Chapter 52: Another way
Duke Wilson has always done things neatly. Since he promised Ferd, he naturally would not break his promise. The next day he went to the justice of the county court, who was the father of Duke Wilson. The best friend of Duke Wilson has grown up since he was a child. Anyway, this matter has to give Duke Wilson a little face.
So this matter was settled very smoothly. Your Excellency quickly gave the green light to the Delan Lille Church, allowing the bank to compensate the church for the money lost by the church.
This solution caught Evan by surprise. The Duke's influence is too great in this era, and Evan felt this for the first time.
Evan did not participate in the specific handover of this matter. It was carried out between Sheriff Chandler and Ferd from beginning to end. After this matter was resolved, Ferd This is the time to come to Cornwall Manor again.
Duke Wilson's impatience this time was beyond words, he looked at Ferd with a cold expression as if he hadn't seen him.
"Lord Duke, please accept my most sincere thanks for your help this time." Ferd said gently as if he didn't see Duke Wilson's expression. .
The expression on Duke Wilson's face remained unchanged, and he said coldly: "You are polite, this matter is also because of Pastor Bruce, he is my best friend, this trivial matter is nothing to worry about."
Folder's smile suddenly froze on his face, he glanced at Evan who was sitting next to him, his eyes were complicated.
"In any case, the bishop will be very grateful for your help to the church this time." In order to save his face, Ford could only take it in a vague way.
Duke Wilson had no intention of stomping the church's face on the ground, nodding casually, and said nothing more.
But Ferd got excited instead, and continued: "By the way, I don't know if you know, this time Mr. Johnson's Sheriff Chandler has his eyes on him."
Evan's expression moved, and Duke Wilson's face also showed a trace of interest: "Oh?" He glanced at Ferd: "I haven't heard of this."
"Sheriff Chandler has just identified a witness that on the day of Mr. Johnson's death, Mrs. Johnson had been seen sneaking out of the women's meeting place and returning to her home." Ed's expression is very intriguing.
Duke Wilson couldn't help frowning, he looked back at Evan, as far as he knew, Evan also took this matter very seriously.
Evan fell into deep thought at this time, and suddenly flashed before his eyes the situation when he first saw Mrs. Hanson, arrogant and cold, not like a new widow at all, But when they met for the second time, she turned into a weak widow again. Such a woman can indeed do murder.
"Then what is Sheriff Chandler going to do?" Duke Wilson saw that Evan was obviously stunned, and asked himself.
Folder also noticed Evan's unusual reaction, couldn't help but hooked his lips and whispered: "I heard that the lady has been summoned to the police station by the sheriff. , As for how to deal with it, I don't know yet."
Duke Wilson frowned in disgust when he heard this. This matter is too complicated and confusing. He arrested two people one after another. I really don't know if it is true this time.
Folder said goodbye with a wink. When he came to Cornwall Manor this time, the main task was to express his gratitude to the duke. The chief justice has already passed the word to the bishop. Because of his poor handling, he actually alarmed the duke and was reprimanded by the bishop. Although Ferd completed the task this time, he was not in a very good mood.
After Ferd left Cornwall Manor, he returned to his hut. For the past few days, he has been living in a hut behind the church, which was originally the residence of the night watchman. But this time, because of his arrival, the Night's Watch was driven out and crowded with the deacon, and he lived in this single hut.
Ford has enjoyed the wealth and wealth of the world since he was a child. For him, this hut is extremely frugal. The hut, which may have never been seen before, can only be swallowed, and it must be greeted with a smile.
Folder was very aggrieved by this situation, but thinking of his brother's previous instructions, he could only endure it, and could not offend the noble earl, his father at this time After all, he has passed away, and all his brother can do for him can only get here, and more importantly, he came to this ghost place this time, not only because of survival, but also because of that person...
Fold gritted his teeth, his expression twisted, that person... the shameless villain who ruined his life!
Folder wanted Evan to be ruined, he wanted him to fail, and he wanted to give him a taste of being in hell.
Folder's fists were clenched tightly, and there was a faint light in his eyes, this day is not far away, and his arrangements for the past few days will soon be realized.
Folder couldn't help laughing. He looked at the complete property transfer document at hand, and his mood finally improved a lot. His mission has been completed, but Evan's disaster has just arrived.
