Mr. Darcy realized that he had been looking at a young lady with an almost rude look, and stood up at once.

Emma keenly noticed his embarrassment, and smiled secretly at his innocence, her soft voice with a hint of hoarseness in the morning: "I really don't know how to thank you, Mr. Darcy." "Although Mr. Kentra and Mr. Darcy Sr. were good friends, Mr. Darcy had little dealings with Miss Kentra and Mr. Kentra Jr., and she was really touched by the fact that he could not hesitate to give unreserved help.

"No one with a sense of justice will stand idly by and watch such a thing. "For Mr. Darcy, it is not so much a selfless help as an obligation, a duty. After a moment's hesitation, Mr. Darcy decided to say something against his ears, given that Emma didn't have any relatives around who could give her advice. "With all due respect, your recklessness is too ill-conceived. Haven't you thought about what would happen if you fainted on a horse, and if you had a maid you could trust, why didn't you send her?"

"Lisa is not someone to be trusted. Emma sighed softly. "Lena is a servant I brought with me from Yorkshire, and Lisa was sent to be close to me when we arrived at Sworth Manor. I couldn't be sure if Lisa had been bought. It was only after she came back last night that she was sure that she had received the benefit of ten pounds from Lena. "She doesn't trust any of the servants in this manor. The reason why I found Lisa is only because Lisa's brain is quite flexible, and her weaknesses are more obvious. In addition to the ten pounds, she had guessed that there were other things stolen from the manor in Lisa's house. When she looked through the memories of the original Kentra Emma, she realized that this Lisa might not have clean hands and feet. If she wasn't lucky enough to scare Lisa last night, she could go to someone else.

Mr. Darcy frowned. "She has sold her soul to the devil when she betrayed her master, and such a person is not worthy of being entrusted with secrets. Mr. Darcy thought that Lisa had confessed to Emma when she saw that he had brought someone to her, fearing that it would be exposed, and Emma relented and forgave her.

Emma certainly knew what Mr. Darcy meant. "Lisa didn't know I was the one to ask for. I told her that I had a trusted servant who had gone to Bloomberg for help, but needed to gain Clark's trust, so I had to find a replacement. Lisa's father was an alcoholic, and she begged the housekeeper to keep her in order to support her younger brother. May the Lord forgive me for my unavoidable lies. Emma seemed a little embarrassed, lowered her eyes and whispered: "I said that I already knew about her accepting Lena's money from her brother, but I could not pursue it, and promised to let my brother go to school in the future." ”

Although she was smart, Miss Emma's heart was a little too soft, Mr. Darcy thought secretly. He has also seen some such people after he became the master of Bloomberg, who have no moral concept and are mercenary. If you want to take advantage of them, mere inducement is not enough, it will only feed their appetite and make them more and more greedy. Mr. Darcy decided to send someone to Lisa's house to search for the ten pounds at once, and with this evidence, he did not have to worry about Lisa blackmailing Emma again.

Seeing Mr. Darcy's solemn expression, Emma flipped through the long task list in her mind and ticked the box next to "find a way for Mr. Darcy to send someone to search Lisa's house". Of course, she could make a request directly, just as she had asked Lieutenant Colonel Fitzwilliam to search Mrs. Richard's house. But that time it was to find evidence that Clark had framed Mr. Kentera Jr. and submit it to the court, and this time it was to secretly hold Lisa's weakness. In order not to leave the impression of being cold and thoughtful, it is better to let Mr. Darcy take the initiative to do it. "Mr. Darcy, is my brother okay?"

"When I arrived last night, Mr. Kentera Jr. was very excited, and only one servant stood guard over him outside the door. I promised him that I would find out the truth and put him to a fair trial. He calmed down and assured me that he would never commit a father-killing act. The day before yesterday, Mr. Kentras sent a letter to him telling him to return home at 3 p.m. yesterday. He went to the study to look for Mr. Kentera, knocked on the door several times and received no response, and when he pushed the door open, he saw that Mr. Kentra had been killed. His mind was blank at the time, and he only thought about □□ the sword, but as soon as he □□, he heard the exclamations of Clark and Judge Wilson, and then he was arrested. He asked me to convey to you that he was not mistreated, and sooner or later the law will prove his innocence and reassure you. ”

Emma has a headache. Fortunately, if Clark had found a servant who pretended to pour him a cup of poisoned wine or wanted to assassinate him, he would have knocked the servant down and run out, and a servant outside the door would not have stopped him. On the way to escape, a casual "accident" can make him die on the charge of killing his father. But it's hard to protect himself and still think about his sister, which makes Emma have a good impression of him. "My poor brother. Me, can I go see him?"

