Chapter 6 Chapter Six

Nefeli was urgently recruited by Memphis Central Hospital to undergo a difficult operation, and Pazar had to feed the green monkey Naughty himself.Although the little beast was always making trouble for the servants and stealing food from the kitchen, Pazar was extremely tolerant of it, since when he first met Nefiri.How could he have mustered up the courage to strike up a conversation with Nefiri if Bratty hadn't splashed the water on his dog-warrior?The warrior clasped Pazar's wrist with his right front paw.This tall, long-tailed, shaggy dog ​​has one ear that usually hangs down, but stands erect at mealtime.Around its neck hung a white and pink leather collar that read, "Warrior, Pazar's Companion." While the little rascal ate the brownies, the warrior ate the pureed vegetables.Fortunately, the two of them have now reached an agreement: within a day, the warrior is willing to let the little rascal pull his tail a dozen times, but once he sleeps on Pazar's old straw mat, the little rascal can no longer quarrel with him .Speaking of this straw mat, it was the only valuable item that Pazar had when he first arrived in Memphis. The straw mat can be used as a bed, a table, spread on the floor, and even a corpse, which is very practical.Pazar had vowed to keep the mat no matter what.Now that the Warriors would rather choose it than give up the comfortable cushion, they must also protect it well.

Dozens of trees and flowers in the flower garden, awakened under the soft winter sun, dotted the prime minister's residence like a paradise where righteous people live after death.Pazar took a few steps towards the path, and the dewy ground emitted bursts of aroma, penetrating into the heart.Suddenly, his elbow felt hot and humid. It turned out that his loyal donkey, Beifeng, was greeting him.This donkey not only has gentle eyes and is extremely intelligent, but also has a good sense of direction that even Pazar can't help but admire. Since Pazar provided it with food and shelter, it no longer had to carry heavy loads to do hard work.

The donkey suddenly raised its head.There seemed to be an uninvited visitor at the gate, and it ran quickly, followed by Pazar. It was the Chief of Police and Baboon Constable Lading.Kaim has always disliked Hua, no matter whether it is cold or hot, he wears such a short loincloth, no different from ordinary civilians.There is a wooden scabbard at his waist, and the scorpion in the scabbard is a gift from Pazar: the blade is made of copper, and the handle is made of glass mixed with gold and silver, and inlaid with lapis lazuli and amazonite Material rosette.Kem, however, prefers the ivory scepter he wears on formal occasions.

He still couldn't bear the constraints of the office as before, so he continued to go out to perform duties. The baboon looked very calm at this time, but when it got angry, even the lion couldn't resist it.Once, only an orangutan of comparable size and strength dared to fight it to the death.It was the Killer Steel used by a mysterious assassin who wanted to take out the Baboon Police so he could attack Pazar.Although the baboon policeman defeated his opponent in the end, he was also seriously injured. Thanks to Nefili's care, he was able to recover in a short period of time, which made the baboon very grateful.

"There's no danger at the moment. You haven't been watched lately," Cam said. "I really owe you my life." "I owe you too, Prime Minister. Our destiny is connected, so there is no need to waste spittle saying thank you. The prey has returned, I have confirmed it." Beifeng seemed to have guessed what his master was thinking, and immediately set off in the right direction.It ran gracefully on the streets of Memphis, with Fu Fu, Pazar and Keim following a few meters behind.Wherever the baboons pass by, passers-by can't help feeling chills.It has a big head.There is a lot of fur on the back, and a short red cloak is draped over the shoulders. He strode forward with his eyes all over the place.

When we arrived in front of the largest weaving factory in Memphis, we saw a happy and lively scene. The weavers were chatting in front of the door, and the porters brought the flax balls, which were being carefully inspected by a female supervisor.Bei Feng stopped in front of a pile of hay, and Fu Fu followed the Prime Minister and the Chief of Police into an extremely airy loom room. They headed for the office of the factory director Tapene.In her thirties, although Tapene is short, with black hair and green eyes, and a charming appearance, she has a strong personality and manages the factory with an iron fist. She is a career-oriented strong woman.