At this moment, Mrs. Sanders' voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Mr. Ferd, Dr. Hester and Miss Arya are here."
Folder frowned slightly, and felt a little uneasy in his heart. As far as he knew, this Doctor Hester and Miss Arya had always been the guests of the duke's residence, but since then After Evan went in and out of Duke Wilson's house, the two were obviously estranged a lot.
"Mr. Hester is here?" Ferd opened the door, looked at the calm and indifferent middle-aged woman in front of him, and whispered: "Are they here to find me? ?"
"Of course." Mrs. Sanders' words were short and cold, as if with a hint of sarcasm, mocking Ferd's meaningless question.
Ford gritted his teeth in his heart but his face was gentle, and said warmly, "Thank you for your information."
Because of the special relationship between these two people and Duke Wilson, he has been in contact with Dr. Hester since he discovered the deep relationship between Evan and Duke Wilson, Hope to find something useful here.
Dr. Hester is a typical country gentleman, honest and steady, and likes to rhetoric, but according to Ferd's observation, although this Doctor Hester has a big mouth, he has some important information He didn't show it, he said all his favorite reasoning, and said nothing about Duke Wilson.
This annoyed Ferd at first, because he suddenly found out that he had been tricked by a douchebag, but since contacting the doctor's daughter, Ferd finally realized that this Among the father and daughter, the best breakthrough was this stubborn Miss Alia.
Ford came to the front hall of the church. Arya and Dr. Hester were praying with their fingers crossed in front of the statue of Jesus. Ford stood patiently and waited, with a gentle expression.
After a long time, Dr. Hester was the first to open his eyes, crossed his chest, said 'Amen', and finally ended his prayer.
"Mr. Ferd!" When he saw Ferd standing aside, he shouted in surprise.
Folder smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and hissed: "Please don't let me affect Miss Arya's prayer." He said weakly.
Alia's closed eyelashes trembled slightly, and she opened her eyes.
"You are such a gentleman." Arya looked at Ferd with admiration.
Folder pursed her lips and smiled: "You have won the prize, you are a devout believer, which is a good thing for the whole church."
Alia smiled a little embarrassedly, in fact, she is not a very pious person, but when she can no longer enter and leave the duke's mansion at will, this is the only place that can make her Calm mood.
"Mr. Verde, have you finished your work this time?" Dr. Hester looked at him tentatively.
Folder's expression turned slightly, and nodded: "God bless, it has been completed."
Dr. Hester's eyes gleamed brightly: "Ah! It's really done! Then do you know what theories Sheriff Chandler has on this case this time?"
Folder couldn't help laughing when he heard this. Since this incident happened in the meeting, Dr. Hester has been making reasoning, but all his reasoning It seems very out of place. So far, nothing has been guessed right, but he is very enthusiastic about this matter, so Ferd pays more attention to this matter.
"My dear doctor, you are a gentleman, I can't tell you about this, I hope you can understand."
Although Ferd said this, Dr. Hester's eyes were already bright and frightening. Ferd's words couldn't be more obvious, and it was definitely done by Mrs. Johnson.
"Oh...Oh, of course." Hester nodded calmly: "This matter is really terrible, I hope it can be resolved as soon as possible."
Dr. Hester tried desperately to hide his excitement, but in the end he was unsuccessful. His clenched fists and excited eyes showed no regret in his tone.
Folder didn't see the change in Dr. Hester's expression, and nodded solemnly: "Yes, I hope so too, Duke Wilson also thinks the same."
When he said the second half of the sentence, Ferd kept aiming at Arya from the corner of his eyes. Seeing her face pale and stiff, a smile appeared at the corner of Ferd's mouth.
"Your Excellency...the Duke?" Alia asked stumblingly, "Have you seen the Duke?"
Folder smiled gently: "Yes, in order to thank the Duke for your generous help this time, I went to the Duke's mansion."
Aliya's eyes flashed with excitement, and she immediately asked, "Is the Duke alright?"
Folder looked at Arya in surprise: "The Duke is naturally very good, but Pastor Bruce still looks a little pale."
"Pastor Bruce..." Arya bit her lip: "He... does he still live in the ducal residence?"
Folder was about to answer, but Dr. Hester suddenly interjected: "Mr. Reverend is seriously injured and has not recovered. Of course he lives in the Duke's Palace."
Unusually, Dr. Hester looked at Arya with an almost stern look.
