Guidebook for the Dark Duke

Chapter 100: nun doubts

    Duke Wilson frowned upon hearing Butler Chris's words: "What the **** is going on here?" Colonel Mel is considered to be his confidant, and now he is actually involved in the murder. This really surprised him.

      The relationship is very close. On the day Colonel Mel visited her, she was found dead in her bedroom, according to reports..." Speaking of which, Butler Chris's expression was slightly loose: "It is reported that her death was very tragic, Even the most experienced old coroner in our town has a heart."

    When Duke Wilson heard this, his expression became a little dignified. Colonel Mel was regarded as his confidant. If he was really involved in this case, it would be very difficult for him to do...

    "Okay, I understand, you immediately ask Mel to see me, and I have something to tell him." Duke Wilson's expression was a little dark, and it was useless to say anything now, he still Take precautions early.

     Butler Chris led the order to retreat, Evan and Duke Wilson got into the carriage in front, and little Edward was carried by the servants and sat in the carriage at the back.

    As soon as I got in the car, Evan couldn't help but said, "Charles, I know this Mother Eliza."

    "What?" Duke Wilson looked at Evan with some surprise. Although the nun belongs to the same church as the priest, the nun is Catholic and Evan is an authentic Protestant priest. Almost like fire and water.

    "Have you spoken to her before?" Duke Wilson looked at Evan with some curiosity. He did not expect that Evan, who has never been close to women, would actually know the nun.

    Evan couldn't help laughing bitterly: "No, it's not what you think, I heard Colonel Mel mention this nun before I went to London."

    "Mel?" Duke Wilson's frown deepened, what does Mel have to do with this matter: "Does he know this nun?"

    Evan sighed: "He doesn't even know this nun."

    Then he told Duke Wilson what Mel had asked him to do before, the Duke frowned for a long time, and finally said: "You think that mysterious man Who? Could it be Mel himself?"

    "I thought about this before." Evan whispered: "But you know, Colonel Mel thought he was married, I can't believe he would do Such an infamous thing."

    Telling a story under the pretext of a friend, Evan knew very well what it meant in his previous life, but now the poor nun is dead and visited by Colonel Mel. She died that day, such a coincidence, undoubtedly aggravated Colonel Mel's suspicion, and if he really did it, then it would be too sad.

    "You are so naive." Duke Wilson sneered: "Although in your Bible, such behavior is unethical and shameless, but in the eyes of the nobles, it is nothing at all. It's nothing, although Mel is a flexible mind and can be considered a self-cultivation, but if this kind of thing happens, maybe he will become overheated." Thinking of this, the Duke gritted his teeth secretly, if Colonel Mel was really involved After this, he will be ready.

    Evan looked at Duke Wilson thoughtfully, and said no more. He knew very well that someone like Duke Wilson would handle this matter properly .

    Duke Wilson's carriage finally stopped in front of Evan's parsonage. Evan was about to go down with his little salute, but was suddenly pulled by Duke Wilson.

    "Are you really not going to Cornwall Manor with me?" He looked at Evan expectantly, and his tone was as gentle as water.

    Evan couldn't help but feel a little numbness in his fingertips.

    "Charles." He stroked his side face with his other hand, and said softly: "You know, Derain is a small place, if you want to see me ,anytime."

    Duke Wilson knew the meaning of Evan's words very well, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He lowered his eyes and did not let go of Evan's hand.

    Evan looked at him and couldn't help but smile: "I know what you think, I also want to live with you, but I am still a pastor..." Speaking of which Evan stopped a little embarrassedly.

    But Duke Wilson raised his head suddenly, with a trace of anxiety in his eyes: "Don't be afraid, it's nothing, I will solve this matter, you can rest assured." He let go of Evan's arm and whispered, "Then we'll see you tomorrow."

    Evan looked at his tightly pursed lips, his heart moved slightly, suddenly lowered his head and kissed his forehead, then immediately turned around and got out of the carriage.

    He walked towards his slightly shabby hut, his face was calm as frost, but his heart was secretly excited because of his actions just now, although now is not the best time for them to live together, But Evan felt very satisfied to see Duke Wilson like this.

    At this time, Duke Wilson was sitting on the empty carriage, looking at the direction of Evan going down, he raised his hand and touched his forehead, the hot touch made him The palm of his hand shrank involuntarily, his lips were so soft, but he was so excited that he couldn't contain himself, and the whole person was like a fire burning inside.

    Duke Wilson finally returned to Cornwall Manor in a trance as he listened to the sound of hooves kicking and kicking outside the carriage.

