Guidebook for the Dark Duke
Chapter 21: serious suspicion
Duke Wilson's words were astonishing, not only Evan, but even Dr. Hester was stunned, he stared blankly at the Duke, his moustache was still laughable.
Evan responded quickly, with a cold smile on his face: "The Duke said is very correct, I really should go back, Mrs. Sanders is not here, the church's Things are very complicated.”
Dr. Hester smiled a little embarrassedly: "Yes, yes, it's my fault, so I won't delay your business."
Evan nodded quickly, then turned and left the living room without even looking at the duke.
Butler Chris dutifully sent him to the door of Cornwall Manor. Evan just wanted to leave, but he suddenly said, "Pastor Bruce." , with a serious expression: "I hope you can visit Cornwall Manor more in the future. Lord Edward likes your company very much."
This faithful old housekeeper has devoted his entire life to this manor. His affection for Edward and Duke Wilson is just like his grandson and son.
Evan was not in a very good mood at first, and at this time, the arrogant words of Butler Chris made him angry.
"Mr. Chris, the whole of Derainier is my parishioners, they are all children of the Lord, whether it is Lord Edward or the son of a tenant, they are all the same in my eyes Yes, I will not favor anyone because of the difference in status, so you should say less about your words in the future."
Evan finished these words very coldly, ignoring the surprised butler Chris, turned and left Cornwall Manor.
Evan returned to the church. Sheriff Chandler was still waiting in the church. He saw Evan's figure, his eyes lit up, and he immediately stood up and greeted him.
"Oh, my dear Mr. Pastor, why did you come back at this time, I want to tell you a happy event, the case is now completely solved, the murderer is Mrs. Lawrence, I asked her Laura, the maid, Mrs. Lawrence had an argument with little John before, and even hit her cute little John, you say, what an interesting discovery." Sheriff Chandler smiled with a mocking smile.
Evan is now completely occupied by Duke Wilson's blunt attitude, and he has no time to pay attention to these, he waved his hand impatiently: "You don't have to tell me this kind of thing, if You have evidence, you can send anyone to the gallows."
Sheriff Chandler didn't care about Evan's attitude, he immediately said excitedly: "Do you agree with me too?"
Evan is now a little absent-minded, and has not heard what his point of view is: "Yes, I agree." Evan now just wants to send the long-winded sheriff away.
Sheriff Chandler was finally satisfied this time, he smiled and patted Evan on the shoulder, turned and left the church.
Evan sat in the front row of the church, folded his hands to face Jesus, and looked like he was praying, but in fact he was really thinking about today's events quickly in his heart, why is Duke Wilson suddenly so absent-minded How to drive him away politely? Did Dr. Hester say something? Evan's heart is messed up.
Evan had a very tormented night. While thinking about his behavior in the past few days, he reflected on whether he had a proper place. Before he went upstairs, he was still full of confidence He believed that Duke Wilson still had a good impression of him, otherwise he would not have reprimanded Chris, who made his own way, but things changed after he went downstairs.
During this process, only Dr. Hester spoke to the Duke, so it was definitely what Dr. Hester said that changed the Duke's attitude.
Evan made up his mind secretly in his heart, he must find out what Dr. Hester said.
But before Evan could implement his plan, early the next morning, a huge scandal spread rapidly throughout Derain.
Mrs. Lawrence was arrested by Sheriff Chandler on suspicion of killing her own son, John Lawrence.
It was like the most incredible burlesque, and it caused a huge stir throughout Dranlier, and it was at this time that Evan remembered that the one published by Sheriff Chandler yesterday afternoon Field Gao said that his whole person was a little restless.
And at this time, Mrs. Sanders came back.
Mrs. Sanders was no longer as haggard and weak as Evan last saw her. Although her face was pale, her expression was firm. She was wearing a light gray dress , with a cape wrapped around her shoulders, and Mr. Chandler stood behind her with a worried look on his face.
She looked at Evan, the sadness in her eyes almost overflowed her eyes: "Pastor Bruce, I know you have a very good relationship with Sheriff Chandler, please tell him, I think I want to see Mrs. Lawrence, and after meeting, I will tell him everything I know, this matter is very important!"
Evan's eyes tightened, he had some guesses before, could Mrs. Sanders really...
"Is your body okay?" Evan asked, pretending not to know.
