Guidebook for the Dark Duke Chapter 21: Severe suspicion

Duke Wilson's words were astonishing, not only Evan, but even Dr. Hester was stunned, he stared blankly at the Duke, and his beard was still laughably cocked.

Evan responded quickly, with a cold smile on his face: "The Duke is very right, I really should go back, Mrs. Sanders is not here, the church is very complicated."

Dr. Hester smiled awkwardly: "Yes, yes, it's my fault, so I won't delay your business."

Evan nodded quickly, then turned and left the living room without even looking at the Duke.

Butler Chris dutifully sent him to the door of Cornwall Manor. Evan just wanted to leave, but he didn't want to leave but butler Chris suddenly said, "Pastor Bruce." He was stern and serious: "I hope you will visit Cornwall Manor more in the days to come. Lord Edward enjoys your company very much."

This faithful old butler has devoted his entire life to this manor. His affection for Edward and Duke Wilson is the same as for his grandson and son.

Evan was not in a very good mood at first, and at this time, the near-arrogant words of Butler Chris made him angry.

"Mr Chris, the whole of Derainier is my parishioners, they are all children of the Lord, whether it is Lord Edward or the son of a tenant, they are all the same in my eyes, I will not If you are partial to anyone because of the difference in status, you should say less in the future."

Evan finished these words very coldly, ignoring the surprised butler Chris, and turned to leave Cornwall Manor.

Evan returned to the church. Sheriff Chandler was still waiting in the church. He saw Evan's figure, his eyes lit up, and he immediately stood up and greeted him.

"Oh, my dear Mr. Pastor, why did you come back at this time, I have a happy news for you, this case is now completely solved, the murderer is Mrs. Lawrence, I asked her maid Laura , Mrs. Lawrence had quarreled with little John before, and even hit her cute little John, you say, what an interesting discovery." Sheriff Chandler smiled funny.

Evan's heart is now occupied by Duke Wilson's blunt attitude. Where is the time to pay attention to these, he waved his hand impatiently: "You don't have to tell me this kind of thing, if you have evidence, you Anyone can be put on the gallows."

Sheriff Chandler didn't pay attention to Evan's attitude. He immediately said excitedly: "Do you agree with me too?"

Evan is a little distracted now, not hearing his point at all: "Yes, I agree." Evan now just wants to send the long-winded sheriff away.

Sheriff Chandler is finally satisfied this time. He pats Evan on the shoulder with a smile and turns to leave the church.

Evan sat in the front row of the church, folded his hands and faced Jesus, looking like he was praying, but in fact he was really thinking about today's events quickly in his heart, why did Duke Wilson suddenly drive him away so rudely Where to go? Did Dr. Hester say something? Evan's heart is messed up.

Evan had a very tormented night. While thinking about his behavior these days, he reflected on whether he had a proper place. Before he went upstairs, he was full of confidence that Duke Wilson was I still have a good impression of him, otherwise I wouldn't have reprimanded Chris, who made his own decisions, but things changed after he went downstairs.

During this process, only Dr. Hester spoke to the Duke, so it was definitely what Dr. Hester said that changed the Duke's attitude.

Evan made up his mind in his heart that he must find out what Dr. Hester said.

But before Evan could implement his plan, early the next morning, a huge scandal spread rapidly throughout Derain.

Mrs. Lawrence was arrested by Sheriff Chandler on suspicion of killing her own son, John Lawrence.

It was like the most incredible burlesque, and it caused a huge stir throughout Dranlier, and it was at this time that Evan remembered that the high-profile speech by Sheriff Chandler yesterday afternoon, he The whole person was a little restless.

And at this time, Mrs. Sanders returned.

Mrs. Sanders is no longer as haggard and weak as Evan had last seen her. Her face is pale, but her expression is firm. She is wearing a light gray dress with a wrap around her shoulders. Wearing a cape, Mr. Chandler stood behind her with a worried look on his face.

She looked at Evan, the sadness in her eyes almost overflowing her eyes: "Pastor Bruce, I know you have a very good relationship with Sheriff Chandler, please tell him that I want to see Mrs. Lawrence. , after meeting, I will tell him everything I know, this is very important!"

Evan's eyes could not help but tighten. He had some guesses before. Could it be that Mrs. Sanders really...

"Is your body okay?" Evan asked, pretending not to know.

