“You..What nonsense are you talking about?” Colonel Mel protected the pale-faced Mrs Mel, and said loudly with a stiff expression.

Evan ignored Colonel Mel and stared at Mrs Mel, who was hiding behind Colonel Mel.

“Madam, your identity is not a mystery to me now, are you sure you want to deny it to the end?” When Evan said this, the expression on his face was almost mean.

Mrs Mel didn’t dare to look into Evan’s eyes at all. She lowered her head and pursed her lips, her hands trembled slightly and she seemed a little nervous.

“I..I..” She stuttered with trembling lips.

“Stop talking, Katrina!” Colonel Mel interrupted Mrs Mel’s speech, and said sharply, “This matter has nothing to do with you!”

He looked at Mrs Mel firmly, with the most severe eyes.

Mrs Mel looked at him, but her eyes were filled with tears, “Charlie!” She cried, “You can’t..”

“Shut up, Katrina!” Colonel Mel hugged the trembling Mrs Mel, “Don’t talk, you just have to be good.” He whispered in her ear and Mrs. Mel cried even harder.

Looking at this scene, Evan clapped his hands. There was a deep look of sarcasm on his face, which was completely different from his usual upright and selfless appearance. Not only Duke Wilson, but even Sheriff Chandler also looked at him with some doubt.

“It’s a show full of affection, Colonel.” Evan’s tone was full of sarcasm, “You are so affectionate, does the real Mrs Mel who was killed by you know?” Evan’s words were so horrifying that Sheriff Chandler was immediately attracted by his words, completely forgetting his unusual performance today.

“What did you say?” He stood up suddenly, “The dead person is Mrs Mel? What’s going on?” He finally asked this sentence.

Evan looked back at the bewildered Sheriff Chandler and the expression on his face finally calmed down a bit. He glanced at the bunch of wild mandarin ducks indifferently, and said with a sneer, “I’m afraid we’ve fallen into Colonel Mel’s despicable conspiracy from the very beginning.”

He paused slightly, looked around at the people present and when he glanced at Duke Wilson’s slightly puzzled face, his heart tightened. He never thought that he would be the one who would expose his own true colors. He clenched his fists and took a deep breath.

“Colonel Mel’s initial focus on himself, his unusual relationship with Sister Elisa and Mr Ederson’s concealment of his predicament all served to bring the matter to a close. And the other person involved will be hidden.” When Evan said this, he looked at Mrs Mel who was hiding behind Colonel Mel, no, she should be called Sister Elisa.

“Colonel Mel exposed himself to everyone, but in fact he is a person with an alibi. This point has been well hidden by his design and he will bring it up when the time is right. Speaking of it, this is also a perfect plan. Even a scapegoat had been found. Poor Mr Ederson is the best scapegoat. It’s a pity that he didn’t expect that the duke and I would come back from London so soon.”

When he said this, Evan took a deep look at Colonel Mel. Their early arrival was actually not unexpected but there was a plan for the worst case scenario, so Colonel Mel had told him his big secret before he left for London. This is Colonel Mel’s last insurance for this matter.

“The Duke and I came back early. He knows very well that Ederson cannot be used to deal with me and my attention is focusing more and more on Mrs Mel at this time, so he can only take the risk and use his most dangerous plan as a last resort.”

Evan looked at Colonel Mel with scorching eyes, with a hint of coldness in his eyes, “That is to frame me.”

“Putting me into trouble and in such a bad predicament, most people can’t think rationally at this time, especially with my friend, Duke Wilson by my side. With his friendship to me, he will definitely be the first to investigate Colonel Mel’s own crimes, which is of course easy, so Colonel Mel would be pushed in front of us like this and the poor lady behind him will be completely forgotten by people, because everyone will think that the result of the investigation done by the Duke must be the most correct and no one will question it.”

When Evan said this passage, he was very calm, the previous sarcasm and indifference seemed to have completely disappeared. He changed back to the gentle and elegant priest, but Evan knew very well that Duke Wilson saw everything he did just now.

“You..this is really..” Sheriff Chandler was stunned by Evan’s words. He seemed to be unable to understand the situation before him. After a long time, he finally asked, “Then, why did you say that Mrs Mel is Sister Elisa? This is impossible, they have almost no similarities.”

Evan laughed, “You said you have seen Mrs Mel. Indeed, I have seen her, but I have seen that Mrs Mel is a devout Protestant and her cross necklace will definitely not have a crucifix like that of this Mrs Mel!”

Evan wasn’t aware when he saw at that time, it wasn’t until he knelt in front of the statue of Jesus that finally understood why he felt strange. Because the cross was the cross of the Catholic Church, and he isn’t as sensitive as a real priest would be so his reaction was dull. And why Mrs Mel didn’t come to the church afterwards seemed to have more meaning. For a reasonable explanation, a faithful Catholic will never walk into a Protestant church.

