Guidebook for the Dark Duke Chapter 13: Introduction

"Please wait a moment." Evan suppressed the surging laughter 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 and my uncle didn't have the courage to face him directly, if...if you could tell him some of the church I believe that Mrs. Sanders will not reject my uncle's kindness." Sheriff Chandler touched the back of his head, smiling a little silly.

Evan sighed deeply and stroked his forehead: "Sheriff Chandler, you are really going to give me a problem, if Mrs. Sanders found out, she would kill me. "

"How could that be? My good pastor." Sheriff Chandler immediately said excitedly when he saw the drama, "Mrs. Sanders has been single for so many years, and it would be a beauty to have a good man who can take care of her. Isn't that right?"

Evan thinks about this in his mind. Mrs. Sanders doesn't do him any good with a straight face all day long. It would be a good idea to be softer because of the family.

"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 let your uncle, Bring the holy water and idols given by the church to Mrs. Sanders." Evan said with an embarrassed expression.

Sheriff Chandler immediately became happy when he heard this, he patted Evan on the shoulder vigorously and said, "I knew you had a lot of ideas, it's great, now I can get rid of the terrible yearly horror. It's Christmas."

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

**

That night, Evan and Sheriff Chandler were ambushed in the hallway of Sheriff Chandler's house. Since this person can throw an anonymous letter on Arya once, she can't this time. Sit back and watch Arya escape.

They waited from nine o'clock to midnight. Evan was so sleepy he couldn't keep his eyes open. He even thought that the man was impossible to come, but when the clock struck three times, Sheriff Chandler's house There was a sudden sound at the door.

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

"Amy, what about 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 and turned to run.

Sheriff Chandler stepped forward and grabbed her by the shoulder: "There are police officers around here, Amy, I advise you not to act rashly!" His voice was low and solemn, almost unlike his usual 's 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 flinched like she had been electrocuted. She didn't even dare to look at Sheriff Chandler, she looked down at her feet, as if there were 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're 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 with a heavy expression.

Amy kept her head down 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 Zhang Huang 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 I've seen this before. "

Amy's whole body suddenly trembled, and she looked at Evan with a look of extreme fear, as if he was about to speak the devil's whisper next.

"I've seen the exact same lace ribbon on Miss Arya's head, Amy, tell me, why is this one-of-a-kind headband that John brought back from London 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. At this time, he 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 Arya again It's exactly the same, miss."

Sheriff Chandler sighed deeply when he heard this. He took the smelling salt from Evan's hand and whispered to the police officer who came over: "Send this lady back to the police station. , interrogation tomorrow morning."

The 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 then Lawrence's family recruited someone and she left, and I 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 terrible."

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

The sheriff nodded with deep emotion, and then glanced at Evan with a grateful face: "Mr. Pastor, thank you very much this time. If it weren't for you, this case would not have been brought to light so quickly."

"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 your interrogation tomorrow, I will not waste your time now, I want to go back Rest, or Mrs Hayden will bring the raw fish directly to the table."

Sheriff Chandler couldn't help but laugh: "Mrs. Haydn's cooking skills are well-known in Derain Riel, just like her bad temper, Mr. Reverend, you are such a gentle person."

Evan waved his hand with a smile, turned and left Sheriff Chandler's house.

**

Sheriff Chandler started the interrogation of Amy early the next morning. He also invited Evan to join him. Evan got up early in the morning and received a lot of scorn from Mrs. Haydn. In order to get rid of this predicament, he Agreed immediately.

By the time he got to the police station, the interrogation had been going on for a while, but it was clear that it didn't pay off because Amy didn't say a word from start to finish, she just looked pale and lowered her head Head, hands tightly pressed against belly.

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." Sheriff Chandler said about the punishment. There was a clear look of disgust in his 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 am afraid that there will be worries for her life. ."

Hearing Evan say this, Amy shuddered.

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 didn't 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 have anything to say? ?"

Amy suddenly 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 could she kill little John?"

Amy's eyes burst into large drops of tears, which wetted her white greasy cheeks and her dress: "She doesn't deserve to be a lady at all! Master John loves her so much, He even rejected a better lady because of her, but she stepped on his heart and hurt his heart severely, poor young master John, it's all because of her, and it's all because of her!"

Sheriff Chandler frowned instantly. He stared at Emily and asked sharply, "Rejection? Fallen? What the **** did John do?"

Amy closed her mouth like a frightened bunny with a look of annoyance 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 forever!"

Amy protested loudly: "It's not fair! I can't stay in this place! Why don't you go get 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, don't you have any suspicion?"

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

As soon as these words came out, the entire interrogation room fell silent.
