Chapter 37: church visitor
"You...you..." Duke Wilson was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say.
Evan looked at his embarrassed and excited eyes, his eyes soft like a lake, and whispered: "I told you before that love is the most wonderful thing in this world , none of us can predict where he comes from and where he will go, I never underestimate the power of love, and I will not easily judge the right or wrong of love."
Evan said the most high-sounding words, which may be the most basic cognition of people in his era, but for the duke in such an era, it was not a thunderbolt that made him Some were stunned.
He doesn't mind such feelings.
This is unbelievable for Duke Wilson.
He looked straight at Evan, and was speechless for a while.
Evan looked at Duke Wilson's dazed look, and couldn't help but smile in his heart, but he had a puzzled look on his face: "Lord Duke? What's wrong with you?"
Duke Wilson suddenly reacted, and his expression was a little embarrassed for a while. He turned his face and glanced out of the window, his eyes wandering and said: "No... It's okay."
Evan looked at him like this, and his heart was even more happy. Although the duke looked indifferent, this awkward character was quite interesting.
"That's good, but I don't know what this has to do with Rael?" Evan immediately brought the topic to business.
Duke Wilson was a little unresponsive at first, but after a few minutes, he understood what Evan meant, and his expression became a little contemptuous.
"You don't know yet, the reason why Johnson dares to embezzle so much property is for this Rael, Rael is a vain and willful young man, Mr. Johnson is in order to hang A young lover will naturally have to spend more money, he is just a lawyer and earns only four or five hundred pounds a year, how can he satisfy someone like Rael with a higher heart than the sky?"
Evan looked at Duke Wilson in surprise: "Mr. Johnson is so confused?"
Duke Wilson hooked his lips with some disdain: "Johnson looked shrewd, but he was dazzled by beauty. That kid Rael was just a high-level social girl, but he regarded him as a baby. No wonder he was abandoned. I heard that he wanted to run away with Rael with my check, but never thought that Rael did not want to be entangled with someone like him who had no money and no status, so even if he rejected him, it finally led to Johnson's death."
Duke Wilson made it clear, but Evan couldn't help frowning: "So what is the cause of Mr. Johnson's death?"
Duke Wilson couldn't help sneering when he heard this, but he still brought the tea bowl beside the bed to Evan first, watched him take a sip, and then said: "The money Sheriff Dehler pays great attention to this matter. As you know, Sheriff Chandler is a very upright person. When such a thing happens, he is also very contemptuous. In addition, Mr. Johnson is in a relationship with Rael. Mr. died after the argument, so Sheriff Chandler turned his attention to Rael."
Evan listened to Duke Wilson's words and couldn't help laughing bitterly, this is really what Sheriff Chandler can do.
"Does Mr. Sheriff have any evidence?" Evan asked tentatively.
Duke Wilson wrinkled his nose and looked a little unsightly: "At that time, Mr. Johnson had an argument with Rael, and he may have said some extreme words, which were seen by eyewitnesses..."
Duke Wilson didn't say anything later, but Evan could think of the follow-up. Although Sheriff Chandler is very upright, but because he is too upright, sometimes there is a little pedantic.
"Has Sheriff Chandler detained that Mr. Rael?" Evan asked unintentionally.
Duke Wilson didn't care, and replied casually: "Of course, Sheriff Chandler arrested him immediately, and now I'm afraid the interrogation has already begun."
Evan pursed his lips, he had expected this result.
Duke Wilson gave Evan a sneak peek at this time. He sat beside the bed, the autumn sun shining on his face, making him more gentle and holy, he looked at Evan Wen lowered his eyes, his slender eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyelashes, and Duke Wilson suddenly felt a little turbulent for some reason.
At this moment, Evan suddenly raised his head, Duke Wilson was startled, he turned his head quickly, and did not dare to look at him again.
Evan was also stunned by Duke Wilson's actions. He glanced at the unnatural Duke. Although he had some guesses in his heart, he didn't ask any more questions. Secretly delighted, he whispered: "That's good, I hope Mr. Sheriff can find out about this matter."
Duke Wilson smiled stiffly, and followed up with a few words, but he was still a little unnatural, and the atmosphere between the two was slightly awkward.
In the end, Duke Wilson couldn't sit still, so he said goodbye. Watching Duke Wilson walk away, Evan's heart was 80% settled at once, so he rushed to Duke Wilson's feelings for the past few days. The performance, his plan has been realized 80%.
