Guidebook for the Dark Duke

Chapter 49: Birthday party

Views:

Evan walked into the castle with Duke Wilson and Colonel Mel. As soon as he entered the hall, Evan saw Sheriff Chandler in high spirits at a glance.

He swept away the haze before. At this time, Sheriff Chandler was a little unusually happy. He saw Evan walking in at a glance, and hurriedly walked over from the crowd.

"Lord Duke, Pastor Bruce." He smiled and saluted Duke Wilson, who was walking in the front, but his eyes were even more excited when he looked at Evan.

Duke Wilson glanced at Sheriff Chandler annoyed, but with Evan around, he didn't dare to act rashly, he could only glance at Evan and didn't say much.

Evan pursed his lips slightly. Sheriff Chandler is so understanding. He is so excited that it seems that the case has already got a clue.

"Mr. Sheriff, I didn't expect to see you here." Evan smiled mildly and reservedly.

Sheriff Chandler didn't notice Evan's attitude, and continued to reply excitedly: "Colonel Mel also invited me over, how is your health?"

Evan nodded at Duke Wilson on the side, indicating that he was fine. Duke Wilson left by himself because he was still entertaining. When the Duke left, Evan said: "Thank you for your concern, my body has recovered. It's almost there."

It was not easy for Sheriff Chandler to ask such a greeting. After hearing Evan's reply, he immediately turned the subject to the point.

"Pastor Bruce, did you know? The previous newspaper's search for witnesses has gone down."

He looked at Evan excitedly, as if waiting for Evan's question.

Evan sighed helplessly, it seems that Sheriff Chandler will not give up today until he achieves his goal.

"Oh, God bless, I really congratulate you, but I don't know how it turned out?" Evan pretended to be surprised and asked immediately.

Sheriff Chandler's interest was finally satisfied, so he stopped hanging Evan's appetite, and immediately replied: "Didn't it say that Rael went to the theater before? A lady came to the police station a few days ago and said that she I saw Rael smoking in front of the theatre between operas, exactly what Rael said."

After saying this, he looked at Evan with some interest, as if waiting for Evan's praise.

Evan laughed secretly in his heart, sometimes the Chandler Sheriff is quite interesting.

"Miss? Who is it? Do I know him?" Evan asked suddenly.

Sheriff Chandler was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Evan to ask such a question.

"It's Miss Blair, she's an old girl, you should have seen her."

Sheriff Chandler said this, and Evan suddenly remembered the young lady who had a terrible voice with her throat tucked when she preached for the first time. Evan's eyelids couldn't help shaking. Not a good impression on Evan.

"So that's the case, then, does that mean that Mr. Rael is out of suspicion?" Evan said in a low voice, looking still.

Speaking of this Sheriff Chandler's expression couldn't help but dim a bit: "Yes, although it is a little different from what I originally expected, Mr. Rael is indeed innocent, and he did not have the time to commit the crime."

Evan lowered his eyebrows, pinched his cuff, and said nothing.

Sheriff Chandler regained his energy again in a flash, he let out a long breath, and said with a smile: "But even so, it can be regarded as a relief from the current predicament, but I still can't release him for the time being, he and Johnson Regarding the matter of Mr., I'm afraid there will be more grinding."

When he said this, there was a trace of disdain in his eyes, and Evan felt a shiver in his heart, and suddenly remembered one thing. In this era, homosexual love is still a crime, which made Evan's heart a little vigilant. The matter of Mr. Wilson must not be exposed.

Evan twitched his lips slightly, and did not comment on this matter anymore. As a religious person, he is also known for his benevolence and kindness. This matter is really dangerous.

Sheriff Chandler's mind was not so delicate. He didn't realize that it was wrong to talk about this matter with a religious person, and continued: "Since Mr. Rael has ruled out the suspect, then Mrs. Johnson is the most important thing in this matter. The suspect, although I don't want to admit it, but at this time, I really have no choice but to talk to Mrs. Johnson."

Sheriff Chandler made a sigh, but Evan couldn't help snickering. Sheriff Chandler, as the most standard man of this era, would never know that an angry woman would do something.

Evan did not entangle with Sheriff Chandler any more on this matter. Although there were still some doubts in his heart that had not been resolved, this scene at this time was not suitable for discussing these things.

Evan walked into the crowd with Sheriff Chandler. He chatted with the people around him. These people hadn't seen Evan for a long time. There were still many greetings. A small town priest was seriously injured. This is definitely not the case. A small problem, as early as the first day that Evan lived in Cornwall Manor, the news spread all over Delan Lier, but these people did not know the deeper darkness of the attack.

