The ultimate master in the city

Chapter 50 Imprisonment

It wasn't until the police pinned them to the bed and handcuffed them that Zhou Fengchen and Monk Yuanzhi fully regained their senses. However, they looked at each other, still completely bewildered. What was going on?

Monk Yuanzhi shouted, "Officers, what have we done wrong? Why are you arresting us like this?"

A hairy-faced policeman asked coldly, "Which of you is Zhou Fengchen?"

Zhou Fengchen looked up and said, "Me? What's wrong?"

"That's it! Take them all!"

The hairy-faced policeman waved his hand, and the two were escorted downstairs.

The neighbors in the community usually don't even see a ghost, but after this incident, a lot of people gathered around, pointing and talking, watching with great interest. An old lady and a little girl on the first floor even grabbed a handful of fried peanuts each, eating them while watching.

Zhou Fengchen and his companion felt their faces burning with embarrassment; it was too shameful! Completely bewildered, they were led out of the alley and into two police cars. Before getting into one, Monk Yuanzhi yelled at Zhou Fengchen, "Brother, we're really damn unlucky! We just lost money, and now we're facing jail time. It's like you asking me if I get sleepy when I'm chanting a wooden fish!"

Zhou Fengchen was initially in no mood to pay attention to him, but the last sentence of Monk Yuanzhi was too strange. After thinking for a moment, he knew what he wanted to say. Monk Yuanzhi liked to knock on the wooden fish when he had nothing to do. When Zhou Fengchen asked him if he would fall asleep while knocking, Monk Yuanzhi said: "Don't talk nonsense, or Buddha will be angry."

Does that mean I shouldn't say anything inappropriate? Zhou Fengchen gave a wry smile. "Forget it! I don't even know what you mean. What are you saying? I'm leaving!"

……

Zhou Fengchen was swayed and dragged into the police station in a police car. Before he could even see where Monk Yuanzhi was, he was taken to the interrogation room.

Two police officers were sitting at the table opposite them: a middle-aged male officer and a young female officer taking notes.

The male police officer asked expressionlessly, "Name!"

Zhou Fengchen answered honestly, "Zhou Fengchen."

"gender?"

"……male."

"age?"

"21".

"Where are you from?"

"My hometown is Shaanxi, and I'm considered a local now."

The male police officer frowned and asked, "Do you know what you've done?"

Zhou Fengchen's face turned cold, and he said in a sinister tone, "I also want to know what I've done wrong. Don't blame me for being ruthless if you don't give a reasonable explanation!"

He's educated and has legal awareness, but that doesn't mean he can be wronged. It would be easy for him to run away from here, take care of a few people to vent his anger.

"Snapped!"

The male police officer slammed his fist on the table. "What kind of attitude is that! Is this a place where you can act so arrogantly?"

Zhou Fengchen closed his eyes and remained silent.

The male police officer continued, "You know that twenty-one people died in the old city last night, right?"

Twenty-one people died? Zhou Fengchen opened his eyes: "What's it to me?"

The male police officer sneered, "The deceased are Jiang Suoshen and Monk Yimu..."

Zhou Fengchen's heart skipped a beat, and he asked in surprise, "They're all dead?"

The male police officer said, "What? Pretty proud of your methods?"

Zhou Fengchen frowned: "I didn't kill them, what's there for me to be proud of?"

"Still trying to deny it?" the male police officer sneered. "On September 16th, at 3:20 PM, you and Monk Yimu had a fight at the Freedom Club. A heated argument ensued, and you won, thus creating a grudge. Last night, you met at the Brilliant Starlight Nightclub, where the conflict escalated over a competition for hostesses. That night, you, along with Monk Yuanzhi (whose real name is Zhang Danian), used mysterious means to kill twenty-one people, including Monk Yimu and Jiang Suoshen."

Zhou Fengchen scratched his head. "What nonsense are you spouting? Why would I need to kill so many people?"

The male police officer nodded, and the female police officer next to him opened her laptop, played a video, and turned it to show Zhou Fengchen. The video showed a surveillance camera showing Zhou Fengchen and Monk Yuanzhi sneakily following Jiang Suoshen and his group towards the old city in the rain.

