Chapter 14 Chapter Thirteen

Su Ti's right hand brushed on his mistress's back, stroked her neck, then slid down to caress her buttocks. "More." She said softly. Without waiting for her to say the second sentence, Su Ti's hands became stronger. He liked the feeling of meeting the other party's needs. "No...don't do that!" Su Ti ignored her and continued to caress her.He knew how to give her pleasure, and he did it without reservation. After pretending to resist, she turned around and threw herself into her lover's arms. After the tenderness, the contented hostess prepared a rich breakfast and insisted on his promise to come back the next day.

He walked to the port, slept for two hours in the shadow of a cargo ship, and waited until sunset to find Pazar. Pazar was sitting cross-legged writing, with the dog lying on his left foot.Su Ti enthusiastically patted Bei Feng, the guard at the door, and walked in. "I may need your help," Pazar told him. "Is there a relationship problem?" Su Ti asked half-jokingly. "how is this possible?" "It can't be a conspiracy about the police, can it?" "Unfortunately, yes." "Is it dangerous?" "might have." As soon as my friend said this, Su Ti became interested, "This is interesting. I want to know more, or do you want me to find out by myself?"

"I set a trap for a dentist named Kadash." Suti whistled in admiration. "He's a celebrity! He only sees rich people. What crime has he committed?" "His behavior makes me suspicious. The Nubian policeman who should have given the task to me, but he is busy with other things." "Am I going to break into his residence?" Suti asked again with great interest. "Don't even think about it. You just need to follow Kadash when you see him acting suspiciously." Suti climbed an avocado tree to watch the gate and main passage of the dentist's villa.It's not bad to rest for a night, he can enjoy the coolness and beautiful night sky alone.All the lights in the mansion were turned off, and there was no sound around, when suddenly a black figure slipped out from the door of the stable.The man was wearing a coat and had gray hair. He looked exactly like the dentist Pazar had described.

It's not hard to track him down.Although Kadashi was nervous, his pace was still slow, and he never looked back. He walked towards an old community that was being rebuilt.The dilapidated and old administrative buildings have all been demolished, and broken bricks are piled up in the middle of the road.After the dentist bypassed the pile of rubble, he saw that Ding Suti also climbed up the pile of rubble. He was careful not to step on the bricks and expose his actions.At the top, he saw three men around the fire, one of whom was Kadashi. They took off their coats and were completely naked except for a small leather sheath covering their private parts and three feathers in their hair.

They danced and waved small wooden sticks with both hands, pretending to fight.The other two younger men suddenly bent their legs, jumped up, and let out a wild cry.Although Kadashi couldn't keep up with their rhythm, his enthusiasm and excitement did not diminish. The dance went on for over an hour.Suddenly, one of the young dancers pulled off the holster, revealing his male features, and the other two followed suit.Since Kadashi seemed a little tired, after they let him drink the palm wine, the three fell into a state of madness again. Pazar listened carefully to Suti's narration, and sighed, "It's so strange."

"Don't you know the customs of the Libyans? This kind of celebration ceremony is very normal." "What is the purpose?" "To show masculinity, fecundity, seduction...they can get new energy from dancing. But for Kadashi, it seems a bit difficult. "It seems that our dentists will feel the decline. " Su Ti smiled and asked, "From what I've seen, there's nothing wrong with him. What did he do to break the law?" "Not so far. But he has always hated foreigners, but he has not forgotten his Libyan roots. You must know that this society strongly criticizes these customs."

"Am I still useful?" "It's so useful." "Judge Pazar, next time you send a mission, it's best to monitor a woman." In the past few days, Keim and the baboon police have exerted firm perseverance and traveled between Memphis and the surrounding suburbs to find the four subordinates of the missing chief of guards. Kem waited until after the clerk left before talking to Pazar, because he had no trust in Arlo.As soon as the big baboon entered the office, the warrior immediately hid in his master's chair. "Are you having trouble, Cam?" Pazar asked as soon as he opened his mouth.

"I found the address." "No violence was used?" "The process was absolutely peaceful." "Okay, tomorrow morning, we will start to question the four witnesses." "They all disappeared." Pazar was stunned, and unconsciously put down the pen in his hand.He didn't expect that Yuan Zhong's refusal to approve an ordinary official document would cause this series of mysterious incidents.He wondered what else Cam had discovered. "No clues?" "Two moved to the Delta area and the other two moved to the Thebes area. I know the village where they live.

