"Why?" Sheriff Chandler stared blankly at Colonel Mel and Eliza: "Why would you do such a terrible thing?" He murmured in disbelief.
Colonel Mel hugged Eliza tightly, and seemed to be amused by Sheriff Chandler's question, and hooked his lips mockingly.
"Why? Don't you think it's funny to ask this at this time?" He seemed to give up at this time, and his expression was completely undisguised indifference and sarcasm.
"If I'm going to be with Eliza, someone has to sacrifice. Do you think it would be so easy for a nun to leave the church?"
Sheriff Chandler looked at him with a very complicated expression.
Evan chuckled at this moment: "You killed poor Mrs. Mel in order to be with Mother Eliza. Is this what you call sacrifice?"
Colonel Mel turned to look at Evan, with an apparent cold indifference in his expression.
"She's just a country bumpkin from a small place. I gave her status and wealth. Of course she has to pay something."
His cruel words made Sheriff Chandler's heart that was on the verge of rage burst out. He rushed to Colonel Mel, raised his collar viciously, and punched him in the stomach.
"Scumbag!" he cursed fiercely.
Colonel Mel suddenly curled up in pain, clutching his throbbing abdomen, and he couldn't stand up straight.
"You turned out to be such a beastly person, I misunderstood you before!" Sheriff Chandler scolded with disgust.
Colonel Mel laughed at this time: "Hahahahaha..."
His laughter was so exaggerated that everyone couldn't help but look sideways.
"Sheriff Chandler." He turned to look at the sheriff: "This world is like this, what's right or wrong? If my crimes are not exposed today, then in your heart I will still be That venerable colonel, and my wife is still a poor Katrina, you condemn me like this only because my crime was discovered, but how would you know if there was anything else? man, whose crimes you may never find out in your life."
When he said this, he glanced at Duke Wilson, who was standing behind Evan with a heavy face, and felt very heavy in his heart. Maybe others didn't know the character of the Duke, but he knew it better than anyone else.
Sheriff Chandler didn't notice Colonel Mel's little move, he still gave him a contemptuous look and said coldly: "I advise you to put away your rhetoric, the crimes you committed are enough for you to be hanged. ."
Colonel Mayer didn't seem to hear Sheriff Chandler's blatant intimidation, his expression as usual.
Evan looked at him and couldn't help but smile: "Mr. Sheriff, I think in this matter, you still can't forget Mother Eliza, as I said, Mrs. Mel was Before the killing, Colonel Mel had an alibi, but Mother Eliza did not, who killed poor Mrs. Mel, I'm afraid there is another world."
As soon as Evan said these words, Eliza, who was curled up in Colonel Mel's arms, couldn't help but flinch, and Colonel Mel also hurriedly stood up and said coldly, "Pastor Bruce, you don't need to provoke any more. We are separated, it is indeed me who killed Katrina, and it has nothing to do with Eliza."
His anxious appearance made him even more suspicious. Sheriff Chandler looked at the weak Eliza suspiciously, as if he didn't believe it.
"Are you sure? Pastor Bruce?" he couldn't help asking.
Evan nodded, and there was a flash of darkness in his eyes: "If you conduct in-depth investigations, you will find that during the period of Mrs. Mel's death, Colonel Mel was going to a farmhouse on the road to the monastery because he The sudden kindness helped a poor peasant get rid of the rent-chasing of the little squire."
When he said these words, Evan's eyes kept staring at Colonel Mel's movements, and he couldn't help but sneer when he watched him frown. Colonel Er was treated as a good friend, and he exonerated him, not only for Duke Wilson, but also because of his self-righteous friendship, but he did not expect that he would suffer such a betrayal in the end.
Evan will never let go of anyone who treats him like this.
"Although... Even so..." Colonel Mel's face showed a trace of annoyance: "But am I going to do this kind of thing myself? This is what I asked Edson to do, and it has nothing to do with Eliza. "
"Ederson?" Evan looked at Colonel Mel with a sneer: "Before the Duke and I came back, I believe you didn't bribe Mr. Ederson, Mr. Ederson is your scapegoat, I believe you He wouldn't have been involved in this matter so early, otherwise, in Mr. Edson's knowledge, he would never cooperate with you. The reason why he committed suicide under your coercion was simply because He has completely lost the trust of the duke, has nowhere to go, and his son's illness is completely hopeless, so he has come back into your trap, not to mention..." Evan looked at Colonel Mel and smiled and said this. the most important part of the event.
