What Duke Wilson said, Evan knew very well that if there were no other circumstances, he could not easily refuse. Evan looked at Duke Wilson, who looked calm on the surface, but was actually very nervous. He chuckled lightly: "Then I'll trouble you."
Duke Wilson then secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "You are too polite. For our friendship, this matter is nothing."
Evan returned to Cornwall Manor with Duke Wilson. Butler Chris had already prepared dinner. Evan looked at it, and it was for two people.
Evan glanced at Butler Chris, and he was indeed Duke Wilson's confidant. I am afraid that the person who knows the Duke best in the world is this unremarkable butler.
The dinner was very rich, and even a few fish caught by the Duke were boiled into a delicious fish soup.
Evan sat opposite Duke Wilson, chatting and laughing with Pastor Robert beside him. Although Duke Wilson had been silent, he would look at Evan from time to time, and the mood in his eyes was slightly gloomy.
After supper, the confused Pastor Robert was helped upstairs to rest, while Evan and Duke Wilson were sitting in the living room, talking about the past few days.
Duke Wilson was very dissatisfied with the events of the past few days, and spoke with a bit of sarcasm.
"After this incident, this venerable Mr. Verde should be quiet for a few days."
Evan pursed his lips and smiled: "Folder is a smart person. Although he did such a thing this time, he should not take action again."
Evan's affirmation of Ferd made Duke Wilson a little dissatisfied, but he couldn't say anything more, and in the end he could only smile slightly sarcastically.
After that, there was a very awkward silence between the two. Duke Wilson looked at Evan sitting in the dim light. His light blue eyes had a strange brilliance at this time. Duke Wilson's lips suddenly became dry.
Evan has been observing Duke Wilson with his peripheral vision. He noticed that his eyes have been staying on himself, and he couldn't help but smile in his heart.
Suddenly, Evan raised his head suddenly, Duke Wilson's eyes had no time to avoid, and the heat in his eyes was completely seen by Evan.
"Duke... Your Excellency?" Evan looked at Duke Wilson with some doubts.
Duke Wilson's heart was extremely broken at this time. He almost didn't dare to look at Evan's clear eyes. He avoided Evan's eyes in a panic, and said in a stammering tone: "I... I'm a little tired. ,have a rest."
Evan looked at Duke Wilson, his handsome profile was slightly red, and his eyes were full of panic, which seemed to be different from the usual calm and self-controlled Duke.
"Okay." Evan replied calmly.
Duke Wilson stood up quickly, turned around and left.
Watching the Duke go to the second floor, Evan just stood up. Although this night's stay was destined to be nothing, but for some reason, Evan suddenly felt as if a warm current had been injected into his heart, with the warmth of spring. The breath made him soothe a lot.
This night was the most solid night he had slept since he left Cornwall Manor.
Early the next morning, Duke Wilson did not appear at the dining table. Evan thoughtfully looked at the vacant seat opposite him, his eyes flickering slightly. I don't want to face it.
In the end, Butler Chris personally sent Evan back to the church. When they parted, Butler Chris looked at Evan with a hesitant expression on his face. Evan looked calm, as if he didn't know anything. In the end, Butler Chris He just sighed deeply, turned around and got into the carriage and left.
Soon after Evan returned to the church, the church gradually became lively. Yesterday's big drama caused a sensation in the entire Delan Lier, especially the poor Pastor Bruce, who received such grievances, which made these thoughts pure and simple. The people in the church are very guilty, so even if today is not a Sunday, these people rushed to the church, deeply apologized to Evan, and asked Evan's forgiveness.
Of course, Evan has to forgive these people. No matter how disdainful he is in his heart, he will not put himself on the opposite side of most people, especially now, for these people, he is still a kind and noble character.
After dealing with these people, it was getting late. Evan wanted to go home and sleep peacefully, but Sheriff Chandler ran over with a slap in the face, with a look of horror on his face.
"Pastor Bruce!" His tie was torn and he was gasping for breath.
"Pastor Bruce!" He held Evan's hand: "I really… really… "
"What's the matter?" Evan asked with a frown, seeing that he couldn't get to the point for a long time.
"Oh! This is a disaster." Sheriff Chandler hugged his head in pain and said, "Mrs. Johnson just committed suicide in prison!"
"What?" Evan's eyes widened instantly: "Mrs. Johnson is dead?"
Seeing Evan's reaction so big, Sheriff Chandler quickly waved his hand: "No, no, don't get excited. She didn't succeed. She was rescued by the police later."
"Oh..." Evan breathed a sigh of relief, but his frowning brows did not come down.
"What's going on?" Evan asked in a low voice.
Sheriff Chandler also looked a little guilty at this time, and whispered: "It's all my fault, I always thought that Mrs. Johnson was definitely the mastermind of this matter, so I was indifferent to her protest, but I didn't expect that she would would act like this for the sake of it.”