    Little Edward was carried upstairs by the servants, while Duke Wilson was sitting in the empty living room, in a trance.

    After a quarter of an hour, Butler Chris finally walked in and looked at Duke Wilson, who was almost sluggish. report.

    "Lord Duke, Colonel Mel is here." Butler Chris tried his best to keep his tone in a very gentle range.

    Duke Wilson suddenly came back to his senses, pursed his lips unnaturally, and said, "Let him come to the study on the second floor." Turned upstairs.

    Butler Chris was a little strange about the Duke's attitude, but he didn't dare to say anything, and turned around and went out to spread the word.

    Duke Wilson also quickly adjusted his state in this short period of time, and when he heard the knock on the door outside the study, his mood had already recovered most of the time.

    "Come in." With Duke Wilson's slightly hoarse voice, Colonel Mel, led by Butler Chris, approached the Duke's study.

    It has been nearly a month since the Duke last saw him, but Duke Wilson was still taken aback by the state of Colonel Mel at this time, his pale cheeks, his dejected demeanor, There were strands of silver that came out of his hair, making Duke Wilson unable to believe that the person standing in front of him was actually the well-mannered Colonel Mel.

    "What's the matter with you?" Duke Wilson frowned habitually. No matter what he was involved in, Colonel Mel's state was too bad.

    "Your Excellency the Duke." Colonel Mel saluted the Duke honestly, but his slightly shaking body still showed his weakness: "I'm sorry to see you in such a state you."

    "Don't say that." Duke Wilson didn't bother to talk to him, and said directly: "What is your relationship with that nun?"

    "You already know." Colonel Mel twitched the corners of his mouth a little embarrassedly, without the slightest surprise on his face, Delan Lier was the territory of Duke Wilson, he never expected to cheat Through the eyes and ears of Duke Wilson.

    "Elysa is an old friend of mine, I really can't do something like this happen to her..." Colonel Mel suddenly buried his face in his palm, his tone slightly trembling.

    Looking at him like this, Duke Wilson's guess became more and more firm, he paused slightly and said: "The man you are talking about who is close to Mother Eliza, is it yourself? ?" He looked straight at Mel, not giving him any chance of prevarication.

    Colonel Mel was a little guilty at the sight of Duke Wilson. He knew that he could not lie in front of the Duke. It was a very dangerous thing, so he was not very strong at first. The line of defense collapsed at once.

    "Oh, Your Excellency, you're right, that's me, it's really embarrassing, I didn't expect... I didn't expect..." He answered loudly with a painful expression, and then He turned his face to the side before becoming more rude, but Duke Wilson still saw a sparkle in the corner of his eyes.

    "You are so confused!" Duke Wilson's voice was stern, and he did not feel weak because of Colonel Mel's truth.

    "You already have a wife, and the other is a nun, how can you do such an dishonorable thing!" Duke Wilson was like a grumpy lion at this time, and stood up from his chair Get up and walk around very anxiously.

    Colonel Mel's current situation is really dangerous, he is almost on the edge of a cliff, just one more step is afraid of doom.

    "Have you told the sheriff who is investigating this matter?" Duke Wilson asked him, turning his head sharply.

    Colonel Mel looked at Duke Wilson in confusion and moved his lips slightly: "No."

    The Duke's eyes turned cold for a moment, Colonel Mel saw that something was wrong, and immediately explained: "My Lord, it's not that I don't want to tell Sheriff Chandler, it's just that since Eliza died that day , he took me as a suspect, my wife, dear Katrina, has always been by my side to support me, how can I say these words? In fact, every time Sheriff Chandler comes to me , I want to tell him directly, how can I kill Eliza because I love Eliza so much? But every time I see Katrina's face, I really can't say that."

    Here, Colonel Mel's expression became even more painful.

      of weight.

      Do you think he will let you go easily? What stupid words like an old friend, you visited her Chande several times a week Can Le not be clear? As long as these are clear, will the relationship between you and her be as secret as you think?"

    Colonel Mel looked at Duke Wilson dully, as if at a loss.

    Duke Wilson frowned in disgust, never expecting Mel to be so stupid.

    "You can't hide this matter. If you tell him directly, you may be able to restore some of your image in his eyes..."

     Duke Wilson's voice was not finished when there was an eager knock on the door. Duke Wilson stepped forward to open the door, only to see Butler Chris appearing outside the door in a little panic.

    "Lord Duke, Sheriff Chandler is here to arrest Colonel Mel!"

    Duke Wilson's expression moved slightly, and he turned to look at Mel, only to find that his face was pale.