"What's more, if you can really bribe Mr. Ederson so easily, why would you design such a complicated game, wouldn't it be easier to let Mr. Edson kill and be arrested?"
After Colonel Mel heard this sentence, it was as if he had suffered some kind of heavy blow, and his originally straight back collapsed completely.
"You... you..." He pointed at Evan with trembling hands, his face was pale, and he couldn't say a word for a while.
Sheriff Chandler finally reacted at this time, and looked at Eliza, who was shrinking in Colonel Mel's arms, in disbelief.
"This..." He was a little stagnant for a while, he couldn't believe that the person who did such a terrible thing would be such a weak lady, and thinking about the tragic state of the corpse, Sheriff Chandler was in his heart. I can't help but get chills, it's just... just...
"She didn't do it." Colonel Mel said with a livid face and gritted teeth. "I sent someone else to do it. She just followed my instructions and exchanged identities with Katrina."
Colonel Mel refused to admit it, but Evan just sneered. The more serious Colonel Mel denied, the more real it could only prove.
"Charlie."
Suddenly, a cold female voice came from Colonel Mel's arms.
Everyone was attracted by this voice and looked into Colonel Mel's arms.
Eliza raised her head slowly, the distressing tears in her eyes were gone at this time, and the only thing left was the boundless desertion.
"Charlie, don't say it anymore." She seemed to be enduring some kind of pain, and a struggle flashed on her face: "I did that thing." She slowly said this sentence.
Colonel Mel's face changed suddenly, he grabbed Eliza's arm, and said sharply, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Eliza turned to look at Colonel Mel, but there was a bleak smile on her lips: "Charlie, don't hide it for me, I want to tell this." Her face was as soft as a warm spring. Yang, but there is desolation and sadness hidden in his eyes.
Colonel Mel pursed his lips in pain, as if he wanted to say something, and seemed to have some kind of emotion brewing in his chest, but he didn't say a word in the end, and slowly let go of his hand.
Eliza turned her head to look at Sheriff Chandler again. She raised her hand and stroked the broken hair behind her ear, revealing the earlobe that she had been covering. There was a red mole on the earlobe, which appeared on the fair skin. It looks exceptionally dazzling under the skin tone.
"This is the only difference between me and Katrina." Eliza whispered: "I have a mole on my earlobe, but she doesn't. To cover this up, I ruined her face, only this way , so no one will pay attention to why her earlobes are rotten."
She said such cruel words, but the expression on her face was still gentle and pure.
"That's what I thought at first, you know? From the time Charlie told me about the plan, I was totally against it. I don't think we should treat a poor woman like this. It's just too cruel." Probably. Thinking back to something, she couldn't help but smile.
"But as this matter progressed, I found that my mood changed." She looked straight at the void, as if she could see something from there.
"Clearly the person Charlie loves is me, but it is Katrina who is in love with him, and it is Katrina who gets his endless tenderness. Nested in that small monastery, nestled in that boundless dark corner, Yu Yu walked alone, why? Why?" Her tears streamed down his pale cheeks, but at this time she was not as weak as before , the rest is only pure sadness and endless pain: "It's clear that the person he loves the most... is me!"
She said these words like a complaint, causing everyone present to be silent.
"So, when I was facing her cold body, I told myself I was trying to keep people from seeing the difference between us, but when her blood splattered on my face, I realized, It turns out that I have been looking forward to this day, looking forward to killing her, to kill the person who has taken my position, my love, my identity!" Eliza's face became crazy, her eyes hidden with the deepest darkness.
Evan looked at her silently without saying a word, but Sheriff Chandler was already shocked at this time. He couldn't do anything impolite to a lady, so in the end, he could only ask with a trembling voice. : "You... are you crazy?"
Eliza raised her head sharply and looked at Sheriff Chandler. She twitched the corners of her mouth and seemed to want to laugh, but the tears on her face and the madness in her eyes made her expression completely weird. .
"I should be crazy," she replied softly. "After staying in that place for so many years, I should have been crazy a long time ago."
"Elysa." Colonel Mel hugged Eliza from behind, he buried his head tightly in Eliza's neck, his face seemed to flash with grief: "Stop talking, Eliza, It's all gone, it's all gone..." He muttered in a soothing tone.
Evan looked at this scene, and his eyes flashed with light that others couldn't understand. He turned around and whispered, "I want to leave this place."
After he finished speaking, he strode outside.