When Mrs Mel heard Evan’s words, she immediately covered her chest. Such an unconscious action made everyone present have complicated expressions.

Sheriff Chandler frowned and asked in a deep voice, “Is what Reverend Bruce said true? Ma’am, please let me check your cross. If you refuse, I will apply for enforcement.”

Mrs Mel’s face was completely pale at this time. She looked at Sheriff Chandler tremblingly, but she held onto Colonel Mel’s arm tightly, unable to speak a word.

Colonel Mel looked at Mrs Mel in a daze, and then smiled coldly, “Cross? Hahahahahahahahaha..” He looked up and laughed like a crazy person, “You still can’t let go of it until now. Is it your cross?” There was a hint of bitterness in his tone, and he looked at Mrs Mel sadly.

Mrs Mel also looked at Colonel Mel and tears welled up in her eyes, “Charlie, Charlie..” At this moment, it seemed that the only thing she could do was call out this name.

“Reverend Bruce.” Colonel Mel suddenly turned his head and looked at Evan with a cold expression, “My wife started to believe in religion halfway. I don’t think it’s ideal for you to use this kind of thing to prove that my wife is the dead nun, it’s really ridiculous. You have met my wife, can there be two identical people in this world like this?”

Evan knew that Colonel Mel would not give in easily. He chuckled softly, “Before this, I didn’t believe it, but after this incident, I didn’t dare to assert anything easily.” He waved his hand behind him, and gestured to Butler Chris, who came with them and Butler Chris went out. After a while, Butler Chris led a middle-aged nun in. She had kind eyes and looked like the most ordinary middle-aged woman in the world, but her sharp eyes and the rigid corners of her mouth made people know that she was not as gentle as she appeared on the surface.

“This is Dean Tracy from the monastery. I think among us, only she has the most say.” Evan said calmly.

The moment Dean Tracy came in, Colonel Mel’s expression changed. He thought that this old nun would be in the slums of Calcutta to keep company with the lowly poor, but now she appeared in front of him. in his living room, ready to testify against himself.

Dean Tracy glanced at Mrs Mel, who was hiding behind Mel with a timid expression, and said coldly with a hint of disgust and dissatisfaction in her eyes, “She is indeed Elisa.”

Her words were stiff and cold, as if without any emotion, which made everyone present feel a chill.

But Evan didn’t seem to be affected in any way. He smiled slightly and looked at the pale-faced Mrs Mel and Colonel Mel, “My dear lady, oh no, it should be my dear Sister Elisa, do you have anything else to say?”

Elisa froze completely at this moment, she didn’t seem to have much courage to face this stern nun.

“You..why did you come back?” She said, with a trace of despair in her tone, “Didn’t you say you wanted to go to Calcutta to fulfill your long-cherished wish? Why did you come back?”

Dean Tracy frowned with disgust. She wrinkled her nose, then returned to her usual indifference and said in a flat tone, “I was in Calcutta when I heard that you passed away, so I want to come back to see you.”

“See me?” Elisa laughed with a very weird expression on her face, “I always thought you hated me. You would give up your ideals for me? Don’t you know? If you don’t stay in Calcutta for a year this time, then the church will give up its promise to you, you will remain curled up in that small monastery forever, with no way out.”

“I know.” Compared to Elisa’s rich feelings, Sister Tracy is as cold as a stone, but with such a simple answer, Elisa was completely stunned. She looked at the man in front of her in disbelief, as if she was looking at some kind of monster.

“My mission is complete, may I leave?” Sister Tracy looked at Duke Wilson behind Evan and asked calmly.

At this time, Duke Wilson was also at a loss. Hearing her question, he just nodded indiscriminately. Sister Tracy nodded slightly, turned and left.

Sister Tracy’s departure seemed to inject a boost into the weird atmosphere in the living room and it boiled instantly.

“It’s actually true!” Sheriff Chandler looked at Colonel Mel and Elisa excitedly, “You two! You two are..shameful!” Sheriff Chandler held back for a long time, and finally such a word came out.

Colonel Mel had a cold face without any expression. Elisa was held tightly in his arms, with a sad look on her face.

Evan stood by and watched them but he only felt amused in his heart. He smiled and said, “What can Colonel Mel do? Elisa will never leave the church. If he wants to be with Elisa, it can only be done in such a way. Why do you think Colonel Mel married an ordinary lady? There are so many ladies crazy for him, but he ended up marrying someone who is nothing. Now you should know that he didn’t marry her for love, but for her face.”

Evan said with a smile, but the meaning of this sentence was so cold that it made people shiver.

T/N: I thought about it for a while, and I came to the realisation that such an inhuman thing can actually happen in real life. Humans can be worse than animals sometimes ????

I know I’ve said this before but I’ll say it again. Evan is better off being a detective than a priest. With his IQ, cunning and smarts, he would be extremely famous, not just in the kingdom.