" "Go back and prepare your luggage." That night Pazar spent the night at the teacher's house.On the way out, he felt that there seemed to be a follower behind him, so he slowed down and looked back two or three times, but he never saw the suspicious figure again, maybe he was dazzled. On the balcony full of flowers, Pazar and Blarney sat facing each other. He tasted delicious beer and felt the breath of this big city before going to sleep.Looking around, there are only a few lights left to illuminate those who sleep late and the busy clerk. Accompanied by Blarney, everything seemed to stand still, and Pazar really wanted to hold this precious moment tightly in his palm, so as not to let it disappear with the night. "Has Nefiri been assigned?" he asked the teacher.

"Not yet, but soon, she is now in the dormitory of the medical school." "Who decides on the job?" "A group of professional doctors led by Nebamon. Nefeli will only be assigned to relatively simple tasks, and then with the accumulation of experience, it will become more and more difficult. Pazar, I think you are still not cheerful, as if you have lost your mind. like the joys of life." Pazar briefly described his own experience, and finally said: "There are too many confusing coincidences, aren't they?" "What is your hypothesis?" "It's too early to make assumptions. It can only be confirmed that there is a negligence on the job, but what is the nature and how extensive is the involvement? I don't know at all. I may be worrying unnecessarily. Sometimes, I want to let it go, but despite No matter how small my position is, I have no way to act against my conscience."

