Chapter 6 Chapter Six

Mengmoxi received the elder of the door hall in the hall of arms, where his shield, sword and prey were displayed.This chief of police is very cunning, he has a sharp nose, speaks with a thick nasal voice, and his red bald head is often itchy.He is quite fat, and has been eating abstinently in order to maintain a certain figure.Yu Moxi often appears at grand banquets. He has good interpersonal relationships and is cautious and ingenious. All the police forces in the country are controlled by him alone.No one could fault him; and he has been careful to maintain his impeccable reputation. "Dear elder, are you visiting privately?"

"Secret visit, your favorite." The elder of the gate hall answered a little sarcastically. "If you want to enjoy a long-term and stable career, don't you have to do this?" Meng Moxi didn't care. "When I promised to smuggle Pazar away, I made a condition." "I don't seem to remember." "You have to find out the motive for killing." "Don't forget I caught him on the spot." "Why did he kill his teacher? Blarney is about to become the high priest of Karnak Temple, and he will also be his biggest pillar."

"Maybe it's jealousy, maybe it's madness." "Don't take me for a fool." "What does motive matter? We've got rid of Pazar, and that's what matters." "Are you sure he's guilty?" "I'll say it again: when I caught him, he was bending over Blaney's body. If it were you, what conclusion would you draw?" "But what about the motive?" The elder of the door hall still had doubts in his heart. "As you have admitted yourself, opening a trial is the worst policy. People in the country should respect judges and have confidence in them. But Pazar likes to make trouble and show off. His teacher Blarney may have tried to persuade him, but he lost control and went down. A murderous hand. The two of us have preserved his reputation for him, and we are already very lenient. Isn't it the most satisfactory result for him or for us to announce that he died in the line of duty?"

"Su Ti already knows the truth." The elder of the gate hall said with a sigh. "Why..." Meng Moxi didn't understand what he meant. "Kem pressed Nabamon, the Chief Physician. Suti knew that Pazar was still alive, and I also told him where Pazar was detained." When Meng Moxi heard this, he was furious: "Crazy. You are really crazy! You, the top judge of the majestic city of Memphis, bowed to a soldier who was expelled from the army! Neither Kem nor Suti can take What action." "You forgot that Nebamun had a written statement." The elder was very surprised, because Meng Moxi had always been known for his calmness.

"Confessions obtained through torture do not count at all." "He wrote it long ago, dated it, and signed it." "Destroy." Meng Moxi said decisively. "Kam has asked the Chief Physician to make a new copy, and two servants have testified. Pazar is indeed innocent. He was in the office for a few hours before the murder. There are witnesses who can testify to this. checked." Only then did Meng Moxi's attitude soften a bit. "But...why do you want to tell where the Tibetans are? It's not that urgent." "For peace of mind."

"Based on your experience, your age, you..." The elder of the door hall interrupted him and said, "It is because of my age. In the case of Pazar, I violated the spirit of the law." "You are thinking about Egypt, and you have no regard for personal interests at all." "Your rhetoric can't fool me anymore, Meng Moxi." "Are you going to abandon me?" "If Pazar returns..." "A lot of people died in the thief camp." Meng Moxi said with a pun. * * * Suti heard the sound of horseshoes early on.It's coming from the east, there are two people, very fast.

It was a Bedouin who specialized in hunting for prey. Su Ti waited for them to reach the appropriate distance, and immediately drew his bow.He got down on one knee and aimed at the man on his left. The man was shot in the shoulder and fell off his horse on his back.His companion rushed in the direction of the arrow, and Suti followed and aimed at him again.This time the arrow hit the thigh, and the Bedouin screamed in pain, lost control of his mount, and fell into a rock.The two horses continued to circle in place. The Bedouin stood up on his feet, and Su Ti immediately put a sharp knife against his throat and asked, "Where do you come from?"

"From the Tribe of the Sand Traveler." "Where are you camping?" "Behind the black rocks." "Have you caught an Egyptian recently?" "There's one insane who says he's a judge." "What did you do with him?" "The Chief is questioning him." Suti jumped onto the stronger horse and took the rough reins of the other, leaving the two wounded to their own devices. The two horses walked into a path lined with gravel, and the road became more and more steep. Their nostrils were thick and their manes were covered with sweat, and finally they reached the top of the mountain covered with huge boulders. .

The terrain here is quite dangerous. There are hollows among the blackened rocks, and the quicksand swirls in the caves, just like the boilers used to punish the wicked in hell. At the bottom of the steep slope is where tourists camp.Among them, located in the center, the tallest and most gorgeous tent should be the residence of the chief.Horses and sheep are kept in pens.Only two sentries guarded the camp, one to the south and one to the north. Suti waited patiently for dark.These Bedouin specialize in burning, killing and looting, and they are not worthy of respect at all.Su Ti crawled quietly inch by inch, until he got close to the sentinel on the south side, he got up and hit the sentry's neck hard.The wind and sand tourists are people who wander in the desert and wait for opportunities to plunder at any time, so there are not many people staying in the camp.After sneaking in, Suti found the chief's tent, and rushed in through the oval door without much thought.

His whole body was tense and focused, and his energy could explode at any moment. Unexpectedly, Su Ti was stunned by the scene in front of him.The Bedouin chief was lying on some cushions, listening intently to Pazar who was sitting cross-legged.Pazar's movements do not appear to be limited. The chief stood up immediately when he saw the person coming, and Suti also walked towards him. "Don't kill him." Pazar quickly stopped him, "We've already reached a consensus." Suti pressed the chief on the cushion and listened to Pazar's explanation: "I asked the chief about his way of life, and I wanted to make him understand that it was wrong for him to do so. He was surprised that I would rather die than be a slave. So he thought Know how our judiciary works, and "When he loses interest in you, he'll tie you to a horse's tail and let the horse drag you across sharp, sharp gravel. "

"how did you find me?" "How could I not find you?" Suti tied the chief and gagged his mouth, urging: "Let's go, there are two horses waiting on the top of the mountain." "What's the use? I can't go back to Egypt." Pazar looked a little lonely. "Just follow me, stop talking nonsense." "I can't make it through." "Consider that you've been acquitted and that Nefiri is anxiously waiting for you, you'll get through it."
