Chapter 67: things turn around
What Duke Wilson said, Evan knew very well that if there were no other circumstances, he could not easily refuse. Duke Wilson, who was very nervous, smiled lightly: "Then I'll trouble you."
Duke Wilson was secretly relieved: "You are too polite, for our friendship, this matter is nothing."
Evan returned to Cornwall Manor with Duke Wilson. Butler Chris had already prepared dinner, Evan looked at it, it was for two.
Evan glanced at Butler Chris, and he was indeed the confidant of Duke Wilson. I am afraid that the person who knows the Duke best in the world is this unremarkable butler.
The dinner was very rich, and even a few fish caught by the Duke were boiled into a delicious fish soup.
Evan sat opposite Duke Wilson, chatting and laughing with Pastor Robert beside him. Although Duke Wilson has been silent, he will look at Evan from time to time, and the mood in his eyes is slightly gloomy.
After dinner, the confused Pastor Robert was helped upstairs to rest, while Evan and Duke Wilson were sitting in the living room, talking about the past few days.
Duke Wilson was very dissatisfied with the events of the past few days, and spoke with a bit of sarcasm.
"After this incident, it is time for this venerable Mr. Ferd to rest for a few days."
Evan pursed his lips and smiled: "Folder is a smart man. Although he did such a thing this time, he should not take action again."
Evan's affirmation of Ferd made Duke Wilson a little dissatisfied, but he couldn't say anything more, and in the end he could only smile slightly ironically.
After that, there was a very awkward silence between the two, Duke Wilson looked at Evan sitting in the dim light, his light blue eyes, there was a With a strange brilliance, Duke Wilson's lips were suddenly dry for some reason.
Evan has been observing Duke Wilson from the corner of his eye. He noticed that his eyes have been staying on himself, and he couldn't help but smile.
Suddenly, Evan raised his head suddenly, Duke Wilson's eyes had no time to avoid, and the heat in his eyes was completely seen by Evan.
"Duke...sir?" Evan looked at Duke Wilson with some doubts.
Duke Wilson's heart was extremely broken at this time, he almost dared not look at Evan's clear eyes, he avoided Evan's eyes in a panic, and said in a tone that was almost stuttering : "I... I'm a little tired, rest."
Evan looked at Duke Wilson, his handsome profile was slightly red, and his eyes were full of panic, which seemed to be different from the usual calm and self-controlled Duke.
"Okay." Evan replied calmly.
Duke Wilson stood up quickly, turned around and left.
Watching the Duke go to the second floor, Evan stood up. Although this night's stay was destined to be nothing, but for some reason, Evan suddenly felt as if his heart was injected A warm current, with the breath of spring, soothed him a lot.
This night was the most solid night he had slept since he left Cornwall Manor.
The next morning, Duke Wilson did not appear at the dining table, Evan looked thoughtfully at the vacant seat opposite him, his eyes flashed slightly, he is really a shy person Ah, I just don't know if I'm angry or unwilling to face it.
In the end, Butler Chris personally sent Evan back to the church. When they parted, Butler Chris looked at Evan with a hesitant expression, Evan looked calm, as if something I don't know, but in the end, Butler Chris just sighed deeply, turned around in the carriage, and left.
Not long after Evan returned to the church, the church gradually became lively. Yesterday's big play made the whole Delan Lier a sensation, especially the poor Pastor Bruce, who actually received Such grievances made these simple-minded people feel very guilty, so even if today was not a Sunday, these people rushed to the church, apologized deeply to Evan, and asked Evan's forgiveness.
Of course Evan has to forgive these people. No matter how disdainful he is in his heart, he will not put himself on the opposite side of most people, especially now for these people, he is still a A kind and noble person.
"Pastor Bruce!" His tie was torn and he was breathing heavily.
"Pastor Bruce!" He held Evan's hand: "I'm really...really..."
"What's the matter?" Evan asked with a frown, seeing that he couldn't come up with an idea for a long time.
"Oh! This is a disaster." Sheriff Chandler hugged her head in pain and said, "Mrs. Johnson just committed suicide in prison!"
"What?" Evan's eyes widened instantly: "Mrs. Johnson is dead?"
Seeing Evan's reaction so big, Sheriff Chandler quickly waved his hand: "No, no, don't get excited, she didn't succeed, and was rescued by the police later."
"Oh..." Evan breathed a sigh of relief, but his frown was not sent down.
"What's going on?" Evan asked in a low voice.
Sheriff Chandler also looked a little guilty at this time, and whispered: "It's all my fault, I always thought that Mrs. Johnson was definitely the mastermind of this matter, so I gave her The protest was indifferent, but I didn't expect her to act like this for this matter."
