Chapter 41 Chapter Forty

The boat from Thebes docked, and Suti was waiting for Nefiri on the pier. "You are the most beautiful person in the world!" "Should I blush in front of heroes?" "Seeing you, I would rather be a judge. Come, give me your luggage, and I'm sure the donkey will be more than happy to carry it for you." Nefiri seemed a little worried: "Where's Pazar?" "He's still cleaning the house, so I'll pick you up. I'm so happy for you both!" "How are you?" "You are a miracle doctor. I have regained my strength, and I plan to show my talents."

"Hope there's nothing wrong with it?" Nefiri said, toning him down. "Don't worry. Let's go, don't keep Pazar waiting too long. Since yesterday, he's only worried about the wrong wind direction, the delay of the ship, and a lot of disasters that may delay your trip. It's incredible to fall in love to this extent. " The north wind leads the way steadily.Pazar gave the clerk a day off.He decorated many flowers in front of his house, and smoked the interior.There is a faint scent of frankincense and riley flowers in the air. When Pazar held Nefiri in his arms, the green monkey and dog raised by the two were looking at each other with distrust.

Residents of this area have always been very sensitive to unusual atmospheres, and this time was no exception. "I'm a little worried about leaving the sick in the village alone." "They've got to get used to another doctor, and in three days we're moving into the Blarneys." "Do you still want to marry me?" He didn't answer, but just picked her up and walked over the threshold of the hut, where he had spent so many nights dreaming of her. There was a burst of cheers outside.Since Pazar and Nefiri lived under the same roof, they were already officially married and no other ceremony was required.

After a night of carousing with the residents of the district, the two of them embraced and fell asleep until noon the next day.As soon as Pazar woke up, he stared at Nefiri with infinite love in his eyes. He really couldn't believe that the god of fate had favored him so much. But she closed her eyes tightly, took her husband's hand and put it on her chest, and said softly: "You swear that we will never separate." "May the gods make us two together—and let our love last forever." Inside their perfectly coordinated bodies, there is a desire trembling at the same time.What they appreciate is not just the pleasure of the senses, nor the passion and hunger of the young flesh. In fact, they have transcended the boundary between the spirit and the flesh and reached another eternal time and space.

"Judge Pazar, when are we going to start the trial? I heard that Nefeli is back in Memphis, so she must be ready." "Nefeli is my wife now." The Chief Physician pouted: "It's a pity. If she is sentenced, your reputation will be damaged. If you still think about your future, you should divorce as soon as possible." "Are you still insisting on suing her?" Nebamun laughed loudly: "Are you dazzled by love?" "I have here a list of the medicines that Nefeli made in the laboratory. The medicines were supplied by Karni, the gardener of the Karnak Temple. You should be able to tell that the medicines were prepared according to the methods recorded in the Pharmacopoeia."

"You're not a doctor, Pazar. And what about Carney, his testimony won't convince a jury." "So don't you think Blaney's testimony would be more effective?" The smile on the Chief Physician's face became a little stiff. "Blarney is no longer practicing. He..." "He will serve as the high priest of Karnak Temple and will testify for Nefiri. Blaney's meticulous and upright personality is well known. He checked Except for the drugs you mentioned, I didn't find anything unusual. " Nebamon was furious, and the old doctor's prestige would make Nefiri's reputation even louder. "I really underestimated you.

You are indeed resourceful. ""I'm just using facts to resist your desire to destroy that's all. " "If you win today, I'm afraid you will be disappointed tomorrow." Nefiri went to bed first, while Pazar was still studying the dossier on the first floor.Suddenly, the donkey brayed loudly, and he knew someone was coming. He went out to see, no one was there.A papyrus fell to the ground.The handwriting on the paper was scrawled and must have been written in a hurry. "Blarney is in danger. Come quickly." Pazar immediately rushed over overnight. The surroundings of Blarney's house seemed peaceful, but the door was still open at this late hour.Passing through the first room, Pazar saw the teacher sitting against the wall with his head hanging on his chest.

