Guidebook for the Dark Duke

Evan looked at Colonel Mel and didn't speak for a long time. He had never seen so many emotions appearing in one person at the same time. Perhaps a certain nerve in his heart was suddenly touched. , Evan suddenly no longer complained about Colonel Mel's anger before.

"Colonel Mel." Evan's expression instantly softened a lot: "You are so beyond my expectations."

Evan's expression softened, and Sheriff Chandler couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he never found out that Evan would be so terrible, he had never seen him so big fire.

"I know you must be very disappointed with my behavior." Colonel Mel smiled wryly: "Did the Duke ask you to come?"

Evan couldn't help frowning: "The Duke is very worried about your situation, but I was invited by Sheriff Chandler today, can you tell me about this time What happened to you and that nun?"

Colonel Mel listened to Evan asking about this, he couldn't help lowering his head and whispered: "The person I told you last time is me, I think you should already know this. Now you know."

Evan nodded: "When I knew about this, I couldn't even believe my ears, Colonel Mel, are you really crazy? Wife's man, your behavior really made me..." Evan frowned, and the next words could not be said.

Colonel Mel lowered his head and did not dare to look directly into Evan's eyes. He just squeezed his cuffs tightly with both hands, pursed his lips, and said nothing.

Sheriff Chandler stood beside him and waved his hand impatiently.

"Mr. Reverend, you are a noble gentleman. I don't think you can understand his behavior." Having said that, Sheriff Chandler glanced at Colonel Mel, Just betraying his wife made him look down on this person.

Evan pursed his lips a little guilty when he heard this, but his face still had a look of compassion, and said warmly: "Mr. Sheriff, let Colonel Mel speak for himself, He's a decent gentleman, and when I think about where he is today, he shouldn't have anything to hide."

As soon as Evan's voice fell, Evan raised his head, his eyes were slightly red, and his lips trembled slightly at Evan and Sheriff Chandler.

"I really have nothing to hide, what can I give up now?" He seemed to mutter to himself.

"I met Eliza a long time ago." Colonel Mel whispered: "He helped my poor mother out of her pain, and I am very grateful to him." Colonel Mel Said in a kind of raving that was almost sleepwalking, with a faint smile on his face, as if recalling some precious memory.

"The relationship between us didn't change much at that time, she was a very reserved girl." Colonel Mel said warmly: "But I have a kind of feeling towards her because of this incident. Strange feelings, but I know her identity and her beliefs, so I didn't do anything eccentric, but I have been helping her since then, or donating something to the monastery, or expressing gratitude The name gave her something, and she had a very bad time at the convent, I know."

Speaking of this, Colonel Mel seemed to think of some painful memory and put his head in his hands.

Evan frowned at this time. If he remembered correctly, Colonel Mel's wife Katrina married Colonel Mel after Colonel Mel's mother died. In other words, when Colonel Mel married his wife, he actually had feelings for another woman in his heart.

"Pastor Bruce!" Just when Evan was in deep thought, Colonel Mel suddenly raised his head and shouted: "The relationship between me and Eliza is all my fault, and She doesn't matter, I love her, I know my feelings make you all feel bad, but please believe me, I really love her, I love her with all my life, I'd rather die myself I won't kill her, please believe me, this is really... I really didn't do it..."

His eyes were slightly red, but his eyes were very sincere.

Evan couldn't help but froze for a moment, turned his head and glanced at Sheriff Chandler, because of Duke Wilson's sake, of course he was willing to believe that Colonel Mel was innocent, but this matter Not by his will, Sheriff Chandler is the decider of this matter, and Evan is also very clear that for the traditional gentleman of Sheriff Chandler, Colonel Mel's behavior is undoubtedly his most important. Disgusting, because he not only defiled the marriage of the Holy Spirit, but also defiled the purity of religion.

"You don't have to tell us this." Colonel Mayer's words not only did not make Sheriff Chandler sympathize with him, but made him more and more disgusted with him: "Whatever your feelings for Mother Eliza How, all I want to know is whether you have evidence of your innocence, because as far as the current situation is concerned, it is very unfavorable for your situation." Sheriff Chandler said with a slightly indifferent expression.

Colonel Mayer's original excited expression fell into silence after Sheriff Chandler's words, he looked at Sheriff Chandler blankly, as if he could not believe his Indifferent.

