Guidebook for the Dark Duke Chapter 100: The nun is suspicious

Duke Wilson frowned upon hearing Butler Chris's words: "What the **** is going on?" Colonel Mel, who is considered to be his confidant, is now implicated in the murder, which really makes him a little bit. be surprised.

"I don't know the specifics." Butler Chris's expression also looked a little unsightly: "I just heard that the unfortunate death of Sister Lysa was very close to Colonel Mel. The day Colonel Mel went to visit her, she was found dead in her bedroom, according to reports..." Speaking of which, Butler Chris's expression was slightly loose: "It is reported that her death was very tragic, even our town The most experienced old coroner in the world has a heart."

Duke Wilson's expression was a little solemn when he heard this. Colonel Mel was considered his confidant. If he was really involved in this case, it would be very difficult for him to do it. .

"Okay, I get it. You ask Mel to see me immediately. I have something to tell him." Duke Wilson's expression darkened, it was useless to say anything now, he still had to take precautions early.

Butler Chris led the order to retreat, Evan and Duke Wilson got into the front carriage, and little Edward was carried by the servants and sat in the back carriage.

As soon as I got in the car, Evan couldn't help but said, "Charles, I know this Mother Eliza."

"What?" Duke Wilson looked at Evan with some surprise. Although the nun and the priest belonged to the same church, the nun was Catholic and Evan was an authentic Protestant priest. The two religions were almost like water and fire.

"Have you spoken to her before?" Duke Wilson looked at Evan with some curiosity. He didn't expect that Evan, who has never been close to women, would meet the nun.

Evan couldn't help but let out a wry smile: "No, it's not what you think, I heard Colonel Mel mention this nun before I went to London."

"Mel?" Duke Wilson's frown deepened. What does Mel have to do with this matter: "Does he know this nun?"

Evan sighed, "He doesn't even know the nun."

He then told Duke Wilson what Mel had asked him to do before. The Duke frowned and thought for a long time, and finally said, "Who do you think that mysterious man is? Could it be? Mel himself?"

"I've thought about it before." Evan whispered, "But you know, Colonel Mel thought he was married, and I can't believe he would do such a dishonorable thing. ."

To tell a story under the pretext of a friend, Evan knew very well what it meant in his previous life, but now the poor nun is dead, and on the day Colonel Mel visited her , Such a coincidence undoubtedly aggravated Colonel Mel's suspicion. If he really did it, then it would be too sad.

"You are so naive." Duke Wilson sneered: "Although in your Bible, such behavior is immoral and shameless, but in the eyes of the nobles, it is nothing at all, May Although Er is flexible in mind and can be regarded as self-cultivation, if this kind of thing happens, maybe he will become hot-headed." Thinking of this, the Duke gritted his teeth secretly, if Colonel Mel was really involved in this matter, Then he will be ready.

Evan looked at Duke Wilson thoughtfully, and said no more. He knew very well that someone like Duke Wilson would handle this matter properly.

Duke Wilson's carriage finally stopped in front of Evan's vicarage. Evan was about to go down with his little salute, but was suddenly grabbed by Duke Wilson.

"Aren't you really going to come to Cornwall Manor with me?" He looked at Evan expectantly, and his tone was as gentle as water.

Evan couldn't help his heart skip a beat, only to feel a slight tingling in his fingertips.

"Charles." He stroked his side face with the other hand, and said softly, "You know, Delan Lier is a small place, if you want to see me, you can always. "

Duke Wilson knew the meaning of Evan's words very well, and he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. He lowered his eyes and did not let go of Evan's hand.

Evan couldn't help but smile when he looked at him like this: "I know what you think, and I want to live with you too, but I am still a pastor..." Evan is a little bit a little bit here. Embarrassed he stopped.

But Duke Wilson raised his head abruptly, with a trace of anxiety in his eyes: "Don't be afraid, it's nothing, I will solve this matter, you can rest assured." As he said, he let go Evan's arm, whispered: "Then we will see you tomorrow."

Evan looked at his tightly pursed lips, his heart moved slightly, suddenly lowered his head and kissed his forehead, then immediately turned around and got out of the carriage.

He walked towards his slightly rudimentary hut, his face was as calm as frost, but his heart was secretly excited because of his actions just now, although now is not the best time for them to live together, but he can see this The Duke of Wilson, Evan felt very satisfied.

At this time, Duke Wilson was sitting on the empty carriage, looking a little dull at the direction Evan was going down. He raised his hand and touched his forehead. The hot touch made his palm shrink. For a moment, his lips were so soft, but he was so excited that he couldn't contain himself, and the whole person was like a fire burning inside.

Duke Wilson finally returned to Cornwall Manor in a trance as he listened to the sound of hooves kicking outside the carriage.

