Evan left after seeing Duke Wilson again. Now the matter of Colonel Mel has become more and more complicated. He must figure it out as soon as possible. Only in this way, the pressure on Duke Wilson's side will be less. .
Evan is so considerate of Duke Wilson, of course the Duke is very clear, so when Evan was sent away early, the joy in his eyes was so obvious that Butler Chris couldn't help but mutter, this is something that has never happened before, If the pastor Bruce left, the Duke would definitely be sulking.
Duke Wilson did not see the different expression on Butler Chris. After Evan left, he immediately summoned Kevin. Although a positive investigation of this matter was necessary, Duke Wilson believed more that he was there. The power in the dark, this time, this incident was able to hide from the eyes and ears under his hands. It seems that he is definitely not an ordinary person. He must make plans early.
After Evan left Cornwall Manor again, he walked directly to Sheriff Chandler's house. Sheriff Chandler was also in charge of this matter. He wanted to know the situation and it was best to ask Sheriff Chandler. .
When Evan arrived at Sheriff Chandler's house, Mrs. Chandler was reprimanding the child in the house, her expression was very serious, and she immediately put on a gentle smile when she saw Evan coming.
"Oh, Pastor Bruce, why are you here, Will is upstairs now, did you come to see him?" Mrs. Chandler was not a beautiful lady, but when she laughed, she still carried a few Sub-soft.
Evan nodded with a gentle expression, and Mrs. Chandler also dropped her younger son who was full of tears, welcomed Evan into the room, and shouted to her second son, who was sitting in the corner watching jokes: "Go and call Come down your dad, here comes Pastor Bruce."
The second son is a clever little ghost, and immediately ran upstairs. Evan followed Mrs. Chandler to the living room, only to find that the entire living room was surrounded by Mrs. Chandler's woven fabric, and all the stools on the sofa were covered with It was a woolen hat and socks that looked messy.
Mrs. Chandler smiled a little embarrassedly: "I'm so sorry, I made you laugh, because it will be Christmas in a few days, and these are things prepared for the charity association."
Evan smiled and nodded: "You really think a kind lady."
Derain Real is a traditional Protestant town. The women in the town always have endless kindness, so the charity association and women's association in this town are very lively places. Evan has heard of it before. of.
Just as the two of them were talking, Sheriff Chandler had come downstairs, his tie was crooked, his hair was a little messy, and he looked like he hadn't slept all night. have to.
Seeing him like this, Evan couldn't do anything, and Mrs. Chandler got angry first: "Oh, look what you look like! This is really disrespectful, we have guests!"
Sheriff Chandler murmured and walked over, scratched his hair like a bird's nest, and said indifferently: "Pastor Bruce is not an outsider."
His natural look made Mrs. Chandler angry enough, but Evan couldn't help but smile: "Madam, please don't be angry, Sheriff Chandler is right, I am good friends with Sheriff, no would mind."
Seeing that Evan also said the same, Mrs. Chandler couldn't say anything else, she just gave Sheriff Chandler a fierce look, turned and left the living room.
Watching Mrs. Chandler go out, Sheriff Chandler came over and swept out an open space on the sofa, motioning Evan to sit down.
Evan didn't dislike it, and sat down.
"I know why you are here, Pastor Bruce." Sheriff Chandler sat on the sofa opposite Evan and rubbed the bridge of his nose tiredly: "It's just that things are still a mess, and I don't know about this. What the hell is going on."
Evan smiled slightly: "If something like this happened, it's not just you, I'm also very confused now. Did Mr. Edson really commit suicide?" He asked tentatively, but his eyes didn't blink. She looked into Sheriff Chandler's eyes, for fear of missing something.
Sheriff Chandler frowned and glanced at Evan when he heard him ask this question: "Do you have any ideas for asking this?" He knew very well that Evan was not a targetless person.
Evan just smiled and shook his head: "Unfortunately, I don't have any idea, I just feel like a person like Mr. Edson, I'm a little surprised that he committed suicide, Mr. Edson is not so vulnerable people."
Sheriff Chandler couldn't help sighing: "Don't say it's your new pastor, even I don't want to believe it, Edson is a good guy, he has the will of steel, so I am also very surprised that people committed suicide.”
Evan couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "Since that's the case, isn't there any suspicion of homicide?"
Speaking of this, Sheriff Chandler smiled wryly and waved his hand: "If there is, I will not rest at home now, but continue to investigate this matter."
Evan couldn't help frowning, and there still didn't seem to be any traces that Edson committed suicide first.
"So, did this Mr. Ederson leave any suicide note?" Evan continued to ask.
Sheriff Chandler shook his head: "If there is such a thing, then I don't have to speculate here for no reason." The letter originally left for the Duke had been taken away long ago. Sheriff Chandler and Egypt Wen was unaware of the existence of the letter.
Hearing this, Evan couldn't help frowning, it seemed that this matter really had no clue.
