Chapter 35: the surviving
"What's your purpose?" The Duke's tone was very cold.
Mrs. Johnson looked calm, she looked straight at Evan, who was half-sideways on the bed, and said warmly, "Sir, I'm here to find Mr. Pastor."
Mrs. Johnson's attitude was modest, but her tone was not at all flinching, but rather aggressive.
Duke Wilson frowned, looking at Mrs Johnson with a colder expression.
"Mr. Pastor is seriously injured, if you have anything to say, say it as soon as possible."
Mrs. Johnson was blocked by Duke Wilson's words, and after a while she said: "I want to talk to Mr. Reverend alone, I need to repent."
Mrs. Johnson said these words, Duke Wilson was also a little speechless. After all, Mrs. Johnson is still a Christian, and she still has such rights.
Duke Wilson glanced at Evan, only to find that Evan sat up thoughtfully, looking at the void in front of him.
Duke Wilson could not tell what Evan was thinking, so he could only whisper: "Pastor Bruce, can your body withstand such a thing?"
Evan raised his head as if he had just reacted suddenly, a thought flashed in his expression, but finally turned firm, nodded and said: "Of course, thank you very much your concern."
Duke Wilson had expected his answer, so he could only nod helplessly: "That's good, but if you can't support it, you can definitely call me." After saying this After seeing Evan agree, he turned and left the room.
After Duke Wilson went out, Mrs. Johnson walked to Evan's bed. Her appearance was so gentle, so gentle that people sometimes ignored her appearance.
Evan belongs to this type of person. Although he had contact with Mrs. Johnson before, he had less time after all, and he was also a long-distance greeting, so this time, he was the first It was the first time I could see this woman clearly.
"Mr. Pastor." Mrs. Johnson gracefully removed her gloves and sat on the stool beside Evan's bed.
"What do you think about my husband's death?"
Evan's heart moved, she was talking about death, not suicide.
"This is really a tragedy." Evan still made a sympathetic look: "Please mourn."
Mrs. Johnson's face did not show any sadness, she still stared at Evan calmly, with a look of almost cold determination in her eyes.
"You are a pastor." Mrs. Johnson said lightly: "I heard from Sheriff Chandler about your allegations against my husband, and he made this Bad behavior, I'm not at all surprised."
Evan looked at Mrs. Johnson with some surprise, and even exposed her own family shame in front of him. This is completely unlike the practice of people of this era.
Evan wisely chose not to speak.
Mrs. Johnson did not stop there, and continued: "I know better than anyone what my husband is like, greedy and vain, lustful, pretentious, and more like being clever, he is me The most depraved gentleman I've ever met." Mrs. Johnson paused slightly at this point: "No, I don't even know now if I can call him a gentleman."
Evan bowed his head a little embarrassedly, a woman said bad things about her husband in front of you, no matter what the situation, it will make people feel at a loss.
Seeing Evan like this, Mrs. Johnson couldn't help but smile: "Do you think I'm crazy?"
Evan coughed dryly and pulled out a forced smile.
Mrs. Johnson didn't force Evan to say anything, but continued on her own: "Maybe, many people think I'm crazy." After she finished speaking, she laughed as if mocking herself .
"My husband has so many flaws." Mrs. Johnson's expression suddenly became serious: "But I can also tell you that he is as despicable and selfish as he is. People who don't commit suicide easily."
Her words were serious and serious, with almost no expression, but Evan was stunned.
He had never heard such a malicious testimony.
He looked at Mrs. Johnson, with a little doubt in his expression: "Since you have such a speculation, why don't you tell Sheriff Chandler?"
Mrs. Johnson's mouth overflowed with a wry smile: "You know better than me what Sheriff Chandler is. If I say this to him, he will think I am crazy."
Evan looked at Mrs. Johnson and thought that I think you are not too ill.
"Madam, this matter is not something I can decide. Even if you have such doubts, I can't do anything for you."
Evan doesn't want to be involved at this time, especially if this is about the church, I'm afraid that the church's visitors are just a few days ago, he can't be caught in this kind of thing at this time go.
After listening to Evan's words, Mrs. Johnson was obviously a little disappointed, but in the end she quickly adjusted her emotions and smiled reluctantly.
"You are a kind person. I know I am sorry for the church for what my husband has done. Don't worry, I will try to compensate the church."
Mrs. Johnson looked a little unreasonable from a rational point of view, and began to win over Evan from this aspect.
Evan looked at Mrs Johnson and sneered in his heart.
"This matter will naturally be handled by the church and the police. Your sensibleness really gives me a sigh of relief."
