Guidebook for the Dark Duke

Evan and Duke Wilson hurriedly stood up and went up to them.

"Mrs. Mel." Duke Wilson spoke first.

Mrs. Mel did not look as radiant as when she first met. Her face was sallow and anxious, and her figure was not as tall as when she first met. She flinched, most of her hair was loose, covering half of her face.

"Your Majesty." She raised the corner of her skirt and bowed to Duke Wilson, speaking in a slightly hoarse voice.

Duke Wilson frowned as he looked at him like this, but it was only one day's event that this Mrs. Mel would become like this.

"Are you okay?" Duke Wilson asked in a slightly stiff tone.

Mrs. Mel gave a wry smile and whispered: "This terrible thing happened, I really..."

Duke Wilson couldn't help sighing, with a bit of sympathy in his eyes: "I understand your situation very well, Mel is really ridiculous this time." Turning around, he looked at Mrs. Mel with a sad expression, and added, "It's just that, even though it's the case, I still can't believe that he would kill people. This is too ridiculous."

Mrs. Mel bit her lower lip, with a forbearance in her eyes: "I don't believe he would do such a thing either." Her voice was very soft, if Evan hadn't listened carefully, she would have almost did not hear.

Duke Wilson nodded with satisfaction, as long as Mrs. Mel thought so, he was afraid that this woman would do something irrational because of love and hatred.

"In that case, then I want to ask you, do Colonel Mel have any enemies? This time, it's almost like a frame up." Duke Wilson said very cautiously, just now Before coming here, Kevin reported to him the results of the investigation in the past few days. To his surprise, they found almost nothing. For Duke Wilson, who has almost completely mastered Derainlier, it is almost a It's a little incredible, so she is very sure that there must be some kind of force targeting him this time.

Mrs. Mel pondered for a while, her eyes flashed with a hint of hesitation, and she glanced at Duke Wilson, but it seemed a little difficult to explain.

Duke Wilson caught her expression, and immediately said, "What did you think of? Whatever it is, please say it."

Mrs. Mayer pursed her lips in embarrassment, and finally opened her mouth: "I...I don't know if this is an enemy, before...before I met Charlie and a gentleman The quarrel in the study seemed to be very intense, and the gentleman looked very angry, but it was fortunate that Charlie called the housekeeper in, which did not cause more serious consequences." Charlie in Merv's mouth is Colonel Mel's Christian name. .

Duke Wilson couldn't help squinting his eyes. Colonel Mel is not the kind of person who is prone to conflict with others. It's really unusual to have a fight with one person this time. When performing some dirty tasks of his own, he did it in a gentlemanly manner, more exquisite than him. In all these years, Duke Wilson had never seen Mel quarrel with anyone.

"Do you know that gentleman's name?" Duke Wilson looked at Mrs. Mel with a burning expression, perhaps this person was the breakthrough in this matter.

Mrs. Mel pondered for a while, and finally said: "I... I don't know, but I heard Charlie call him Edson, or something else, I really can't remember clear."

Adelson? ! Duke Wilson couldn't help widening his eyes, and Evan also looked at Mrs. Mel in surprise. It turned out to be the Ederson. Evan's impression of this gentleman was not very good.

"Did you really hear me right?" Duke Wilson looked at Mrs. Mel with a serious expression, as if he was about to ask something from her in the next moment.

"I...I..." Duke Wilson's attitude made Mrs. Mel a little flustered for a while, she looked around helplessly, and stammered: "Maybe...maybe I read it wrong..." Her tone was getting lower and lower, completely unconvincing.

Duke Wilson couldn't help but sighed, and gave his temple a favor, but in his heart he was a little convinced by Mrs. Mel's statement. There was indeed a disagreement between Ederson and Mel. A small gap, this time Ederson even made a move to conceal himself, and what's even more weird is that this time their underground power has hardly any gains, which not only makes people wonder if Ederson is really did something.

"Okay, don't worry, I understand what you said, I will let Colonel Mel free as soon as possible." Duke Wilson comforted somewhat dryly.

Mrs. Mayer couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief: "Thank you so much, it's really lucky for Charlie to have a friend like you."

Duke Wilson nodded, but also lost the desire to speak.

The atmosphere became a little awkward for a while, Mrs. Mel hurriedly invited Duke Wilson and Evan to the living room to sit down, and the servants served new tea.

Evan took a sip and put the glass on the table. The words just now were what Duke Wilson wanted to know, but he wanted to know more than that.

"Mrs. Mel." He looked at the slightly neurotic woman with a gentle expression, and said softly: "If you have anything, the door of Derain Church will always be open for You open." Mrs. Mel is his newest parishioner. She used to come to church with Colonel Mel before. Evan hopes to use this method to soothe her emotions and get more from her words. information.

