Could you tell me this usage?

I always forget posting a letter I am asked to post. It always happens that the letter

has an unadventurous life till a long chain of circumstances leads to a number of embarrasing

questions being asked, and I am compelled to produce the evidence of my guilt from my pocket.

Is 'a long chain of circumstances' closer in meaning to 'a series of circumstance evidence?'

It's closer to "a series of events or actions." If the guy is pulling it out of his pocket, I suspect it is a series of text messages, emails or tweets. These could contain evidence, of course.
