Guidebook for the Dark Duke

Chapter 105: different minds

After interrogating Colonel Mel, Sheriff Chandler sent Evan out of the police station. Before Evan was about to leave, Sheriff Chandler suddenly stopped Evan.

"Pastor Bruce." At this time, his expression was very serious, and he looked almost serious.

"Do you know why I want you to interrogate this case?" He looked straight at Evan with a confused expression.

Evan was stunned for a moment, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I am very grateful that you value me."

Sheriff Chandler twitched the corners of his mouth uncomfortably after hearing what he said, but in the end he just sighed and said in a low voice, "I am very grateful for your help to me."

He let go of Evan's sleeve and said nothing.

Evan glanced at Sheriff Chandler with some doubts, but finally turned and left.

Sheriff Chandler watched Evan walk away, and his expression suddenly became a little complicated. Although he had mastered most of the evidence in this case, after experiencing the first two cases, he found that He can no longer face other cases with the same mentality as before. Maybe it's only a little worse, but the outcome of things is completely different. He started to be a little scared, so even if things are so clear this time, he still hopes that Evan To be able to come and use the eyes of an outsider to discover problems that he could not find, this was his deepest thought, but when he looked at Evan's face, he found that he couldn't say it at all.

Sheriff Chandler bowed his head and smiled bitterly, perhaps because of his ridiculous self-esteem, he turned and walked into the police station, this time he will investigate the case well.

When Evan came to the corner again, he greeted a rental carriage and directly reported the name of Cornwall Manor. For this matter, he still needed the strength of the Duke.

When Evan arrived at Cornwall Manor, Steward Chris was calling for a few lower-level footmen to move the hay. When he saw Evan coming, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Mr. Pastor." He thought about Evan and nodded slightly.

Evan nodded and said in a low voice, "What about the Duke?"

Butler Chris pursed his lips unnaturally: "The Duke is doing business upstairs, he doesn't want to be disturbed." Butler Chris looked at Evan's words meaningfully .

Evan couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He turned his head and glanced upstairs with a heavy look in his eyes.

"I know, I'll wait downstairs." Evan suddenly discovered at this moment that the relationship between him and him was not as close as he thought, and he almost forgot , that person is the Duke, he has his own power, his own identity, and his own unknown side.

Evan was sitting in the living room with the black tea brought to him by Butler Chris, but at this time it gradually lost its temperature. The original gurgling smoke had already faded, but Evan But he didn't even want to take a sip. He just looked at the Bible in his hand with thoughtful eyes. If anyone looked at him, he would find that he hadn't turned the page for a long time.

With a serious look, he walked from the corridor to the stairs, and behind him was an ordinary-looking young man, his face was slightly pale, and he looked very nervous.

Evan's heart suddenly beat violently at this time, his eyes have been following the figure of Duke Wilson, such a duke has never been seen before, he may have been indifferent before Yes, but not as indifferent as this time, there is almost no emotion on his face, but there is a bloodthirsty light in his eyes.

Duke Wilson like this makes people feel dangerous, but it makes Evan feel - exciting!

He couldn't help licking his lower lip, and the bloodthirsty factor that was hidden in his heart suddenly started to move.

"Evan!" Duke Wilson finally saw Evan sitting on the sofa, a soft look suddenly appeared on his face, the expression on his face hardly changed, but it was only in his eyes The change in his expression made his entire outline softened, and the sharp appearance just now seemed to be just an illusion.

Evan looked slightly dazed, then smiled and stood up from the chair.

"Why are you here?" Duke Wilson's eyes showed joy: "I still think you are going back."

Evan just smiled mildly: "It was originally going back, but Sheriff Chandler invited me to watch Colonel Mel's interrogation, which was delayed for a while."

"Interrogation?" Duke Wilson's eyes flickered: "Did he say something?"

Evan didn't notice the difference between Duke Wilson, and when he was just worried about Colonel Mel, he smiled and said: "Don't worry, he's okay, just blindly said that he was wronged, Sheriff Chandler is not a senseless man."

Duke Wilson breathed a sigh of relief and said warmly, "That's good." As he said, he winked at Kevin behind him, and Kevin immediately retreated very wisely go out.

Evan glanced at the direction in which Kevin disappeared, his eyes darkened slightly, what was he doing behind his back? The unease in Evan's heart grew bigger, but his face was still gentle: "Who is that gentleman?"

Evan's question made Duke Wilson's originally smiling face froze. He took a closer look at Evan's face and found that there was nothing wrong with him, so he said warmly: "That's mine. A staff member, came to report to me today about the manor's affairs in the past few days."

