Guidebook for the Dark Duke Chapter 101: Investigation cases

"Arrest?" Duke Wilson raised his tone: "What kind of evidence does he have? Why did he suddenly arrest Colonel Mel?" Duke Wilson frowned at Butler Chris.

Butler Chris grinned in embarrassment and said in a low voice: "This... I don't know, but Sheriff Chandler looks very sure, and I..."

Duke Wilson frowned and waved: "Let him in."

Chandler was arrested at his house, I don't know if he was too sure or looked down on himself.

A moment later, Sheriff Chandler followed Butler Chris in. He looked cautious, but looked at Colonel Mel with sharp eyes.

"Lord Duke." He nodded slightly: "I'm bothering you."

Duke Wilson looked at him indifferently: "I heard you came to arrest Mel, what did he do wrong?"

"I think you heard about the murder in town from Colonel Mel, right?" Sheriff Chandler was not frightened by Duke Wilson's serious expression, but said very rationally: "I have always been very suspicious of Colonel Mel's innocence before, and just now, I found out that the relationship between Colonel Mel and Mother Eliza is not as simple as he said, so I want to invite Colonel Mel to the police. Let's talk about this."

What Sheriff Chandler said was justified. Duke Wilson didn't know how to refute it for a while. He looked at Colonel Mel's words with hatred, and his emotions were very complicated.

"If that's the case, then you can follow Sheriff Chandler." Facing Colonel Mel, who looked terrified, Duke Wilson said indifferently: "If you are innocent, I am also very I hope you can clear your suspicions as soon as possible." When he said these words, his expression was meaningful.

Colonel Mel nodded stiffly, panic-stricken.

Sheriff Chandler did not expect Duke Wilson to speak so easily, and his expression flashed with surprise.

"Thank you very much for your accommodation." Sheriff Chandler nodded at the Duke and said warmly.

Duke Wilson waved his hand impatiently, but said nothing.

Sheriff Chandler left with Colonel Mel, but Duke Wilson's face sank all of a sudden. Colonel Mel, as his confidant, turned out to be a murder on the first day he came back The suspect in the case, no matter what the final truth is, for the current Duke Wilson, it will make him look very ugly, not to mention in the small village of Delanlier, if Duke Wilson guesses correctly, no. This evening, I am afraid that the whole village will know. Thinking of this, Duke Wilson's face becomes more and more ugly.

Duke Wilson's predictions were not wrong at all. Evan heard about it later in the day, when he was doing his last prayers at the altar, and Mrs. Sanders happened to be coming in from outside. , with a touch of forbearance on his face.

"What's wrong with you?" Evan asked with some confusion.

Mrs. Sanders' lips trembled slightly before she said, "Colonel Mel has been arrested."

If it was someone else who didn't understand this sentence without beginning or end, Evan immediately understood what she meant, frowned and said, "So soon?"

Seeing that Evan suddenly understood a little bit of herself, Mrs. Sanders was a little surprised: "Do you already know about this?"

Evan nodded: "Butler Chris said it when he was at the station." He couldn't wait for Mrs. Sanders to say anything, and immediately asked eagerly: "What happened? Why was May arrested suddenly? Colonel?"

Mrs. Sanders couldn't help sighing: "You have heard of such a terrible thing. It's really a shameful thing for the church, even if it's a Catholic church thing..." Sanders Mrs. Si still couldn't help sighing, and then continued: "I heard Simon, who works at the police station, say that a little nun went to the police station today and reported Mother Eliza and May to Sheriff Chandler. Colonel Meyer's unusual relationship led to Colonel Meyer's arrest of Colonel Meyer."

Evan couldn't help frowning, not thinking that the friend in Colonel Mel's story was really himself.

"What did Lord Wilson say?" The relationship between Colonel Mel and Duke Wilson is well known. If such a thing happened to Colonel Mel, Duke Wilson could not be unresponsive.

"Oh, this is really dramatic." Mrs. Sanders finally showed an expression on her originally indifferent face, and said with a little excitement: "Colonel Mel was arrested at Cornwall Manor, In front of Duke Wilson, this is so bold, I can't imagine Duke Wilson's expression now, a noble gentleman like him, encountering such a thing..." Mrs. Sanders sighed with sympathy.

Evan couldn't help frowning. Sheriff Chandler was too ruthless to do things in front of him...

"I see." Evan said calmly: "Please prepare a carriage for me, I'm going to Cornwall Manor."

Mrs. Sanders was stunned for a moment, then nodded with some understanding: "Oh, you are a friend of Lord Wilson. At this time, I think Lord Duke should be in great need of a friend's company."

