Guidebook for the Dark Duke - Chapter 119
“Why?” Sheriff Chandler stared at Colonel Mel and Eliza: “Why would you do such a terrible thing?” He murmured in disbelief .
Colonel Mel hugged Eliza tightly, and seemed to be amused by Sheriff Chandler’s question, and hooked his lips mockingly.
“Why? Don’t you think it’s funny to ask this at this time?” He seemed to give up at this time, and his expression was completely undisguised indifference and sarcasm.
“If I’m going to be with Eliza, someone has to sacrifice. Do you think it would be so easy for a nun to leave the church?”
Sheriff Chandler looked at him with a very complicated expression.
Evan chuckled at this time: “You killed poor Mrs. Mayer to be with Mother Eliza, is this what you call sacrifice?”
Colonel Meyer turned to look at Evan with an apparent cold indifference.
“She’s just a hillbilly from a small place. I gave her status and wealth. Of course she has to pay something.”
His cruel words made Sheriff Chandler’s heart that was on the verge of rage burst out. He rushed to Colonel Mel, raised his collar viciously, and punched him on his stomach.
“Scumbag!” He cursed fiercely.
Colonel Mel suddenly curled up in pain, clutching his throbbing abdomen, and he couldn’t stand up straight.
“You are such a beastly person, I misunderstood you before!” Sheriff Chandler cursed with disgust.
Colonel Mel laughed at this time: “Hahahahaha…”
His laughter was so exaggerated that everyone couldn’t help but look at him.
“Sheriff Chandler.” He turned to look at the sheriff: “The world is like this, what’s wrong? If my crimes are not exposed today, Then in your heart I am still the respectable colonel, and my wife is still a poor Katrina, and you condemn me like this only because my crime was discovered, but you How do you know if there is someone else whose crimes you may never find out in your life.”
When he said this, he glanced at Duke Wilson, who was standing behind Evan with a heavy face, and felt very heavy in his heart. Maybe others didn’t know the character of the Duke, but he was better than anyone else. be clear.
Sergeant Chandler didn’t notice Colonel Mel’s little move, he still gave him a contemptuous look and said coldly: “I advise you to put away your rhetoric, what you committed Crime, enough for you to be hanged.”
For Sheriff Chandler’s blatant intimidation, Colonel Mayer seemed to have not heard, and his face was as usual.
Evan looked at him like this and couldn’t help but smile: “Mr. Sheriff, I think in this matter, you still can’t forget Mother Eliza, as I said In the same way, Colonel Mel had an alibi before Mrs. Mel was killed, but Mother Eliza did not. Who killed the poor Mrs. Mel, I’m afraid there is another world. “
As soon as Evan said these words, Eliza, who was curled up in Colonel Mel’s arms, couldn’t help but flinch, and Colonel Mel also hurriedly stood up and said coldly: “Pastor Bruce, you don’t need to sow discord anymore. It is indeed me who killed Katrina, and it has nothing to do with Eliza.”
His anxious appearance made him even more suspicious. Sheriff Chandler looked at the weak Eliza suspiciously, as if he didn’t believe it.
“Are you sure? Pastor Bruce?” He couldn’t help but ask.
Evan nodded, and there was a dark glint in his eyes: “If you investigate deeply, you will find that during the period of Mrs. Mel’s death, Colonel Mel was going to A peasant on Abbey Road, because of his sudden kindness, helped a poor peasant out of the rent-chasing of a small squire.”
When he said these words, Evan’s eyes kept staring at Colonel Mel’s movements, watching him frown, and couldn’t help sneering in his heart, he was not such a noble person , but he did treat Colonel Mel as a good friend before. He exonerates him for him, not only for Duke Wilson, but also because of his self-righteous friendship, but he did not expect that he would suffer such a betrayal in the end.
Evan will never let anyone who treats him like this easily let go.
“Although…even so…” Colonel Mel’s face showed a trace of annoyance: “But am I going to do this kind of thing myself? This is what I asked Edson to do, with Eliza has nothing to do with it.”
“Ederson?” Evan looked at Colonel Mel with a sneer: “Before the Duke and I came back, I believe you did not bribe Mr. Ederson, Mr. Ederson is your The scapegoat, I believe that you would not involve him in this matter so early, otherwise, in Mr. Edson’s knowledge, he will never cooperate with you, and the reason why he will be in your office in the end He committed suicide under coercion, just because he completely lost the trust of the duke and had nowhere to go, and his son’s illness was completely hopeless, so he came back into your trap, not to mention…” Evan looked at Colonel Mel. He smiled and said the most important part of this matter.