"I...I, I really didn't do it. I was going to the convent when Eliza died. How could I kill her?" Colonel Mel's hand trembled slightly , When he said that killing word, the whole person couldn't help but tremble.

Sheriff Chandler looked at him with a very cold expression, as if he was indifferent to his reaction: "This is not your alibi, you need to know the distance from your home to the monastery, even if It's you who walks, starting from the time you leave the house, and it's entirely possible to kill Eliza within the time limit. And!" Sheriff Chandler's voice suddenly increased a bit when he said this: "And in In Mother Eliza's pocket, we found one of your gloves, according to you, you haven't seen Mother Eliza for a month before this, but this glove is one of your gloves from three days ago. I got it from Mrs. Katrina. I want to ask you, what's the matter? And the dagger that killed Eliza was also a victory item that you brought back from the battlefield. You said that you gave it away. It was given to Eliza, but according to your footman, the dagger was still in your drawer three days ago, so what's the matter?"

Sergeant Chandler pressed closer, staring at Colonel Mel with burning eyes, unwilling to let go of any expression on his face.

And Colonel Mel, who had just calmed down, trembled at this time, and he looked sadly at the dagger that Sheriff Chandler put on the table in order to scare her. He is studded with the most beautiful gems in the world, but his blade is stained with the blood of the person he loves most in the world.

"For this, I...I really don't know what to say..." Colonel Mel said with a gloomy expression: "What I said is true, but it will end like this and I also Very surprised, but I can tell you very clearly, I will never kill Mother Eliza, someone is trying to frame me!"

When he said the word framed, Evan suddenly found that Colonel Mel's grief-stricken eyes lit up with fire.

"Yes! Someone is trying to frame me! Mr. Sheriff! This is a conspiracy!" Colonel Meyer suddenly stood up from his chair: "You know I have many enemies, This...this is definitely a conspiracy against me."

Colonel Mel finally got a look in his eyes, and he shouted a little excitedly: "Mr. Sheriff, please believe me!"

For Colonel Mel's excessive behavior, Sheriff Chandler just waved his hand with some contempt: "Colonel Mel, such ridiculous words, I don't want to say it from your mouth, You want to say that this is a conspiracy against you, but in this matter, we have not found the existence of a third person, and there is no evidence for your statement. Do you want me to really believe your statement? From now on, in this case, you are the most suspect."

Colonel Mel sat back in his chair almost in despair.

But Evan said at this time: "Colonel Mel." He glanced at Colonel Mel, as a veteran who has been on the battlefield, his actions today really made Evan I feel a little surprised, can love really change a person into this way? Evan was very suspicious.

"How many people know about Mother Eliza and you?" Not going to choose Mother Eliza.

Evan suddenly asked the question to the point, and Colonel Mel's already slightly desperate eyes finally came to life at this time.

"You believe me." He looked at Evan almost gratefully, but the next moment he was lost in thought.

...Finally..." Colonel Mel's tone suddenly dropped: "In the end, she still couldn't resist love, and we came together. You don't know how happy I was when she responded to me, but you also It should be understood that I love her so much, and I will never let her get into some kind of trouble, so no one knows about it except our hearts and God."

Sheriff Chandler was very interested at first, but when he heard Mel's downplay, he snorted lightly and waved his hand in disdain: "Mel Colonel, I advise you to hurry up and plead guilty, every time you try to show your innocence, it will only make you more suspect."

Evan couldn't help laughing bitterly when he heard this sentence. Sheriff Chandler's words are quite right. No matter what direction the puzzle was solved, in the end, only Colonel Mel himself was left.

"Colonel, it's not easy for a person to hide a thing, let alone such a thing, please think about it carefully these few days, whether you have exposed flaws to anyone, only This is how we can save you, otherwise, I'm afraid I can't do anything." Evan sighed, it seems that this matter is really difficult, the probability that the murderer is Colonel Mel is now very high, this time I'm afraid Duke Wilson Getting angry.

Colonel Mel nodded, looking a little sluggish.

Sheriff Chandler couldn't ask anything, so he let Colonel Mel go down, but he was muttering in his heart, this person is already like this, and he is still so invisible , didn't ask anything useful, just kept shouting grievances, but this time Sheriff Chandler was very confident that Colonel Mel was definitely a murderer!