Evan is not Pastor Ross who can be flattened and rounded by others. Originally, it was the money of the church. How could Mrs. Johnson take it out as a favor.
Mrs. Johnson was speechless by Evan, and looked a little embarrassed.
"What you said is." She lowered her head and touched her gloves, her tone slightly pitiful: "I am also very ashamed of my husband doing these things, but now he is dead, I just want a result, he will not commit suicide, he will never commit suicide!"
Mrs. Johnson said that she had a hint of tears at the end, she looked straight at Evan, completely lost her previous indifference.
Evan looked at Mrs. Johnson with some surprise, he thought that this lady had absolutely no feelings for the wicked husband she said, but now looking at her sad face, Evan Wen suddenly found out that women are the most difficult species in the world to understand.
"What do you want?" Evan's tone was almost helpless.
Mrs. Johnson's eyes lit up when she heard him ask, and she immediately said: "Pastor Bruce, you are a kind person, my husband died innocently, I can do nothing, but you and Chandler The sheriff has a close relationship, can you please pay more attention to this matter, I just want a result."
Mrs. Johnson's plea made Evan frown. He had not contacted this Mrs. Johnson before. Now it seems that this woman is even more difficult than her husband.
First of all, I wanted to hang Evan with Johnson's abnormal death. Seeing that it was impossible, I resorted to the underdog policy. I really didn't miss any opportunity.
"Madam, Mr. Johnson's death, Sheriff Chandler has already concluded, there is no specific basis for your speculation, I can't rely on this to put forward to Sheriff Chandler Any request, ma'am, I'm really sorry."
Evan really didn't want to pay attention to this scheming woman. Even if Johnson died strangely, he didn't want to show weakness in front of this woman easily.
Mrs. Johnson looked at Evan and suddenly realized that the pastor was not as innocent and kind as she thought. Mrs. Johnson's heart suddenly hung up, and she suddenly realized that her strategy must not be will succeed.
"Pastor Bruce." Mrs. Johnson's expression finally softened: "I understand what you said, I'm sorry, I just hope my husband's death can be reasonably explained."
Seeing that she finally stopped pretending, Evan sneered in his heart, but there was no expression on his face, just whispered: "Don't worry, Sheriff Chandler is a good Police, he will not let people die in vain, this matter still needs a hearing, you can rest assured."
Mrs. Johnson's expression changed slightly, she pursed her lips and smiled: "Thank you for your reminder, you are really an honest person."
Evan knew that Mrs. Johnson's words were not sincere, but he just nodded with a smile. In fact, he also had doubts about this matter, but he followed Mrs. Johnson's thoughts. He didn't want it either.
Mrs. Johnson is also a smart person. Seeing that Evan's mood is not high and her purpose cannot be achieved, she immediately bid farewell.
"You are still injured, I will not disturb you, please rest well, I will take my leave."
Mrs. Johnson said it very politely, and Evan naturally wouldn't be too rude. He smiled gently and said, "Thank you for visiting, and I'm sorry for what happened to you."
Mrs. Johnson stood up, nodded slightly, turned and left the room.
Mrs. Johnson left the room on the front foot, and Duke Wilson walked in on the back foot.
"What did she say?" Duke Wilson walked to Evan's side and helped Evan to lie on the bed. This position was also the most comfortable for Evan.
Evan enjoyed the Duke's service, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, Duke Wilson, if he wants to be nice to someone, he should be more careful than anyone else.
"Mrs. Johnson believes that Mr. Johnson did not commit suicide." Evan lay on the bed, the duck down blanket, very comfortable.
Duke Wilson's expression became serious. He sat beside Evan, looked down at Evan with a soothing expression, and asked in a low voice, "What did she say?"
When Evan heard the question, he raised his head to look at Duke Wilson, hooked the corner of his mouth and said: "She said, Mr. Johnson is the most selfish and shameless she has ever seen in this world. A person will never commit suicide.”
Duke Wilson's eyes were a little surprised: "Is she crazy?"
Evan lowered his head, buried his face in the quilt, and whispered: "She doesn't look crazy, in fact, in my opinion, what she said makes sense. , if Mr Johnson wanted to kill himself, how could he lie to you in the first place?"
Duke Wilson looked at the back of Evan's head, the soft blond hair made his heart a little ticklish, so that his concentration was a little bit distracted, and he didn't hear Evan's question clearly.
Evan didn't hear back for a long time, he was a little puzzled, turned his head to look at Evan, and then he fell into a deep scorpion, which contained deep obsession and paranoia, Suddenly, Evan was stunned.
