Chapter 101: investigation case
"Arrest?" Duke Wilson raised his tone: "What kind of evidence does he have? Why did he suddenly arrest Colonel Mel?" Duke Wilson frowned and looked at Steward Chris.
Butler Chris grinned a little embarrassedly, and whispered: "This... I don't know, but Sheriff Chandler looks very determined, and I..."
Duke Wilson frowned and waved: "Let him in."
Chandler was arrested in his house, I really don't know if he was too sure or looked down on himself.
After a moment, Sheriff Chandler followed Butler Chris and walked in. He looked very cautious, but when he looked at Colonel Mel, his eyes were very sharp.
"Sir Duke." He nodded slightly: "I'm bothering you."
Duke Wilson looked at him coldly: "I heard you came to arrest Mel, what did he do wrong?"
"I think you heard about the murder in town from Colonel Mel?" Sheriff Chandler was not intimidated by Duke Wilson's serious expression, but He said very rationally: "I have always doubted Colonel Mel's innocence before, and just now, I found out that the relationship between Colonel Mel and Mother Eliza is not as simple as he stated, so I would like to invite Colonel Mayer went to the police station to talk about it."
Sheriff Chandler's statement was well-founded. Duke Wilson didn't know how to refute it for a while. He looked at Colonel Mel's words with hatred, and his emotions were very complicated.
"If that's the case, then you can follow Sheriff Chandler." Facing Colonel Mel who looked terrified, Duke Wilson said coldly: "If you are innocent Yes, I also very much hope that you can clear your suspicions as soon as possible." When he said these words, his expression was meaningful.
Colonel Mel nodded stiffly, panic in his heart.
Sheriff Chandler did not expect Duke Wilson to speak so easily, and his expression flashed with surprise.
"Thank you very much for your accommodation." Sheriff Chandler nodded at the Duke and said warmly.
Duke Wilson waved his hand impatiently, but did not say much.
Sergeant Chandler took Colonel Mel to leave, but Duke Wilson's face suddenly sank. Becoming a suspect in a murder case, no matter what the final truth is, for the current Duke Wilson, it will make him look very ugly, not to mention in the small village of Derain, if Duke Wilson does not If you guessed wrong, the whole village will know if it doesn't happen tonight. Thinking of this, Duke Wilson's face becomes more and more ugly.
Duke Wilson's predictions were not wrong at all, and Evan heard about it later in the day, when he was doing his last prayers at the altar, Sanders The lady just came in from outside, with a forbearing excitement on her face.
"What's wrong with you?" Evan asked with some doubts.
Mrs. Sanders' lips trembled slightly before she said, "Colonel Mel has been arrested."
This sentence without beginning or end may not be understood by others, but Evan suddenly understood what she meant, frowned and said, "So soon?"
Seeing that Evan suddenly understood a little bit of herself, Mrs. Sanders was a little surprised: "Do you already know about this?"
Evan nodded: "Butler Chris said it when we were at the station." He couldn't wait for Mrs. Sanders to say anything else and immediately asked eagerly: "What happened? Why did you suddenly arrest Colonel Mel?"
Mrs. Sanders couldn't help sighing: "You have heard of such a terrible thing, this is really a shameful thing for the church, even if it is a Catholic Church thing ..." Mrs. Sanders still couldn't help sighing, and then continued: "I heard Simon, who works at the police station, say that a little nun went to the police station today and reported Eli to Sheriff Chandler. The unusual relationship between Sister Sha and Colonel Mayer led to Colonel Mayer's arrest of Colonel Mayer."
Evan couldn't help frowning, not expecting that the friend in Colonel Mel's story was really himself.
"What did Lord Wilson say?" The relationship between Colonel Mel and Duke Wilson is well known. If such a thing happened to Colonel Mel, Duke Wilson could not be unresponsive.
"Oh, this is really dramatic." Mrs. Sanders finally showed an expression on her indifferent face, and said a little excitedly: "Colonel Mel is in Cornwall. The manor was arrested in front of Duke Wilson, this is really bold, I can't imagine Duke Wilson's expression now, a noble gentleman like him, this kind of thing is really..." Mrs. Sanders was very sympathetic of emotion.
Evan couldn't help frowning, Sheriff Chandler was so ruthless, even in front of him...
"I see." Evan said calmly, "Please prepare a carriage for me, I'm going to Cornwall Manor."