“What’s more, if you can really buy Mr. Edson so easily, why would you design such a complicated game, wouldn’t it be easier to let Mr. Edson kill and be arrested? “
Colonel Mel seemed to have suffered some kind of heavy blow after hearing this, and the originally straight back collapsed completely.
“You…you…” He pointed at Evan with trembling hands, his face was pale, and he couldn’t say a word for a while.
Sheriff Chandler finally reacted at this time, and looked at Eliza, who was shrinking in Colonel Mel’s arms, in disbelief.
“This…” He was a little stagnant for a while, he couldn’t believe that the person who did such a terrible thing would be such a weak lady, think about the corpse again The tragic situation, Sheriff Chandler couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart, this is simply… simply…
“
Colonel Mel refused to admit it, but Evan just sneered. The more serious Colonel Mel denied, the more true it could only be.
“Charlie.”
Suddenly a cold female voice came from Colonel Mel’s arms.
Everyone was attracted by this voice and looked into Colonel Mel’s arms.
Elysa slowly raised her head, the tears in her eyes that made people feel distressed are gone now, the only thing left is the boundless desertion.
“Charlie, don’t say any more.” She seemed to be enduring some kind of pain, a struggle flashed on her face: “I did that thing.” She slowly said this sentence out.
Colonel Mel’s face changed suddenly, grabbed Eliza’s arm, and said sharply, “What nonsense are you talking about!”
Elysa turned to look at Colonel Mel, but with a bleak smile on her lips: “Charlie, don’t hide it for me, I want to tell this.” She His face was soft like a warm spring sun, but there was desolation and sadness hidden in his eyes.
Colonel Mel pursed his lips in pain, as if he wanted to say something, as if there was some kind of emotion brewing in his chest, but he didn’t say a word in the end, slowly released his hand.
Elysa turned to look at Sheriff Chandler again, she raised her hand and stroked the broken hair behind her ear, revealing the earlobe she had been covering, There is a red mole that looks unusually dazzling against the imprint of the fair complexion.
“This is the only difference between me and Katrina.” Eliza whispered: “I have a mole on my earlobe, but she doesn’t. She lost her face, only in this way will no one pay attention, why her earlobes are rotten.”
She said such cruel words, but the expression on her face was still gentle and pure.
“I thought the same at the beginning, you know? From the time Charlie told me about the plan, I was very opposed to it. I don’t think we should treat a poor woman like this. It’s so cruel.” Maybe thinking of something, she couldn’t help but smile.
“But as this matter went on, I found that my mood changed.” She looked straight into the void, as if she could see something from there.
“It’s clear that Charlie loves me, but it’s Katrina who is in love with him, and it’s Katrina who gets his endless tenderness. Katrina, and I can only hide in that little monastery, in that dark corner, Yu Yu walks alone, why? Why?” Her tears streamed down his pale cheeks, only At this time, she is not as weak as before, and what is left is pure sadness and endless pain: “It’s clear that the person he loves the most… it’s me!”
She said these words like a complaint, making everyone present silent.
“So, when I was in the face of her cold body, I told myself, I was so that no one would notice the difference between us, but when her blood splashed on my face When I was on the show, I found out that I had been looking forward to this day, looking forward to killing her, killing the person who took my status, my love, my identity!” Eliza’s face changed. She was going crazy, the deepest darkness was hidden in her eyes.
Evan looked at her silently without saying a word, but Sheriff Chandler was already shocked at this time. He couldn’t do anything impolite to a lady, so in the end , can only ask in a trembling voice: “You… are you crazy?”
Elysa raised her head sharply to look at Sheriff Chandler, she curled the corner of her mouth, as if she wanted to laugh, but the tears on her face and the madness in her eyes made her ‘s expression became quite bizarre.
“I should be crazy.” She replied softly, “I should have been crazy for so many years in that place.”
“Eliza.” Colonel Mel hugged Eliza from behind, he buried his head tightly in Eliza’s neck, his face seemed to flash with sorrow: ” Don’t say it anymore, Eliza, it’s all gone, it’s all gone…” He muttered in a soothing tone.
Evan looked at this scene, his eyes flashed with light that others could not understand, he turned around and whispered: “I want to leave this place.”
After he finished speaking, he strode out.
