Chapter 115: In trouble
"Of course you won't do it yourself." Colonel Mel's smile contained a sly smile: "How could a noble gentleman like you let such a thing get your hands dirty. "
While saying this, he took out a piece of paper from the prison uniform and handed it to Sheriff Chandler beside him.
"Mr. Sheriff, please take a look at this letter. It was given to me by my lawyer last night. It was left on purpose by Ederson before he died. I'm new here. The lawyer accepted these things. Although I had such guesses before, I couldn’t believe it, but after reading this letter, I had to believe it.” Mel’s face showed a hint of coldness, and the previous one There seems to be a world of difference between gentle gentlemen.
Evan bit his lower lip lightly, his face still looked like he didn't care, but he couldn't help but feel a little worried, he always knew that Mel was a smart man , Since he dared to involve himself in this matter this time, he must be fully prepared. Evan's mind was completely affected by the thin letter at this time.
Sheriff Chandler took the letter from Mel, and he couldn't help but glance at Evan with a serious look in his eyes.
Evan clenched his fists, but tried his best to show a calm look on his face, but when he was the most nervous, there was a warm palm covering the back of his hand, Evan My heart tightened, and I looked back, but suddenly hit Duke Wilson's gentle eyes. The trust and support in those eyes made Evan feel a little guilty, and he hung down in a panic. He closed his eyes, not daring to look into his eyes again.
Sheriff Chandler frowned at first glance, and by the end, his brows were already puckered.
He gave Evan a meaningful glance.
The meaning in that glance made Evan's heart hang.
Sheriff Chandler slowly stood up from the chair, he walked to Evan, looked straight into Evan's eyes, and said solemnly: "Pastor Bruce, you Can you explain this?" He unfolded the letter in front of Evan.
Evan couldn't wait to look at the contents of the letter, but when he saw the first line of words, his face changed.
Adelson admits to killing Eliza himself.
Evan hurriedly looked at the text again, and his face became more and more ugly.
When I was reading the last word, Evan finally raised his head, he looked at Mel behind Sheriff Chandler with burning eyes, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
Although Ederson admitted that he killed Elisa, but he was coerced by Evan to do it, his child needs a lot of money for treatment, he can't afford it So much money, and Evan knew about it and offered to provide him with the money, and his condition was to let him kill Eliza and put the blame on Mel.
Such absurdity yet so convincing, Evan stood there, feeling a little dizzy.
"Sheriff Chandler." Evan gritted his teeth, looked straight at Sheriff Chandler's slightly weird gaze, and whispered: "You wouldn't believe such a nonsense remarks?"
"Personally, of course I don't believe it, I have 100% trust in your character." Sheriff Chandler replied neatly: "But..." He hesitated slightly: "But in any case, I am a sheriff, and I would like to ask you to explain the problems described in this letter."
Evan actually understands Sheriff Chandler's entanglement. This kind of thing, no matter who it is, is not easy to deal with.
"I understand your difficulty, but with regard to this letter, I can say with absolute certainty that every word it says is a lie, and I have not been involved in any murder-related I didn't instruct Mr. Edson to do anything, and I didn't use Mr. Edson's son to coerce him. God testifies, I didn't even know he had a son!" Evan looked finally at this time. Some were agitated, and no one would take the murder charge lightly.
Sheriff Chandler was the first time she saw Evan so excited, he hurriedly stepped forward and waved his hand to comfort: "Please don't be so excited, this is just a letter, maybe someone It is not necessarily true that it is faked to frame you."
When talking about this, Mel couldn't help but let out a cold voice: "Sergeant Chandler, your attitude towards the suspect is really different, since you suspect that this letter has Question, then you can go to the hospital where Edson's son lives to check to see if there is such a thing, and I don't want anyone to be wronged in this matter."
Hearing Mel's confident voice, Evan couldn't help but grit his teeth, I'm afraid that Mel had already made all preparations, even if Sheriff Chandler went to investigate, it would be impossible to investigate to what.
"Oh, you're right." Sheriff Chandler's eyes suddenly lit up: "Maybe this is the only way to clear your suspicions." He looked slightly excited. Evan.
Evan smiled reluctantly, not holding any hope for the results of this survey.
"Wait a minute." Duke Wilson suddenly spoke at this time, and he walked behind Evan, supporting Evan as if he were the strongest backing.
He glanced at Mel coldly, without the slightest emotion in his eyes, he might not have realized that Mel was actually such a bold person.