"So what is Colonel Mel's mood about this matter?" Evan looked at the corner and asked thoughtfully.
Sheriff Chandler's tone was stagnant, and he looked at Evan's words with some doubts; "This... I didn't ask, do you think this matter is related to Colonel Mel's case?"
Evan didn't expect that he hadn't thought of this yet, and the smile on his face suddenly became a little reluctant, he waved his hand gently: "I'm just guessing, because this incident is too coincidental, and these two This gentleman is also Duke Wilson's staff, so I can't help but..."
Sheriff Chandler nodded in agreement: "What you said is very true, and I feel deeply, but these two things are so different that I didn't even think about it." He was a little ashamed said.
Evan just smiled: "It's normal for you not to think about it, after all, I'm just guessing randomly."
But Sheriff Chandler's face became heavy at this time, he looked at Evan and whispered: "Your idea is very novel, but it is also very thought-provoking, these two things are indeed It's too coincidental, I just accepted this case yesterday, and the General Administration immediately held a meeting, and I haven't been able to think about it carefully, and now it seems that there are indeed a lot of doubts."
Seeing that Sheriff Chandler had understood what he meant, Evan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He always felt that this incident was too coincidental, but he didn't know what was the special connection, maybe only the insiders Colonel Mayer knows something he doesn't know.
Now that there is a new direction of investigation, Sheriff Chandler is full of energy, he immediately stood up from the sofa, stood in front of Evan with some excitement, and whispered: "Can you accompany me? Let's go and interrogate Colonel Mel again, Mr. Colonel is a very cunning man, and I think only you can get words out of his mouth."
Evan waved his hand modestly and said a few polite words, but in the end he couldn't resist Sheriff Chandler's invitations, and he followed Sheriff Chandler towards the police station with satisfaction.
**
When I saw Colonel Mel again, he was much calmer than the last time. At least from the outside, he couldn't see the resentment and pain of the last time, but there was still a little panic in his eyes, and he looked a little pitiful.
"Mr. Colonel." Evan nodded politely to him.
After Evan spoke, Colonel Mel's eyes swept straight towards Evan, but there was no more ups and downs in his eyes, but he nodded mechanically.
Sheriff Chandler was a little impatient with such Colonel Mel, tapped the table lightly and said, "I came here with Pastor Bruce this time to tell you a very regrettable news."
When talking about this, Colonel Mel raised his head sharply, a little panic flashed in his eyes, and Evan couldn't help frowning.
"Mr. Ederson is dead." Sheriff Chandler didn't notice the difference with Colonel Mel, and continued to speak calmly.
Evan has been staring at Colonel Mel's every move. He is very aware that when Sheriff Chandler said these words, Colonel Mel was slightly relieved.
Evan's doubts suddenly increased, what was he worried about
"Ederson?" Colonel Mel looked at Sheriff Chandler with a puzzled look. He tilted his head slightly, with a look of confusion on his face: "How could he die?"
Sheriff Chandler has been looking at Colonel Mel's face since he finished speaking, for fear of missing something. Hearing what he said, he couldn't help frowning: "Judging from the scene, he should have committed suicide."
"Suicide?" Colonel Mel's originally calm tone finally changed a little, he looked at Sheriff Chandler and waved his hand very firmly: "No, no, no, it's impossible, Edson will never Suicide!"
"Absolutely not?" Sheriff Chandler looked at Colonel Mel with some sarcasm. "Why do you say he will never commit suicide? Are you going to tell me that he is Catholic and that suicide is against the teachings?"
Colonel Mayer ignored Sheriff Chandler's provocative tone. He just frowned and said flatly, "Ederson came to visit me in prison the day before yesterday."
"What!" Sheriff Chandler suddenly stood up from his chair: "It's impossible, I told you not to let anyone come to see you."
Colonel Mel raised his chin, looked at Sheriff Chandler's face calmly, and whispered: "Yes, you did so, but unfortunately, Edson is my lawyer."
Sheriff Chandler's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye. He didn't even know that Ederson was a lawyer.
"What the hell is going on here?" Sheriff Chandler sat down while holding the fire, almost gnashing his teeth at Colonel Mel.
But Colonel Mayer's face was still calm at this time, as if he was unaware of Sheriff Chandler's anger.
"Ederson came to visit me secretly the day before yesterday, and we talked about some personal affairs. He begged me to say good things to the Duke, and he also told me..." Colonel Mel took a deep breath at this point, and seemed to be a little uncomfortable. Zi Zai: "And also told me that he has a seriously ill son living in a nursing home, and he needs to stay with the Duke to maintain those expenses, or his son... his son will die."
When he said the last sentence, Colonel Mel's tone had become a little bitter. His expression seemed to be a little sad, and he seemed to be a little regretful. He looked straight at the man sitting next to Sheriff Chandler. Evan, murmured: "And I, rejected him."
