Chapter 18: why fall
Regardless of the relationship between Evan and Duke Bruce, Sheriff Chandler still put the investigation line of sight on the new Miss Catherine.
Miss Catherine is a true lady, her father is the son of an earl, and is currently serving in the House of Lords, so it seems that her background is better than that of the doctor Arya Daughter is much better.
Miss Catherine lives at the Drence Hotel in Delan Lier, located on the seafront in Delan Lier, the scenery is very beautiful, Sheriff Chandler is reluctant to face this identity alone The noble lady, so she dragged Evan along with her.
Evan was a little dumbfounded. Since he met Sheriff Chandler, his own job has come in the back. Dean George looked at Evan with almost a bit of sadness.
"Good boy." Chandler patted George on the shoulder: "You just lend me this good pastor for a while, these ledger things, you can do it later, you know, What I'm doing now is a big deal for the whole of Derain."
George had no room to speak in front of Sheriff Chandler, he was not as authoritative as Mrs. Sanders, and finally nodded with a bitter face.
Sheriff Chandler and Evan rode in a carriage to the Delence Hotel, which is a newly opened hotel in Delence. It is gorgeously decorated, beautiful and comfortable. The best hotel in Seoul.
Sheriff Chandler asked the hotel manager for Miss Catherine's room number, and then went straight to Catherine's room. For Sheriff Chandler, this may be the last time he proves his reasoning Opportunity.
When Sheriff Chandler knocked on Catherine's door, Catherine's face showed a very surprised expression.
"Mr. Sheriff? Pastor Bruce? Are you... what's the matter?" Catherine's pretty face was hesitant.
Evan smiled and did not speak. Sheriff Chandler had to say, "We want to ask you something about John."
There was a complex look on Catherine's face, neither sadness nor resentment.
"Please come in." Catherine stepped aside and let Evan and the sheriff come in.
Miss Catherine's room is the best room in Drence. The three suites are luxurious and exquisite, not like a hotel, but like a beautifully decorated apartment.
Miss Catherine invited Evan and the sheriff to sit down and poured tea for them both. The mellow black tea leaves a fragrant aftertaste on the tongue.
"Miss Catherine." Sheriff Chandler did not appreciate the black tea, and immediately said after taking a sip: "I heard that you have a very close relationship with John. Do you know anything about his situation?"
Catherine's eyes suddenly burst into anger when she heard these words: "I don't know where you heard the rumors, John and I are just friends, I came to attend him this time. The funeral is just doing the duty of a friend."
Sheriff Chandler looked sharp: "Miss Catherine, I advise you not to lie to me. You must know that I am a policeman, and you should stop struggling with some things."
Catherine glanced at Sheriff Chandler almost resentfully, she gently invited her lower lip, her hands trembled slightly: "Since you already know, ask me what to do, John You rejected my engagement with me, do you still expect me to be closer to him?"
"Since you hate him so much, why did you come to his funeral?" Sheriff Chandler quickly caught the loophole in Miss Catherine's words.
Miss Catherine finally couldn't help collapsing. She stood up abruptly and turned around, with trembling fingers, she took out a cigarette and lit it.
Sheriff Chandler is an old-fashioned man, and was stunned to see this scene.
When Miss Catherine turned around, she was already in tears.
"Okay, since you want to ask me why, then I'll tell you." Miss Catherine raised her hand rudely and wiped the tears from her face: "Because I love him! I love him Are you satisfied!" She shouted at Sheriff Chandler almost hysterically.
"I've known him since he was in Cambridge, but it's an insult to me that he'd rather be with the daughter of a doctor who came out of nowhere! I'll never forgive him!" Catherine's fingers were trembling and she could barely hold the cigarette, her face slightly grim.
Sheriff Chandler was stunned for a moment. He never knew that these gentle and noble ladies on the surface actually had such a side.
"You... don't get excited, I can understand your mood, but Mr. John is dead now, don't you want to say anything?" After a long silence, Chandler police officer Chang finally said in a slightly embarrassed tone.
Catherine finally calmed down at this time, she put out the trembling cigarette **** in the ashtray, and sat down with her arms folded.
"What do you want to ask? Just say it." Catherine looked away and said coldly.