"Protest?" Evan frowned, and for some reason, Rael's slightly exaggerated face suddenly appeared in his heart.
"What did Mrs. Johnson protest against?" Evan picked up his previous doubts at this time, and he had a hunch that this matter would not be so simple.
"Ah..." Sheriff Chandler sighed with some shame: "Mrs. Johnson kept saying that when she went back, she didn't see Mr. Johnson. I never believed it before, but this morning, a homeless man suddenly Barged into the police station and he told me that on the day Mr. Johnson died, during the period when Mrs. Johnson disappeared, he had seen Mr. Johnson, with a woman who could not see his face, and they were together Back at Mr Johnson's house."
"Homeless?" Evan was a little puzzled, these witnesses must have appeared too timely.
When Evan mentioned this, the look on Sheriff Chandler's face became even more ashamed: "Oh, it's all my fault, the news of finding evidence was published before, but it was withdrawn the day after Miss Blair appeared, Johnson Madam was very dissatisfied, so she found a lawyer, and paid for herself to publish the notice, which is what attracted this homeless man."
"Is there a monetary reason?" Evan asked.
"I thought about this before, but unfortunately there is evidence for this homeless man. At that time, in order to get rid of the homeless entanglement, Mr. Johnson gave him a large amount of coins, one of which was a cufflink that Mr. Johnson accidentally dropped. Johnson's initials are also engraved on it." Sheriff Chandler said with great chagrin.
Evan raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this. It seemed to be true. It was really interesting. It was hard to find evidence this morning, but Mrs. Johnson committed suicide at this time. This woman's scheming is really terrible. Now speaking, I'm afraid that all the public opinion will be on the side of sympathy for her, and Sheriff Chandler who caused this incident to happen, I'm afraid that his reputation is also in danger.
Evan looked at Sheriff Chandler, but he didn't realize that the danger was approaching. He secretly groaned in his heart. I am afraid that the most comfortable life in this world is Sheriff Chandler, a heartless person who never cares. , and it never counts.
"Mr. Sheriff." Evan's expression instantly became solemn, Sheriff Chandler was his friend, and he couldn't watch the sheriff really be destroyed: "The matter has become very serious now. "
Sheriff Chandler looked at Evan with some surprise: "But Mrs. Johnson has been rescued..." He murmured.
Evan gritted his teeth, and he really didn't realize it at all: "Although she was rescued, your situation is very difficult."
Sheriff Chandler was a little stunned. He thought about it, but he still couldn't understand: "This matter is my negligence, and I will be responsible for my negligence."
Evan couldn't help sighing: "If this matter develops according to the current state of affairs, I'm afraid you won't be responsible. I'm afraid it's hard to say whether you can keep your position."
Sheriff Chandler looked at Evan in surprise: "This... how is this possible... "
Evan is really a little sympathetic to himself now. Although Sheriff Chandler is still a little smart in handling cases, he is too far behind in dealing with others.
"Mrs. Sheriff, Mrs. Johnson is not a simple lady, she chose to kill herself today, haven't you wondered why? Now that she has escaped the charge of murder, how do you think she will deal with you?" Evan was almost It has been said frankly.
Sheriff Chandler's face finally changed at this time: "This... This is really... "
Sheriff Chandler was an old-fashioned gentleman, and he never imagined that a woman could be so dangerous.
"Okay." Evan sighed: "Mr. Sheriff, if you want to keep your position now, break this case as soon as possible, otherwise there will be consequences, I can't imagine myself."
Speaking of this Sheriff Chandler, he couldn't help but feel a little dejected: "Oh, I also want to solve this case as soon as possible, but now Mrs. Johnson, who is the most suspected, has been freed from the suspicion, and that kid Rael has an alibi, Even if I want to solve the case, it is very difficult!"
Listening to Sheriff Chandler's complaints, Evan's expression changed, and finally he asked tentatively, "Have you investigated Mr. Rael again?"
Sheriff Chandler raised his eyebrows: "Of course I have investigated, but that kid Rael is too slick, and I can't ask anything useful, but my wife met Miss Blair a few days ago, you don't know, This Miss Blair has been so beautiful these days, and my wife told me that it looks like Miss Blair is going to leave here and get married."
Speaking of this, Sheriff Chandler couldn't help laughing. Almost everyone in Delan Lier knew that Miss Blair would never get married in her life.
Evan was moved by Sheriff Chandler's words. He almost couldn't help but immediately asked, "Why did your wife say this? Is there any evidence?"
Sheriff Chandler was taken aback by Evan's question, and murmured: "Evidence? I don't know this, but I just heard that Miss Blair is preparing to sell her house in recent days. Everyone in the town knows. It was left to Miss Blair by Mr. Blair, who has always treasured her property..."
Sheriff Chandler's last words, Evan, didn't listen to a word, but the doubts in his heart were suddenly cleared up, and this matter was so obvious in front of him now.
