Dear Mr. Darcy [Pride and Prejudice]

Mr. Darcy realized that he was looking almost rudely at a young lady just now, and immediately stood up.

Emma keenly noticed his embarrassment, and secretly smiled at his innocence. Her soft voice was still a little hoarse in the morning: "I really don't know how to thank you, Mr. Darcy." Although Mr. Kentra and Lao Darcy Mr. West is a good friend, but Mr. Darcy has not had much contact with Miss Kentra and Mr. Kentra Jr. She was really touched by his unreserved help without hesitation.

"Anyone with a sense of justice would not stand idly by on such a thing." For Mr. Darcy, this is not so much a kind of selfless help as it is an obligation and a duty.After a moment's hesitation, Mr. Darcy decided to give some harsh advice, since Emma had no relatives around who could give her advice. "With all due respect, it's too thoughtless of you to be so brave. Haven't you thought about the consequences if you faint immediately? Since you have a maid you can trust, why didn't you send her here?"

"Lisa is not someone you can trust." Emma sighed softly. "Lena is the servant I brought from Yorkshire, and Lisa was sent to wait on me when we came to Swan Manor. I couldn't confirm whether Lisa was bribed at that time. I only confirmed her after I came back last night. I took ten pounds from Lena." She didn't trust any of the servants in the manor.The reason why he approached Lisa was only because Lisa's mind was fairly flexible, and her weaknesses were obvious.In addition to the ten pounds, she guessed that Lisa's family had other things stolen from the manor.When she looked through the memories of the original Kentra Emma, ​​she found that this Lisa might have dirty hands and feet.If she was unlucky and didn't scare Lisa last night, she could go find someone else.

Mr. Darcy frowned. "She sold her soul to the devil when she betrayed her master. Such a person is not worth entrusting secrets to." Mr. Darcy thought that Lisa saw him bring people here and was afraid that things would be exposed, so he confessed to Emma. Emma Momentarily soft-hearted and forgave her.

Of course Emma knew what Mr. Darcy meant. "Lisa didn't know I was the one to ask for help. I told her I had a trusted servant who went to Pemberley for help, but Clark needed to be trusted, so a replacement was needed. Lisa's father was an alcoholic, and she In order to support my younger brother, I asked the housekeeper to keep her. May the Lord forgive my unavoidable lies." Emma seemed a little embarrassed, lowered her eyes and said softly: "I said that I already knew about the fact that she took Lena's money to give to my younger brother, but I don't have to. Go after it, and promise to let her brother go to school in the future."

Though clever, Miss Emma was a little too soft-hearted, thought Mr. Darcy.After he became the master of Bloomberg, he has seen some people like this. They have no moral concepts and are mercenary.If you want to use them, simple lure is not enough, it will only increase their appetite and make them more and more greedy.Mr. Darcy decided to send someone to Lisa's house to search for the ten pounds immediately. With this evidence, there is no need to worry about Lisa blackmailing Emma again.

Seeing Mr. Darcy's solemn expression, Emma turned out the long task list in her mind, and put a tick next to "find a way to get Mr. Darcy to send someone to search Lisa's house".She could of course make a direct request, as she had asked Lieutenant Colonel Fitzwilliam to search Mrs. Richard's house.But that time it was to find the evidence that Clark framed Mr. Kentra Jr. and submit it to the court, but this time it was to secretly hold Lisa's weakness.In order not to give the impression of being cold-hearted and deep-minded, it would be better to let Mr. Darcy take the initiative to do this. "Mr. Darcy, is my brother all right?"

"Mr Kentra Jr. was very emotional when I arrived last night, with only one servant guarding him outside the door. I assured him that the truth would be found and he would receive a fair trial. He calmed down and assured me that nothing had been done. The evil deed of patricide. Mr. Kentra sent someone to bring him a letter the day before yesterday, telling him to go home at three o'clock yesterday afternoon. He went to the study to find Mr. Kentra, knocked on the door several times but did not hear a response, and opened the door. Look, Mr. Kentra has been killed. His mind was blank at the time, and he only wanted to kill the sword, but he heard the exclamation of Clark and Judge Wilson just after he killed him, and then he was arrested. He asked me to tell you , he has not been treated harshly, and sooner or later the law will prove his innocence, so you can rest assured."

This brother!Emma has a headache.Fortunately, he went early. If Clark found a servant who pretended to pour him a glass of poisoned wine or assassinate him, he would definitely knock down the servant and run out. A servant outside the door couldn't stop him at all.Any "accident" on the way to escape could make him die on the charge of patricide.But even when he was in trouble, he still missed his sister, which made Emma have a good impression of him. "My poor brother. Me, can I go and see him?"

It was a reasonable request, and Mr. Darcy would not refuse, of course, to take Emma to see her brother after breakfast.Unfortunately, as it happened, Emma heard that the parish police officer was coming before she had finished her toilet.