Seeing these three visitors, she was a little overwhelmed and asked stammeringly, "You...do you want to see me?" "I believe you can help us." Pazar said calmly. At this moment, the factory was already full of noise: the Egyptian Prime Minister and the Chief of Police personally visited Tapene!Is she going to be promoted today?Or committed a felony?Since Kaim is also here, the probability of the latter is probably higher. "Just to remind you," Pazar continued, "my mentor, Blarney, was killed by a shell needle. Based on the information you provided, I made a few assumptions, but to no avail.However, you have said that you have a key clue, so it's time to confess now, right? "

"That's what I boasted." "Among the conspirators who murdered the guards of the Sphinx was a woman who was no less ruthless and determined than any of her party." The baboon stared at the beautiful female factory owner with blood-red eyes, and his expression seemed to be getting more and more restless. "Ms. Tapene, what do you think if this woman was also a master needleman and was ordered to kill my mentor and end his investigation without any problems?" "It's none of my business." "I want you to tell the secret." "No!" she yelled hysterically, "I got your friend Suti sentenced, so you want revenge. It was his fault, I was just exercising my rights. Don't threaten me, or I will go to I sue you. Get out!"

"You should watch your words," Keim said. "You're talking to the Prime Minister of Egypt." Tapene trembled all over, and she lowered her voice: "You have no evidence to accuse me at all." "We'll find it, Ms. Tapene, take care of yourself." * * * "Is the prime minister satisfied?" "Pretty satisfied, Cam." "We just kicked over the ant nest..." "She was very nervous because she was very concerned about her social status and our visit had a negative impact on her reputation." "So she'll do something about it."

"soon." "You think she's guilty?" "As far as malice and miserliness are concerned, the evidence is clear." "Then do you think Meifeng's wife Sirix is ​​more suspicious?" "She's like a big child, and she might become a criminal because of her wayward behavior. Besides, Sirix is ​​a good needleman." "But she looks very timid." Cam was quite disapproving. "She is obedient to her husband. If Mei Feng asks her to be a bait, she will definitely obey. The chief guard of the Sphinx probably lost his mind for a while when he saw her appear in the dark."

"But homicide..." "Until I have the evidence, I'm not going to make a statement lightly." "What if you never find the proof?" "Let's have faith, Cam." "You are hiding an important fact." "I have to, but don't doubt that we are fighting to save Egypt." "It's very troublesome to follow you to do the facts." "Actually, I just hope that I can live a peaceful life in the countryside with Nefiri, the warrior and Beifeng by my side." "You have to wait patiently, Prime Minister Pazar." * * * Tapene began to fidget.She knew how stubborn Pazar was, his persistence in pursuing the truth, and the deep friendship between him and Suti.Maybe she did a little too much for her husband, but since she married Su Ti, she couldn't tolerate him being promiscuous outside.If he dared to mess with that Libyan woman, he would have to pay the price. Under the threat of possible sanctions from the Prime Minister, Tapene must find a backer as soon as possible without hesitation. So Tapene ran to the office of the Ministry of Finance.After asking the guard at the door, she waited for about half an hour, only to see an empty sedan chair with a high back, an ottoman in front, large armrests on both sides, and an Holding a parasol.Twenty or so bearers moved forward quickly amidst the command of the chief bearer. They only accept short-distance business, and the price is not low. At this moment, Meifeng came out from the gate of the Shuangyuan and walked quickly towards the sedan chair.Tapene immediately blocked his way and said, "I want to talk to you." "Ms. Tapene! Has something happened to your factory?" "The prime minister wants to make trouble for me." "He always thinks he is a messenger of justice." Mei Feng said disdainfully. "He accused me of murder." "you?" "He suspects me of killing his teacher, Blarney." "What evidence is there?" "No, maybe he threatened me." "As long as you have a clear conscience, nothing is good." "Pazar, Cam, and that baboon cop scare me. I need your help." "How do I..." "You are a rich and powerful man, and people say you will continue to climb. I hope to join your camp." "How to join the law?" "Now I have the whole weaving business in my hands. Fine cloth is the most indispensable thing for a lady, even your wife. I know how to buy and sell to the best advantage, and the profit cannot be ignored. .” "Is the turnover large enough?" "With your ability, it will definitely expand very soon. Besides, I will definitely help you destroy that damned Pazar." "Do you have a detailed plan?" "Not yet, but it's all on me." "Well, Ms. Tapene, I will protect you."
