Chapter 36 Chapter Thirty-Six

Doctors from general medicine, surgery, ophthalmology, dentistry and various other specialties participated in Nefeli's investiture ceremony.The ceremony was held in the open-air square of the temple of the beautiful woman of Sek, the patron saint of doctors, and the host was the aging Prime Minister Bhaji.Seeing that women have ascended to the leading position in the medical field, except for a few male doctors who are slightly criticized in order to express their protest and dissatisfaction.The average Egyptian is not surprised. For this grand event, Leopard also showed its skills.Nefiri dressed and groomed herself: a dress of immaculate white, a large carnelian necklace around her neck, lapis lazuli chains on her wrists and heels, and a wig made into countless braids.The noble demeanor made the soft-eyed and delicate Nefiri even faintly majestic.

The elder members of the Physician Committee put on a leopard skin for her, symbolizing that from now on, she must always infuse energy into the huge body of Egypt, just like the priest who gave life to the royal mummies in the regeneration ceremony.Then, the elder handed over the seal and the pencil case.The former represents the power to command doctors across the country, while the latter is used to formulate various public health laws and then submit them to the Prime Minister. In the end, the elder explained Nefiri's duties in a short time, and asked her to obey the will of the gods and benefit the people.Pazar could not contain his excitement when Nefiri took the oath.He hid aside and wiped away his tears.

* * * The baboon finally endured the pain with Cam's company, and gradually recovered its energy. Thanks to Nefili's careful care, there were no sequelae.Not only did it recover its amazing appetite, but it also put itself into the work of patrolling and monitoring again. Pazar hugged the killer emotionally. "I will never forget that you saved my life." But Cam warned: "Don't spoil it too much, or it will lose its fierce temperament and be in danger. Didn't any accident happen?" "Since I resigned, there has been no danger." "What are your future plans?"

"Go to the outskirts of the city to be a judge and do your best for the common people. If you encounter any problems, I will notify you." "Do you still believe in justice?" "I'm sorry, but I must admit that you are right." "Actually, I want to quit my job too." "Stay in office. At least you can arrest criminals and maintain the safety of the people." "Another amnesty isn't for naught... No matter what happens again. I'm not surprised anymore, I'm just sorry for you." "Although our sphere of influence is limited, we still have to sit up straight. My biggest concern, Cam, is that you no longer support me."

"I was trapped at Kadashi's house, and I didn't go to the pier to see him off. I was so mad." "How is the result?" "Three were poisoned. But who planned it? The two young men were the sons of a charlatan. The funeral was very low-key, with no one in attendance except a few priests. It's really the nastiest case I've ever dealt with. Because Ka Dahi was originally from Libya, so his body was not buried in Egypt." "Could it be that someone wanted to murder them?" Pazar wondered. "Do you think it's the one who attacked you?"

"During the Opel Festival, Dennis asked me about Kadashi's reaction, and I honestly told him that he planned to confess before drinking drugs." "Dainis probably wants to kill people to silence..." "Why so fierce?" "It must have involved major interests. Dainis must have hired an assassin, and I must find him out. Now that the 'killer' has recovered, we can reopen the investigation." "I've been thinking about one thing. Kadashi seems to be very sure that he can escape the death penalty:" "He believes that Dennis will help him find a way."

"Perhaps. But his arrogance...as if he foresaw an amnesty." "Has the secret been revealed?" "Then I'll hear about it too." "Wrong, you must be the last to know, the courtiers all know your uncompromising personality." Pazar really didn't want to admit the doubts in his heart.He was afraid that Ramses and Dainis would collude, leading to corruption at the top of the country, and this paradise would fall into the hands of villains eager for profit. Cam could see the judge's uneasiness. "Now only the facts can tell—everything, so I'm going to follow the line to find out who attacked you. His confession must be very valuable."

"It's your turn to be careful, Cam." * * * Cripple is one of the best dealers in the secret markets of Memphis.Whenever a cargo ship comes into the port carrying various goods, vendors will gather at the market transformed from the wharf to conduct transactions.The police always closely monitor these transactions, and the tax collectors also impose taxes ruthlessly.In fact, the cripple in his sixties could have retired long ago and enjoyed his old age in a villa in the riverside area, but he just liked to deceive those laymen.The most recent one was a treasury clerk who claimed to be an ebony expert. Under the instigation and flattery of dealers, he bought high-end furniture imitated by ordinary wood at a high price.

And now there's another big fish for the bait: An upstart wants to collect the shields of the ever-warrior Nubian warriors, because he thinks creating a little danger in a safe home must feel good and worth it. invest.So the stolen goods are linked to the skilled craftsmen.They counterfeited a batch of shields that were almost real, and even chopped the shields uneven, as if they had really experienced countless fierce battles. His warehouse is full of similar top-quality goods, all of which he has painstakingly obtained, and each piece is exquisitely crafted.As for the targets of his attack, they are all stupid and conceited rich people.As he unlocked the warehouse door, he couldn't help laughing as he thought about the next day's transaction.