Sheriff Chandler looked back at Evan, Evan lowered his head and did not speak, Sheriff Chandler had to continue: "Do you know what happened to Mr. John What? What was the reason for his fall?"
Speaking of this, Miss Catherine's face twitched for a moment, but she calmed down immediately: "I don't know what you are talking about."
Sheriff Chandler was a little irritable for a while: "Miss Catherine, I remind you not to go around in circles with me. Otherwise, I can invite you to the police station no matter who your father is. "
Catherine's eyes widened for a moment: "You can't do this to me! It's all his fault! If he didn't humiliate me like that! I wouldn't do that!"
Miss Catherine obviously misunderstood Sheriff Chandler's words, Sheriff Chandler's eyes lit up and immediately said: "I don't care about this kind of thing, now Mr. John is dead , My task is to arrest the prisoner, Miss Catherine, you are a lady, you should not want to go to prison, right?"
Catherine's expression suddenly became painful. She lowered her head and put her hand on her forehead, silent for a while, and finally said: "I will tell you everything I know, but John's death is true not my business."
Sheriff Chandler was delighted, but his face pretended to be serious: "That depends on what you are talking about."
"You will be satisfied." Catherine raised her head and said dryly: "John rejected my father's proposal at the time, I was very annoyed, I ran to ask him, but he said he liked it It was Arya, and I couldn't accept this result, so I found someone to lure him into marrying an opium den, and he... got opium."
"What!" Sheriff Chandler almost jumped up in surprise: "Little John is infected with opium! This is impossible, the Lawrences will kill him!"
Wen also had a surprised look on his face. He didn't expect that he had actually guessed a part of Sheriff Chandler. This Miss Catherine was really not a good person.
"Don't you know?" Catherine looked at Sheriff Chandler with some doubts.
The sheriff laughed dryly: "I only know that John may fall, but I don't know that he..."
At this time, Catherine finally realized that Sheriff Chandler had bombed her before, but it was too late to say anything, she had to look at Sheriff Chandler with some annoyance: "You really are not An honest man!"
Chandler's expression was very solemn at this time: "Is it wrong to tell some white lies to catch John's prisoner? It's you, you do this to destroy John Can the life of a man be called noble?"
Catherine's expression was a little stiff, but her eyes were stubborn: "He ruined my life, and I will ruin his! Because of him, my social circle in London has become a Joke, doesn't he need to be responsible!"
Sheriff Chandler couldn't help sighing, some things are really unclear to outsiders.
Finally, after Chandler and Evan said goodbye to Miss Catherine, they left the Durance Hotel.
Chandler's face was a little dignified, he quickly took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, took a sip, and then said: "I really suffocated me just now."
Evan stood calmly upwind and said solemnly, "What do you think of this Miss Catherine?"
Sheriff Chandler sighed: "This lady is really amazing, Little John just rejected the proposal, she would be so cruel, the Lawrence couple... Alas!" Chandler The sheriff sighed again.
Evan lowered his head and fiddled with his cuffs, and said in a low voice: "Now you should believe what I said, Mrs. Lawrence, the biggest suspect is now, you should overcome your feelings towards Mrs. Lawrence. Inherent impression, objectively investigate this matter.”
Sheriff Chandler threw away the cigarette **** in his hand, looking a little dejected: "I know, Pastor Bruce, I was too subjective before, thank you for your help."
Evan smiled and patted Sheriff Chandler on the shoulder, and said nothing.
Sheriff Chandler sent Evan back to the church. Dean George was waiting anxiously at the door. Seeing Evan coming back, he hurriedly greeted him.
"Pastor Bruce, Mrs. Lawrence is here."
Evan and Sheriff Chandler who was saying goodbye to him froze.
"What's the matter with her?" Evan asked hesitantly.
"She...seems to be asking you to expel the Hester family from the parish..." George agreed.
"Nonsense!" Evan said angrily. He did not expect Mrs. Lawrence to be so unreasonable.
"Dr. Hester and Miss Arya are both devout churchmen, how can I expel the believers of God!"
As soon as Evan's voice fell, Mrs. Lawrence walked out: "Pastor Bruce, John is dead, it's all Arya's fault, I must make him pay!"
"It's all the murderer's fault, how can you blame Miss Arya?" Sheriff Chandler said the truth.
Mrs. Lawrence's face was flushed, and she could not say a word.