Mrs. Sanders looked at him, her eyes full of enthusiasm: "Pastor Bruce, you are a noble person, and you don't want to expose my shame, but I believe that you must You have already guessed my secret buried deep in my heart, please go and tell Sheriff Chandler what I said, I just want to see Mrs. Lawrence now."
Evan opened his mouth in embarrassment, but in the end he found that he couldn't say anything. Mrs. Sanders is a smart person, but unfortunately she thinks herself too well.
"I see, I will make arrangements for you, please wait a moment." Evan left the church after saying that.
On the way to Sheriff Chandler's house, Evan has been thinking about this matter, it seems that his guess has been confirmed, then if it is really as he thought , the suspicion of Mrs. Lawrence is even greater.
This is like a disaster, Evan cursed secretly in his heart, he never thought that a good Mary Sue novel would turn into what it is now.
Sheriff Chandler was very impatient with Mrs. Sanders' request. He is now busy interrogating Mrs. Lawrence, who has been blaming him. He has no time to pay attention to the request of a parish secretary, but If the requester was changed to Evan, Sheriff Chandler had to think about it.
"Mr. Pastor, Mrs. Lawrence has been detained by the police, I'm afraid this matter is not easy to handle." Sheriff Chandler said with a bitter face.
Evan knew that he didn't want to waste time, so he didn't go around the corner and said directly: "Don't worry, this visit will definitely satisfy you, Mrs. Sanders knows some very important information, You have to know."
She cursed herself with all the words she could think of, and didn't listen to what he said.
"Since this is the case, then I think the police can provide appropriate facilities, but also ask Mrs. Sanders to provide some really favorable information." Sheriff Chandler is now true Frightened by this case.
Evan smiled: "Of course, trust me, Sheriff, you will never be disappointed."
Sheriff Chandler agreed to this matter smoothly under the coaxing of Evan, but considering Mrs. Sanders' health, they finally chose the place of meeting in Germany Langrell Church.
When Sheriff Chandler came out with Mrs. Lawrence, Evan could hardly believe that the person in front of her was the arrogant Mrs. Lawrence, her gorgeous clothes are now dejected The pale, arrogant face has already become a little neurotic at this time, she is thinner than before, and her high cheekbones make her originally unbeautiful face even more mean.
As soon as she saw Evan, it was like seeing a life-saving straw, and she rushed up and grabbed Evan's hands tightly: "Pastor Bruce, please help me, these thugs Accuses me of killing my own son! That's my little John! How could I have killed him!"
Evan was a little embarrassed, but he didn't pull out his hand, he just calmly said: "Madam, don't worry, if you don't do this, then no one can make you Sent to the gallows."
Mrs. Lawrence's eyes were full of horror, she didn't believe Evan's nonsense at all, but she had no chance to say more, Sheriff Chandler took her directly to the prisoner's seat The carriage completely disappeared from Evan's sight.
"Pastor Bruce, I'm so sorry, Mrs. Lawrence is really an unreasonable woman." Sheriff Chandler smiled apologetically.
Evan curved his mouth slightly, with a very gentle expression on his face: "You shouldn't say that as a lady, although she may have made big mistakes, she is also God's people, In my eyes, they are all equal.”
"It's very possible?" Sheriff Chandler looked at Evan in surprise: "Mrs. Lawrence's crime is already done, Mr. Reverend."
Evan lowered his head, a little uncertainty flashed in his eyes, and finally said: "Since this is the case, I will not make any judgment until the judge does not judge."
Sheriff Chandler sighed, and seemed to be surprised by Evan's statement: "You are really a kind-hearted person, even so, you will not give up the lost lamb, Mr. Reverend, in the future You will be a great pastor."
Evan grinned, his goal was not just a great priest.
Sheriff Chandler and Evan returned to the church in a carriage, and when they entered, the carriage that imprisoned Mrs. Lawrence had just arrived.
Mrs. Lawrence didn't know who to see her, but when she saw Mrs. Sanders, her whole body seemed to be hit by something, and she almost fell down.
Fortunately, someone behind her supported her, which prevented a tragedy.
"What's wrong with you, my lady?" Mrs. Sanders looked at Mrs. Lawrence coldly, with deep hatred in her eyes.
Mrs. Lawrence was almost speechless, she looked straight at Mrs. Lawrence, as if something had appeared in her mind, and her expression was almost panic.
"Mr. Sheriff." Mrs. Sanders turned her head to look at Evan and Sheriff Chandler: "Would you please leave me a little time for me to speak to her. "
