Evan's question was like a heavy hammer hitting Dr. Hester's face, his face stiffened for a moment, and then a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face: "You know, last time Lord Edward She doesn't dare to face the Duke again."
Only then did Evan react. It turned out that what he did last time actually caused such a series of reactions.
"Did no one sneak back?" Evan continued to ask.
"Yes and yes, but none of them have anything to do with John, only Arya..." Dr. Hester was almost speechless.
Evan sighed: "Is there really nothing wrong with your estimated time of death?"
Dr. Hester suddenly froze when he heard this, Evan's expression changed, and he immediately asked, "Is there anything wrong?"
Dr. Hester hesitated for a while, and said with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "Actually, at the beginning, I estimated the time to be between ten and eleven, that is, within the period after the fireworks display, but..."
"But what?" Evan frowned nervously.
"But when I checked the body at the time, I found that there was a fire in John's house. You know, John died in front of the fireplace. If the indoor temperature is too high, it will affect the change of the body, so I According to the lighting of the stove, the time of John's death was moved back by an hour, and then..." Dr. Hester looked embarrassed and struggling.
Evan took a deep breath when he heard it, frowned and said, "You are too confused, how can you handle such important news so casually, that stove may have been left by the murderer to hide from people's eyes, maybe you It should be reported to Sheriff Chandler, let him investigate this, and you're making a decision, aren't you?"
Dr. Hester was ashamed: "I...I just thought..."
"I'm afraid you have read too many mystery novels, and some things are not as simple as they appear on the surface, Dr. Hester, I still recommend that you do an autopsy again, and don't make such a light decision. "Evan's voice was a little stern.
Dr. Hester seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, and nodded immediately: "You are right, it was my previous error that caused this result, and I will go to Sheriff Chandler. Explain."
Evan nodded, but suddenly he thought of another question: "By the way, Dr. Hester." He grabbed the doctor's arm: "I want to ask you, Arya went to see John here. How did you know about it?"
Hester opened his mouth wide for a moment, stunned for a moment, and finally said: "Yes... Yesterday someone sent an anonymous letter to Sheriff Chandler's house, saying that they saw Arya visit John's house."
Evan's mouth curled slightly when he heard it. Since someone saw it, it meant that another person had been to Woodwich Cottage that night.
Dr. Hester left in a hurry, but Evan was completely quiet. This matter was so twisted and bizarre, it seemed that there were still big problems.
In the afternoon, Dr. Hester came again. At this time, he was much more relaxed than in the morning. He took Evan's hand with gratitude and said, "Pastor Bruce, thanks to your guidance, Sheriff Chandler has gone to investigate the matter, and the ashes from the fire have also been sent to Scotland Yard for examination by the sheriff. I believe that Arya will get rid of this matter as soon as possible."
Evan nodded with a smile, and said warmly, "That's good."
Seeing Dr. Hester's relieved look, Evan's expression turned slightly, and then he asked, "Have you found the person who exposed Miss Arya at that time?"
When Dr. Hester heard this, his face suddenly became a little angry: "I really don't know who is so despicable and shameless. Sheriff Chandler also launched the police to look for him, but he didn't find this person. I guess, this person must have killed him. John, and then framed poor Arya."
Leaving aside Dr. Hester's personal inferences, this man must be a key point in the case, but it is inevitable.
"Don't get excited yet, Alia's matter hasn't been found out yet, don't rush this matter." Evan reassured Dr. Hester for a few words, but he suddenly came up with a solution, since this matter is so confusing , why don't he just make it a little more complicated.
Evan sent Dr. Hester away, but he himself went to see Sheriff Chandler, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible, the world must be put on track as soon as possible, otherwise he does not know what will happen .
Sheriff Chandler is very busy now, and when he sees Evan, there is no good face.
"Pastor Bruce, you're here at the wrong time." Sheriff Hester held a piece of bread in his mouth and a stack of documents in his hand. The police station was very busy, and there was noise everywhere. Evan was dressed in a meticulous priest. robe, but it has become an outlier.
Evan took over the document in his hand with a smile, and said warmly, "I'm here to find you today on business. I have a way to help you find the person who wrote you an anonymous letter. Would you like to try?"
Sheriff Chandler couldn't help frowning: "First, Dr. Hester pretended to be a detective to delay the case. What do you think now?"
Sheriff Chandler's words were a bit ugly, but Evan was surprised when he heard it: "No, it's not a high opinion, it's just my opinion, since this person will send an anonymous letter to expose Miss Arya, I'm afraid she Not only is there a grudge against Arya, but you are also involved in this matter, why don't you release Miss Arya temporarily, I'm afraid this person won't be able to sit still."
When Sheriff Chandler heard this, there was a flash of joy in his eyes. He hurriedly took the document in Evan's hand and said with a smile, "My good pastor, sit down."
Evan sat down with a smile. Sheriff Chandler randomly placed the documents on the table, but he turned around in the office excitedly: "This method is good, but there are still some hidden dangers."
"Jack!" Sheriff Chandler shouted out of the house.
A seventeen or eighteen-year-old police officer came in: "Are you looking for me?"
"Go to Jim and Pete, the three of you will follow Miss Arya from today, don't let her out of your sight." Sheriff Chandler commanded resolutely.
Jack looked at the sheriff in confusion: "Isn't that lady in prison?"
Sheriff Chandler patted the officer's shoulder heavily and said with a smile, "Not now! We're going to let her out."
"Let go?" The police officer was even more puzzled.
"Okay, don't talk nonsense with me here, go do your business." Sheriff Chandler kicked him, and the little policeman immediately ran away in fright.
Watching the little police officer run out, Sheriff Chandler laughed happily, but Evan watched with some twitches at the corners of his mouth.
After Chief Chandler ordered these things, he turned his head to look at Evan excitedly: "Pastor Bruce, you are really my lucky star, if this thing is successful, I will never forget your help. ."
Evan just waved his hand when he heard it: "Forget it. I don't want anyone to be wronged to make this decision. I just hope that God will not blame me for my lies."
Sheriff Chandler grabbed Evan's hand and laughed: "Don't worry! You are bringing the bad guys to justice, and God will be grateful to you."
For Sheriff Chandler's words, Evan only responded with a wry smile.
This time, Sheriff Chandler personally sent Evan outside the police station, and he did not go back until Evan turned the corner.
Evan didn't take the carriage this time. He walked along the town's path toward his hut. If his guess was correct, he probably already knew who the person who exposed Arya was, but there was no evidence that he didn't either. I can't tell what happened to that person, I just hope that this plan will work and arrest that person, so that they can really know what happened that night in Woodwich Cottage.
It was already dark when Evan returned to the parson's cottage, but he found that Tom was waiting at the door, saw him coming back from a distance, and hurried over.
"Pastor Bruce, the Duke is here!" Tom looked excited.
Evan was a little surprised that Duke Wilson came.
