    The time of John's death has been determined. It was the time when the fireworks display was held. John did not go to the fireworks display because he had work to do. They were all allowed to go home to rest, and the Lawrences left a half-deaf old man to watch the door because they were worried that their son was at home alone. Of course, this poor old man didn't hear anything wrong at all. That's how little John is. Died in Yellow Springs.

    When this news came out for the first time, Evan read it very seriously and thought about it secretly, but later reports lost some of his resignation, illogical Speculations filled the entire newspaper, but they were all just for grandstanding, so Evan was also a little annoyed, and his mood began to become very messy.

    After the day John died, he actually went to Jimmy's house according to the address given by the maid, but he didn't see Jimmy. According to Jimmy's mother, after Jimmy came back that morning, he suddenly said that he wanted to Went to London to find work, then took the earliest train of the morning and left Delan Lier, Evan was one step behind.

    Now this matter of the Lawrence family is like seeing flowers in the fog, Evan has no clue, what happened to Jimmy, and will leave Delan Lille in such a hurry, Did the Lawrence couple find out that their son's little hobby was like a mess, and Evan couldn't find an exit at all.

    On the fourth day of John's murder, the newspapers finally reported a shocking news that Sheriff Chandler in the small town of Delane had caught the real murderer of John Lawrence, It was a gypsy who occasionally wandered around Woodwich's hut, and the reason for the murder was to steal money. When the gypsy was arrested, he found a pocket watch that did not belong to him.

     Sheriff Chandler finally fulfilled his prophecy. He appeared in the newspapers in an unusually high-spirited manner, but Evan could not help but sigh, because the so-called pocket watch that did not belong to Gypsies , it's the one he lost at the last fireworks show, he didn't call the police because it was worth nothing, and now, this pocket watch is in the newspaper, arrogant Sheriff Chandler's hands.

    Evan put away the newspaper in his hand and called Tom over loudly: "Prepare the carriage immediately, I'm going to see Sheriff Chandler."

    Tom was a little surprised, but he still kept his duty and went out to call a carriage immediately.

    When he called the carriage, Evan also packed up, he quickly jumped into the carriage, and immediately ordered the carriage to run towards the town police station, he had to catch up with Sheriff Chandler Stop him before making some stupid decisions, this town really doesn't need outside power to interfere.

    When Evan arrived at the police station, a carriage was already parked at the entrance of the police station. Evan was also very familiar with this carriage. It was Duke Wilson's carriage, and Evan was a little surprised to pick it. Raising his eyebrows, the thought of wanting the coachman to wait in place immediately turned a corner and told him to leave.

    Evan strode into the police station, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Duke Wilson stand up from his seat, saying something serious, while Sheriff Chandler was full of hair Khan stood beside him, his expression a little aggrieved.

    They both looked a little surprised when they saw Evan coming in, and Chief Chandler was the most important: "Pastor Bruce, why did you come here?"

    Evan looked at the scene in front of him hesitantly, first nodded towards the duke, and then said, "I saw the news in the newspaper, and then I rushed over."

     Sheriff Chandler could not help frowning: "You won't tell me, that gypsy is not the murderer, right?"

    Evan glanced at Sheriff Chandler in surprise, then looked at Duke Wilson, who was standing beside him with an unpredictable expression, and couldn't help but smile: "You are right, I do want to tell you this unfortunate news, does Duke Wilson agree with me?"

      Is there any real evidence?"

     Sheriff Chandler only reacted at this time, and his face could not help but bring a bit of anger: "Mr. Pastor, don't you agree with my point of view?"

    Evan smiled wryly: "I also hope that this terrible thing will pass soon, but I have to overturn your conclusion, because the pocket watch that the gypsy stole is mine. "

    "What? Is it yours?" Sheriff Chandler looked at Evan in shock: "Are you sure it's yours? There's no sign on it!"

    Evan smiled slightly: "It can't be said that there is no sign, it's just that you didn't look for him, if you open the back cover of the pocket watch, you will find that on the inside of the back cover The initials of my name are engraved, because the engraving is relatively hidden, so if you don't look for it, you will never find it."

    Sheriff Chandler opened the back cover of the pocket watch disbelievingly, he carefully searched along the watch cover, and when he saw the underside of the watch cover, a flower The body EB appeared in front of him, and Sheriff Chandler sat down in a moment of discouragement. He waved to the police officers behind him, motioning them to release the gypsy.

    But Duke Wilson looked at Evan with great interest, and suddenly asked: "Since the way to identify this pocket watch is hidden in the cover, how does Pastor Bruce determine by appearance that it is yours? What about the pocket watch?"

    Evan smiled bitterly: "I'm not sure this must be my pocket watch, but my pocket watch happened to be lost that night, I'm afraid that I will wrong a good person because of this, I just rushed over here, and since it has been confirmed that this poor gypsy did not do it, then I am relieved."