Evan lowered his eyebrows, looked at Rael's extremely beautiful face in the newspaper, and sneered, he really did not see this person wrong, he really is a fool, with this IQ, I'm afraid Even Mrs. Johnson can't play it, and she dares to learn from others to calculate family wealth. It's really too long for her life.
Evan's life became very peaceful after that. Sheriff Chandler was stumped by the Johnson case and couldn't make time to pay attention to Evan, and Mrs. Sanders even more I was so annoyed by the church thing that I wanted to change eight hands. That honest assistant priest obviously couldn't adapt to a cathedral like Derain Lier. Many things were handled by Mrs. Sanders.
Because of the busy relationship between the two people who have the best relationship with Evan, Evan's days at Cornwall Manor have been clean, and he usually just reads books and chats with the Duke, Then pay attention to the progress of the case processing, and other Evans basically don't even need to ask.
But it was such a life, but it was broken by one person.
On the afternoon when Evan could get out of bed and walk around, the people sent by the church finally came.
He was brought directly to Cornwall Manor by Mrs Sanders, at that time Evan was drinking afternoon tea in the garden, and Duke Wilson was sitting opposite Evan, talking to him with a smile , At this moment, the man, led by Mrs. Sanders and a footman, walked towards Evan and Duke Wilson along the rose bushes.
Evan squinted at the man who came, the man was very tall, almost a foot taller than Mrs. Sanders, he looked only about thirty years old, and his appearance was very ordinary, But the temperament between his eyebrows is very refined, and he looks like a normal gentleman indeed.
But when Evan looked at this man, his heart suddenly fell.
When he took over this body before, he also accepted the memory of this body. If Evan remembers correctly, Evan knows this man.
As expected, after the visitor came forward, he first saluted Duke Wilson, then turned to look at Evan, smiling very gently: "Bruce, this is the first time I heard When I got the name, I guessed it was you, but I didn't expect it to be true."
Evan looked at this man and couldn't help laughing. If he remembered correctly, there was absolutely no good relationship between this man and the original owner.
"Senior Verde, it's been a long time since I saw you, you are still the same as before."
What Evan said was polite and restrained, and there was hardly any excess emotion overflowing, but even so, Duke Wilson, who was sitting on the side, suddenly seemed to be touched by something. The string suddenly stretched.
He straightened his back and looked at Ferd, who had a gentle expression, with a little bit of doubt in his eyes.
Folder still looked at Evan with a smile, and said in a low voice, "Junior Bruce, you are very different from before."
Evan's heart sank, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Really, after all, it has been so long."
Folder looked at Evan with a deep meaning in his eyes: "Yeah, it's been too long."
"How long?" Duke Wilson was not willing to be excluded from between the two, and immediately asked.
Ford was a little stunned by the Duke's question for a while, and turned to look at Duke Wilson who was sitting on the side with a wary expression, he raised his eyebrows, as if he knew something, Ironically, he curled his lips and whispered, "It's probably been eight years, Lord Duke." After that, he glanced at Evan again: "What do you think? Junior Brother Bruce?"
Evan tried his best to maintain his expression and nodded slightly: "It seems so, your memory is very good."
Just now he quickly sorted out his memory, this Verde indeed played a large part in the original owner's life. When Evan was still in public school, he met this man. A senior, Ferd is the youngest son of the Earl's family. He has an excellent family background and is very influential in the school, and Evan is just the son of a squire, how can he compare to Ferd.
So he used his little cleverness to get involved with the nobleman, but he didn't expect that this man had some kind of unspeakable affection for Evan, the original owner was a straight A straight, straight man is naturally impossible to respond to such feelings. On the contrary, he was frightened, and immediately fled the senior, and trampled his feelings severely, said a lot of terrible things, and spread the matter. Going out, Evan doesn't know what happened next, but if he wants to know, the result will definitely not be very good.
Duke Wilson couldn't stand the look on Evan's face, he always felt that something he couldn't grasp began to spread in Evan's body, and he hated this feeling very much .
"Mr. Ferd, are you sent by the church to handle the church's accounting?" Duke Wilson ignored the undercurrents between the two and immediately opened up the topic simply and rudely .
Folder glanced at Duke Wilson, smiled meaningfully, and whispered: "Yes, this is the purpose of my visit, but I heard Mrs. Sanders say, Has the culprit been identified?"
The person he asked was Evan, but Duke Wilson did not give Evan any chance to speak, and immediately said: "It is indeed found, but he is also dead."
Ford was stunned for a moment, Mrs. Sanders didn't have time to tell him about it.