, How could such a small thing make someone steal the day under his nose? How could this not make him angry.
Only then can I know, just sitting here and talking, I’m afraid I won’t be able to convince the public.”
Duke Wilson's eyes became more and more gloomy, his hands were clenched tightly, his joints were almost white, he stared at Mel, he had a long time in his heart for this person Countless evil thoughts, but this time, this scene, does not allow him to put his thoughts into practice.
Duke Wilson suppressed the anger in his heart, he turned his head, glanced at Sheriff Chandler with a blank face, and said word by word: "Then please investigate Mr. Sheriff carefully. , and Edson's letter, please also ask Mr. Sheriff to check the handwriting carefully, so as not to be taken advantage of."
Although Duke Wilson could see at a glance that the letter was indeed Ederson's handwriting, and although the letter still had Ederson's seal and signature on it, Duke Wilson did not believe it. Desen would do something so stupid.
Duke Wilson took Evan's hand mercilessly and left, he ignored the attempt to keep Sheriff Chandler, and walked out directly, a joke, Evan was so much in front of It's nothing more than humiliation. If he was brought into the police station by Sheriff Chandler, he would never forgive himself in his life.
Evan was pulled by Duke Wilson, and he almost stumbled out. When he reached the door, Duke Wilson slowed down, and Evan was relieved.
"Don't be angry." Although Evan was also very upset, he still warmly comforted Duke Wilson, who was obviously in a violent mood.
"How can I not be angry!" Duke Wilson turned to look at Evan, with a faint trace of blood in his eyes: "He...he dares to do this to you, I will never let him go !"
It was the first time I saw such a bloodthirsty Duke Evan, he couldn't help but frowned, and finally whispered: "You...don't do this, Colonel Mel It's just telling what he knows, I haven't done it, you... don't worry too much. "
Looking at Evan's simple thoughts, Duke Wilson didn't know whether it was joy or sorrow, he couldn't help but soften his expression and said warmly: "I know you haven't done it, I believe in you, Don't worry, I won't let you down."
Duke Wilson's sudden expression change, Evan couldn't help but be puzzled, but he finally smiled: "I know, I believe you."
Duke Wilson left with Evan, but this time Duke Wilson didn't say anything to let Evan go to church, and took him directly to Cornwall Manor, he was afraid of Chandler Taking Evan back to the police station regardless, this is definitely the last thing he wants to see.
Evan didn't refute either, and honestly followed Duke Wilson back to Cornwall Manor. Although he wanted to pretend to be a white lotus flower, he had no idea of going to prison.
Edward was the happiest at the end of this decision. When he saw Evan coming, he was so happy that he dragged Evan to his room, but this time Duke Wilson did not tolerate Edward Willful, he scolded him directly, and then directly dragged Evan towards the study upstairs.
Evan looked at the backs of Evan and Duke Wilson with some grievances, a little unhappy in his heart, but there was no reluctance in his eyes, he was very clear, only Evan and Duke Wilson thoroughly Being together, he can be with Evan forever. As long as he thinks of this, Edward can't help himself with excitement.
He imagined such a scene, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he waved at the footman behind him, and went straight back to his room.
**
Evan's life was very peaceful for the next two days. Although there were still worries brought about by the letter, perhaps because of Duke Wilson, Evan did not feel any sense of oppression. and uneasy.
On the contrary, Duke Wilson has been very busy these days. Evan watched countless people come in and out of his study, Duke Wilson was almost busy talking to him He didn't even have a kung fu, but Evan got the greatest reassurance from his calmer look every day.
It's just that these days finally came to an end on the third day.
Evan and Duke Wilson had afternoon tea in the garden that day, little Edward was lying on Evan's knee, listening to Evan telling him the stories in the Bible, all of which were repeated It has been done countless times, but at this time, little Edward is still very interested, as if it is the most attractive thing in the world.
And it was such a warm scene that was suddenly broken.
Butler Chris walked in with a slightly nervous look. He walked to Duke Wilson, bent down and said in a low voice, "Lord Duke, Sheriff Chandler is here."
The look in Duke Wilson's eyes flickered slightly, he nodded, he looked back at Evan, Duke Wilson at this time seemed to be completely different from the furious Duke Wilson three days ago, he Lightly nodded to Evan and whispered, "Let's go back."
Of course Evan heard what the housekeeper Chris said just now, so his mood was not so good at this time, he nodded stiffly, and picked up the Edward, following in the footsteps of Duke Wilson, walked towards the castle.
