Guidebook for the Dark Duke Chapter 111: The fog is heavy

"You..." Evan couldn't help frowning: "Are you telling the truth?" This matter is really getting more and more complicated.

"It's true." Colonel Mel's face regained his previous calm: "I rejected him." He repeated the sentence again, his lips slightly dry.

Evan looked at Colonel Mel with a complicated expression. In fact, maybe Sheriff Chandler didn't understand why Ederson wanted Colonel Mel to intercede for him, but Evan knew very well that Edson could not do anything. Forgiveness, he concealed Colonel Mel from Duke Wilson, and Evan also knew very well what kind of person Duke Wilson was. Such a thing was absolutely unforgivable to him, so Colonel Mel refused. It's normal to say good things about him, because even if Colonel Mel has the heart of a bodhisattva, he wouldn't dare to challenge Duke Wilson's bottom line.

But now Adelson is dead.

Not quietly disposed of by Duke Wilson, but killed by someone else, Colonel Mel looked a little stiff.

"What do you mean?" Sheriff Chandler looked at Colonel Mel with some doubts: "Did Ederson do something that displeased the Duke?"

Colonel Mel looked at Ederson with a sad look in his eyes: "You don't have to ask me anymore, anyway, you just need to know that Ederson will never commit suicide, he still has a son to support , he will not give up his life easily."

Sergeant Chandler couldn't help frowning, and gave Colonel Mel an irritable look. The things he asked today are the only things he has asked since he came in, but Police Chandler Chang Xin always felt a little uncomfortable, even if Ederson really didn't commit suicide, then who killed him? This matter is now just like a mess with nowhere to start.

"We still need to investigate whether he committed suicide or not. I will investigate the information you provided." After Sheriff Chandler said this, he turned and left the room.

Evan stood where he was and didn't move his feet until Sheriff Chandler went out, and Evan quickly whispered: "Colonel, it has come to this point, you'd better be honest, you are suffering now. It's not just you."

Evan gave Colonel Mel a pointed glance, and sure enough, he shuddered and his face turned pale.

"Is it Katrina?" he asked almost gritted his teeth, his eyes fixed on Evan with an unpredictable expression.

Evan nodded slowly: "Mrs. Mel's situation is not good, you have done something sorry for her, now please don't continue."

Colonel Mel lowered his head, looking a little sad.

Evan saw the show and hurriedly said: "Think about it, the only ones who can help you now are the Duke and I. If you have anything else to say, please say it as soon as possible."

Colonel Mel nodded slightly hesitantly, and said nothing more.

Evan looked at him like this, he couldn't stay any longer, he turned and left.

Mel definitely knows something, and Evan has a faint hunch in his heart. He always feels that there is something in Mel's words, but he looks like he won't spit out easily, so Duke Wilson still needs to come. That's good, Evan thought, maybe now only Duke Wilson can let Mel say everything he knows.

Evan left the interrogation room. When he first came out, Sheriff Chandler was standing at the door. Seeing Evan coming out, he hurriedly greeted him: "How is it? Did he say something?"

Looking at the anxious look on Sheriff Chandler's face, Evan shook his head helplessly: "No, Colonel Mel's tone is very strict." Evan thought a little depressed in his heart.

Sheriff Chandler couldn't help but feel a little disappointed: "What the **** is going on with this man! He has been in prison and is still so stubborn." Sheriff Chandler scratched the back of his head in annoyance, although he was a little rude , but it can still be seen that Colonel Mel has reservations, so he pinned his hopes on Evan, but now it seems that even Evan has little effect.

Evan looked at him like this, his heart moved slightly, and whispered: "Why don't you ask Duke Wilson to come over?"

For Evan's idea, Sheriff Chandler frowned and shook his head: "No, this matter is too closely related to Duke Wilson, and rumors will inevitably come out when he comes. I don't want the Duke to be dragged into this sort of thing in the end."

Although Sheriff Chandler had simply arrested Mel in front of Duke Wilson before, he was still a man of this era, and he could be regarded as the most conservative gentleman of this era. For nobles, Especially noble nobles still have natural respect.

Evan lowered his head and pursed his lips. Sheriff Chandler's words made sense. Now is indeed not the best time for Duke Wilson to intervene.

"Okay, in that case, I want to visit Mrs. Mel." Evan thought a lot. Looking at today's situation, Colonel Mel still has a trace of guilt and concern for Mrs. Mel. If Mrs. Mel can come over, she might be able to pry Colonel Mel's tongue.

Sheriff Chandler frowned, but he also thought of Evan's meaning, but he didn't give any hope for it. A man who can betray his wife without saying a word, he doesn't believe that he can still tell Mel Madam has any lingering feelings.

"Go if you want, but... ugh..." Sheriff Chandler couldn't help sighing, this matter has now reached a very tense point, and he continues to make a breakthrough , to break the current impasse.