Staff? Evan was very skeptical, and he was very sure that even in the chaotic London, Duke Wilson had a very tight control of Cornwall Manor, and letters were sent every day. Now that he is back, does he still need a staff to come to him? Did he report what he already knew? Even if it is necessary, the timing should not be today, I am afraid they should report on the first day they come back.

"So it is." Evan smiled slightly: "What about Mr. Ederson before? Why didn't he come?" As far as Evan knew, that Ederson was Duke Wilson A very trusted person, and now suddenly has a different person, Evan naturally has doubts in his heart.

Duke Wilson didn't expect Evan to remember Ederson. He couldn't help but slapped the words in his mouth, but in the end he just fooled and said: "Ederson is ill... You are here this time. What's the matter?" In front of Evan, he suddenly became a tongue-tied child, almost unable to speak, and the topic was changed very stiffly, not like his usual look.

And Evan also saw that he did not really want to talk about this matter, and he was no longer persecuting, and some things still had to be understood in moderation, so he followed his words and said: "So it is, I came to you today to ask you to accompany me to visit Mrs. Mel, I think this matter should be a very big blow to Mrs."

Evan said the point, but Duke Wilson heard what he meant. Since Colonel Mel has no breakthrough here, he can only break through from Mrs. Mel.

"You said it very well, I almost ignored it." Duke Wilson smiled in a low voice, he looked at Evan's slightly deserted face, although he knew that Evan was for the sake of He helped himself to get rid of the suspicion of Colonel Mel, but his attention to the strange woman still made him a little sour, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry. Although the two of them had a close relationship for a long time, since that night, they No more intimacy.

Thinking of this, Duke Wilson couldn't help but feel a little depressed, Duke Wilson moved at will, walked to Evan, suddenly grabbed his hand hanging by his side, and whispered: "Are you worried about Mrs. Mel?"

Evan was a little surprised by Duke Wilson's behavior, and couldn't help but smile: "She is a lady, this matter is a shocking thing for you and me, it is a shock to her. Even more terrifying, and Colonel Mel is your friend, I don't want you to be embarrassed."

Listening to Evan worrying about him, Duke Wilson's heart eased, and he couldn't help but smile at Evan: "Thank you, Evan."

Evan looked at Duke Wilson for a long time, but suddenly leaned his head and kissed his side face, he put his lips to his ear, and whispered: "Charles, I don't want to hear You thank me, we don't need thank you."

Duke Wilson was flushed by Evan's sudden action, but his hands were tightly wrapped around Evan's waist, and now Evan's slightly hot breath spurted in his ears , he couldn't help shrinking for a while, but his hands tightened around Duke Wilson's waist.

"I see." He said this sentence with some difficulty, and now there is a fire in his body, and he almost exhausted his willpower to let the fire dormant temporarily.

Evan listened to his slightly trembling voice, couldn't help chuckling a few times, pushed his shoulders, looked at his face, and whispered: "Let's go see Mel Ma'am, Colonel Mel is in a mess, maybe we can get some useful information from this lady."

Duke Wilson nodded, looking a little stiff.

Butler Chris quickly prepared the carriage, and Evan and Duke Wilson rode in the carriage towards Colonel Mel's house.

The matter of taking the duke to go, Evan has actually thought about it for a long time. The duke's position in Delanlier is self-evident. With the duke there, things will be easier.

As expected, Duke Wilson's carriage emblem is like a nameplate for customs clearance at Colonel Mel's house. No one dared to stop his carriage, so Duke Wilson drove straight in and came to Colonel Mel's house. castle.

Evan was a little surprised when he saw this castle again. Needless to say, when he came last time, he was resplendent, more of the kind of vitality exuding from the inside out, but This time and then have been earth-shaking changes. The castle now looks like a shaky seedling in a violent storm.

Evan was only stunned for a moment, and was led in by the winning butler. When he entered, Evan's feeling was even more profound, and the panic of the surrounding servants seemed to spread When he got into the air, his breathing became a little stagnant.

Evan and Duke Wilson were arranged to wait in the living room. Duke Wilson has not let go of his brows since he came in. In his opinion, Mrs. Mel is not a qualified manor hostess. Colonel Mel was only imprisoned for one day, but the whole family seemed like the sky was falling. It was absurd for her to manage like this.

Just as Evan and Duke Wilson were thinking about each other, suddenly there was a noise on the stairs, they all looked upstairs, and saw a thin and somewhat excessive woman walking down.
