issue, Duke Wilson couldn't help but interjected: "Evan, your body can't stand for a long time, why don't you go over there and take a rest."

Duke Wilson moved towards the chair in the corner. Evan also felt that his energy was lacking, but Colonel Mel was still standing here. The Duke could say such words, but he couldn't respond, so he pressed the button. The forehead whispered: "It's okay."

Colonel Mel is a very eye-catching person. The relationship between these two people is unusual. Of course, he will not be a spoiler, and immediately said: "It's all my fault. I didn't take care of your condition. You still Rest first, if you are exhausted, it will be the loss of the entire Delanell."

Evan smiled a little reluctantly. This Colonel Mel looked kind and gentle, but he didn't expect to be so talkative.

"Then please forgive me."

Evan couldn't hold it anymore, and followed Duke Wilson towards the corner.
