Guidebook for the Dark Duke Chapter 37: Church visitors


"You...you..." Duke Wilson was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say.

Evan looked at his embarrassed and excited eyes, his eyes soft like a lake, and whispered: "I told you before that love is the most wonderful thing in this world, and we don't have any of them. One can predict where he comes from and where he will go, and I never underestimate the power of love, nor will I easily judge the right or wrong of love.”

Evan said the most high-sounding words, which may be the most basic understanding of people in his era, but for the duke in such an era, it was not a thunderbolt, which made him a little stunned.

He doesn't mind the feeling.

This is unbelievable for Duke Wilson.

He looked straight at Evan and was speechless for a while.

Evan looked at Duke Wilson's dazed look, and couldn't help but smile in his heart, but a look of doubt appeared on his face: "Lord Duke? What's the matter with you?"

Duke Wilson suddenly reacted, and his expression was slightly embarrassed for a while. He turned his face and glanced out of the window, his eyes wandering and said: "No... It's okay."

Evan looked at him like this, and his heart was even more happy. Although the duke looked indifferent, this awkward character was quite interesting.

"That's good, but I don't know what this has to do with Rael?" Evan immediately brought the topic to business.

Duke Wilson was a little unresponsive at first, but after a few minutes, he understood what Evan meant, and his expression became a little contemptuous.

"You don't know yet, the reason why Johnson dared to embezzle so much property is for this Rael, Rael is a vain and willful young man, Mr. Johnson is to hang his young lover, The money to be spent is naturally more, he is just a lawyer and earns only 400 to 500 pounds a year, how can he satisfy someone like Rael with a high heart.”

Evan looked at Duke Wilson with some surprise: "Mr. Johnson is so confused?"

Duke Wilson hooked his lips with some disdain: "Johnson looked shrewd, but he was dazzled by beauty. That kid Rael was just a high-level courtesan, but he was regarded as a treasure, and it is no wonder that he was abandoned in the end. I heard that he wanted to run away with Rael with my check, but he didn’t think Rael didn’t want to entangle with someone like him who had no money and no status, so even rejecting him eventually led to Johnson’s death.”

Duke Wilson said clearly, but Evan couldn't help frowning: "So what is the cause of Mr. Johnson's death?"

Duke Wilson couldn't help sneering when he heard this, but he still brought the tea bowl beside the bed to Evan first, watched him take a sip, and then said: "Sheriff Chandler This matter is very important, as you know, Sheriff Chandler is a very upright man, and he is also very contemptuous when such a thing happens, and Mr. Johnson died after arguing with Mr. Rael. Yes, so Sheriff Chandler turned his attention to Rael."

Evan listened to Duke Wilson's words and couldn't help laughing bitterly. This is really what Sheriff Chandler can do.

"Does Mr. Sheriff have any evidence?" Evan asked tentatively.

Duke Wilson wrinkled his nose and looked a little unsightly: "At that time, Mr. Johnson had a dispute with Rael, and he may have said some extreme words, which were seen by eyewitnesses..."

Duke Wilson didn't say anything later, but Evan could think of the follow-up. Although Sheriff Chandler is very upright, but because he is too upright, sometimes he is a little pedantic.

"Has Sheriff Chandler detained that Mr. Rael?" Evan asked unintentionally.

Duke Wilson didn't care, and replied casually: "Of course, Sheriff Chandler arrested him immediately. I'm afraid the interrogation has already begun."

Evan pursed his lips. He had expected this result.

Duke Wilson secretly glanced at Evan at this time. He was sitting beside the bed, and the autumn sun shone on his face, making him more gentle and holy. He looked at Evan with his eyes lowered, The slender eyelashes cast a shadow under the eyelashes, and Duke Wilson suddenly felt a little turbulent for some reason.

At this moment, Evan suddenly raised his head, and Duke Wilson was startled and turned his head quickly, daring to look at him again.

Evan was also stunned by Duke Wilson's actions. He glanced at the unnatural Duke. Although he had some guesses in his heart, he didn't ask any more questions, but he was secretly delighted and whispered. Said: "That's good, I hope Mr. Sheriff can find out about this matter."

Duke Wilson smiled stiffly, and then echoed a few words, but his whole person was still a little unnatural, and the atmosphere between the two was slightly awkward.

In the end, Duke Wilson couldn't sit still, so he said goodbye. Watching Duke Wilson walk away, Evan's heart was 80% settled at once, so he focused on Duke Wilson's performance in the past few days, his plan Eighty percent has been achieved.