Mrs. Sanders looked at him, her eyes full of enthusiasm: "Pastor Bruce, you are a noble person and don't want to expose my shame, but I believe you must have guessed me Please go and tell Sheriff Chandler what I said, I just want to see Mrs. Lawrence right now."

Evan opened his mouth in embarrassment, but in the end he found that he couldn't say anything. Mrs. Sanders is a smart person, but unfortunately she thinks herself too well.

"I see, I will make arrangements for you, please wait a moment." Evan left the church after saying that.

On the way to Sheriff Chandler's house, Evan has been thinking about this matter, it seems that his guess has been confirmed, then if it is as he thought, then Mrs. Lawrence's Suspicion is even greater.

This is like a disaster, Evan cursed in his heart, he never thought that a good Mary Sue novel would turn into what it is now.

Sheriff Chandler was impatient with Mrs. Sanders' request. He was busy interrogating Mrs. Lawrence, who had been blaming him. Become Evan, but Sheriff Chandler had to think about it.

"Mr. Pastor, Mrs. Lawrence has been detained by the police now, I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to handle." Sheriff Chandler said with a bitter face.

Evan knew that he didn't want to waste time, so he didn't go around the corner and said directly: "Don't worry, this visit will definitely satisfy you, Mrs. Sanders knows some very important information, you must know. "

Sheriff Chandler's eyes lit up when he heard this, he is now in a dilemma in the interrogation of Mrs. Lawrence, because this lady is like a hoarse madman, using all she can think of All the words cursed myself, and didn't listen to what he said at all.

"Since this is the case, then I think the police can provide appropriate facilities, but also ask Mrs. Sanders to provide some really beneficial information." Sheriff Chandler is really scared by this case now Scared.

Evan smiled: "Of course, trust me, Sheriff, you won't be disappointed."

Sheriff Chandler agreed to this matter smoothly under the coaxing of Evan, but considering Mrs. Sanders' health, the place where they would finally meet was Delan Lille Church.

When Sheriff Chandler brought Mrs. Lawrence out, Evan could hardly believe that the person in front of her was the arrogant Mrs. Lawrence, whose gorgeous clothes were now eclipsed, and her arrogant face She had already become a little neurotic at this point, she was thinner than before, and her high cheekbones made her originally unbeautiful face even more mean.

As soon as she saw Evan, it was like seeing a life-saving straw, and she rushed up and grabbed Evan's hands tightly: "Pastor Bruce, please help me, these thugs accuse me of killing myself My son! That's my little John! How could I have killed him!"

Evan was a little embarrassed, but he didn't pull out his hand, he just calmly said: "Madam, don't worry, if you didn't do this, then no one could send you to the gallows. "

Mrs. Lawrence had panic in her eyes, she didn't believe Evan's nonsense at all, but she didn't have the chance to say more. Sheriff Chandler took her directly into the prisoner's carriage and let her completely disappeared from Evan's sight.

"Pastor Bruce, I'm so sorry, Mrs. Lawrence is really an unreasonable woman." Sheriff Chandler smiled apologetically.

Evan curved his mouth slightly, with a very gentle expression on his face: "You shouldn't say that as a lady, although she may have made a big mistake, she is also God's people, in my eyes All are treated equally.”

"It's very likely?" Sheriff Chandler looked at Evan with some surprise: "Mrs. Lawrence's crime has been settled, Mr. Reverend."

Evan lowered his head, his eyes flashed with uncertainty, and finally said: "Since this is the case, I will not make any judgments until the judge does not judge."

Sheriff Chandler sighed and seemed to be taken aback by Evan's statement: "You are such a kind-hearted person that you will not give up the lost lamb, Mr. Reverend, in the future you will become a of a great pastor."

Evan pursed his lips and smiled. His goal was not just to be a great priest.

Sheriff Chandler and Evan returned to the church in a carriage, and when they entered, the carriage that held Mrs. Lawrence had just arrived.

Mrs. Lawrence had no idea who wanted to see her, but when she saw Mrs. Sanders, she felt like she was hit by something and nearly fell over.

Fortunately, someone behind her supported her, which prevented a tragedy.

"What's wrong with you, my lady?" Mrs. Sanders looked at Mrs. Lawrence coldly, with deep hatred in her eyes.

Mrs. Lawrence was almost speechless. She looked straight at Mrs. Lawrence, as if something had appeared in her mind, and her expression was almost a little terrified.

"Mr. Sheriff." Mrs. Sanders turned her head to look at Sheriff Evan and Chandler. "Would you please leave me a moment to speak to her."
