"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 Butler Chris.
Butler Chris grinned in embarrassment and said in a low voice, "This... I don't know either, but Sheriff Chandler looks very determined, and I... "
Duke Wilson frowned and waved: "Let him in."
Chandler was arrested at his house, I really don't know if he was too sure or looked down on himself.
After a while, Sheriff Chandler followed Butler Chris in. He looked very cautious, but when he looked at Colonel Mel, his eyes were very sharp.
"Lord Duke." He nodded slightly: "I'm bothering you."
Duke Wilson looked at him coldly: "I heard that you came to arrest Mel. What did he do wrong?"
"I think you heard about the murder in town from Colonel Mel, right?" Sheriff Chandler was not frightened by Duke Wilson's serious expression, but said very rationally: "I used to I have always been very suspicious of Colonel Mel's innocence, 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 Mel to talk to the police station. this problem."
Sheriff Chandler's statement was well-founded, but 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 the panic-stricken Colonel Mel, Duke Wilson said indifferently: "If you are innocent, I hope you can. Clear the suspicion as soon as possible." When he said these words, his expression was meaningful.
Colonel Mel nodded stiffly, panic-stricken 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 didn't say much.
Sheriff Chandler left with Colonel Mel, but Duke Wilson's face sank all of a sudden. Colonel Mel, as his confidant, became a suspect of a murder case on the first day he came back. People, no matter what the final truth is, for the current Duke Wilson, this will make his face very ugly, not to mention in the small village of Derain, if Duke Wilson guesses correctly, it will not be tonight. , I am afraid that the whole village will know, thinking of this, Duke Wilson's face is even 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, and Mrs. Sanders happened to be coming in from outside, her face With a touch of restrained excitement.
"What's wrong with you?" Evan asked in confusion.
Mrs. Sanders' lips trembled slightly before she said, "Colonel Mel has been arrested."
If it was someone else who didn't understand this sentence without beginning or end, Evan immediately 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, 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. It's really a shame for the church, even if it's a Catholic church thing..." Mrs. Sanders still endured He 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 to Sheriff Chandler that Mother Eliza and Colonel Mel were unusual. Colonel Mel arrests Colonel Mel."
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 couldn't possibly be unresponsive.
"Oh, this is really dramatic." Mrs. Sanders finally had an expression on her originally indifferent face, and said a little excitedly: "Colonel Mel was arrested at Cornwall Manor, in front of Wilson. The Duke's face, this is so bold, I can't imagine the expression on Duke Wilson's face now, a noble gentleman like him, encountering such a thing really..." Mrs. Sanders sighed with great sympathy.
Evan couldn't help frowning. Sheriff Chandler was so ruthless when he did things, 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, and 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 was very aware of Duke Wilson's character, and he was a very self-respecting man. Man, when such a thing happened, I was afraid that he would be more anxious than Colonel Mel himself, and now this kind of scene is the most taboo thing to worry about. He is afraid that Duke Wilson will make things more difficult to handle.
When Evan came out, the carriage was ready, and Mrs. Sanders was standing at the door waiting for him. Evan didn't say much, just got on the carriage in silence and ran towards Cornwall Manor.
When Evan arrived at Cornwall Manor, it was already dark, and the door of the manor was tightly closed, which looked a little gloomy. Evan got off the carriage, walked to the door and 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 turned out to be you, please wait a moment, I will report to the Duke immediately."
Because Evan often went in and out of the manor, the whole manor was very familiar with him, and they all knew that the relationship between him and the duke was very close, so Evan did not wait long before the door opened.
"Mr. Pastor." The person who didn't expect to come was actually Butler Chris, and there was a hint of surprise on Evan's face.
"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, maybe only you can persuade He is."
Evan's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this, but his brows became deeper and deeper. 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. Evan went upstairs with the dim light and was at the door of the Duke's study. stopped.
Butler Chris gave Evan an embarrassed look and whispered, "Please persuade the Duke well, he doesn't listen to us at all now."
Evan nodded, and Butler Chris also left very acquainted.
After Butler Chris disappeared at the corner of the stairs, Evan said in a low voice, "Charles, it's me."
With just such a sentence, there was a sudden noise in the originally silent room, and then the closed door in front of Evan suddenly opened.
"You're 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.
Hearing Evan talking about this, Duke Wilson's originally excited eyes dimmed immediately, and he waved his hand impatiently: "I really didn't expect that Mel would be such a stupid thing, really..." Being the talk of the whole Derainier, Duke Wilson was so angry that his hands trembled.
Evan didn't want to see him like this, so he walked in with a smile, closed the door, and reached out his hand to hug him into his arms.
Such a simple action made Duke Wilson's body completely stiff in an instant. He seemed to be frightened and looked at Evan blankly. When he reacted, he hugged Evan's waist tightly and lowered his body Said: "You are here, it's really good."
Evan patted his 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 and dare not slander your reputation. , this matter will pass, don't worry."
Duke Wilson couldn't help sighing when he heard these words. Evan was still too naive. He didn't know the power of rumors, let alone the role that Colonel Mel played by his side. , although he also cares, but he doesn't care too deeply. The most important thing is what Colonel Mel has done for him. Since his father, the relationship between Colonel Mel and the Christ family has been very close. But the fact that he was able to accumulate so much wealth in a short period of time did not come out of thin air.
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 was because he did a lot of dirty things in private for his father and for him, whether it was spying. Intelligence is still 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.
This time the incident is small, but if it was really what Colonel Mel did, then in order to save his life, I am afraid that these things would also be dangerous. Duke Wilson couldn't help but clenched his fist. A problem has arisen. Under the circumstance that he knows nothing now, he must try his best to save the life of Colonel Mel, otherwise the key will be pulled out of these things, I am afraid that his face will be more ugly than it is now, and the London side…
Duke Wilson's expression was obscure, but when he raised his head to look at Evan, his eyes returned to a gentle look, and said in a low voice, "I know, with you here, this matter will definitely be investigated. "He hates using Evan very much, but at this moment he has to do it, because he can't let Evan know that he is another version of himself.
Duke Wilson's expression was firm and calm.
