Chapter 117: the truth
The room fell into a strange silence. No one spoke or made any movement. They seemed to be shocked by Duke Wilson's words. spoken words.
Colonel Mel's face was very ugly. He looked at Duke Wilson with a pale face, and his eyes were full of bleak and panic.
Sheriff Chandler took the lead to regain his senses and broke the silence.
"My Lord... Duke, I think, I need to chat with these witnesses and obtain testimony." His tone was weak and weak, as if a little guilty.
Duke Wilson nodded: "You will get all the help you want, but now Pastor Bruce..." He stopped talking and looked at Sheriff Chandler meaningfully.
Sheriff Chandler kept sweating on his forehead, he twitched the corners of his mouth stiffly, revealing an extremely ugly smile: "Mr. Pastor's behavior has been clarified, of course there is no need Go to the police station again, please rest assured, we will keep Colonel Mel well, and in three days, you will hear the news of the prosecution."
The place.
Duke Wilson nodded with satisfaction, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, looked at Colonel Mel, who had been keeping his head down in silence, and couldn't help sneering: "What's the matter? Colonel Mel? You Wasn't it very active before? Why don't you say a word now? Don't you want to admit that you killed Eliza now?"
Duke Wilson's words made Colonel Mel's body tremble slightly. He raised his head and looked at Duke Wilson in a trance.
"Your Majesty, this time you won."
He said these words very calmly, as if what he was about to face was not a death sentence, but a warm home.
"I killed Eliza, she was a lovely girl, but unfortunately she was so stupid that she wanted to marry me on a whim, which really embarrassed me, so I killed her."
The current Colonel Mel is not the same person as the former Colonel Mel who was very affectionate. The calmness is really scary.
But after hearing this, Evan frowned slightly, but he didn't say much.
"It's just... just for this reason!" Sheriff Chandler blushed with anger at Colonel Mel's indifference. Seeing his appearance, he even wanted to slap him directly .
"You're a villain! Asshole!" Sheriff Chandler scolded through gritted teeth.
But Colonel Mel did not even frown, and his expression remained calm.
"Mr. Sheriff, you are right at all, I am such a person." He looked at Sheriff Chandler calmly, without any guilt or shame in his expression.
Sheriff Chandler was stunned.
He has never seen such a shameless person, who has no sense of shame.
"Thank you very much for your help, Mr. Duke." Sheriff Chandler seemed to have given up reasoning with Colonel Mel, and stood up angrily to say goodbye to Duke Wilson: "Excuse me today. You, I'm also very sorry to Pastor Bruce, I'll leave first."
After he finished speaking, he pulled Colonel Mel's handcuffs and left without looking back.
Seeing Sheriff Chandler and Colonel Mel, who stumbled away, Evan looked unpredictable, and he knew very well that this was not the end of this matter.
But obviously Duke Wilson didn't think so. At this time, he completely let go of the boulder in his heart and let out a long sigh of relief. Taking advantage of no one in the living room, he came forward and hugged him. Evan's waist whispered in his ear: "What a bunch of annoying people, aren't you scared?"
Evan was dumbfounded for a while: "Am I such a weak person in your heart?" Seeing Duke Wilson's slightly anxious look, he couldn't help but smile: " Thank you very much this time, if it weren't for you, I'd be a prisoner."
Duke Wilson shook his head, his expression still a little embarrassed: "This time it's all because I've implicated you, if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be caught in this matter, and you wouldn't have been caught in this matter, and you wouldn't have been caught in this matter by May. framed by you."
Hearing him say this, Evan couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, I'm afraid he's already caught up in this matter, looking at Mel's preparations today, I'm afraid it has already been arranged For his own trap, he just didn't know why Mel would do it before, but now...
Looking at Duke Wilson's gentle eyes, Evan suddenly felt that he understood Mel's thoughts.
"Charles." Evan lowered his head and whispered in Duke Wilson's ear: "I need to go to a convent."
"Go to the monastery?" Duke Wilson looked at Evan in surprise: "Where are you going? Isn't this case over?"
Evan lowered his eyebrows and smiled: "I still have doubts in my heart, and I need to get an answer."
Duke Wilson frowned and looked at Evan, a little puzzled in his heart, but in the end he nodded: "Since you are not at ease, go take a look, I will go with you."
He said these words very firmly, and Evan knew that he could not refuse, so he could only smile and agreed.
Evan did not delay much in this matter, and almost immediately they rode Duke Wilson's carriage towards the abbey.