Evan responded appropriately to the greetings of the people around him. He was very clear in his heart that these people may only care a small part of him. These people are more concerned about the relationship between him and Duke Wilson. Being able to live in Cornwall Er Manor, this definitely belongs to the range of the Duke's close friends.

Of course Evan would not miss such a good opportunity. When outsiders greeted him, he intentionally or unintentionally used understated language to exaggerate the relationship between himself and the duke. Although it sounds very common, these people are all this The upper-class people in society naturally think more, and the eyes of the people around him have changed for a while.

Evan just pretended that he didn't notice these sights, he picked up the champagne on the table and took a sip.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind Evan: "Evan!"

Evan turned around almost as a reflex, Duke Wilson, Colonel Mel, and a lady were standing not far away.

Duke Wilson called out Evan's name. This behavior was equivalent to a sworn relationship, which made the people around him no longer have any doubts about the close relationship with Evan and Duke Wilson.

Evan slightly hooked the corner of his mouth, it was really timely.

"Charles." Evan nodded towards Duke Wilson with a smile.

Evan's words have already been spoken, and the surrounding people gasped for air, and he could hear the duke's name from a mouth, which was a shock to everyone.

The expression on Duke Wilson's face softened for a moment, and when he walked to Evan's side, he calmly took the champagne in his hand and put it in the same place, saying warmly, "Colonel Mel's wife wants to have a relationship with Evan. you talk."

Evan's vanity was really at the peak at this time, but he tried his best to restrain the corner of his mouth that he wanted to raise, and nodded like an ordinary nod: "Okay."

Then the two of them left the noisy crowd and walked in the direction of Colonel Mel.

Colonel Mel, because of his identity, Evan also knew before. He had a wife before the war, but because of the war, he left for five or six years. When he came back, his wife had long been Melancholy died, so Colonel Mel also lived a life of a widower.

However, due to his sufficient property and social status, as well as his close relationship with the Duke's family, his widower life was not peaceful, and many people were staring at him as a piece of fat. It became very popular, and many families with unmarried daughters were the first to invite Colonel Mel to hold a banquet.

In this era, although the daughters of gentlemen's families have a very good name, due to the issue of inheritance rights, many girls can get very limited dowries. For this reason, some gentlemen who are rich but do not have an advantage in age have become the first choice.

Colonel Mel is such a person, but it is strange that he was not dazed by such a crazy chase. He was very calm and walked around under the explicit hints of the gentlemen, but he did not spit to accept a certain lady.

His behavior made many people give up their expectations of him, but at this time, Colonel Mel suddenly got married. It was at this time last year that Colonel Mel married a teacher's daughter and fell below the A bunch of people's glasses.

Evan looked at the Mrs. Mel in front of her. She was not very beautiful, but she looked very comfortable, with a gentle smile and a serene expression. Even wearing a London haute couture evening dress, she seemed to be wearing the most ordinary homely clothes. The skirt, even Evan, gave birth to a bit of comfort when facing her.

"Hello, my wife." Evan nodded slightly, and the etiquette was in place.

Mrs. Mel pursed her lips slightly, with a hint of shyness in her smile: "Mr. Pastor, you don't have to be so polite."

Evan smiled and didn't answer, but Colonel Mel on the side smiled and said: "Pastor Bruce, Susan has always been a devout Christian. She has heard of your reputation long ago, and she really wants to be right this time. You speak your heart out and seek God's guidance."

Evan's expression changed, it turned out to be so, it is naturally good to be able to develop believers, and Evan has not forgotten his own work for the time being.

"The door of Derain's Church is always open for you, my dear lady." Evan whispered with a smile in his eyes.

Mrs. Mel was relieved to see that Evan was so approachable. This was her job as Mrs. Mel.

Now that the two have discussed this issue, Duke Wilson couldn't help but interject: "Evan, your body can't stand for a long time, why don't you go over there and take a rest."

Duke Wilson moved towards the chair in the corner and lifted it down. Evan also felt that his energy was a little lacking, but Colonel Mel was still standing here. The Duke could say this, but he couldn't answer it, so he pressed the button. The forehead whispered: "It doesn't matter."

Colonel Mel is a person who can wink very well. The relationship between these two people is not ordinary. Of course, he will not be a disappointment. He immediately said: "It's all my fault. I didn't take care of your condition. Rest first, if you are tired, it will be the loss of the entire Derainier."

Evan smiled reluctantly. Colonel Mel looked kind, but he didn't expect to be able to speak like this.

"Then please forgive me."

Evan couldn't hold it anymore, and walked towards the corner with Duke Wilson.