Evan could see Sheriff Chandler's anxiety, but he just smiled: "Don't worry, the truth will come out no matter what, it's just a matter of time."

"Yeah." Sheriff Chandler couldn't help but let out a wry smile: "You're right, but unfortunately the thing I'm missing the most right now is events. If there's no breakthrough in this matter within a week, only I am afraid that someone from Scotland Yard will come, and not only me, but also my boss will be punished, so he has forced me very hard these days, Pastor Bruce, you have helped me so many times, this time please Help me too." Sheriff Chandler looked at Evan worriedly.

Evan was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "You are too modest, I just did some trivial things, these are the results of your efforts..."

"No, no." Before Evan's words were finished, Sheriff Chandler stopped him with a wry smile and waved his hand: "I know very well that you have helped me, and I am very grateful in my heart. Your help and your humility have made you a noble gentleman, but it cannot erase your achievements."

Evan looked at Sheriff Chandler with a serious look, and was speechless for a while, and finally he shook his head and smiled.

**

After leaving the police station, Evan walked towards the Mel family's manor. All the way, he was thinking about how to communicate with Mrs. Mel, but when he arrived at Colonel Mel's manor, he However, he found that all the preparations he had made before seemed a little redundant.

When he went, Mrs. Meyer was throwing her hair down and throwing up beside the bed in her dressing gown.

When the butler led Evan into Mrs. Mel's room, he saw this scene.

"Pastor Bruce." Mrs. Mel looked at Evan with a pale face, and the corner of her mouth tickled reluctantly.

Evan felt a little weird in his heart, but on the surface he still smiled at Mrs. Mel as usual, and was about to speak, when he saw the cross necklace on Mrs. Mel's neck that had just fallen outside the dressing gown.

But before Evan could see it clearly, Mrs. Mel quickly put the cross into her clothes, and there was a hint of panic on her face.

Evan couldn't help frowning. The cross just now seemed...something was wrong.

But Evan, who had been meeting for a while, couldn't tell what was wrong, and finally he could only smile and say: "Are you all right?"

Mrs. Mel smiled absentmindedly, but couldn't help but glance at Evan out of the corner of her eyes.

"It's fine." She replied anxiously, "I'm just... just a little tired." She pursed her dry lips.

"You can't do this." Evan looked at Mrs. Mel with a serious expression, only to see Mrs. Mel flustered: "You look so bad now, you need treatment, you asked come over?"

Speaking of this, the butler who was standing behind Evan couldn't help it: "Madam has always been reluctant to ask a doctor, and we don't know what happened to Madam until now, Madam, just listen. Reverend Bruce, the pastor is a friend of the Colonel, and the Colonel will be worried if you look like this."

Speaking of the Colonel, Mrs. Meyer's face grew paler and her crystal eyes filled with tears: "Oh, oh, my poor Charlie."

Evan was a little surprised for a while, no matter what, the word "poor" didn't match Colonel Mel, and it was said from Melv's mouth.

Aware of her gaffe, Mrs. Mel immediately stopped, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said in a low voice: "Yes... I'm sorry, I lost my gaffe. Well then, please... just ask the doctor Come here."

The housekeeper couldn't help but glanced at Mrs. Mel and said, "Madam, are you asking for Dr. Hester?"

Mrs. Mel nodded casually, her eyes slightly uncertain: "Yes, it's Dr. Hester, just invite him over."

From beginning to end, Evan didn't speak, just stood by and observed Mrs. Mel's every move.

The housekeeper immediately took orders to go out, but Evan still stood in the distance, his expression was very calm, and he had no intention of leaving.

Mrs. Mel felt a little uncomfortable, she clenched her slender fingers slightly, bit her lip and said, "Mr. Pastor, I am really grateful for your visit today, but it will not delay your affairs in the church. ?"

Evan raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled: "Don't worry, no, I and Colonel Mel are good friends, and I came to see you today for him. I can only reply to him if you are well. "

"You, have you met Charlie?" Mrs. Mel looked at Evan with excitement.

Evan hooked his lips slightly: "Yes, I just saw it."

"Then...then is he okay?" Mrs. Mel's eyes flashed with anticipation.

Evan looked at her like this, but a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes.

"He's fine, he's just a little worried about you." Evan said softly.

Listening to Evan's words, Mrs. Mayer seemed to be caught in some warm memory, with a silly smile on her face. She lowered her head and bit her lip, with a soft smile at the corners of her eyes: "Please tell him that I'm fine and that he must take care of himself."

"Okay, I see." Evan said solemnly.

He suddenly felt that he didn't understand women a little. A woman could still be so infatuated after her husband betrayed him. I really don't know if she really loved him too much, or if she was really stupid.

At this time, the butler had brought Dr. Hester up, Evan looked slightly shocked and looked towards the door.
