"Dead?" Fuld looked straight at Duke Wilson: "It's surprising."
Duke Wilson tickled the corners of his mouth sarcastically: "Please sit down first. If you say this, I'm afraid it will take a long time to talk about it."
Fuld raised his eyebrows and smiled, sitting on the chair beside Evan, the Duke clenched his hands, and his eyebrows were already wrinkled.
"Lord Duke." Fuld spoke again: "What the hell is going on here?"
Ferd's question is indeed really suspicious. He is an investigator of the church, and the suspect has died since then. If there is no explanation, it will be difficult for him to repay.
Duke Wilson pondered for a moment, and finally said: "Mr. Johnson was found dead in his bed a few days ago. At first everyone thought it was suicide, but now they have begun to re-investigate."
"Re-investigation?" Ferd grabbed the point at once: "Is there any doubt about Mr. Johnson's death?"
"It's his widow who has doubts." Duke Wilson said coldly.
Fuld raised his eyebrows slightly: "So it is." He turned to look at Evan, who looked slightly pale, and said in a low voice, "I wonder how Pastor Bruce views this matter?"
Evan frowned, always feeling that Ferd's words were a little malicious.
"This matter is within the jurisdiction of Sheriff Chandler, I don't know very well." Evan replied politely and distantly.
But Ferd still didn't want to let him go, but smiled again: "Really? I heard that you helped the police solve a very difficult case, and I thought you had changed your career. Detective."
Evan froze and looked at Ferd, where did he hear about this.
Ferd also saw his doubts clearly, but just smiled: "Don't you know? I have a good relationship with Judge Conville of the County Court."
Evan couldn't help but grit his teeth. He almost forgot that the man in front of him was the earl's son. Although he was working in the church now, his communication scope was much wider than that of his miserable pastor.
"Really." Evan smirked: "If that's the case, then you should know that I only did a little bit of effort, but part of it was solved by Sheriff Chandler's own ability."
Ford looked at Evan and smiled meaningfully. His smile not only made Evan very uncomfortable, but Duke Wilson was even more angry.
This is like a provocation to him. In his opinion, Evan is already in his bag. Although he always thinks that Evan can't do anything with himself, he can't allow others to interfere. Shi was acutely aware that Ferde meant Evan differently.
"Mr. Ford, the purpose of your visit this time is to investigate the embezzlement of church property. Mr. Johnson has pleaded guilty. If you want to investigate the property issue, you should go to Mrs. Johnson." Duke Wilson's comments on Ferd and Evan's Very dissatisfied with the contact.
Ford gave Duke Wilson a surprised look, raised his eyebrows and said, "What you said is, but this matter is so complicated, it still needs the cooperation of Pastor Bruce."
His words were so reasonable that Duke Wilson couldn't find anything to refute him for a while.
At this time, Evan spoke: "Mr. Verde, you should also see that I am seriously injured now, and I am afraid that I cannot satisfy your request, but Mrs. Sanders is also in this matter. It's clear from start to finish, just ask her to accompany you."
Evan definitely didn't want to get along with this man for more than a second, not to mention the emotional entanglement between the two of them before, just to say that the complexity of this matter now, Evan will never get involved.
Ferd was blocked by Evan's words, and he was speechless for a while, and finally he could only smile lightly: "So that's the case, I don't know about this."
He looked at Evan and frowned, he was injured and looked a bit like it.
Mrs. Sanders was really embarrassed to see the scene at this time, and hurriedly interjected.
"Mr. Ferd, don't worry. I will assist you in the investigation of this matter. I also assisted Pastor Bruce before, so you can rest assured."
Facing Mrs. Sanders, Ford couldn't say anything yin and yang, so he could only say warmly: "My dear lady, of course I believe in your ability, then I will trouble you in the future."
After all, Ferd was taught by a gentleman's education, and he didn't dare to say nonsense to a lady.
Mrs. Sanders seemed to be very satisfied with Foulder's modest and polite appearance, and nodded with a smile.
The four of them were sitting together, and three of them were each pregnant. Naturally, this scene would not last long. In the end, Ford winked and didn’t want to entangle any more. It is better to observe and observe first, so he immediately bid farewell.
Of course, Duke Wilson didn't want to keep him any longer. He didn't even do anything superficial. He was sent out immediately. With such unreasonable behavior of the Duke, Mrs. Sanders looked at the Duke in surprise, but there was not much in the end. say what.
Watching their group walk away, the noble and glamorous expression the Duke originally maintained finally sank. He looked at Evan, who was sitting beside him thoughtfully. Some sour asked: "What is your relationship with this Mr. Ferd?"
