Chapter 16 Chapter fifteen

"Can you tell me where Nefiri works?" "You seem to have something on your mind." Blaney looked at Pazar and said worriedly. "This matter is very important." Pazar looked very serious, "I have already obtained a piece of physical evidence, but I need the assistance of a doctor to obtain the evidence." "I met her last night. She has successfully suppressed the dysentery epidemic and cured more than thirty soldiers in less than a week." Pazar was furious when he heard this. "Soldier? What mission did they give her?" "It was Nebamon who deliberately made things difficult for her."

"I'm going to beat him to the point where he has teeth all over the place." "Is this the job of a judge?" Blaney said admiringly. "This villain should be taught a lesson." Pazar said indignantly, knowing that he had made a slip of the tongue. "He's just exercising his authority." "You know that's not the case. Tell me honestly: what new test is this incompetent man going to put Nefiri on this time?" "He seems to have repented. Nefiri is now working as a pharmacist." The pharmacy laboratory near the Temple of Seke Beauty (there are often some laboratories near the temple responsible for testing and manufacturing various pharmacies. Due to the difficulty in translating proper nouns. Therefore, this type of research is still maintained at a basic level) processing data Hundreds of plants to fill doctor's prescriptions.In order to keep the potion fresh, the laboratory sends the potion to doctors in the city and the countryside every day.Nefiri's task was to oversee the dispensing process, but compared to the previous job, this time it was downgraded.According to Nebamon, this phase was necessary in order to allow her to rest before returning to caring for the patient.Nefiri, who has always been obedient, still did not protest.

At noon, the pharmacists left the laboratory together and went to the restaurant for dinner.They discussed eagerly with each other, proposed new prescriptions they discovered, and lamented the failure of the experiment.Two specialists were talking to Nefiri, all smiles on their faces, and Pazar knew they must be after her. His heart was beating faster, and he finally found the courage to interrupt them: "Nefeli..." She stopped and asked, "You looking for me?" Pazar felt aggrieved for her and said angrily: "Blarney told me about the unfair treatment you received. What an outrage. ""Healing the sick is my greatest joy, and nothing else is important. "

Seeing her so calm, Pazar suddenly didn't know what to say, so he asked directly: "I need your professional help." "Are you sick?" "It's a difficult case, and the investigation process requires the assistance of a doctor. It's just a simple identification work, that's all." Cam supported the carriage steadily, and his Fufu crouched inside the carriage, not daring to look at the road.Nefiri and Pazar stood shoulder to shoulder, their wrists strapped to the car to keep them from falling.Occasionally, with a jolt, their bodies would touch lightly.

Nefiri didn't seem to notice it, but Pazar was ecstatic in his heart.He secretly prayed that this short journey would never end, and hoped that the road would get worse.Once his right leg touched Nefiri's calf, but he didn't pull it back, fearing that he would be reprimanded, but he didn't.To be so close to her, to smell her scent, and she may not reject such contact... This dream is really beautiful. In front of the mummy making studio, there were two soldiers standing guard. "I'm Judge Pazar, let's go in." "No one is allowed to enter under the strict order of superiors. This place has been requisitioned by the military."

replied the soldier. "No one can stand against justice. Have you forgotten that we are in Egypt?" "The superior has an order..." "Step aside." At this moment, the baboon stood up with a fierce look on his face. He straightened up, his eyes were staring, his arms were bent, and he was about to rush forward.Cam also gradually loosened the chain. The two soldiers had to submit.Cam kicked the door open. Xiyi was sitting at the mummification table eating dried fish. "Lead us the way." Pazar ordered. Kem and the baboon were worried and searched around in the dark room, while Pazar and Nefiri went down to the cave together, and Joey led the way with a torch.

"What a lovely place!" whispered Nefiri, "especially for someone like me who likes air and sunlight." "To be honest, I also feel very uncomfortable." Pazar said frankly. Xiyi's steps were as usual, every step was old feet. The mummy hadn't been removed. Pazar looked carefully and found that no one had moved. "This is your patient, Nefiri. Now I will undress him under your supervision." The judge carefully untied the strip of muslin, and the first thing that came into view was an eye-shaped amulet on the forehead of the corpse, followed by a deep wound on the neck, which should be an arrow wound.

