Chapter 13: first appearance

    "Please wait a moment." Evan suppressed the surging smile in his heart and put down the teacup in his hand: "Your uncle wants to visit Mrs. Sanders?"

    "Yes." Sheriff Chandler's expression twisted slightly.

    "Then why did you tell me, I don't care about Mrs. Sanders' private affairs." Evan replied with some humor.

    "No...not what you think, Mrs. Sanders is a stern person, my uncle didn't have the courage to face him directly, if...if you can explain to him For some church matters, I believe Mrs. Sanders will not reject my uncle's kindness." Sheriff Chandler touched the back of his head and smiled a little silly.

    Evan sighed deeply and stroked his forehead: "Sheriff Chandler, you will really give me a problem, if Mrs. Sanders finds out, she will definitely killed me."

    "How could it be? My good pastor." Sheriff Chandler said excitedly when he saw the drama, "Mrs. Sanders has been single for so many years, if there is a good man who can take care of her , is also a beautiful thing, isn't it?"

    Evan thinks about this truth, Mrs. Sanders has a straight face all day, it is not good for him, if he can be softer because of the family, it is a good way .

    "Alright, since it's your request, then I'll make an exception. Mrs. Sanders is a devout believer. She hasn't prayed in church for a week, so I'll let you The uncle from here, take the holy water and the **** statue given by the church to Mrs. Sanders." Evan said embarrassedly.

     Sheriff Chandler was immediately happy when he heard this, he patted Evan's shoulder vigorously again and said: "I know you have many ideas, great, this time I Also get rid of the terrible Christmas every year."

    Evan's mouth twitched, Sheriff Chandler is really a frank person!

    **

    That night, Evan and Sheriff Chandler ambushed in the corridor of Sheriff Chandler's house. Since this person can cast an anonymous letter to expose Arya, then this This time she couldn't sit still and watch Arya escape.

    They waited from nine o'clock to midnight, Evan was too sleepy to open his eyes, he even thought that the man was impossible to come, but when the clock struck three times, the money There was a sudden sound from the door of Sheriff Dele's house.

    A snow-white envelope was handed in from under the door under the moonlight. At the same time, she saw a pair of snow-white and slender hands. It turned out to be a woman. Sheriff Chandler's eyes were full of shock. He jumped up almost immediately and opened the door of his house, looking at the horrified woman outside, Sheriff Chandler's eyes were full of confusion.

    "Amy, how are you?"

    Evan stood behind Sheriff Chandler and looked over his shoulder at the pale woman in front of him, the same crying maid he had seen in the kitchen that day .

    Amy took two steps back in horror, turned around and wanted to run.

    Sheriff Chandler stepped forward and grabbed her shoulder: "There are policemen around here, Amy, I advise you not to act rashly!" His voice was low and solemn, almost Somewhat different from his usual tone.

    Amy was so frightened that she trembled, she turned around and looked at Sheriff Chandler, her eyes full of despair: "You... what do you want?"

    Sheriff Chandler frowned at her and said solemnly, "Amy, I should be asking you, what the **** are you doing here tonight?"

    Amy shrank as if she had been electrocuted. She didn't dare to look at Sheriff Chandler, and looked down at her feet, as if there was a million pounds somewhere.

    "Send...Send a letter." She closed her chin slightly, her tone a little flustered.

     "What kind of letter is that Amy, you are my wife's friend, and I don't want to read your letter in front of so many people." Sheriff Chandler rubbed the envelope in his hand , looks a little heavy.

    Amy lowered her head and said nothing.

    The scene froze for a while.

    Evan watched such a scene from behind, sighed slightly, and whispered: "Miss Emily, I saw you crying in the kitchen that day, did you lie to me? "

    Amy was taken aback, and she looked up at a loss. After seeing Evan, her eyes were full of despair: "No... Mr. Pastor, what I said is true. ."

    Evan walked slowly to Amy's side, picked up an emerald green lace ribbon in her hair with his fingers, and said softly: "Miss Emily, you know that I have seen this."

    Amy's whole body suddenly trembled, she looked at Evan with a very frightened look, as if he was about to say the devil's whisper in the next sentence.

    "I've seen the exact same lace ribbon on Miss Arya's head, Amy, tell me, this one-of-a-kind headband that John brought back from London, why is it in On your head?" Evan didn't have any sympathy, and the words in his mouth went straight to Huanglong.

