"So, you called me here because of this kind of thing?" Rosetta, the gem queen, asked the two accompanying bodyguards to wait in the hall, but she walked to the cell door and glared with a slight reproach.
With Palamedes.
Da Mao could only smile bitterly: "I'm really sorry. I really can't find anyone else to help me get out of trouble. Those two guys Seifer and Seglade didn't even answer the phone. It's really unreliable."
"Hmph. Forget it." Rosetta put away the dissatisfaction on her face, showed a look that wanted to laugh, and continued: "I have already heard the police officers tell me the whole story. Although I know this is a very silly incident.
It's a farce. Those police officers have no evidence to prove that you are a criminal, but they are detaining you maliciously. But this is really troublesome - they completely treat you as a terrorist. It's normal.
All criminals can be released on bail, but terrorists are not allowed to be released on bail at all. Egypt's laws are very brutal in this regard. So, it will probably take a lot of effort to get you out of here."
"Those idiot police officers must have made a mistake." Palamedes drooped his ears and felt very aggrieved: "I just went to the airport to see off my friend's flight, why was I suddenly regarded as a terrorist? Besides, I just went to the airport to see off my friend's plane.
They don’t have any evidence. Can a report from an anonymous phone call be taken seriously?”
"Yes, they don't have any evidence to prove that you are a terrorist." Rosetta frowned: "However, there are too many unreasonable things in Egypt's laws. Even if there is no evidence at all, as long as the police confirm
If you have the possibility of committing a crime, you have the right to detain you for four hours. Thanks to that [Egyptian Liberation Movement Organization], the situation in Cairo has been very chaotic recently. Once a terrorist attack is involved, they will
I am even more nervous and will never let him go easily."
The big cat was suddenly stung: "Wait...what did you just say? Four hours?"
"Yes. Four hours." Rosetta raised her eyebrows: "What's wrong?"
"No wonder." Palamedes completely understood now.
Everything behind this is a conspiracy planned by someone.
No wonder there was an anonymous phone call informing the airport that there would be a bomb attack, which delayed Professor Paul's flight for more than two hours before taking off.
It turned out that the Cairo police had a special rule [that they could detain prisoners for four hours without evidence].
If the other party only intended to put Palamedes in jail, then they could have reported it via anonymous phone calls from the beginning. However, the other party did not do this, and instead sent false bomb attack news to the airport.
, causing the airport to delay the flight's departure for another two hours.
Therefore, starting from nine o'clock in the morning, plus the two hours of flight delay, plus the four hours of unreasonable detention by the police station, Palamedes will be delayed until two o'clock in the afternoon. If this is true.
If it becomes like this, then even if Paramedes can escape from the police station and rush to the ring competition venue of the Round Table Trial at full speed, it will definitely be too late.
In this way, Paramedes will be sentenced to defeat due to his absence from the game, and his opponent--that despicable villain Poisoner Bete--will benefit from this game.
win.
Based on this calculation, the motives and methods of the person who plotted against Palamedes this time are very obvious.
"Damn Bette." Palamedes couldn't help but cursed in a low voice.
"What?" Rosetta looked confused, obviously not understanding.
"It was my opponent in this afternoon's competition, Poison Master Bete." Veins appeared on the forehead of the Leopard Warrior: "Whether it was reporting false news about the bomb attack to Cairo Airport, or reporting it anonymously.
Me, it's all because of that bastard Bete. He made me stay in a cell for four hours so that I couldn't get to the Round Table Trial Arena venue in time!"
"Really?" Rosetta finally understood. However, even if she understood, there was still no room for resolution of the incident: "So what are you going to do next? The attitude of the Cairo police is very tough. Even if I come forward, they will not
Are you willing to let me vouch for you? Do you really plan to stay in this cell for four hours and let your opponent succeed?"
"No, it won't." Paramedis hummed, "In that case, I don't have to be polite to those stupid policemen. I'm going to escape from here first."
He pressed the button on his demon-sealing bracelet and tried to open the portal.
However, nothing happened.
"Huh?" The big cat was stunned for a moment.
"Mr. Palamedes, what are you doing now?" Rosetta gave the big cat a blank look.
"Well, I thought I could just use the bracelet to open the portal and escape. Sure enough, it still doesn't work."
Of course it's not possible. This is a prison specially used by the police to detain criminals, and there must be enough measures to prevent escape. The big cat couldn't help but knock on the forehead, and now even Paramedes himself felt that he
Very stupid.
Rosetta, the Queen of Jewels, looked at Palamedes with some sympathy, although she did not open her mouth to laugh at how stupid the big cat was.
