Ma Qiuqi knelt down, kowtowed to the king a few times, and said, "Thank you for the king's grace, on behalf of the shamans, I sincerely thank the king for his grace." We would like to live in Cairo because it has rich cultural resources, rich historical accumulation, and humanistic foundation, and only here can our skills be fully utilized. We are willing to contribute to the cultural development of Egypt. ”

"Very good, I hope you will do it yourself, you can go back."

Ma Qiuqi bowed deeply and retreated respectfully.

Richard turned off the lighter, and he was indignant at the shameful scene he had just seen, and for a moment he was filled with righteous indignation and anger, and said in his heart: "This old lady is a despicable and filthy villain who has given a skull from someone else as a gift to the monarch of another country, and has trampled justice and justice under his feet!" But Tianli has its own day, and sooner or later she will be retributed! ”

At this moment, Lisa walked in, and Richard told her that the skull had been tricked out by a shaman.

Narissa shrugged her shoulders and said regretfully, "Looks like we have to go to Egypt." ”

"Yes, I must go, I must seek justice from the king, and I must turn my bones, otherwise, I will come to Atlantis in vain."

Na asked, "I heard you say on the phone yesterday that there is going to be a tsunami, what is going on?" ”

"Oh, yes, when Ma Qiuqi used the skull to heal the chief's son, she had a soul conversation with the crystal skull, and the skull told her that a great tsunami was about to befall the land of Atlantis. The time is about half a year. ”

"Oh my God, is there really going to be a tsunami? It's horrible. Wouldn't all the people on this continent be swallowed up by the tsunami, and maybe even this continent would sink to the bottom of the sea? ”

"Yes, I think we should inform everyone in Daxi Continent of this news as soon as possible, which method do you think is the most feasible and fastest?"

"Of course, it's in the newspaper, and as soon as the newspaper is published, the whole country will know about it, and ** will take measures, maybe there will be time to evacuate."

"You're right, then I'll go to the newspaper tomorrow."

"Yes, the sooner the better, and when we finish the paper, we must also leave for Egypt as soon as possible to recover our skulls."

"Okay."

The next morning, Richard first went to the "News" office and posted a message, and then rushed to the "Daxizhou Daily" office and published the same news:

"Citizens of the whole country, now I have bad news to you, a great tsunami is about to befall our country in half a year, and our beautiful and rich land is facing a catastrophe! I hereby appeal to my country** to take countermeasures as soon as possible for security. Anyone who sees this news has the obligation to inform all the people around them as soon as possible, so that everyone can prepare as soon as possible. A man of conscience declares. ”

As soon as the news appeared in the news, it immediately caused an uproar in the whole society.

In every office, in every mall, in every restaurant, in every home, people talk about the news of the approaching tsunami.

People are arguing, arguing, arguing, speculating, and for a while there are different opinions.

In the afternoon, the doorbell of the old house was ringed.

When Richard opened the door, he saw several police officers and several men in court uniforms.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Are you Mr. Richard?"

"Yes."

"Okay, we'll look for you." A police officer stared at him sternly and said, "Did you post a message in the 'Shimbun' and 'Dainishishu Newspaper' saying that a tsunami was about to hit our country?" ”

"Uh...... Yes...... That's what I posted. ”

"Alright, please come with us to the courthouse."

Richard asked, "Ah, why is that?" What royal law did I violate? ”

The police officer raised his handcuffs and said, "You have violated the law of disturbing public order and spreading false statements, and now you will follow me to the police station for investigation." ”

Richard snapped free of the officer's hand and snapped, "I didn't break the law!" Let me go! ”

The police officer sneered: "Please be respectful, Mr. Li, we are enforcing the law." If you go by yourself, I will not handcuff you, and if you insist on not leaving, I will forcibly take you away! ”

Richard had no choice but to let the police officer handcuff him and escort him into the police car.

Dean's Office.

A jailer escorted Richard into the office of the court president: "Report to the president, the prisoner is here." ”

The president of the court looked at Richard and smiled gloomily: "You are Richard, do you know how serious your case is?" ”

Richard sat down: "I don't know. ”

President of the Court: "Then let me ask you, where did you get the news that you are talking about a tsunami about to hit our country?" ”

Richard said: "Anyway, I just know, as for where it came from, I can't tell you, anyway, it's not gossip, but there are clear channels." ”

President of the Court: "What channel?" ”

"I can't say."

The situation froze, and the two stared at each other without backing down.