The police officer is here.Emma frowned looking at the radiant girl in the mirror. Her body was fine, but she had some rejection reaction from drinking wine mixed with poppies last night, and she felt refreshed after sleeping.But such an image is obviously inappropriate to meet a police officer.

After a long time, poor Miss Emma came down from upstairs.Her complexion was pale, her eye circles were slightly swollen, and her lips were bloodless. She looked like a girl who had just suffered misfortune and suppressed her grief.Lisa followed closely behind her, reporting the latest developments for her in a low voice: "This case involves the Earl, so it needs to be submitted to the circuit court. The parish police officer came to investigate in the morning. The young master is still the most suspected, but the young master is not convicted. You are still the heir to the title, so they decided not to enter the detention center after discussion, and temporarily left three police officers to guard the young master. Now everyone has been banned from approaching there. The doctor invited by Mr. Darcy diagnosed that you had taken an overdose of poppies, Both Lena and Mrs. Richard were taken in for questioning as poisoning suspects. When Lena's room was searched, a letter was found in the soil of the flower pot, but the specific content was unclear. Lena see It seemed shocking to receive the letter.”

Emma bent her mouth proudly.Lena must be shocked, because she should have destroyed the original letter.It's a pity that Lena didn't know that the original Miss Kentra was not willing to part with the last things her beloved left her, so she wrote another letter in imitation Clark's font and handed it to Lena to burn it.This letter was buried in a flower pot in Lena's room before she escaped from Swan Manor last night.Fortunately, Lena's room is on the first floor, and the windows are not difficult to climb.

After enjoying a sumptuous breakfast, Emma, ​​as an important party, will also be questioned by the police officer.In the face of Miss Emma, ​​who looked pale and haggard but suppressed her grief, the parish police officer was very gentle.First, he repeatedly confirmed that her health was fine, and made an exception and asked a maid to stand aside with smelling salts and a fan to prevent Miss Emma from fainting.

Emma clenched her hands tightly, her fingertips turning white. "I was reading a book yesterday afternoon, and suddenly my maid Lena ran in and told me that my brother had killed my father. I passed out at the time. I couldn't believe it when I woke up. I wanted to see my father and brother, but Lena and Mrs. Charlie stayed behind. I was not allowed to go out from my side. After a while Clark came in and he proposed to me. I was terrified. He knew that my fiancé was Colonel Elvin Cruise. We were engaged three years ago. Lena stopped him. That letter..."

"Yes." Officer Kerry interrupted Emma, ​​"I already know, you can skip this paragraph."

It seems that Mr. Darcy has already explained the matter to the police officer, and the male god is reliable.Emma gave Mr. Darcy 233 likes in her heart. "I don't know what to do, I'm very scared. Lena brought me a glass of wine and insisted on drinking it, saying it would help me sleep. I dare not fall asleep, but she was very tough, and Mrs. Richard was watching Looking at me, I had no choice but to have a drink. I secretly absorbed some of the wine with a handkerchief in my sleeve. I felt very uncomfortable, like a fire, but they insisted on me drinking two more glasses. I have no choice ..." Emma was about to cover her face and cry a few times, when the maid beside her swiftly rushed up and put the smelling salts under her nose.This is ammonia gas, Emma quickly held her breath, signaling that she was fine.

"Such a wicked servant!" said a young police officer, expressing his sympathy for the sufferings of the beautiful Miss Emma.Officer Kerry gave him a glare and warned him not to show obvious bias in the interrogation.

After smelling the smelling salts, Emma became honest and dared not exaggerate her sadness. "I felt like I was going to pass out, but I was afraid that something terrible would happen to me when I lost consciousness. I asked Lena and Mrs. Richard to have a drink with me, and then said that I wanted to drink water, and said that the candle light was not bright enough. When I turned around, I twisted the wine from the handkerchief into their glasses. They all passed out after drinking. I couldn't hold on and lost consciousness. I didn't wake up until Lisa came back from the bedroom and called me. She Told me what happened. It was just horrific."

"So Miss Carter's request for help was not at your behest?"

"Miss Carter? Oh, it's Lisa. Yes, I lost consciousness at the time. Lisa said she wanted to come and find me, but she found Lena and Mrs. Richard in the room. She didn't dare to disturb them. So I went to ask for help myself.”

"Okay. We have recorded everything you said." Officer Kerry said sincerely: "Please rest assured, we will fully consider the evidence you provided and find the real murderer as soon as possible."

Miss Emma turned her head slightly to wipe away her tears, and looked at the police officers with a little pleading and trust, looking extremely weak and helpless. "Yes, I believe in you, and I believe that justice will be done."

The author has something to say: Why is the heroine unwilling to tear herself apart with Clark?Because she will act in a play in the next chapter.