"Oh, Mr. Pastor." Mrs. Mayer's expression was almost a little surprised, as if she had not noticed that Evan was here before: "Thank you for your generosity, I understand." She slightly He nodded uncomfortably, as if he was making a fool of himself.

Evan frowned a little puzzled. Although Mrs. Mel is a Protestant, if Evan remembers correctly, he is still very enthusiastic about churches and churches. Anyway, Colonel Bemel To be 10,000 times more enthusiastic, but looking at her at this time, it seems a little strange.

"Are you in trouble?" Evan asked tentatively.

Mrs. Mel subconsciously glanced at Evan, her hands on her knees tightened, a smile was forced on her face, and she whispered: "No, no, thank you your invitation."

Evan nodded, but the doubts in his heart did not dissipate.

Afterwards, several people talked a lot about Colonel Mel, Duke Wilson hardly made a sound, most of it was Evan and Mrs. Mel talking, Evan suddenly found a very Interesting phenomenon, even though Colonel Mel has done such a terrible thing, when Mrs. Mel is talking about him, the expression on her face is still flat, and even there will be a moment of softness, not at all. The anger and unwillingness after learning of her husband's derailment, and her tone of voice will only be excited when she talks about him being wronged.

This kind of weird emotion made Evan sigh for Mrs. Mel. It seems that she may be in love with Colonel Mel to the bottom of her heart. She made such a betrayal of feelings and marriage. Things turned out to be so tolerant, which made Evan feel a little guilty about the questions he was about to ask.

But Evan will not give up his questioning because of this at all, because he knows very well that Colonel Mel's imprisonment is a blow to the Duke, so he will no longer go around in circles, He asked directly, "Did you know about Colonel Mel and Mother Eliza before?" Evan tried his best to keep his expression cold. He knew very well that as a victim in a marriage, Mrs. Mel was very likely After learning of Colonel Mel's betrayal, he made a radical move.

As soon as Evan's voice fell, Mrs. Mel's face quickly turned pale, her lips trembled slightly, and she looked at Evan with a panicked expression.

"You...you..." She was almost speechless: "How can you say such a terrible thing!" She covered her face with her hands, tears falling slipped from her fingers.

Evan was embarrassed for a while, not knowing what to say.

"Mrs. Mel, you..." Evan wanted to comfort but didn't know where to start.

Mrs. Mel raised her head sharply, tears still raging on her face, but her eyes looked clear and pure at this time.

"I really don't know, please believe me." She said this, as if she had caught the last straw.

Evan hesitated for a while, he glanced at Duke Wilson who was sitting on the side with a cold expression, he could only grit his teeth and nodded: "My lady, I'm sorry I told you Sadly, of course I trust you, don't worry, I just want to make sure what Colonel Mayer said so I can find out who really killed Mother Eliza."

But when Evan said the word "kill", Mrs. Mel trembled, she buried her face in her palm again, and murmured: "Oh, this is really too much. Terrible, terrifying, and I wish it all passed."

Evan looked at her like this, his expression flashed slightly, but his mouth was still very soft: "Please rest assured, it will pass."

"Thank you for your hospitality today." Duke Wilson suddenly interrupted Evan's gentle persuasion and said, "It's getting late, we'll leave first." He stood up from the sofa He got up and looked at Evan with an urgent look.

Although Evan was startled by him, he would not fight against him, so he also stood up with him and politely said goodbye to Mrs. Mel.

Mrs. Mel looked at Duke Wilson with a little surprise, the tears on her face were still clearly visible, she nodded dumbly, and then sent the two of them all the way to the carriage. just went back.

After Evan and Duke Wilson sat in the carriage, they said, "What do you think? Is there anything suspicious?"

Duke Wilson frowned: "I didn't think about Ederson at all. It seems that I still underestimate him." He just thought that Ederson's concealment was a heinous crime , but Mrs. Mel's words today gave him another possibility.

Evan nodded: "This point does need attention, but I am very puzzled that Mrs. Mayer looks a little wrong and always feels a little weird." Although Evan said so , but in fact he and Mrs. Mel didn't get along, it just felt a little weird.

Duke Wilson raised his eyebrows. If Evan was just a little unfamiliar, then he really had never seen him a few times.

"If you have doubts about her, then I will find someone to monitor her for a while to see if I can find any flaws, but I think the most important thing at this time is Edson ." When it came to Ederson, the expression on the Duke's face was very cold.

Although Evan had doubts in his heart, he still nodded at this time. The Duke was indeed right. Edson, as long as he thinks of this name, there will be a chill in his heart.