    Evan said this, but he thought to himself, in fact, there is a small pattern on the right side of this pocket watch. Evan naturally wouldn't say such words when he showed himself best, of course, he had to show his benevolent and kind side to the Duke, because according to the description in that book, the Duke liked this kind of tone.

    As expected, after Evan said this, the Duke couldn't help but feel a bit of appreciation in his eyes, he gently patted Evan on the shoulder, and whispered: "You are really an honest man. people."

    Evan accepted such praise without guilt.

    "You are overrated, this is just what I should do." Evan still had a humble smile on his face.

     Sheriff Chandler returned the pocket watch to Evan, and said to Duke Wilson a little dejected: "Please forgive me for offending you before, but no matter what, this gypsy is still For the crime of theft, I will detain him for fifteen days."

    Duke Wilson couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and Evan immediately took the opportunity to say: "Sheriff Chandler, forget it, this poor gypsy did this because of poverty. There are countless poor people in the world, maybe a lost soul can be saved today, and the Lord will forgive him."

     Sheriff Chandler was very dissatisfied with Evan's defections, but since the parties did not care, Duke Wilson made it clear that he wanted to intervene in the matter, Sheriff Chandler could only grit his teeth : "Since Pastor Bruce doesn't care, let this gypsy go!"

    Duke Wilson just nodded coldly and didn't say a word to Sheriff Chandler. Sheriff Chandler blushed with embarrassment, and Evan hurriedly laughed when he saw it Diverted the conversation: "Lord Duke, Lord Edward has not been affected by this matter? I heard that Mr. Lawrence and the Lord are very close."

    When Evan said these words, Sheriff Chandler gave him a grateful look, but Duke Wilson's expression became solemn: "His condition is indeed a little bad these days. "After he finished speaking, he looked up at Evan again, and there was a glimmer of expectation in his eyes: "I think you and Edward got along very well last time, can you please enlighten him?"

    Evan couldn't help laughing in his heart. He basically didn't say a few words to Edward last time, and the Duke was in a state of emergency.

    "This is my honor." Evan nodded slightly.

    A smile flashed in Duke Wilson's eyes.

    Duke Wilson and Evan got into Duke Wilson's carriage together, and Sheriff Chandler had to release the captured gypsy. According to the Duke, Sheriff Chandler was poor The matter will be reported to Scotland Yard at one point, but fortunately it was suppressed by the Duke, and Duke Wilson very much does not want people from other places to appear on his own territory.

    Duke Wilson did not leave the police station quickly, he waited until Sheriff Chandler released the gypsy, Evan felt a little strange, but he didn't take it to heart, just when that When the gypsy came out of the police station, Evan suddenly found that the duke lifted the curtain of the carriage slightly, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

    Evan suddenly felt a chill from the bottom of his heart.

    Duke Wilson turned his head to look at Evan, Evan quickly turned his face to one side, pretending to be admiring the interior of the carriage, Duke Wilson looked at Evan's side face, slightly relieved, There was a smile in the corner of his eyes.

     "Pastor Bruce, I'm going to trouble you again." Duke Wilson's tone had a hint of gentleness.

    Evan raised the corner of his mouth reluctantly, he was a little uneasy, Duke Wilson's current appearance made him feel that something was wrong.

    "You are too kind, Lord Duke." Evan tried his best to control his tone.

    The carriage walked along the streets of Delan Lier towards the Cornwall Manor, the sound of the horse's hooves making Evan's mind confused, and now the development of things has obviously surpassed him He didn't know what surprises were waiting for him later.

    They soon arrived at the Cornish manor, and the housekeeper Chris came out to meet them in person, when he saw Evan, his eyes were obviously a little surprised, but he was an old school Englishman The housekeeper, so he didn't say any more, and welcomed Evan and the duke into the castle very decently.

    Duke Wilson's castle is still as gorgeous and tidy as when Evan came a few days ago. comparison.

    Duke Wilson invited Evan to sit down in the study, and immediately a servant brought tea, Evan took a sip, it was authentic Darjeeling.

    "What's wrong with Lord Edward?" Evan asked to stabilize his turbulent mind.

    Duke Wilson pondered for a moment, and finally replied: "Mr. Reverend, you may find it absurd to say this, but my relationship with Edward is not close, and it may not be as good as John and him. I'm not sure about the relationship between him now, but he's been in a low mood these days, and he doesn't eat much."

    Evan frowned slightly and nodded lightly: "In that case, please allow me to see him now."

    Duke Wilson breathed a sigh of relief and led him towards Edward's room.

    Evan walked behind Duke Wilson and looked at his back with a burning expression. Duke Wilson was a very traditional nobleman from the outside, with meticulous clothes and a cold and arrogant expression. In his life, he had never seen such a nobleman before, but at this moment he knew very well that this person was not as simple as he seemed on the surface. Duke Wilson is no good.

    As long as I think of this, Evan's whole body becomes restless.