Evan's thoughts were interrupted. He raised his head and glanced at Duke Wilson, amused by his tangled expression, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Verde was my senior in public school."
"Senior?" Duke Wilson raised his eyebrows: "I look at it but it's not just a senior."
There was a hint of resentment in his tone, which made Evan's heart move, is he still pushing Duke Wilson? Although the duke has a clear affection for him now, this affection is not enough for him to really show his intentions, because in the duke's world, this kind of affection is still filthy and immoral.
Evan hesitated for a while. If he did this, it would be dancing on a tightrope, and he would probably be doomed. But if he succeeded, then the duke would be in his bag, and he could still maintain his purity. 's character.
"Senior Ferde took good care of me when I was in public school." Evan still decided to be conservative first. After all, the Duke is a person of this era, and his ability to accept it still needs to be learned bit by bit. Besides, that matter is also Not a good thing, he must find time to beautify his dark history.
Hearing this, the duke frowned deeper and deeper. He bit his lower lip with a slightly tangled expression.
"I don't think Ferd is a good person." The Duke said suddenly.
Evan was suddenly stunned, and then smiled again: "I can assure you that there is absolutely nothing wrong with Senior Ferd's character. He is a very gentleman."
The Duke heard this, and the sour water in his heart couldn't stop coming out, but he couldn't really show his hideous side in front of Evan. In the end, he could only turn his head in anger and say a word No hair.
Evan looked at the Duke's back, and twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, very good, this matter still needs to be promoted little by little.
At this time when the relationship between the two was delicate, Edward ran downstairs. Evan was seriously injured and hadn't seen Edward in the past few days. Now that he was able to walk a little, the Duke allowed Edward to visit him.
Edward ran straight towards Evan, but when he ran to Evan's side, he stopped carefully, touched the back of Evan's hand, and whispered, "Evan, are you feeling better? ?"
Evan stroked Edward's head with a smile, and said warmly, "Much better, Lord."
Such a simple conversation made Duke Wilson stunned.
Evan? his name
In fact, he has always known about it, but no one has ever called him like this. Now that Duke Wilson has heard such a call, for some reason, he suddenly fluctuated slightly.
Edward listened to this sentence, and then carefully snuggled into Evan's arms, avoiding his gauze-wrapped chest, just lying on his knees, raising his head and looking at Evan without blinking. .
"Evan, you are really brave." Edward looked at Evan almost with admiration.
Evan looked at Edward in surprise, but Duke Wilson coughed lightly at this time and whispered: "I have told Edward about your previous behavior of saving me, he is my heir, and there are still some things to know. "
Evan suddenly realized that the behavior of these nobles to educate people is really predictable. They treat a child as an adult to educate. If there is no accident, this child will either be premature or collapse in the future.
"I see." Evan smiled and looked down at Edward again: "Lord, thank you for your compliment, but I've heard enough compliments in the past few days, and I'm at a loss for what to do."
Edward looked at Evan and showed a soft smile, which was not at all the same as his withdrawn appearance before, but revealed a touch of freshness.
Evan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this child did not grow crooked, otherwise he would be more difficult to deal with than Duke Wilson when he grew up.
"Okay Edward." Duke Wilson suddenly said: "Mr. Reverend can't sit for a long time. It's time for you to have lunch. Come in."
Duke Wilson suddenly finds himself disliking the disruption of his alone time with Evan.
Edward looked at Duke Wilson with a bit of grievance, but he didn't dare to refute a word. He took a step back and followed the maid behind him and left.
Evan watched Edward go upstairs, and then he turned to look at Duke Wilson, and whispered: "Lord Duke, this time Mr. Johnson's matter is too complicated, I want to ask you to help with this matter. , The bishop attaches great importance to the image of the church, and I am afraid that there will be some changes."
Looking at Evan's serious look, Duke Wilson didn't know why, but suddenly felt a little excited. This was the first time he asked himself for something.
Duke Wilson tried his best to restrain the commotion in his heart, cleared his throat in a low voice, and said helplessly: "This matter is so complicated, I'm afraid it's not easy to investigate."
He stole a glance at the frowning Evan, wanting to see how he reacted.
Evan did not expect that Duke Wilson would give him a soft nail. He glanced at Duke Wilson, but saw a hidden expectation in his eyes, and Evan suddenly knew it.
"Lord Duke." Evan's expression was very cautious: "I'm sorry to make such a request, but this matter is too important, if you can't help me, I really don't know who to go to. already."
Evan lowered his head in frustration, but there was a secret smile on the corner of his mouth.