    Amy's whole body fell softly, Sheriff Chandler quickly supported him, and at this time did not forget to post: "Pastor, is what you said true?"

    Evan took out the smelling salt from his pocket and put it under Amy's nose, with a hint of annoyance in his eyes, but his tone was still calm: "I thought I was wrong before, but then I saw it again. Miss Arya once and it's exactly the same."

     Sheriff Chandler sighed deeply when he heard this. He took the smelling salt from Evan's hand and whispered to the policeman who came over: "Take this The lady will be sent back to the police station for questioning tomorrow morning."

    The police officers quickly carried Amy into the carriage and hurried towards the police station.

     Sheriff Chandler stood there, with a sigh in his eyes: "Mr. Pastor, do you know that he used to be my eldest daughter's nanny, but later Lawrence's family recruited someone, she Then I left, I always thought she was a reliable girl, but I didn't expect that she would do such a thing and have an affair with Little John? God, this is really scary."

    "Like I said, love comes from nothing. Even a humble maid cannot escape like a noble lady." Evan sighed.

    The sheriff nodded deeply, and glanced at Evan gratefully: "Mr. Pastor, thank you very much this time, if it weren't for you, this case would not have been so fast. It's clear to the world."

    "It's clear to the world?" Evan looked at Sheriff Chandler with some doubts.

    "Isn't that clear?" Sheriff Chandler gritted his teeth: "Love and hate! Jealousy is a terrible devil!"

    Evan couldn't help laughing: "My dear sheriff, I'm afraid this matter is not so simple, you will understand after the trial tomorrow, I will not waste your time now Now, I'm going back to rest, or Mrs Hayden will bring the raw fish directly to the table."

     Sheriff Chandler couldn't help laughing: "Mrs. Haydn's cooking skills are famous for Derain Riel, just like her bad temper, Mr. Reverend, you are really a gentle person ."

    Evan smiled and waved his hand, turned and left Sheriff Chandler's house.

    **

    Sheriff Chandler started the interrogation of Amy early the next morning, and he also invited Evan to participate. In such a dilemma, he immediately agreed.

    His face was pale and his head was lowered, his hands pressed tightly against his lower abdomen.

    Evan looked at her with a gloomy expression.

     Sheriff Chandler saw Evan coming and invited him to sit down very warmly.

    "Pastor Bruce, you're finally here. We started the interrogation early in the morning, and we haven't been able to pry her teeth open. I'm considering whether to impose some punishment." There was a distinct look of disgust in Sheriff Chandler's eyes.

    Evan quickly raised the corner of his mouth and glanced at Amy meaningfully: "The penalty is unnecessary, sheriff, if Amy stays in this place for one more night, I'm afraid There will be life worries.”

    Hearing Evan say this, Amy couldn't help shaking.

    Sheriff Chandler looked blank: "What are you talking about? Prisoners won't be abused here, if that's what you want to ask."

    Evan smiled lightly, but did not answer the sheriff's question, he just looked straight at Amy and said warmly: "You did those things that framed Miss Arya, don't you? Don't you have anything to say?"

    Amy raised her head suddenly, with hatred in her eyes: "I... I didn't wrong her! It was her! It was she who killed Master John!"

    Seeing that Amy finally spoke, Sheriff Chandler breathed a sigh of relief, but the words in his mouth became more and more severe: "Nonsense! Miss Arya is a lady, how can she kill What about little John?"

    Amy's eyes burst into large drops of tears, which wetted her white and greasy cheeks, and also wetted her skirt: "She is not worthy of being a lady at all! John The young master loves her so much. He even rejected a better lady for her, but she stepped on his heart and hurt his heart. Poor young master John, it was because of her that he fell. It's because of her!"

    Sheriff Chandler frowned instantly, he stared at Emily, and asked sharply: "Rejection? Fallen? What did John do?"

    Amy closed her mouth like a frightened rabbit with a look of chagrin on her face.

    Sheriff Chandler didn't care about this, he looked at Amy with a sneer, and said solemnly: "Tell me clearly! If you can't explain clearly, you will stay here for the rest of your life! "

    Amy protested loudly: "It's not fair! I can't stay in this place! Why don't you catch Arya! I saw her come out of the Woodwich Cottage!"

     Sheriff Chandler sneered: "Since you saw it with your own eyes, then you are also there, aren't you suspect?"

    "Me?" Amy seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then began to cry: "How could I kill Master John? I'm pregnant with his child!"

    The entire interrogation room fell silent.