The monastery is not too close to Dranlier, so even if Evan and Duke Wilson hurry up, they just came to the monastery before dark.
The mother in the monastery has a bad attitude towards Evan. They belong to different churches, and there are great differences.
But even so, Mammy answered and responded to Evan's question, Evan also got a satisfactory answer, and invited the Mammy to return to Delan Lier together .
Duke Wilson's face has become very ugly since Evan began to question this mama, and it is even more difficult to have a good face along the way. Evan only smiled when he saw it, no Speaking of Duke Wilson, even he himself was not very calm in the face of this matter.
This night, Evan basically didn't sleep, and for the first time since he came to this place, he had insomnia.
Before this, he never thought much about the world, but this case made him start to think about his place in this world, as an outsider, a person who knows the plot Said that he had hardly put anyone in his eyes before, but this case showed him the ability of the natives and made him understand that not everything can be done according to his ideas.
When I woke up the next morning, Duke Wilson couldn't help but look at Evan's dark circles.
"Aren't you resting?" Duke Wilson asked worriedly.
Evan just smiled: "Fortunately, as long as this matter is over."
Speaking of this, a distorted expression flashed on Duke Wilson's face again. Evan couldn't help laughing when he saw it. Perhaps this time, it was Duke Wilson's biggest fall.
Last night, Duke Wilson had already contacted Sheriff Chandler, they will meet in Colonel Mel's castle today, all people, all things, will be today Finish.
When they came to Colonel Mel's manor, everyone had already arrived, and Sheriff Chandler came forward anxiously: "Sir, what happened? ?"
Duke Wilson waved his hand with a dark face, and said nothing. Sheriff Chandler's heart sank, thinking that something major had happened.
Evan smiled reassuringly at Sheriff Chandler, and then his eyes were completely focused on Colonel Mel, who was sitting in the corner.
He seemed to be out of his emotional state. At this time, Colonel Mel was like a silent statue, and his whole person was not alive at all.
When Evan and Duke Wilson came in, he barely lifted his eyelids, still sitting there, just clenching his fists, but it revealed his mood at this time.
After everyone came together, Sheriff Chandler was about to ask a question, but Evan was the first to speak: "Since Colonel Mel is here, why don't Mrs. Mel come down too? , I think Mrs. Mel is also very concerned about this matter."
"No need!" Colonel Mel raised his head sharply and said firmly: "She is pregnant, so don't let her down, I will admit what I did, you don't need to do any more. Tortured Katrina."
Evan looked at Colonel Mel with a half-smile, with a hint of irony in his eyes.
"Mr. Colonel, I think at this time, there should be no room for you to refuse. Your spirit of sacrifice is good, but your intention to conceal the idea is also a crime!"
Evan's powerful words surprised Sheriff Chandler who didn't know the truth, but Duke Wilson's face, who knew the inside story, became even more ugly.
"Are you confused? I didn't hide anything, I did all of this!" At this moment, Colonel Mel finally showed a trace of panic on his face.
But Evan was not at all soft-hearted.
"You don't have to deny it any more, I have already investigated this matter. Although your spirit of sacrifice is admirable, you must understand that all your means are now ineffective." When Evan said this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and Duke Wilson was sitting opposite him. He looked at Evan in a trance.
Evan frowned slightly, the light in his eyes moved slightly, but in the end, he still did not change, still looked at Colonel Mel coldly.
Colonel Mel's expression changed a lot at this time. He looked at Evan in surprise and didn't know whether what Evan said was true or not. He turned to look at the housekeeper standing at the door, only But before he could speak, a crying female voice came from upstairs.
"Charlie!" She ran downstairs in a white dressing gown, as if pregnancy had no effect on her, this was Mrs. Mayer.
Colonel Mel looked at her like this, stood up anxiously, went up to hug her, Mrs. Mel buried her head in Colonel Mel's arms and sobbed loudly One: "Oh, Charlie, why are you! This is horrible!"
It seemed that she already knew about Colonel Mel's confession. At this time, she was crying like a child, grabbing Colonel Mel's cuff and looking sadly he.
Colonel Mel's eyes were also dyed with deep sorrow, and he looked at Mrs. Mel, as if he was looking at a dream.
Evan stood by and watched, but there was always a sneer at the corner of his mouth. He could almost perceive Duke Wilson's scorching eyes, but at this time, he didn't have a trace of desire A plan to take back the ugly side of yourself.
"Mrs. Mel." Evan said slowly, "Or should I put it another way, Mother Eliza?"
Evan's words were earth-shattering, and the room suddenly fell into a strange silence.