Evan lowered his eyebrows, looked at Rael's extremely beautiful face in the newspaper, and sneered, he really did not see this man wrong, he really is an idiot, with this IQ, I'm afraid even Mrs. Johnson can play However, to even dare to learn from others to calculate family wealth, it is really too long for life.

Evan's life became very peaceful after that. Sheriff Chandler was stumped by the Johnson case and couldn't spare his time to pay attention to Evan. Mrs. Sanders was even more troubled by the church. I can't wait to conjure up eight hands, that honest assistant priest is obviously not suitable for a cathedral like Delan Lier, and many things are handled by Mrs. Sanders.

Because of the busy relationship between these two people who have the best relationship with Evan, Evan's days at Cornwall Manor have become more clean. He usually reads books, chats with the Duke, and then pays attention to the case. The progress of the processing, other Evans basically don't even need to ask.

But it was such a life, but it was broken by one person.

On the afternoon when Evan could get out of bed and walk around, someone from the church finally came.

He was brought directly to Cornwall Manor by Mrs Sanders, when Evan was having afternoon tea in the garden, and Duke Wilson was sitting across from Evan, talking to him with a smile, at this time The man, led by Mrs. Sanders and a valet, walked towards Evan and Duke Wilson along the rose bushes.

Evan squinted at the person who came, the man was very tall, almost a foot taller than Mrs. Sanders, he looked only about thirty years old, his appearance was very ordinary, but the temperament between his eyebrows But he is very refined and looks like a normal gentleman indeed.

But Evan's heart sank sharply when he looked at this man.

When he took over this body before, he also accepted the memory of this body. If Evan remembers correctly, Evan knows this man.

As expected, after the visitor stepped forward, he first saluted Duke Wilson, then turned to look at Evan, smiling very gently: "Bruce, when I first heard this name I just guessed it was you, but I didn't expect it to be true."

Evan looked at this man and couldn't help laughing. If he remembered correctly, there was absolutely no good relationship between this man and the original owner.

"Senior Ferd, long time no see, you are still the same as before."

What Evan said was polite and restrained, and there was hardly any excess emotion overflowing, but even so, Duke Wilson, who was sitting on the side, suddenly seemed to be touched by something, and the string in his heart suddenly Just stretched.

He straightened his back, and looked at the mild-mannered Ferd with a little wariness, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Folder still looked at Evan with a smile, and whispered: "Junior Bruce, you are very different from before."

Evan's heart sank, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Really, after all, it has been so long."

Folder looked at Evan with a deep meaning in his eyes: "Yeah, it's really been too long."

"How long?" Duke Wilson asked immediately, unwilling to be excluded from the two.

Ford was a little stunned by the Duke's question for a while, and then turned to look at Duke Wilson, who was sitting on the side with a wary expression. He raised his eyebrows, as if he knew something, and tickled sarcastically. The corners of his lips curled up and he said in a low voice, "It's probably been eight years, Lord Duke." After that, he glanced at Evan again: "What do you think? Junior Brother Bruce?"

Evan tried his best to maintain his expression and nodded slightly: "It seems so, your memory is very good."

Just now he quickly sorted out his memory. This Foerde indeed played a large part in the original owner's life. Back then, when Evan was still in public school, he met this senior, Foerer. De is the youngest son of the Earl's family, and he has an outstanding family background and is very influential in school, and Evan is just the son of a squire, how can he compare to Ferd.

So he used his little cleverness to get involved with this nobleman, but he didn't expect that this person had some kind of indescribable affection for Evan. The original owner was a straight and straight man. Naturally, it was impossible to respond to this feeling. On the contrary, he was frightened, and immediately fled the senior, and trampled his feelings severely, said a lot of terrible things, and spread the matter out. Evan doesn't know, but he also knows that the result will not be very good.

Duke Wilson couldn't stand the way Ferd looked at Evan. He always felt that something he couldn't grasp began to spread in Evan, and he hated this feeling very much.

"Mr. Ferd, are you sent by the church to handle the church's accounts?" Duke Wilson ignored the undercurrents between the two and immediately opened up the topic simply and rudely.

Folder glanced at Duke Wilson, smiled meaningfully, and whispered: "Yes, this is the purpose of my visit, but I heard Mrs. Sanders say that the culprit in this matter Already confirmed?"

The person he asked was Evan, but Duke Wilson did not give Evan any chance to speak, and immediately said: "It is indeed found, but he is also dead."

Ford was stunned for a moment, and Mrs. Sanders didn't have time to tell him about it.
