Evan and Duke Wilson returned to the castle. Sheriff Chandler was sitting in the living room waiting, with the unpredictable Colonel Mel beside him.
When seeing Evan coming in, Sheriff Chandler looked slightly uncomfortable. He tilted his head and did not dare to look Evan in the eyes.
Seeing him like this, Evan's heart couldn't help sinking.
"Lord Duke." Sheriff Chandler and Colonel Mel both stood up and saluted Duke Wilson.
Duke Wilson nodded indifferently, motioning them to sit down.
Several people sat down in the living room, Edward was also brought back upstairs by Butler Chris, and Duke Wilson said: "You came here this time, may I think that you have already investigated this matter?" Duke Wilson asked with almost no ups and downs.
Sheriff Chandler glanced at Evan, his face didn't look very good, he nodded heavily, and whispered: "Yes, I... I have investigated it."
A dim light flashed in Duke Wilson's eyes, and he sneered: "Now that you have found out, let's talk about it. There is no need to be so embarrassed. I want to see what you can find out."
Sheriff Chandler rubbed his hands nervously. He couldn't help but glance at Evan again, with a very complicated look in his eyes.
"This matter is indeed a bit weird." Sheriff Chandler said this sentence with great hesitation. He paused slightly, then glanced at the document at hand, and continued: "I asked someone to check Edson's The sanatorium where his son is in, his son was really bad a few days ago and needed a lot of money to support him. The money was transferred to the hospital's account to pay for Edson's son's medical expenses. After our investigation, this account was handled in the name of Colonel Mel, but after our investigation, we found that the money The source turned out to be from Pastor Bruce’s account, which is really…”
Sheriff Chandler couldn't keep up with what he said. He couldn't help but glance at Evan, and the emotions in his eyes were very complicated.
Evan pursed his lips and didn't speak, but Duke Wilson said, "Oh? I don't know how much money was involved? You know, Pastor Bruce is not a wealthy person."
Sheriff Chandler also agreed with this. He knew very well that Evan's income as a priest was such a large sum of money that it was indeed unbelievable.
"I, I can't believe it, it's just... According to our investigation results, that money is indeed the deposit of Pastor Bruce, which is absolutely not wrong." Sheriff Chandler said with some embarrassment.
Hearing this, Evan couldn't help clenching his fists. If he remembered correctly, the money should be the living expenses that Old Bruce sent him every month before, but the original owner had been enduring the poor life and put those The money was saved, and Evan didn't know what he was thinking. Just to respect his wishes, he followed suit. Now it seems to be a little careless, and it was taken advantage of!
Duke Wilson turned his head to look at Evan, as if asking for his opinion. Evan nodded slowly: "I do have a large deposit, but it's my father's money, not mine."
Duke Wilson is very aware of the relationship between Evan and his father. After listening to him again, the image of Evan's independence and unyielding immediately appeared in his mind. Duke Wilson only felt that his heart softened. admiration.
But others don't know as much as Duke Wilson, Colonel Mel simply sneered: "Mr. Reverend, even if you want to escape your guilt, you shouldn't use such a lame excuse, that money is your father. It belongs to you now, and you are of course responsible for most of his whereabouts."
Of course Evan understands this truth, but at this time he is not allowed to really tear up his face and quarrel with Mel, which is completely inconsistent with his image, so Evan endured the anger in his heart and smiled lightly. : "I haven't managed this money since I deposited it in the bank. You said I'm responsible. I still don't know what happened."
For Evan's refusal, Mel just smiled and didn't delve into it.
Evan couldn't help frowning, what the hell was this person planning.
"Anyway." Sheriff Chandler, who had been avoiding Evan's eyes for a long time, finally looked at Evan: "Pastor Bruce, this matter has reached this point, you need to go to the police station with me."
When he said these words, he seemed to be almost dead.
Evan was startled. Just as he was about to say something, Duke Wilson's hand suddenly came up. With a sense of reassurance, Evan looked up at Duke Wilson. He pursed his lips slightly, but his expression was very indifferent. , did not seem to have been affected by Sheriff Chandler's remarks.
Evan's heart finally calmed down. It seemed that Duke Wilson was ready for this matter. Thinking of this, Evan glanced at Colonel Mel who was unpredictable. It appeared again. He always felt that he was getting closer and closer to the truth, but he didn't expect to be suddenly stopped by this sudden counterattack, but now...
