Guidebook for the Dark Duke Chapter 11: Get clues

Evan's questioning was like a hammer hitting Dr. Hester's face, his face stiffened for a moment, and then a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face: "You know, come on Regarding the matter of Lord Edward, she dare not face the Duke again."

It was only then that Evan reacted. It turned out that what he did last time actually caused such a series of reactions.

"Isn't anyone sneaking back?" Evan continued to ask.

"Yes, yes, but none of them have anything to do with John, only Arya..." Dr. Hester was almost speechless.

Evan sighed: "Is there really nothing wrong with your estimated time of death?"

Dr. Hester suddenly froze when he heard this, Evan's expression changed, and he immediately asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Dr. Hester hesitated for a moment, and said with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "Actually, at the beginning, I estimated the time to be between ten and eleven, that is, within this period of time after the fireworks display. But..."

"But what?" Evan frowned nervously.

"But when I checked the body at the time, I found that there was a fire in John's house. You know, John died in front of the fireplace. If the indoor temperature is too high, it will affect the change of the body. , so I moved John's death time back an hour based on the lighting of the stove, and this is..." Dr. Hester looked embarrassed and struggling.

Evan took a deep breath when he heard it, frowned and said: "You are too confused, how can you handle such important information so casually, that stove may be left by the murderer to hide the eyes of others. Not sure, you should report it to Sheriff Chandler, let him investigate this, and you're making a decision, aren't you?"

Dr. Hester was ashamed: "I...I just thought..."

"I'm afraid you've read too many mystery novels. Some things are not as simple as they appear on the surface, Dr. Hester, I still recommend that you do a new autopsy, and don't take it so lightly. It's decided." Evan's voice was a little stern.

Dr. Hester seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, and nodded immediately: "You are right, it was my previous error that caused this result, and I will go to Chandler. Sergeant Le to explain."

Evan nodded, but suddenly he thought of another question: "By the way, Dr. Hester." He grabbed the doctor's arm: "I want to ask you, Arya go How did you know about seeing John?"

Hester opened his mouth wide for a moment, stunned for a moment, and finally said: "Yes... Yesterday someone sent an anonymous letter to Sheriff Chandler's house, saying that they saw Arya visit John's house."

Evan's mouth curled slightly when he heard it. Since someone saw it, it means that another person had been to Woodwich Cottage that night.

Dr. Hester left in a hurry, but Evan was completely quiet. This matter is so twisted and bizarre, it seems that there are still big problems.

In the afternoon, Dr. Hester came again. At this time, he was much more relaxed than in the morning. He took Evan's hand almost gratefully and said, "Pastor Bruce, thanks to you I believe that Arya will get rid of this matter as soon as possible.” /

Evan nodded with a smile, and said warmly: "That's good."

Seeing Dr. Hester's relieved look, Evan's expression turned slightly, and then he asked, "Have you found the person who exposed Miss Arya at that time?"

Dr. Hester heard this, and his face suddenly became a little angry: "I really don't know who is so despicable and shameless. Sheriff Chandler also sent the police to look for him, but he couldn't find this person. I guess, it must be This man killed John and then framed poor Arya."

Ignoring Dr. Hester's personal inferences, this man must be a key point in the case, but it is inevitable.

"Don't get excited yet, Alia's matter hasn't been found out yet, don't rush this matter." Evan comforted Dr. Hester for a few words, but he suddenly came up with a solution. Since this matter The matter is so complicated and confusing, why don't he make it a little more complicated.

Evan sent off Dr. Hester, but he himself went to see Sheriff Chandler, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible, the world must be put back on track as soon as possible, or he will not know what happened.

Sheriff Chandler is so busy right now that he doesn't look good when he sees Evan.

"Pastor Bruce, you came at a bad time." Sheriff Hester had a piece of bread in his mouth and a stack of documents in his hand. The police station was very busy, and there was noise everywhere. The meticulous priest's robe has become an anomaly.

Evan took the document in his hand with a smile, and said warmly: "I'm here to find you today for business. I have a way to help you find the person who wrote you an anonymous letter. Would you like to try it?"

Sheriff Chandler could not help frowning: "First, Dr. Hester pretended to be a detective to delay the case, what do you think now?"

Sheriff Chandler's words were a bit ugly, but Evan was surprised when he heard it: "No, it's not a good opinion, it's just my opinion, since this person will send an anonymous letter to expose Miss Arya, I'm afraid that she not only has a grudge against Arya, but she is also involved in this matter, why don't you release Miss Arya temporarily, I'm afraid this person won't be able to sit still."

When Sheriff Chandler heard this, there was a flash of joy in his eyes. He hurriedly took the document in Evan's hand and said with a smile: "My good pastor, sit down."

Evan sat down with a smile. Sheriff Chandler put the documents on the table indiscriminately, but he turned around in the office excitedly: "This method is good, but there are still some hidden dangers."

"Jack!" Sheriff Chandler shouted out of the house.

A 17- or 18-year-old police officer came in: "Are you looking for me?"

"Go to Jim and Pete, you three will follow Miss Arya from today, don't let her out of your sight." Sheriff Chandler commanded resolutely.

Jack looked at the sheriff in confusion: "Isn't that lady in jail?"

Sheriff Chandler patted the officer on the shoulder heavily and said with a smile, "Not now! We're going to let her out."

"Let it out?" The policeman was even more puzzled.

"Okay, don't talk nonsense with me here, go do your business." Sheriff Chandler kicked him, and the little policeman immediately ran away in fright.

Watching the little police officer run out, Sheriff Chandler laughed happily, while Evan watched with some twitches at the corners of his mouth.

After Chief Chandler ordered these things, he turned his head to look at Evan with excitement: "Pastor Bruce, you are really my lucky star, if this thing is successful, I will never forget you help."

Evan just waved his hand when he heard it: "Forget it. I don't want anyone to be wronged to make this decision. I just hope that God will not blame me for my lies."

Sheriff Chandler grabbed Evan's hand and laughed, "Don't worry! You're bringing the bad guys to justice, and God will be grateful to you."

Evan smiled wryly at Sheriff Chandler's words.

This time, Sheriff Chandler personally sent Evan outside the police station. He did not go back until Evan turned the corner.

Evan didn't take the carriage this time. He walked along the town's lane toward his hut. If his guess was correct, he probably already knew who the person who exposed Arya was, but he didn't He couldn't tell what happened to the man either. He just hoped that the plan would work and arrest the man, so that they could really know what happened that night in Woodwich Cottage.

It was already dark when Evan returned to the pastor's cottage, but he found Tom was waiting at the door, saw him coming back from a distance, and hurried over.

"Pastor Bruce, Lord Duke is here!" Tom looked excited.

Evan was a little surprised that Duke Wilson came.
