Guidebook for the Dark Duke

Evan knew very well what Duke Wilson said. If there were no other circumstances, he could not easily refuse. Evan looked at Duke Wilson, who looked calm on the surface, but was actually very nervous, and lightly He smiled lightly: "Then I will trouble you."

Only then did Duke Wilson secretly heave a sigh of relief: "You are too polite, this is nothing to our friendship."

Evan returned to the Cornwall Manor with the Duke of Wilson. Butler Chris had already prepared dinner. Evan took a look and it was for two people.

Evan glanced at Butler Chris, and he was indeed the confidant of Duke Wilson. I am afraid that the person who knows the Duke best in the world is this seemingly inconspicuous butler.

The dinner was very sumptuous, and even a few fish the Duke caught were boiled into a delicious fish soup.

Evan sat across from Duke Wilson, talking and laughing happily with Pastor Robert beside him. Although Duke Wilson kept silent, he would look at Evan from time to time, with a slightly gloomy expression in his eyes.

After dinner, the confused Pastor Robert was helped upstairs to rest, while Evan and Duke Wilson were sitting in the living room, talking about the past few days.

Duke Wilson was very dissatisfied with the events of the past few days, and spoke with a bit of sarcasm.

"After what happened this time, it's time for this respectable Mr. Fold to rest for a few days."

Evan pursed his lips and smiled: "Folder is a smart man. Even though he did something like this this time, he probably won't take any more action."

Evan's affirmation of Fuld made Duke Wilson a little dissatisfied, but he couldn't say anything more, and finally he could only smile slightly ironically.

After that, a very awkward silence fell between the two. Duke Wilson looked at Evan who was sitting under the dim light. His light blue eyes had a strange brilliance at this moment, somehow Duke Wilson's lips suddenly became dry.

Evan has been watching Duke Wilson from the corner of his eye. He noticed that his gaze had been on him, and couldn't help but smile in his heart.

Suddenly, Evan raised his head suddenly, Duke Wilson's eyes had no time to avoid, and the heat in his eyes was completely seen by Evan.

"Duke... Your Excellency?" Evan looked at Duke Wilson with some doubts.

Duke Wilson's heart was extremely broken at this time. He hardly dared to meet Evan's clear eyes. He avoided Evan's sight in a panic, and said in a tone almost stammering: "I...I'm a little tired Alright, let's rest."

Evan looked at Duke Wilson, his handsome side face was slightly flushed, and his eyes were full of panic, it seemed that he was not at all the same as the usual calm and self-possessed Duke.

"Okay." Evan replied calmly.

Duke Wilson quickly stood up as if he was about to receive an amnesty, and turned to leave.

Seeing the Duke go up to the second floor, Evan stood up. Although this night's stay was destined to be nothing, but for some reason, Evan suddenly felt a warm current in his heart, bringing spring The breath made his whole body feel relieved a lot.

This night was the most sound sleep he had had since leaving the Cornwall manor.

Early the next morning, Duke Wilson did not show up at the dining table. Evan looked thoughtfully at the empty seat opposite him, his eyes flickering slightly. He is really a shy person, but he doesn’t know whether he is angry or angry. I don't want to face it.

In the end, Butler Chris personally sent Evan back to the church. When they parted, Butler Chris looked at Evan with a hesitant expression on his face. Evan looked calm, as if he didn’t know anything. Finally, Butler Chris He just sighed deeply, turned around, got into the carriage, and left.

Not long after Evan returned to the church, the church gradually became lively. Yesterday's big scene caused a sensation in the whole of Delaney, especially the poor Pastor Bruce, who received such grievances, making these simple thoughts The people are very guilty, so even if today is not Sunday, these people rushed to the church, apologized to Evan deeply, and asked Evan for forgiveness.

Of course Evan must forgive these people, no matter how disdainful he is in his heart, he will not put himself on the opposite side of most people, especially, for these people now, he is still a kind and noble personality.

After dealing with these people, it was getting late. Evan originally wanted to go home and sleep peacefully, but Sergeant Chandler ran over bluffing, with a look of horror on his face.

"Pastor Bruce!" His tie was ripped crookedly, and he was panting heavily.

"Pastor Bruce!" He held Evan's hand: "I really... really..."

"What's the matter?" Seeing that he couldn't make sense for a long time, Evan asked with a frown.

"Oh! This is really a disaster." Sheriff Chandler held his head in pain and said, "Mrs. Johnson just committed suicide in prison!"

"What?" Evan's eyes widened instantly: "Ms. Johnson is dead?"

Seeing Evan's reaction, Sergeant Chandler quickly waved his hand: "No, no, don't get excited, she didn't succeed, and she was rescued by the police later."

"Oh..." Evan breathed a sigh of relief, but the frown did not come down.

"What's going on?" Evan asked in a low voice.

Sheriff Chandler also looked a little guilty at this time, and said in a low voice: "It's all my fault. I always thought that Mrs. Johnson was definitely the mastermind of this matter, so I was indifferent to her protest, but I didn't expect her to will act like this for this matter.”