A little smile appeared in Evan's eyes.
"Your request is very reasonable." Duke Wilson's tone was very calm, and Sheriff Chandler was a little surprised. He originally thought that the biggest obstacle to his trip was Duke Wilson, but he didn't expect that the Duke would say such a thing .
"Then...then we won't bother." Sheriff Chandler didn't want to stop here, he got up and wanted to leave.
"Please wait." Duke Wilson suddenly raised his hand to block Sheriff Chandler's movements. Sheriff Chandler's heart that had been put down could not help but hang high again.
"Although your request is very reasonable, I have to say that the premise of your request is full of loopholes." Duke Wilson sneered at Sheriff Chandler and Colonel Mel. A thick paper bag was presented, Duke Wilson opened the paper bag leisurely, and took out a stack of documents from it.
"These things are what I have investigated in the past few days. You can take a look and see if there are any omissions." Duke Wilson unceremoniously threw the stack of documents to Sheriff Chandler's side. There was a trace of disdain in his expression.
Sheriff Chandler's eyes were completely attracted by the document, and he did not see the Duke's attitude clearly.
The document was very thick and long. Sheriff Chandler watched the incident for half an hour before he finished reading the document, but his face at this time was already ugly and a little blue.
He looked at the Duke speechlessly, not knowing what to say for a while.
"President... Lord Duke..." Sheriff Chandler's tone was a little weak.
Duke Wilson had a fake smile on his face, and there was a touch of contempt from the inside out: "How? If you think it's not enough, I still have certification."
Speaking of which, he looked at Colonel Mel's words meaningfully.
Colonel Mel frowned slightly, but his expression remained the same.
"No... No need, these are enough." Obviously, those documents shocked Sheriff Chandler.
He took a deep breath, turned his head to look at Colonel Mel, and whispered, "Mr. Colonel, why are you doing this?"
Mel looked at Sheriff Chandler in surprise: "What are you talking about? What did I do?"
At this time, Sheriff Chandler lost the patience to face Duke Wilson, and slammed the document onto the table in front of Mel.
"How long are you going to play stupid with me! I didn't realize that you are such a person. Pastor Bruce ran for you, but you used this to frame him. I almost thought you were innocent before. , Now I found out that the murderer is really you!"
Sheriff Chandler was really angry at this time. He didn't even care about the demeanor he had always maintained, but Colonel Mel still pretended to be innocent and wrinkled tightly. Mei: "Mr. Sheriff, what are you trying to say?"
Looking at his appearance, Sheriff Chandler seemed to have given up reasoning with him, and waved his hand in despair: "Look at these documents."
Colonel Mel picked up the papers on the table, and although his face still had a calm look, his trembling fingertips betrayed his feelings.
Colonel Mel's reading speed was obviously faster than that of Sheriff Chandler. It took him fifteen minutes to read through these documents, and his face turned gray step by step. He looked at Duke Wilson with some despair. His lips trembled, and he couldn't say a word.
At this time, Duke Wilson, who had been watching the play, finally said: "I think you two have read this document. I think you can understand what he said according to your ability to understand?" There was a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth, but the anger in his eyes could not be concealed. Mel dared to touch his people, which was definitely something he could not allow.
"You... why did you do this?" Mel's trembling fingertips could barely hold the document in his hand, and he looked a little disbelieving.
He couldn't believe that Duke Wilson could do such a thing. In order to find out that the money was transferred from Evan's account through his own black box operation, he almost placed him in most of the banking system. Every hidden thread has been exposed, and even the dirty things he has done are shaken out. This is like taking chestnuts from the fire. If one is not careful, the glory of the Crist family will be ruined. He had it in his hand, but looking at Duke Wilson in front of him, Mel felt that the man in front of him could really do anything.
He must be crazy!
Colonel Mayer had only this sentence left in his mind at this time.
"Why?" Duke Wilson's smile was cold: "Do you still ask me why at this point? You tried everything to frame Evan, but I want to ask you, why? That money is you It was stolen from Evan's account! You bought Ederson too! Now tell me who killed Mother Eliza!"
Every word of Duke Wilson was like a knife, stabbing straight into Mel's heart. At this moment, his face was so ugly that he was about to faint.