After the video finished playing, Zhou Fengchen's heart raced. Just as he was about to speak, the male police officer took out another photo and threw it in front of him.

Zhou Fengchen looked down and couldn't help but gasp. Now that he'd done this, he really did look like a murderer!

The photo showed Monk Yimu lying on the ground with his eyes rolled back and blood flowing from his seven orifices. Next to his right hand were five crooked, bloody characters: Zhou Fengchen killed me!

The male police officer shouted, "The evidence is irrefutable! Still trying to deny it? Confess now!"

Zhou Fengchen said quietly, "Confess to your grandma! I'm innocent."

……

As darkness fell, Zhou Fengchen gritted his teeth and said nothing. He was then led to a small, empty room with iron windows and doors, heavily guarded.

He had no intention of running away. He squatted on the ground, pondering the matter. He was willing to bet that this was definitely the work of that shaman "hairy monster" Doromogan. This beast had killed someone and then framed him to avenge the incident that night.

But... I wonder if this bastard will retaliate against the family, and whether the old man and the others will remember what I told them that day?

Also, what is Monk Yuanzhi doing right now?

He pondered and pondered, but had no clue what to do. He simply lay down on the ground and took a nap.

Half-asleep, a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Zhou Fengchen!"

Zhou Fengchen got up and looked out the door. The iron door was made of stainless steel, with only a small window, so he couldn't see who it was. He casually replied, "What?"

The man chuckled, "Twenty-one lives! That's a capital offense, hahaha."

Zhou Fengchen was stunned for a moment. Why did that voice sound so familiar?

The man continued, "So you've finally met your match? Where's your arrogance? Where's your skill? Show me what you've got!"

Zhou Fengchen jumped in surprise and kicked the door, yelling, "Doromo, you son of a bitch!"

"Ouch!"

The person outside seemed to have been hit on the nose, letting out a painful cry, and said in a muffled voice, "You think you can just come out like that? Are you an idiot?"

Zhou Fengchen said, "I'm not trying to be mean, but someone like you only knows how to use underhanded tricks. If it comes to real skill, I could slap you to death."

The person outside was panting heavily. "Anyone can talk big! Do you dare come out? Are you trying to run away?"

"Whether I run away or not is none of your business. I knew you couldn't beat me; even if your whole family attacked me, you still couldn't win!"

"How naive that is!"

The people outside clicked their tongues and said, "Originally, your grandfather killed my grandfather, and I killed your grandfather, so the matter was even. But you insisted on interfering, and you happen to be quite capable, even injuring my Greatsword General. Now this matter is one of life and death."

Zhou Fengchen said, "Are you out of your mind? What kind of talk is that?"

Just then, someone shouted from not far away, "Who's there?"

Doromo lowered his voice and said, "Take your time. I'll give you a month. If you don't get out by then, don't blame me for killing your whole family!"

He finished speaking and left with a strange laugh.

Zhou Fengchen, panting heavily, raised his hand towards the iron gate, then lowered it after a moment's thought.

After this incident, he lost his sleepiness and sat listlessly on the ground waiting for dawn, wondering if he was really in trouble this time!

……

Around 8 a.m., the iron gate suddenly opened, and a policeman waved his hand: "You can go now!"

Zhou Fengchen stood up and casually asked, "Where to?"

The policeman glared at him and said, "You're fine now, go wherever you want, what does it have to do with me?"

"what?"

The incident happened so suddenly that it completely bewildered Zhou Fengchen.

……

After leaving the police station, Zhou Fengchen stood outside and exchanged a glance with Monk Yuanzhi, who had also come out. Looking at the bustling street, he still felt completely bewildered.

"Why...are they out again?"

"How would I know?" Monk Yuanzhi shrugged. "They went in confused and came out inexplicably."

Zhou Fengchen said, "Yesterday they almost sentenced me to death, and that bastard Doromo laughed at me for ages. I never expected to be out again like this, damn it!"

As the two were talking, a girl's voice came from ahead: "Want some breakfast? My treat."