"Protest?" Evan frowned, and for some reason, Rael's slightly exaggerated face suddenly appeared.

"What did Mrs. Johnson protest?" Evan picked up his previous doubts at this time. He had a hunch that this matter would not be so simple.

"Oh..." Sergeant Chandler sighed with shame: "Mrs. Johnson kept saying that when she went back, she didn't see Mr. Johnson. I didn't believe it before, but this morning, a homeless man Bursting into the police station, he told me that on the day of Mr. Johnson's death, during the period when Mrs. Johnson disappeared, he had seen Mr. Johnson with a woman who couldn't see her face clearly. Together we returned to Mr Johnson's house."

"The tramp?" Evan was a little puzzled, these witnesses must have appeared too timely.

When Evan talked about this, the expression on Sheriff Chandler's face became even more ashamed: "Oh, it's all my fault. The news about finding evidence was published before, but it was withdrawn the day after Miss Blair appeared. Johnson Madam was very dissatisfied, so she hired a lawyer, paid for it herself, and published a notice, which attracted the homeless man."

"Is there a money reason?" Evan asked.

"I've thought about it before, but it's a pity that this homeless man has evidence. At that time, Mr. Johnson gave him a lot of coins in order to get rid of the homeless man's entanglement. One of them was a cufflink that Mr. Johnson accidentally dropped. It's also engraved with Mr. Johnson's initials." Sergeant Chandler said very annoyed.

Evan raised his eyebrows slightly after hearing this. It seems that this is true. It’s really interesting. It’s hard to find the evidence this morning, but Mrs. Johnson committed suicide at this time. This woman’s scheming is really terrible. Speaking of it now, I'm afraid that all public opinion will be on the side of sympathizing with her, and Sheriff Chandler, who caused this incident, may have a very dangerous reputation.

Evan looked at Sergeant Chandler, who hadn't realized the imminent danger, and secretly smirked in his heart. The most comfortable person in this world is probably a heartless person like Sergeant Chandler, who never cared about it. , and it never counts.

"Master Sheriff." Evan's expression became solemn in an instant, Sheriff Chandler can be regarded as his good friend, and he couldn't watch the Sheriff really be destroyed: "The matter now has become very serious. "

Sheriff Chandler looked at Evan in surprise: "But Mrs. Johnson has been rescued..." he murmured.

Evan gritted his teeth, he really didn't realize it at all: "Although she was rescued, your situation is very difficult."

Sheriff Chandler was a little stunned. He thought for a while, but still couldn't figure it out: "This matter was my negligence, and I will be responsible for my negligence."

Evan couldn't help but sighed: "If this matter develops according to the current situation, I'm afraid you won't be responsible. I'm afraid it's hard to say whether you can keep your position."

Sheriff Chandler looked at Evan in surprise: "This...how is this possible..."

Evan really has some sympathy for himself now. Although Sheriff Chandler is a little smart in handling cases, he is far behind in dealing with people.

"Master Sheriff, Mrs. Johnson is not a simple lady. She chose to commit suicide today. Haven't you thought about why? Now that she has escaped the murder charge, how do you think she will deal with you?" Evan almost It's been said outright.

Sheriff Chandler's expression finally changed at this time: "This... this is really..."

Sheriff Chandler is an old-fashioned gentleman. He never imagined that a lady could be so dangerous.

"Okay." Evan sighed: "Master Sheriff, if you want to keep your position now, you should solve this case as soon as possible, otherwise I can't even imagine the consequences."

Speaking of this Sheriff Chandler couldn't help being a little frustrated: "Oh, I also want to solve this case as soon as possible, but now Mrs. Johnson, who is the most suspect, has been freed from suspicion, and that kid Rael has an alibi. Even if I want to solve the case, it will be very difficult!"

Evan listened to Sheriff Chandler's complaints, his expression changed, and finally he asked tentatively: "Then have you investigated Mr. Rael again?"

Superintendent Chandler raised his eyebrows: "Of course I have investigated it, but that kid Rael is too naughty, and I couldn't ask anything useful, but my wife met Miss Blair a few days ago, you don't know, This Miss Blair has been having a great time these days, and my wife told me that it looks like Miss Blair is leaving here to get married."

Speaking of this, Sergeant Chandler couldn't help laughing. Almost everyone in Delandrell knew that Miss Blair might never get married in this lifetime.

However, Evan was touched by Sheriff Chandler's words, and he almost couldn't help asking immediately: "Why did your wife say that? Is there any evidence?"

Sheriff Chandler was taken aback by Evan's question, and murmured: "Evidence? I don't know about this, but I just heard that Miss Blair is planning to sell her house in the past few days, and everyone in the town knows about it. It was left by Mr. Blair to Miss Blair, who has always treasured her property..."

Evan didn't listen to a word of Sheriff Chandler's last words, but the doubts in his heart were suddenly cleared up. This matter is so obvious in front of him now.