Mrs. Sanders hurriedly went out to prepare the carriage, while Evan returned to his living room and changed his priest's robe, but his face was still ugly. He knew very well the character of Duke Wilson. He was a self-respecting man. A very strong person, when such a thing happens, I am afraid that he will be more anxious than Colonel Mel himself, and now this kind of scene, the most taboo is to be anxious, he is afraid that Duke Wilson will make things more difficult to handle.

When Evan came out, the carriage was ready, and Mrs. Sanders was standing at the door waiting for him. Evan didn't say much, just got on the carriage in silence and ran towards Cornwall Manor.

When Evan arrived at the Cornwall Manor, it was already dark, and the door of the manor was tightly closed, which looked a little gloomy. Evan got off the carriage and went to the door to slap hard. Pat the door. In the past, it was daytime when he came, and the door was not closed.

After a long time, a voice finally came from inside: "Who is it?" It sounded very immature, with a slight tremor.

Evan said solemnly: "I am Pastor Bruce, please report to the Duke, I have something to discuss with him."

Hearing Evan's voice, the people inside were obviously relieved: "It turned out to be you, please wait a moment, I will report to the Duke immediately."

Because Evan often goes in and out of the manor, the whole manor is very familiar with him, and they all know that the relationship between him and the duke is very close, so Evan did not wait long before the door opened.

"Mr. Pastor." The person who didn't expect to come was actually Butler Chris, and Evan's face flashed a hint of surprise.

"It's great that you can come." Butler Chris had a sincere smile on his face: "The Duke is in the study at this time, no one is allowed to disturb, and there is no dinner, maybe only you can Persuade him."

Evan's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this, but his brows were furrowed. The Duke was so angry that it seemed that he was really dissatisfied with this matter.

"I see, thank you." Evan pursed his lips and looked very serious.

Butler Chris led Evan through most of the manor and into the castle. Only half of the lights in the hall were lit, so it looked a little dim. Evan went upstairs with the dim light. The door of the study stopped.

Butler Chris gave Evan an embarrassed look and whispered, "Please persuade the Duke, he doesn't listen to us now."

Evan nodded, and Butler Chris also left very acquainted.

When Butler Chris disappeared at the corner of the stairs, Evan whispered: "Charles, it's me."

Just this sentence, there was a sudden noise in the originally silent room, and then the closed door in front of Evan suddenly opened.

"Are you here?" Duke Wilson looked tired, but looked at Evan with a twinkle in his eyes.

"I heard about Colonel Mel, so I came here." Evan said with a smile.

Listening to Evan talking about this, Duke Wilson's originally excited eyes dimmed immediately, and he waved his hand impatiently: "I really didn't expect that Mel would be such a stupid thing, really..." As long as Duke Wilson trembled with anger at the thought that he would be the talk of the entire Derainier.

Evan didn't want to see him like this, so he walked in with a smile, closed the door, and then reached out and hugged him into his arms.

Such a simple action made Duke Wilson's body completely stiff in an instant. He seemed to be frightened and looked at Evan in a daze. When he reacted, he hugged Evan tightly. Waist, whispered: "You are here, it's really good."

Evan patted him on the back with a smile, and said in a low voice, "Don't think too much, Colonel Mel is inseparable from you, but people in the town will not and dare not slander them. Your reputation, this matter will pass, don't worry."

Duke Wilson couldn't help sighing when he heard this. Evan was still too naive. He didn't know the power of rumors, let alone the role Colonel Mel played by his side. Needless to say, although he also cares, he doesn't care too much. The most important thing is what Colonel Mel has done for him. Since his father, the relationship between Colonel Mel and the Christ family has been Very close, but he was not able to amass so much wealth in a short period of time.

Duke Wilson's face leaning on Evan's shoulder flashed a hint of wickedness. The reason why Colonel Mel was able to make a fortune so quickly was because he did a lot of dirty things in private for his father and for him. Whether it is spying on intelligence or dealing with traitors, Colonel Mel seems to have a unique talent for this kind of thing. He has grown from a soldier to the present because of Duke Wilson's father's discernment.

This time the incident is small, but if it was really what Colonel Mel did, then in order to save his life, I am afraid that these things would also be dangerous. Duke Wilson couldn't help clenching his fists. It's a problem for him. Now that he doesn't know anything, he must try his best to save Colonel Mel's life. Otherwise, if the key is pulled out of these things, I'm afraid his face will be even more ugly than it is now. And over there in London...

Duke Wilson's expression was obscure, but when he raised his head to look at Evan, his eyes returned to a gentle look, and whispered: "I know, with you here, this matter will definitely be investigated. Clearly." He hated using Evan very much, but at this moment he had to do it, because he couldn't let Evan know that he was another version of himself.

Duke Wilson's expression is firm and calm.