A thin needle made of a shell was inserted into his neck, which was stained with blood, and his pulse had stopped beating. Pazar was shocked, but had to accept the fact that Blarney had been murdered. Suddenly several policemen rushed in and surrounded Pazar.It was Meng Moxi who took the lead, and he shouted: "What are you doing here?" "Someone wrote a note warning me that Blarney was in danger." "Where's the note?" "I left it on the road in front of my house." "We'll find out." "Why this skeptical tone?" "Because I think you are suspected of murder."

Meng Moxi woke up the elders of the gate hall in the middle of the night.When the elder was complaining in a low voice, he was surprised to find a policeman standing next to Pazar. "Before the facts are made public, I want to ask for your opinion." Meng Moxi said to the elder. "You arrested Judge Pazar?" "There was bloodshed." "Who did he kill?" The elder couldn't believe it. "Blarney." "That's ridiculous," Pazar interrupted. "He's my teacher, and I've always respected him." "How can you be so sure, Meng Moxi?" The elder also thought it was impossible.

"I saw Pazar insert a thin shell needle into Blarney's neck. The blood was not much. He had just finished doing this when my men and I entered the room. ""you are wrong. Pazar retorted, "I just found the body too." " "Have you asked a doctor for an autopsy?" the elder asked Meng Moxi. "Yes, Nebamon himself did the autopsy." Despite the stinging heart, Pazar tried to fight back: "Meng Moxi, it's a bit strange that you brought a small team here at this time. How do you explain this?" "Night patrols. Sometimes I go with my subordinates. It's the best way to understand their problems and fix them. Good luck today, caught the perpetrator."

"Who ordered you to come here, Meng Moxi? Who set up this trap?" Seeing that Pazar was agitated, two policemen quickly grabbed his arms. The elder Mendian pulled the chief of police aside. "Meng Moxi, tell me the truth, did you really go there by chance?" "Not really. I received an anonymous letter in my office yesterday afternoon, so I waited near Blarney's house as soon as it got dark. When I saw Pazar enter the house, I immediately went to question him, but it was too late." "Are you sure he killed it?" "I didn't see him stick the needle into the dead man, but who else?" "A little difference is the key. After the Asher scandal, something like this happened again, and it also involved the judges under me!" "The judiciary has judicial functions, and I also have my responsibilities." "There is still a doubt: what is his motive?" The elder of the gate palace always felt that something was wrong. "This is not important." "Of course it's important." The elder of the gate hall seemed a little flustered, and Meng Moxi suggested: "Hide Pazar first. He announced that he had left Memphis for Asia in order to investigate the case of General Asher. It is too dangerous here, and he may Will die by accident or be assassinated." "Meng Moxi, you shouldn't..." "Elder, we have known each other for a long time. The interests of the country have always been our only consideration. Do you really want me to find the person who sent the anonymous letter? This little judge is a nasty fellow. What Memphis needs is a quiet life. .” Pazar interrupted their conversation. "It's not right for you to hit a judge like this. I'll come back and find out. I swear in the name of Pharaoh, I will definitely come back again! "The elder of the door hall closed his eyes and covered his ears. Nefeli was so worried that she was almost crazy. She asked the residents of the same district everywhere. Some people did hear the north wind, but no one could provide any clues about the disappearance of the judge.After Su Ti got the news, he also searched around, but found nothing.The doors and windows of Blarney's residence were closed.Distraught, Nefiri had no choice but to go to the elder of the gate hall. "Pazar is missing." The judge showed a look of extreme surprise. "Don't think about it! Don't worry, he is just performing a secret investigation mission." "where is he?" "Even if I know, I can't tell you. But in fact, he didn't disclose the details, so I don't know his itinerary." "He didn't say anything!" Nefiri couldn't believe that Pazar would leave her just like that, and said nothing. "He did the right thing. Otherwise, if he leaked the secret, he should really be punished." "But how could he leave in the middle of the night without saying a word?" "Maybe he doesn't want you to experience the pain of parting." "We're moving into Blarney's house the day after tomorrow. I'd like to speak to the teacher, but he's already gone to Carnac." The voice of the elder of the gate hall suddenly sank: "Poor child...don't you know? Blarney passed away last night. His former colleagues will hold a grand funeral for him."
