Guidebook for the Dark Duke

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

    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.

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

    Duke Wilson glanced at Sheriff Chandler with a bit of annoyance, but he didn't dare to act rashly when Evan was there, 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, 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 did not 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, and when the Duke left, Evan said: "Thank you My body has almost recovered."

    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 that? The previous newspaper's search for witnesses has already fallen."

    He looked at Evan with excitement, 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, congratulations to you, but I don't know what the result is?" 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 you say that Rael went to the theater? A few days ago, there was a The lady came to the police station and said that she had seen Rael smoking in front of the theater between operas, which was exactly what Rael said."

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

    Evan sneered in his heart, sometimes this Sheriff Chandler is quite interesting.

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

     Sheriff Chandler was slightly stunned, he did not expect Evan to ask such a question.

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

    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 bear it. After shaking, this young lady gave Evan a bad impression.

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

    Speaking of this Sheriff Chandler's look could not help but dim a bit: "Yes, although it is a little different from what I originally expected, but Mr. Rael is indeed innocent, and he has no time to commit the crime. ."

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

    Sheriff Chandler regained his strength 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 temporarily Still can't release him, his affairs with Mr. Johnson, I'm afraid there will be more grinding."

      There is a bit of vigilance in my heart, and the matter between him and Mr. Wilson must not be exposed.

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

    Sheriff Chandler's mind was not so delicate, he didn't realize it was wrong to talk about this matter with a religious person, and continued: "Since Mr. Rael has ruled out the suspicion, Then Mrs. Johnson is the biggest suspect in this matter, although I don't want to admit it, but at this time, I really have nowhere to go, and it seems that I have to talk to Mrs. Johnson."

     Sheriff Chandler made a sigh, but Evan couldn't help but snicker. Sheriff Chandler, as the most standard man of this era, would never Know what an angry woman can do.

    Evan did not entangle with Sheriff Chandler on this matter anymore, although he still had some doubts in his heart that had not been resolved, but this scene at this time was not suitable for discuss these things.

    Evan walked into the crowd with Sheriff Chandler. He greeted the people around him. These people have not seen Evan for a long time. The small town priest was seriously injured. This is definitely not a small problem. As early as the first day that Evan moved into the Cornwall Manor, the news spread throughout Derain, but these people did not know that the attack was carried out. Deeper darkness.

    Evan responded appropriately to the greetings of the people around him. He knew very well 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 Manor is definitely within the scope 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 render the relationship between himself and the duke, although it sounded very It's normal, but these people are the upper-class people in this society, so naturally they think more, and the eyes of the people around him have changed for a while.

    Evan just pretended 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 conditioned 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 people around him no longer have any doubts about the intimate relationship between Evan and Duke Wilson.

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

    "Charles." Evan smiled and nodded towards Duke Wilson.

    Evan's words have been exported, and the surrounding people gasped in a breath of cold air. He could hear the Duke's name from a mouth, which was a shock to anyone.

    The expression on Duke Wilson's face softened for a moment, and when he walked to Evan's side, he quietly took the champagne in his hand, put it in its place, and said warmly: " Colonel Mayer's wife wants to talk to you."

    Evan's vanity really rose to 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 towards Colonel Mel.

    Colonel Mel, because of his identity, Evan also knew before that he had a wife before the war, but because of the war, he left for five or six years, waiting for him to come back By the time his wife had died of depression, Colonel Mel also lived as a widower.

    But due to his ample property and social status, as well as his close relationship with the Duke's family, his widower life is not peaceful, many people are staring at his fat, Colonel Mel's For a while, the price became very popular in Delan Lier. Many families with unmarried daughters were the first to invite Colonel Mel to hold a banquet.

    Although the daughter of a gentleman in this era has a very good name, but due to the issue of inheritance rights, many girls can get very limited dowry. For this reason, some rich but not dominant in age Gentlemen became 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. At this time last year, Colonel Mel married a The daughter of a teacher, fell through the glasses of a lot of people.

    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 in a London haute couture evening dress, It is also like wearing the most ordinary homely dress, even Evan, when facing her, also gave birth to a bit of comfort.

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

    Mrs. Meier hooked her lips slightly, and her smile was a little shy: "Mr. Pastor, you don't have to be so polite."

    Evan smiled and didn't answer, but Colonel Mel smiled and said: "Pastor Bruce, Susan has always been a devout Christian, and she has heard of your reputation long ago. , she really wants to confide in you this time and seek God's guidance."

    Evan's expression changed, so it turns out, 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 Evan so approachable. This is her own job as Mrs. Mel.

    Since 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 there and rest."

    Duke Wilson moved towards the corner chair and lifted it down, Evan also felt a little lack of energy, but Colonel Mel was still standing here, the Duke can say this, but he I couldn't answer, so I pressed my forehead and said in a low voice, "It's okay."

      Taking care of your condition, you should rest first, if you are tired, it will be the loss of the entire Derain."

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

    "Then I'm sorry."

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