Little Edward was carried upstairs by the servants, while Duke Wilson sat in a trance in the empty living room.

After a quarter of an hour, Butler Chris finally walked in and looked at Duke Wilson, who was almost sluggish.

"Lord Duke, Colonel Mel is here." Butler Chris tried to keep his tone in a very gentle range.

Duke Wilson abruptly recovered from his thoughts, and pursed his lips unnaturally, then said, "Let him come to the study on the second floor." After speaking, he turned around and went upstairs.

Butler Chris was a little strange about the Duke's attitude, but he didn't dare to say anything, and turned around and went out to spread the word.

And Duke Wilson quickly adjusted his state in this short period of time. When he heard the knock on the door outside the study, his mood had already recovered most of the time.

"Come in." With Duke Wilson's slightly hoarse voice, Colonel Mel, led by Butler Chris, approached the Duke's study.

It's been nearly a month since the Duke last saw him, but Duke Wilson was still taken aback by the state of Colonel Mel at this time, his pale cheeks, his dejected expression, and his hair. The wisps of silver threads made Duke Wilson unable to believe that the person standing in front of him was actually the well-mannered Colonel Mel.

"What's the matter with you?" Duke Wilson frowned habitually, no matter what he was involved in, Colonel Mel's state was too bad.

"Lord Duke." Colonel Mel saluted the Duke honestly, but his slightly shaking body still showed his weakness: "I'm sorry to see you in this state."

"Don't say that." Duke Wilson didn't bother to talk to him, and said directly: "What is your relationship with that nun?"

"You already know." Colonel Mel twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, without the slightest surprise on his face. Delan Lier was Duke Wilson's territory, and he never expected to deceive Duke Wilson's eyes and ears. .

"Elysa is an old friend of mine, I really can't do something like this happen to her..." Colonel Mel suddenly buried his face in his palm, his tone slightly trembling.

Looking at him like this, Duke Wilson's guess became more and more firm. He paused slightly and said, "Is the man you are talking about who is close to Mother Eliza yourself?" He looked at Mel without giving him any chance of prevarication.

Colonel Mel was a little guilty at the sight of Duke Wilson. He knew that he couldn't lie in front of the Duke. .

"Oh, Lord Duke, you're right, that's me, it's really embarrassing, I didn't expect... I didn't expect..." He replied in a loud voice with a painful expression, and then he became even more gaffe He turned his face to the side before, but Duke Wilson still saw a sparkle in the corner of his eyes.

"You're so confused!" Duke Wilson's voice was stern, and he didn't feel weak because of Colonel Meyer's truth.

"You already have a wife, and the other party is a nun, how can you do such a dishonorable thing!" Duke Wilson was like a irascible lion at this time, stood up from his chair, very anxious walk around.

Colonel Mel's current situation is really dangerous, almost on the edge of a cliff, and I'm afraid that it will be doomed if only one more step is taken.

"Have you told the sheriff investigating this matter?" Duke Wilson asked, turning his head sharply.

Colonel Mel looked at Duke Wilson in confusion and moved his lips slightly: "No."

The Duke's eyes turned cold for a moment, and Colonel Mel saw that something was wrong, and immediately explained: "Lord Duke, it's not that I don't want to tell Sheriff Chandler, it's just that since Eliza died that day, he took me As a suspect, my wife, dear Katrina, who has always been there for me, how can I say these words? In fact, every time Sheriff Chandler comes to me, I want to Just tell him, I love Eliza so much, how can I kill him? But every time I see Katrina's face, I really can't say that."

At this point, Colonel Mayer's expression became even more painful.

But Duke Wilson looked at him with a hint of contempt in his eyes. He had never discovered before that Mel was such a weak person that he couldn't tell the importance of things for the sake of their children's love.

"This matter will be found out sooner or later." Duke Wilson's tone was very cold: "Chandler is not a fool, since he is eyeing you, it means that he has doubts about you, you At this time, you are going to hide him, and you are telling such a stupid lie. Do you think he will let you go easily? What stupid things like an old friend, you have visited her a few times a week, can you not understand Chandler? As long as you know this, will your relationship with her be as secretive as you think?"

Colonel Mel looked at Duke Wilson with a dull look, as if at a loss.

Duke Wilson frowned in disgust, not expecting Mel to be so stupid.

"You can't hide this matter. If you tell him directly, you may be able to restore some of your image in his eyes..."

Duke Wilson's voice was not finished when there was an urgent knock on the door. Duke Wilson stepped forward to open the door, only to see Butler Chris appearing outside the door in a little panic.

"Lord Duke, Sheriff Chandler is here to arrest Colonel Mel!"

Duke Wilson's expression moved slightly, and he turned to look at Mel, only to find that his face was pale.