"It's enough to get here. How old do you think the deceased is?" Pazar stopped his hands and asked. "About twenty years old." Nefiri made such an estimate. Meng Moxi has been thinking hard about how to improve the traffic in Memphis, and now the traffic problem has made the quality of life worse.Too many donkeys, cows, horse-drawn carts, itinerant vendors, and wandering people blocked the alleyways.Every year he draws up new laws, but one is more unworkable than the other, and these new laws are never presented to the prime minister.He just kept promising improvement, but actually didn't believe anyone.Occasionally, he would dispatch the police force to calm people's hearts. The police would temporarily clear a road, no parking would be allowed to block the road, and offenders would be fined.

Meng Moxi puts all the blame on his subordinates, but tries his best not to let them solve the problem; he stays out of this chaos, and from time to time sends his own people to mix in to promote it, so his reputation has always been high No more. The subordinate informed that Pazar was waiting in the reception room, and Meng Moxi walked out of the office to say hello to him. The man's politeness and thoughtfulness made him feel a little better. However, the judge's face was serious, obviously it was not a good thing. "I'm very busy this morning, but I'd still like to see you."

"I guess you have no choice." "You seem restless." "Indeed it is." Meng Moxi scratched his forehead.He brought Pazar into his office, then dismissed his private secretary.He sat tensely in an ornate chair with a center hoof.Pazar stood aside. "What's the matter? Tell me." Pazar then explained the reason: "A chariot adjutant took me to find Xiyi, the mummification craftsman officially hired by the army. He showed me the mummy of the man I was looking for." "The former head of the Sphinx? So he's dead?" "At least someone wants me to think so."

"What do you mean?" Meng Moxi was puzzled. "Because the final funeral has not yet been held, under the supervision of Dr. Neferi, I untied the cloth strips from the upper body of the mummy. The corpse was a young man in his twenties, who probably died from an arrow wound. However, Obviously, he wasn't the ex-military." The chief of police was shocked when he heard this, "This is incredible." But Pazar was unmoved. "And there were two soldiers trying to stop me from entering the studio. When I came out, they were gone." "What's the name of that chariot adjutant?" "I have no idea." "It was a serious mistake." "Don't you think he's lying?" Meng Moxi reluctantly nodded, and then asked, "Where's the corpse?" "He's on guard at Rai's. I've written a full report that includes testimony from Dr. Nefieli, the mummy maker, and my constable, Kym." When Meng Moxi heard Kaim's name, he frowned and asked, "Are you satisfied with him?" "He's very conscientious." "His past isn't working against him." "He helped me efficiently." "You have to watch out for him." "Let's talk about the mummy anyway, shall we?" The leader of the police circle was a little dissatisfied with his loss of dominance, so he had no choice but to say: "I will send someone to bring the body, and we must find out his identity." "It is also to be found out whether the cause of his death is related to the military, whether murder was involved." Such a serious accusation shocked Meng Moxi: "Murder? What are you kidding?" "I will continue to investigate on this side." "Which direction are you investigating?" "Investigations cannot be made public." "What? Are you wary of me?" The chief was very dissatisfied with his attitude. "That's an inappropriate question to ask." "This incident is too complicated, and I'm as clueless as you are. So we should cooperate more closely, shouldn't we?" "I think it seems better for the judiciary to operate independently." Meng Moxi's anger shook the entire police station.Fifty high-ranking officials were punished that day and their benefits were cut.This is the first time since he took charge of the police administration that he has not received a formal notice.Isn't that a threat to his system?He will never be caught without a fight. well!The military seems to be behind all this conspiracy, but the reasons are puzzling.Stepping into the military field is full of dangers, and Meng Moxi will not take this risk.If General Asher, who had been promoted to the sky in one step recently, really had any intentions, then he, the chief of police, would be helpless at all. There are also many advantages to letting that little judge investigate.Because he is alone, and he is young and vigorous and does not know how to guard against it. He is likely to enter the restricted area by mistake and violate laws and regulations that he does not know.As long as Meng Moxi followed him, he would be able to learn the results of the investigation secretly.Just form another form of alliance with him for a while until he is no longer needed. But the question is, why the drama?The planners obviously underestimated Pazar, thinking that the weird location, the suffocating atmosphere and the sense of oppression of death would keep the judge away from the mummy, and make him give up on the matter after refusing to stamp it.The result was just the opposite. Pazar's interest in the case not only remained the same, but even increased. Meng Moxi tried to comfort himself, the disappearance of a small retired soldier who holds an honorary position will not pose a threat to the country!Maybe it was just a murder committed by a small soldier, and a high-ranking general like Asher or his party wanted to cover him.You can't go wrong if you look in this direction.