Richard said, "Please let me go immediately, otherwise." I'm going to find a lawyer and fight a lawsuit to prove my innocence. ”

President of the Court: "I think this lawsuit is difficult to fight, if you can't come up with strong proof that your news comes from the official, or from a serious scientist, or from a reliable official media, then you have committed the law of creating and disseminating false statements and disturbing the law of public order, which are very serious and have extremely serious consequences." ”

"I'm not spreading false claims, my news naturally has a source, but this source, I can't say."

Richard was conflicted, should he tell the true source of the news?

The news of the tsunami was revealed to him by Crystal Skull, but he felt that he could not name the skull. Because as soon as it is spoken, those with ulterior motives know that the skull is in his hands, and he is immediately in danger of being assassinated. The skull will be lost again. Moreover, the general public did not believe this news, and regarded this rumor from the skull as a superstition, sensational, and deceitful nonsense.

The president of the court shrugged his shoulders and said, "What, there is a source?" Can't say yet? That's not going to be easy, Mr. Richard, I can't let you go, and I'm going to be sentenced to a very serious crime. ”

"Convicted? Joke! I used to be a detective and section chief of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, and later a senior agent of the Military Intelligence Agency. Every word I say is well-founded. ”

"However, your message does not mention any credible sources or scientific evidence."

"I reported this news for a very simple motive, that is, to save people from fire and water, not to gain fame or seek personal gain, I did not get a penny from it, I just did my duty as an upright citizen, reminding the general public to pay attention to the arrival of a natural disaster as soon as possible."

"It's useless to have good intentions, you know, the law is about evidence. If you can't produce evidence, if you don't provide the source, I can't do anything. Go back and reflect on it. ”

The dean put on a look of helplessness and sent Richard out the door.

Dean's Office.

The dean was leaning over the desk to review the documents, when suddenly the secretary walked in and reported: "Dean, someone asks to see you." ”

"Oh, who? Bring him to me. ”

The person who came was an old man with white hair, and the dean smiled when he saw him, "It turned out to be you, old friend, is there something wrong?" ”

The old man said: "Of course there is something, you are so busy, I have nothing to do and never bother you." ”

The dean said, "If there is anything, please tell me directly." ”

Old man: "Well, that's right, I have a friend who asked me to find you for a favor, uh, have you recently caught someone who spreads rumors in the newspaper?" ”

The dean was a little vigilant: "Yes, there is this person, what's wrong?" ”

The old man said: "You and I have been old friends for many years, and I don't talk around the bend anymore, so you'd better give a heavy sentence to this person." ”

The dean was surprised and asked, "Oh, a heavy sentence?" Well, heavy sentence...... I'd like to hear what kind of sentence counts as a heavy sentence? ”

"You are the president of the court, you should know what kind of sentence counts as a heavy sentence. Do you still need me to say it? ”

"In general, imprisonment for more than 20 years, life imprisonment and the death penalty are considered heavy sentences. How much do your friends want me to sentence him? ”

The old man smiled: "Of course, the heavier the better, for example...... Death penalty. ”

The dean smiled, "Ah, your friend wants me to sentence him to death...... What department or company is your friend from? ”

"Metco Company."

"Oh, Metco. However, what I hold in my hand is a public weapon, and I can't give and receive it privately, and I can't promise it privately. Moreover, the punishment is not something that I want to be heavy, but I will be sentenced, and this will only be known after the trial. ”

The old man rolled his eyes and released the bait: "This friend of mine said that as long as you sentence Richard to death, he is willing to give out 100 gold bars." ”

"Oh, 100? …… What's this...... This one...... I ......"

"150."

"Uh...... Belch...... Uh......"

"300."

"Okay, since he is so bold, I have no reason not to agree to your friend, you let him transfer the money to my card, you go back and wait for good news."

The old man's treacherous eyes flashed, and a trace of laughter appeared on the corner of his mouth.

At 9 a.m. on Wednesday, the auditorium in the capital's No. 1 courtroom was full.

The prosecutor and defense lawyers were seated separately, and the witness seats were empty.

Richard was escorted to the prisoner's seat by two prison guards.

Nickerson, the director of criminal investigation sitting in the third row, looked at Na Lisa, who was sitting in the back row.

Apparently, Lisa approached Richard for Richard's arrest and wanted him to clear up for him and get him released before he was transferred to justice. But Nickerson said that Richard's case was tricky, that he had broken the law, and that as the chief of criminal investigation, it was inconvenient for him to interfere with justice. He could only express sympathy for Richard.