"But, Mr. Palamidis, seriously, what are you going to do?" Rosetta asked worriedly: "Do you want me to help notify people in Great Britain and let them help you negotiate with the Egyptian police? Or
, do you need me to use my influence to put pressure on the Egyptian government and ask the police to release you as soon as possible?"
"No need." Palamedes smiled lightly. In fact, he had already thought of the method, although it was a bit crazy.
"If I have to ask people in Great Britain for help even for such a trivial matter, it will probably leave a very bad impression on the organizers of the Round Table Trial. If I do this, I will play into Bett's hands, that is, he wants to
One of the goals achieved. How can we let that despicable villain succeed?"
"But------"
"Rosetta, there is indeed one thing I need your help with, but it is not so exaggerated that I need to use your influence." The big cat changed from an indifferent smile to a sly smile: "Rosetta, you have [
Time]? Ten minutes... No, five minutes is enough."
"Time? What do you mean?" The Gem Queen frowned, expressing that she didn't understand.
The big cat signaled the dark elf to come closer. Rosetta then put her ear closer and let the big cat whisper a few words in her ear.
"That's it." After hearing Paramedes' plan, Rosetta couldn't help but think for a moment: "I don't know if I can do it. But okay, let's give it a try."
"There must be no problem with you." At this time, Palamedes kept staring at the big clock in the lobby of the police station outside the prison.
In fact, the Leopard Soldiers have long noticed that although it is a police station, this is just a small branch of the Cairo Police Department. There are less than five police officers stationed here. Even if you include the idiot detective in the station, there are only six.
They're just people. If Big Cat gets angry, it won't be a problem to kill all six of them within a few minutes. But of course he won't do that. The candidates of Big Cat's current round table trial, to put it exaggeratedly, have a pretty face.
He is a public figure who has been screened by TV. He cannot ignore his own image and go against the police.
However, if he doesn't do something small in this police station, he will indeed be detained until after two o'clock in the afternoon and can't leave. At that time, he will be disqualified from the ring competition because he is late for the game - this kind of
Of course you can't let it happen.
Therefore, the only way that Palamedes thought of was, of course, to borrow some time.
"Hey, handsome guys." Jewel Queen Rosetta suddenly shouted at this time, and the shouting voice was particularly coquettish. The purpose was of course to attract the attention of the six police officers and the detective in the police station: "I have to leave.
"Although I can't help you, can you promise me to take good care of my friends?"
The police officers looked over at the same time, and out of politeness, they said to Ms. Rosetta: "When------"
At that moment, all the police officers in the police station suddenly resisted.
That's right, Rosetta, the Queen of Jewels, used her magic eye to hypnotize everyone who looked at her at that moment. These people had no consciousness in the hypnotic state and could only stand there motionless.
, let others slaughter you!
"It's now, hurry up." Palamedes reminded in a low voice.
"There's no need to rush." Rosetta didn't rush to do anything. Instead, she took out a very small rope from her arms. The rope seemed to be woven with transparent thin threads, and the rope was just like a shoelace.
Thin, yet crystal clear throughout.
Palamedes just felt that the material of the string looked familiar. Rosetta over there had already raised the string and flung it out like a tentacle. The crystal string was actually in Rosetta.
It began to move freely under its will, and it went straight to the ancient clock that told time in the lobby of the police station. In an instant, it hit the face of the clock and began to move the hands on the clock.
The hands on the big clock were set exactly five minutes forward.
"Is this enough?" Rosetta asked: "The police station is quite far away from your examination venue. I can only buy you five minutes, but it may not be enough?"
"No, that's enough, thank you." Palamedes said, "If you set the clock forward again, the police will notice something abnormal. You can only set it forward five minutes, which is the limit."
"But------"
"Don't worry, five minutes is enough for me to rush from here to the arena at the Red Sea." Palamedes said confidently.
"Okay then." Rosetta withdrew the crystal string, then made exactly the same movements as before, and blinked.
Her hypnosis was lifted. The restrained police officers began to move again, as if the time they had been frozen in had suddenly resumed.
"Then, I'm leaving." Queen Rosetta winked at Palamedes: "I wish you good luck. Don't lose to the despicable person who plots against you. I will come to support you in the arena competition this afternoon.
You cheered me up."
"Thank you." The Leopard Warrior replied politely.
The Queen of Jewels smiled brightly and left the police station with her two bodyguards. As she walked out, she also captured countless admiring looks from the police officers.
And Palamedes suddenly discovered that there was a crystal-like string in his pocket, which was the same crystal string that Rosetta had just used to dial the clock from a distance.