Braney couldn't bear to see him so confused, and encouraged him by saying: "The mind will make plans for you and guide you, but perseverance can preserve the results and maintain the illusion of the mind." (Blarney's words to Pazar are collected in Quotations from the Sages "The Collection of Teachings") After listening to the old doctor's words, Pazar was refreshed. "I'm not going to lose my will. I check what I find." "You must always think about Egypt's safety and security, and don't worry about your personal success or failure. As long as your actions are correct, you will definitely get double rewards in the future." "If a person disappears and no one hears about it, and the official documents are forged, isn't there a crisis in Egypt?" "Your concerns are very reasonable." Blaney nodded thoughtfully. "But as long as I have your spiritual support, I can face no matter how big the danger is." The old doctor hoped that Pazar would do something for the country, but he didn't want him to be hurt because of haste, so he earnestly said: "You have always been very courageous, but you need to be more clear-headed and know how to avoid some obstacles. , because a frontal conflict will only hurt yourself. Go around and use the enemy's strength as much as possible. You must be as soft as a reed and as firm as a rock." "Patience is my weakest link." "You have to learn the spirit of architects in researching, processing, and embellishing building materials, and strengthen yourself." "You don't approve of me going to the Delta?" "You've already decided." Nebamun wore a rich linen robe trimmed with colorful fringe and had his nails manicured. He called the general meeting in the halls of the Memphis School of Medicine with a slightly haughty look.A dozen or so reputable doctors who have never lost a patient's life will assign the first task to these young doctors who have just passed the test.Usually the assignment of tasks represents the care of the seniors for the younger ones, and has never caused any controversy. This time should be no exception, and the work will be assigned soon. "It's Nefiri now." A surgeon announced, "Memphis, Sais, and Thebes all have high evaluations. Her performance is extremely good, and she is a rare talent." "Yes, but she is a woman," retorted Nebamon. "There have been female doctors before!" "Nefeli is smart, I admit, but she lacks perseverance. Practical experience is more than just talking on paper." Nebamon insisted. "She has passed several stages of practice in a row without letting up," reminded a general practitioner. "There is supervision during the internship." Nebamon said mildly in a hypocritical tone, "Will she not be at a loss when she faces the patient alone? Her endurance really worries me, I really doubt it Did she choose the wrong line?" "So you mean...?" "Give her some difficult-to-treat patients and let her accept another severe test. If she succeeds, we will naturally bless her sincerely, otherwise we will have to reconsider." Nebamon's gentle words immediately won the unanimous support of his colleagues.At the beginning of Nefiri's practice, he prepared an unexpected and terrible gift for her.When she was exhausted physically and mentally, and then rescued her from purgatory, she would naturally fall into his arms gratefully and obediently. Nefeli was really petrified, and ran to the side and wept quietly. She is not afraid of suffering, but she never thought that she would be sent to the military infirmary to take care of these seriously ill and wounded soldiers who came back from Asia.In the infirmary, thirty people were lying on straw mats, some were groaning in pain, some were insane, feeding and talking to themselves, and their internal organs flowed out.The camp medical officer just stood quietly beside Nai and gave her no instructions.He too was following orders. It wasn't long before Nefiri regained her composure.No matter why she was made so difficult, she still did her duty in caring for these unfortunate people.After checking the medicines in the camp, she gained confidence.The most important thing now is to relieve their pain as soon as possible, so she picked a mandrake root and ground the mandrake root to get a very curative substance from the grass, which can relieve pain and anesthetize.Then she added aromatic dill, date juice and grape juice to the wine and warmed it up.For four days, she gave the wounded soldiers the water. She called a young recruit to clean the courtyard of the camp. "You have to do me a favor." The recruit faltered, not knowing how to refuse, "Me? But I..." "You will be a nurse from now on." "But Commander..." The soldier still hesitated. "You go to see him right away and tell him that if you don't help me, these thirty people will die." The recruit had to obey, but was not happy that he had to join this cruel game. As soon as the soldier entered the infirmary, he almost fainted, and Nefili hurriedly diverted his attention, "You gently lift their heads up so that I can feed them medicine, and then we will wash our bodies and clean up the infirmary by the way." clear." At first he closed his eyes tightly, not daring to breathe.Seeing that Nefiri was so calm later, the inexperienced guards forgot the nausea, and happily said that the medicine worked.The groans and screams became smaller, and several wounded soldiers had already fallen asleep. A wounded soldier clung to Nefiri's calf.She angrily said, "Let go of me." "Of course you can't let it go, beauty, how can you give up this opportunity for nothing? I will make you happy like a fairy." The wounded soldier salivated and said. At this time, the guard suddenly let go of his hand, let the wounded soldier's head fall heavily to the ground, and beat him hard. The wounded soldier's fingers loosened a little before Nefiri broke free.She was very grateful to the recruits, "Thank you." "Are you... not afraid?" the recruit asked hesitantly. "Of course I am." "If you want, I will use this method to settle everyone." Xiao Bing patted his chest and assured her. "When necessary." Nefiri thanked him, but didn't quite wish for a repeat of the past. "What disease do they have?" "Dysentery." "is it serious?" "I am familiar with this disease, and it can be cured." Nefiri said confidently. "It must be because they drank dirty water in Asia. I think I'd better clean up the camp." After the environmental sanitation reached a certain standard, Nefeli let the patient drink a potion with wilt (the dried coriander fruit can be used as a spice) as the main ingredient to relieve cramps and cleanse the intestines.She ground pomegranate root with brewer's yeast, strained it through a cloth, and left it overnight.The bright red fruit fights diarrhea and dysentery.For those who are seriously ill, Nefeli gives them an enema.The enema is a mixture of honey, fermented mucilage (a substance extracted from plants to thicken it), sweet beer, and salt. The utensil used is a copper horn with the thinner end shaped like a bird's beak.After five days of close care, Pei Ran achieved results.The patient who could only eat milk and honey for several days was finally able to stand up. On the sixth day after Nefeli took over the post, Nabamon, the Chief Physician, visited the health facilities in the camp with a happy mood. Satisfied, his last stop was the infirmary, where soldiers wounded with dysentery from the Asian campaign were isolated and recuperated.He smirked secretly as he imagined Nefiri, exhausted and helpless, begging him to change jobs for her, agreeing to join his medical team. But as soon as he got to the door of the infirmary, he saw a recruit cleaning it, and the door was open.A gust of wind cleans the empty plastered interior. "I must have been mistaken," Nebamon said to the soldier. "Do you know where Dr. Neferi works?" "It's the first office on your left," the soldier replied. The female doctor is copying the list on papyrus.As soon as Nebamon saw her, he asked, "Nefeli! Where is the patient?" "It has entered the recovery stage and left the infirmary." "Impossible!" Nebamon couldn't believe it. "This is the list of patients, with the progress of treatment and the date of leaving the infirmary." "But how could it be..." The Chief Physician still didn't believe it. "I appreciate you entrusting this work to me so that I can demonstrate the effectiveness of our medical measures." There was no resentment in her tone of voice, and her eyes were soft.Nabamun suddenly felt ashamed and whispered, "I think I was wrong." "what do you mean?" "I acted like an idiot." "That's not what people outside say about you, Nebamon." "Nefelli, listen to me..." Nebamun tried to explain, but Nefiri cut him off and simply said, "You will receive the full report tomorrow. Could you please inform me of my next mission as soon as possible?" Meng Moxi was still angry.In this big mansion, no one dared to move as long as the chief of police master's anger finally subsided. During this period of extreme tension, his scalp was always numb and itchy, and he was scratching and bleeding.At his feet lay a heap of torn scrolls, full of reports from his subordinates. Nothing at all.No definite evidence, no known wrongdoing, no record of corruption or fraud. Pazar seemed to be an honest judge, and certainly a dangerous one.Meng Moxi never underestimated his opponent, especially the person he had to deal with this time was even more terrifying, and it was not easy to subdue him.Before actually taking action, we must first find the answer, who is manipulating him?