The moment he pushed open the door, a fluffy black animal skin suddenly covered him. He was trapped in the animal skin for a while, but fell when he tried to break free, so he had to shout for help. "Quietly," Cam said, letting him breathe. "It's you...what are you doing?" "Do you recognize this skin?" "I don't know." "to be honest." "I'm telling the truth." "You're one of my best informants, but now I want you to answer as a businessman. Has anyone ever bought a large male baboon from you?" "I rarely trade animals."

"Baboons of that size should only be available in the police force. Only a scum like you can smuggle in." "You are accusing me of disorderly security." "I know you have a big appetite." "not me." "You've got the killer on fire this time." "I do not know anything." "It seems that the killer will come to ask you in person." The lame man could not evade any more, so he said, "I did hear that a big whisk was caught in the Eliphantine area. Of course it is a great deal, but it has nothing to do with me. I am only in charge of transporting it." "Should have made a lot of money?" "Trouble yourself, it's true to spend money to eliminate disasters." "Don't try to win my sympathy. I just want to know one thing. Who did you help get this baboon?" "Isn't that good..." He saw the baboon policeman glaring at him in the blink of an eye, and the melon seeds were pawing impatiently on the ground, so he had no choice but to ask, "Will you keep the secret for me?" "Do you think killers talk too much?" "Don't let anyone know that I said, go to 'Short Legs'." * * * This man really lived up to his name: a big head, a hairy chest, and a pair of ridiculously short legs that were thick and strong.Since he was a child, he has been carrying goods and fruit and vegetable boxes for a living. Later, he became his own boss, with more than a hundred vegetable and fruit retailers under his control.In addition to this legitimate occupation, Shortlegs also engages in some lucrative illegal trades. Seeing Cam and the baboon appear, he said unhappily, "I followed the rules." "You don't seem to like the police very much?" "Not since you became Chief Constable." "Because you have a bad conscience?" "Ask any questions." "Are you in such a hurry to answer the question?" "Anyway, your baboon will force me sooner or later, so let's end it sooner." "It's about baboons that I want to ask." "I'm most afraid of these monsters." "But you bought one from the cripple." Short Legs pretended to be busy arranging the boxes to hide his uneasiness. "It was ordered for someone else." "Who?" "A strange fellow." "What is your name?" "have no idea." "Describe what he looks like." "No way." "It's unbelievable." Cam wondered. "Usually my powers of observation are very keen, but this man who wanted to buy a large baboon was like a ghost, which he could not touch or see. He wore a wig that covered his forehead and even his eyes, and his baggy robe covered his eyes. Even if I see him again, I won’t recognize him. Besides, the time for face-to-face transactions is too short. He even saves the process of bargaining.” "What about his voice?" "It's weird, I think he must have changed his voice on purpose, maybe with a fruit pit in his mouth or something." "Did you see him afterward?" "No." This road is also no longer feasible, Pazar lost his position, Kadashi died, and the assassin's mission should also end. * * * Shabab put a few hairpins on her bun and said jokingly, "It's a rare visitor, Judge Pazar, please allow me to comb it first. You don't need my services so early in the morning, do you? " "You don't need to serve, as long as you talk." In this ostentatiously decorated place, the fragrance was so thick that it made people dizzy. Pazar tried to find a window to breathe but could not. "Does your wife know you're coming?" "I never hide anything from her." "Wonderful, she is truly a special woman and an outstanding doctor." "You seem to have the habit of keeping a diary." Pazar cut to the point without further ado. "You are no longer the elder of the gate hall. In what capacity are you asking me?" "As a junior judge. You don't have to answer." "Who told you about my habits?" "Suti. He believes that you must have Dennis's braid." "Souty is a good guy with great sex skills... I can do something for him." Shabab stood up enchantingly and walked behind the tent.After a while, she took out a roll of paper and said: "I recorded the eccentricities, abnormal behaviors and ulterior desires of some noble customers in it. But when I read it again, I felt disappointed. The dignitaries and nobles in Egypt are all healthy. , the physiology and psychology of making love are also normal, so I have no news to give you. Let us forget the past." After she finished speaking, she tore the paper into pieces, but was surprised by Pazar's indifference: "You didn't stop me. What if I lied?" "I believe you." Shabab looked at Pazar with greedy eyes. "I'm sorry I can't help you, and I can't make love to you. Let Nefiri live a happy life. As long as you think of her, your life will be good." * * * Su Ti's naked body was softer than a papyrus pole swaying in the wind. The leopard bowed its head and kissed it lightly, then stopped, and kissed up again, and then slowly kissed his lover's lips like this.Su Ti couldn't stand her gentle caressing, so he rolled over and held her down.Their feet are intertwined, their arms are tightly embraced, and their passion is as turbulent as the Nile River, but they all have a burning pleasure in their hearts.Both know that it is the full enjoyment and release of desire that makes them inseparable from each other, but they are unwilling to admit