"Protest?" Evan frowned, and for some reason, Rael's slightly exaggerated face suddenly appeared in his heart.
"What did Mrs. Johnson protest against?" Evan picked up his previous doubts again at this time, and he had a hunch that this matter would not be so simple.
But this morning, a homeless man broke into the police station and told me that on the day Mr. Johnson died, during the time Mrs. Johnson disappeared, he had seen Mr. Johnson, with a man who could not see The ladies were together and they went back to Mr Johnson's home together."
"Homeless?" Evan was a little puzzled, these witnesses must have appeared too timely.
When Evan said this, the look on Sheriff Chandler's face became even more ashamed: "Oh, it's all my fault, the news of looking for evidence was published before, and on the first occasion when Miss Blair appeared It was withdrawn in two days, and Mrs. Johnson was very dissatisfied, so she found a lawyer, and paid for it herself to publish the notice, which is what attracted this homeless man."
"Is there a money reason?" Evan asked.
"I thought about this before, but unfortunately this homeless man has evidence. At that time, Mr. Johnson, in order to get rid of the homeless entanglement, gave him a large amount of coins, one of which was Mr. Johnson who did not Be careful of the cufflinks that have fallen off, it still has Mr. Johnson's initials engraved on it." Sheriff Chandler said with great annoyance.
Evan raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, it seems that this is true, it's really interesting, I finally found evidence this morning, but Mrs. Johnson committed suicide at this time, this woman's The scheming is really terrible. Speaking of it now, I am afraid that all the public opinion will be on the side of sympathy for her, and Sheriff Chandler, who caused this incident, I am afraid that his reputation is also in danger.
Evan looked at Sheriff Chandler, who didn't realize that the danger was approaching, and thought to himself, the most comfortable life in this world is Sheriff Chandler's unintentional People with lungs, never care, and never count.
"Mr. Sheriff." Evan's expression instantly became solemn, Sheriff Chandler was his friend, he couldn't watch the sheriff really be destroyed: "Now Things have gotten very serious."
Sheriff Chandler looked at Evan with some surprise: "But Mrs. Johnson has been rescued..." He murmured.
Evan gritted his teeth, he really had no self-consciousness: "Although she was rescued, your situation is very difficult."
Sheriff Chandler was a little stunned. He thought about it, but he still couldn't understand: "This matter is my negligence, and I will be responsible for my negligence."
Evan couldn't help sighing: "If this matter develops according to the current state of affairs, I am afraid that you will not be responsible. I am afraid that it is difficult to say whether you can keep your position."
Sheriff Chandler looked at Evan in surprise: "This... how is this possible..."
Evan really sympathizes with himself now. Although Sheriff Chandler is still a little smart in handling cases, he is too far behind in dealing with people.
"Mrs. Sheriff, Mrs. Johnson is not a simple lady, she chose to kill herself today, don't you think why? Now that she has escaped the charge of murder, what do you think will happen to her Against you?" Evan almost said it outright.
Sheriff Chandler's face finally changed at this time: "This...this is really..."
Sheriff Chandler is an old-fashioned gentleman who never imagined that a woman could be so dangerous.
"Okay." Evan sighed: "Mr. Sheriff, if you want to keep your position now, break this case as soon as possible, otherwise there will be any consequences, I can't even imagine it myself."
Speaking of this Sheriff Chandler could not help but feel a little dejected: "Oh, I also want to solve this case as soon as possible, but now the most suspected Mrs. Johnson has been freed from suspicion, Rael That kid has an alibi, even if I want to solve the case, it will be very difficult!"
Evan listened to Sheriff Chandler's complaints, his expression changed, and finally he asked tentatively: "Then have you investigated Mr. Rael again?"
Sheriff Chandler raised his eyebrows: "Of course I have investigated, but that kid Rael is too slick, I can't ask anything useful, but my wife saw you a few days ago. When you get to Miss Blair, you don't know, this Miss Blair has been so beautiful these days, and my wife told me that it looks like Miss Blair is going to leave here and get married."
Speaking of this, Sheriff Chandler couldn't help laughing. Almost everyone in Delan Lier knew that Miss Blair would never get married.
Evan was moved by Sheriff Chandler's words, he almost couldn't help but immediately asked: "Why does your wife say this? Is there any evidence?"
Sheriff Chandler was taken aback by Evan's question, and murmured: "Evidence? I don't know this, but I just heard that Miss Blair is preparing to sell her house in recent days, The whole town knows that Mr. Blair left it to Miss Blair, who has always treasured her property..."
Sheriff Chandler's last words, Evan, didn't listen to a word, but the doubts in his heart were suddenly cleared up, and this matter is so obvious in front of him now.