Mrs. Sanders was stunned for a moment, then nodded with some understanding: "Oh, you are a friend of Lord Wilson, at this time, I think Lord Duke should be in great need of a friend's company. "
Mrs. Sanders hurried out to prepare the carriage, while Evan returned to his living room and changed his priest's robe, but his face was still ugly, he knew very well the character of Duke Wilson , he is a person with very strong self-esteem. When such a thing happens, I am afraid that he will be more anxious than Colonel Mel himself, and now, the most taboo thing is to be anxious. He is afraid that Duke Wilson will make things worse. Hard to keep up.
When Evan came out, the carriage was ready, Mrs. Sanders was waiting for him at the door, Evan didn't say much, just got on the carriage in silence, heading towards Cornwall Manor ran away.
When he reached the door, he patted the door hard. In the past, it was daytime when he came, and the door was not closed.
After a long time, a voice finally came from inside: "Who is it?" It sounded very immature, with a slight tremor.
Evan said solemnly: "I am Pastor Bruce, please report to the Duke, I have something to discuss with him."
Hearing Evan's voice, the people inside were obviously relieved: "It's you, please wait a moment, I will report to the Duke immediately."
Because Evan often goes in and out of the manor, the whole manor is very familiar with him, and they all know that the relationship between him and the duke is very close, so Evan did not wait long, The door opened.
"Mr. Pastor." The person who didn't expect to come was Chris Butler, and Evan's face flashed a hint of surprise.
"It's great that you can come." Butler Chris had a sincere smile on his face: "The Duke is in the study at this time, no one is allowed to disturb, and there is no supper yet. , maybe only you can persuade him."
Evan's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this, but his brows were furrowed. The Duke was so angry that it seemed that he was really dissatisfied with this matter.
"I see, thank you." Evan pursed his lips and looked very serious.
Butler Chris led Evan through most of the manor and into the castle. Only half of the lights in the hall were lit, so it looked a little dim, and Evan was on the dim light After walking upstairs, he stopped at the door of the Duke's study.
Butler Chris gave Evan an embarrassed look and whispered: "Please persuade the Duke well, he doesn't listen to us now."
Evan nodded, and Butler Chris also left very acquainted.
When Butler Chris disappeared at the corner of the stairs, Evan whispered, "Charles, it's me."
Just this sentence, there was a sudden noise in the originally silent room, and then the closed door in front of Evan suddenly opened.
"Are you here?" Duke Wilson looked a little tired, but his eyes gleamed when he looked at Evan.
"I heard about Colonel Mel, so I came here." Evan said with a smile.
Listening to Evan talking about this, Duke Wilson's originally excited eyes immediately dimmed, and he waved his hand impatiently: "I really didn't expect that Mel would be such a stupid thing, Really..." Duke Wilson's hands trembled with anger as long as he thought that he would be the talk of the whole Derainier.
Evan didn't want to see him like this, so he walked in with a smile, closed the door, and then stretched out his hand to hug him into his arms.
Such a simple action made Duke Wilson's body instantly stiff. He seemed to be frightened. Sitting on Evan's waist, he whispered, "It's really nice that you are here."
Evan patted him on the back with a smile, and whispered: "Don't think too much, although Colonel Mel is inseparable from you, the people in the town will not Don't dare to slander your reputation, this matter will pass, don't worry."
Duke Wilson couldn't help sighing when he heard this, Evan was still too simple, didn't know the power of rumors, let alone the role Colonel Mel played by his side, Germany Lanlier's rumors need not be said. Although he also cares, he doesn't care too much. The most important thing is what Colonel Mel has done for him. Starting from his father, Colonel Mel and Chris The relationship between the Te family is very close, but it is not out of thin air that he can accumulate so much wealth in a short period of time.
Duke Wilson's face leaning on Evan's shoulder flashed a wicked look, the reason why Colonel Mel was able to make a fortune so quickly is because he did a lot of private work for his father and for him Whether it's spying on intelligence or dealing with traitors, Colonel Mel seems to have a unique talent for this kind of thing. He has grown from a soldier to the present because of Duke Wilson's father's discernment.
What happened this time really posed a problem for him. Now that he doesn't know anything, he must try his best to save Colonel Mel's life, otherwise the key will pull out these things, I'm afraid his face will be damaged. It's uglier than it is now, and London over there...
Duke Wilson's expression was obscure, but when he raised his head to look at Evan, his eyes returned to a gentle look, and whispered: "I know, with you here, this The matter will definitely be investigated." He hated using Evan very much, but at this moment he had to do it, because he couldn't let Evan know that he was another appearance.
Duke Wilson's expression was firm and calm.