it.Relying on the enthusiasm and gentle caress of the Fire Temple, the leopard easily awakened Su Ti's dormant energy.Sutine called her the "Libyan cat", because when she went to the western desert alone, she was as brave as a lion, but when she came back, she was as gentle and charming as a house cat.Every move of the leopard can arouse dizzying and painful lust; she and Su Shi are like playing a harp, and a harmonious music flows out with her lust. "I'll take you to a restaurant in the city. There's a Greek restaurant that's just opened. There's meat made from grape leaves. There's also white wine from Greece," Suti said. "When are we going to get the gold?" Leopard asked noncommittally. "When I have the energy to go out." "I think you're almost recovered..." "It's tiring to make love to you, but it's easier than hiking in the desert. I still need to recover." "I'll go with you, you can't do it without me." "Who should I sell the gold to so that I won't be accused?" "You can find Libyans." "No. We have to find a way to settle it in Memphis, otherwise we will go to Thebes. This kind of transaction is very dangerous." "It's so exciting! For the money, it's worth it!" "By the way, Leopard...how did you feel when you killed that policeman?" "I'm afraid I'll miss it." "Have you ever killed someone before?" "At that time, I just wanted to save you, and I succeeded. If you want to leave me later, I will kill you." * * * Su Ti savored the unique atmosphere of Memphis, but couldn't help being shocked. He didn't expect that Memphis had become so strange after staying in the desert for a long time.In the fig tree area.A large crowd rushed to the vicinity of the Temple of Hador to hear the dates of the next few festivals.There are also some recruits who took the military area to collect equipment.There are also merchants driving donkey carts to warehouses to batch grains and fresh fruits and vegetables.In the port of "Bon voyage", there are crew members who have just arrived at the port, humming traditional songs while unloading cargo. The Greek restaurant opened in a laneway in the southern suburbs, not far from Pazar's first office.As soon as Su Ti and Leopard walked in, they were shocked to hear several screams of fear.I saw a carriage rushing through the narrow alley, and the female passenger in the carriage was frightened, and the reins were loosened from her hands.As a result, the car body became unstable, the left wheel hit the wall of a room, the carriage overturned, and the woman fell to the ground.It was only later that several passers-by Taili subdued the crazy horse. Suti ran over to see the situation of the wounded.However, Ni Nuofa, whose head was dripping with blood, was dying. * * * After the people present gave Ninofa initial first aid, they rushed her to the hospital.Not only did she have complex contusions, three fractures in her left leg, but also a sunken chest and cervical spine injuries. It really depends on a miracle to survive.Once at the hospital, Nefeli and two surgeons operated on her immediately.Fortunately, Ninuofa was in excellent physical condition and finally escaped death, but she will have to rely on crutches to walk in the future. She was soon able to speak, so Keim asked the doctor's permission to question her with Pazar. "The judge will accompany the interrogation as a witness." Cam explained, "I think this is better." "Why are you so careful?" Ninofa asked. "Because I think the cause of the accident is suspicious." "It's the horse pulling the cart that has lost its rein... I can't control it." "Do you often drive alone?" Pazar asked. "of course not." "Then why this time?" "At first, a servant helped me drive the cart, but after I got into the cart, something suddenly hit the horse, probably a stone. As a result, the horse was frightened, stood up and neighed for a while, and then began to run wildly." "Isn't this murder?" Ninofa's head was still wrapped in a bandage, and her exposed eyes flickered a little. "Not too possible." "I suspect it's your husband." "hateful!" "Am I wrong? Under his noble appearance, there is actually a mean and vain heart. He has always only thought of his own interests." Ninofa seemed quite shocked. Pazar took advantage of the victory and chased after him: "You are also suspected." "I?" "The murder weapon that killed Blarney was a shell needle, and you happen to be a master of needles." Ninofa hurriedly sat up. "It's terrible... how dare you accuse me like that!" "If it hadn't been for the amnesty, you would have been sentenced for illegally dealing in fabrics, clothing, etc. Isn't crime always repeated?" "Why are you so desperate?" "Because your husband led a conspiracy and you were his closest accomplice, right?" Ninofa grinned sadly. "Your information is incorrect, Judge Pazar. Before the accident, I was contemplating a divorce." "But you changed your mind?" "Because someone wanted to punish Dennis through me, I couldn't leave him at his most difficult time." "Forgive my recklessness. I wish you a speedy recovery." * * * The two of them sat on a long stone bench.The stillness of the baboons showed that they were not being followed. "What do you think, Cam?" "It's hopelessly stupid. She just didn't understand that she was the rich one, and as soon as they divorced, Dainis would become a pauper. Of course he wanted to get rid of her. However, Dainis didn't realize that he was actually It's a sure bet, even if Ninuofa doesn't die in an accident, she will reunite with him! There is really no richer woman who is more stupid than her." "You're being rude, but it's to the point," Pazar said. "I'm also sure of one thing: she wasn't the murderer of Blarney."
