Guidebook for the Dark Duke

Chapter 11: get clues

    Evan's question was like a heavy hammer hitting Dr. Hester's face, his face stiffened for a moment, and then a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face: " You know, the last time about Lord Edward, she didn't dare to face the Duke again."

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

     "Did no one sneak back?" Evan continued to ask.

    "There is and there is, but it has nothing 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 anything wrong?"

    Dr. Hester hesitated for a while, and said with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "Actually, at the beginning, I estimated the time to be between ten and eleven o'clock, which is the time after the fireworks display. For a while, 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 be It affects the changes of the corpse, so I moved John's death time back by an hour according to the lighting of the stove, and this is..." Doctor Hester looked embarrassed, and his expression was very struggling.

    Evan took a deep breath when he heard it, frowned and said, "You are too confused, how can you handle such important news so casually, that stove may be left by the murderer Come down and hide it, maybe you should report it to Sheriff Chandler, let him investigate this, and then you are making a decision, aren't you?"

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

    "I'm afraid you have read too many mystery novels, some things are not as simple as they seem, Dr. Hester, I still recommend you to do a new autopsy, don't Don't make such an easy decision again." Evan's voice was a little stern.

    Dr. Hester seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, and nodded immediately: "What you said is very reasonable, it was my previous error that caused this result, I This is where to explain to Sheriff Chandler."

    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 , how did you know about Arya going to see John?"

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

    Evan's mouth twitched slightly when he heard it. Since someone saw it, it meant 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 with gratitude and said: "Bruce Pastor, thanks to your advice, Sheriff Chandler has gone to investigate this matter, and the ashes of the fire have also been sent to Scotland Yard for inspection by the Sheriff. I believe that Arya will get rid of this as soon as possible. things."

    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: "Then the person who exposed Miss Alia at that time was found?"

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

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

     "Don't get excited, Alia's matter has not been found out yet, don't worry about it." Evan comforted Dr. Hester for a few words, but he suddenly came up with a The way, since this matter is so confusing, why don't he make it a little more complicated.

    Evan sent Dr. Hester away, but he went to see Sheriff Chandler himself, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible, the world must be put back on track as soon as possible, otherwise He didn't know what was going to happen.

     Sheriff Chandler is very busy now, and when he sees Evan, there is no good face.

    "Pastor Bruce, you came at a bad time." Sheriff Hester held a piece of bread in his mouth and a stack of documents in his hand. The police station was very busy, and there were noises everywhere. , Evan was wearing a meticulous priest's robe, but he became an outlier.

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

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

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

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

    "Jack!" Sheriff Chandler shouted outside the house.

    A seventeen or eighteen-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 locked in prison?"

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

     "Let it go?" 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 was immediately scared.

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

      Your help will never be forgotten."

    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 my lies."

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

    Evan only smiled bitterly at the words of Sheriff Chandler.

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

      Who is gone, but without evidence he can't do anything about that person, he just hopes that this plan will work and arrest that person, so that they can really know what happened that night in Woodwich Cottage.

    When Evan returned to the parsonage, it was already dark, but he found that Tom was waiting at the door, saw him coming back from a distance, and hurried over.

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

    Evan was a little surprised that Duke Wilson came.