The request was reasonable, and Mr. Darcy would not refuse, and promised to take Emma to her brother after breakfast. Unfortunately, before Emma had finished her freshening, she heard that the parish police officer had arrived.

The police officer is here. Emma looked at the refreshed girl in the mirror and frowned, her body was fine, but she had a rejection reaction after drinking poppy-mixed wine last night, and she felt refreshed after sleeping. But such an image is clearly not suitable for meeting police officers.

After a long time, poor Miss Emma came down from upstairs. She was pale, her eyes were slightly swollen, and her lips were bloodless, and she looked like a young girl who had just suffered a misfortune and was grieving. Lisa followed closely behind her, whispering the latest developments for her: "This case involves Lord Earl, so it needs to be brought to the Circuit Court." In the morning, the parish police officers came to verify that the young master was still the most suspicious, but the young master was still the heir to the title before he was convicted, so after discussion, they decided not to be detained in the detention center, but temporarily left three police officers to guard the young master. Now everyone has been forbidden to approach it. The doctor Mr. Darcy brought in diagnosed you with an overdose of poppy, and both Lena and Mrs. Richard were taken in for questioning as poisoning suspects. During a search of Lena's room, a letter was found in the soil of the flower pot, but it is unclear what exactly it was. Lena seemed shocked to see the letter. ”

Emma curled the corners of her mouth triumphantly. Lena must have been shocked, because she should have destroyed the original letter. It's a pity that Lena didn't know that Miss Kentra at the beginning was reluctant to give her what her beloved left her at the end, so she wrote another letter in Clark's font and gave it to Lena to burn. The letter had been buried in a flower pot in Lena's room before she escaped from Swoe Manor the previous night. Luckily, Lena's room was on the first floor, and the window wasn't hard to climb.

After enjoying a hearty breakfast, Emma, as an important person, is also questioned by the police officer. In the face of Miss Emma, who looked pale and haggard but endured her grief, the parish police officer's attitude was unusually gentle. After repeatedly making sure that she was in good health, he made an exception and asked a maid to hold a sniffing salt and a fan to prevent Miss Emma from fainting.

Emma's hands were clenched, and her fingertips were white. "Yesterday afternoon I was reading a book when suddenly my maid Lena came in and told me that my brother had killed my father. I passed out. I woke up in disbelief and wanted to see my father and brother, but Lena and Mrs. Charlie stayed by my side and wouldn't let me out. A moment Clark came in, and he proposed to me, and I was terrified, knowing that my fiancé was Colonel Alvin Cruise, and we were engaged three years ago. Lena stopped him. The letter"

"Yes. Officer Kerry interrupted Emma, "I already know, you can skip this paragraph." ”

It seems that Mr. Darcy has explained the matter to the police officer, and the male god is reliable. Emma gave Mr. Darcy 233 likes in her heart. "I didn't know what to do, I was scared. Lena brought me a glass of wine and made sure I drank it, saying it would help me sleep. I didn't dare to fall asleep, but she was very tough, and Mrs. Richard was watching me all the time, so I had no choice but to have a drink. Secretly sucked up some liquor with a handkerchief in his sleeve. I felt very uncomfortable, like a fire was burning, but they insisted that I have two more drinks. I can't help it," Emma was about to cover her face and cry twice, when the maid next to her quickly rushed up and put the sniffing salt under her nose. It's ammonia, Emma quickly held her breath and signaled that she was okay.

"There is such a wicked servant!" said a young police officer, sympathizing with the beautiful Miss Emma for suffering in this way. Officer Kerry glared at him and warned him not to show obvious bias during questioning.

After sniffing the salt, Emma was honest and didn't dare to exaggerate her sadness anymore. "I felt like I was going to faint, but I was afraid that something terrible would happen to me when I lost consciousness. So I asked Lena and Mrs. Richard to have a drink with me, and then said that they wanted water, and that the candle was not bright enough, and wrung the wine from the veil into their cups while they turned around. They all fainted after drinking it. I couldn't hold it anymore and lost consciousness. I didn't wake up until Lisa came back and called me in the bedroom. She told me what had happened. It's just horrible. ”

"So Miss Carter's request for help was not at your behest?"

"Miss Carter? Oh, it's Lisa. Yes, I was unconscious. Lisa said she wanted to come to me, but found that Lena and Mrs. Richard were in the room all the time. She didn't dare to alarm them. So I went to ask for help. ”

"Okay. We've got you covered. Officer Kerry said sincerely: "Please rest assured that we will fully consider the evidence you provide and do our best to find the real murderer." ”

Miss Emma turned her head slightly to wipe away her tears, and looked at the officers with some pleading and trust, looking particularly weak and helpless. "Yes, I believe in you, and I believe that justice will be served. ”
