Chapter 69 Prison Disaster
Cui Li, who was running fast in front, felt a chill slowly invading his body. He didn't feel anything just now, but now it was so cold that it made him shiver.

He was stopped by Zhou Chen before he ran a hundred meters. Zhou Chen stood on a tree, holding the Black Abyss in his hand, and eight spider legs appeared behind him. With the blessing of the extreme cold domain, the Black Abyss in his hand was covered with a layer of frost. The originally black blade was now slightly white, and even the spider legs behind him were covered with a layer of light white frost.

"Since I have decided to kill you, I will never let you leave this place safely. If you have any last words, please tell me now."

Cui Li decided not to run away now, knowing that he couldn't escape. "Haha, I do have one last word."

"Oh, tell me about it."

"Boy, tell Qin Yong to find a way to kill you," he said, looking at Zhou Chen with a playful expression.

"Hahaha, don't worry, I will tell him your original words when I kill him."

Then he exerted force with his feet and rushed towards Cui Li. Due to the weakening of the extreme cold domain, Cui Li's strength had been reduced to 864. At this time, he still had the strength to compete with Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen chopped down with his sword, and as Heiyuan fell, the pale white icy sword energy also scattered. With the blessing of the extreme cold domain, the sword energy emitted by Zhou Chen Heiyuan also had ice attributes.

Zhou Chen did not use the eight spider legs behind him, but instead held the Black Abyss in a fair fight with Cui Li. The icy blade energy slowly eroded Cui Li's body, and even the Demon-Suppressing Blade in his hand was covered with frost.

It was so cold that he could hardly hold the knife in his hand. Zhou Chen suddenly became ruthless and increased the strength in his hands. He immediately chopped the Demon-Suppressing Knife in Cui Li's hand away.

Then, in front of Cui Li's horrified eyes, he beheaded him with a knife. After the beheading, no blood flowed from Cui Li's neck because his blood had already coagulated at this time.

Zhou Chen raised his left hand and the tree roots and vines broke through the ground and directly pulled Cui Li's body underneath. After doing all this, Zhou Chen withdrew his magical powers and returned to Qinghua County Government Office.

When he came back, the county government office was in chaos. Lord Xia had called back all the detectives who were on leave. Zhou Chen ignored that and went back to Leng Yiyao's room to see if she was okay.

As soon as she entered the door, Leng Yiyao said, "Brother Chen, you are finally back. Lord Xia just sent someone to look for you."

Zhou Chen nodded, "Okay, I understand." Then he gave Leng Yiyao a few instructions and left the room to go to Lord Xia. Needless to say, it was definitely about the murder of those girls.

After arriving at Lord Xia's place, Zhou Chen discovered that Zhao Kuo and Qin Yong were also here, and the faces of the three of them were not looking good.

Zhou Chen bowed to Lord Xia and then found an empty seat and sat down. Lord Xia looked at Qin Yong and said, "Lord Qin asked you to come, but you haven't come yet?"
Qin Yong shook his head and said, "I don't know. I have already sent him a message, but he has not responded."

At this time Zhou Chen interrupted and said, "Nothing will happen to Master Cui, right?"
"Brother Zhou, what do you mean by this? Do you really want to cause something to happen to the adults?"
"Lord Qin, you've misunderstood. I was just guessing. Don't take it to heart."

Then Zhou Chen looked at Lord Xia and asked, "My Lord, I wonder what it is that brings you to me so late at night?"
Lord Xia then informed Zhou Chen about the murder of a young girl who was temporarily staying in the county government office. Zhou Chen pretended to be shocked and said, "How could such a thing happen? Can you find out who the murderer is?"
"It should be the work of a humanoid monster."

"Sir, have you forgotten about him?" Qin Yong pointed at Zhou Chen, who picked up the teacup on the table and threw it to the ground.

The loud bang startled Zhao Kuo, but Qin Yong stood up fearlessly and looked at Zhou Chen and asked, "Why do you feel guilty, brother Zhou?"
At this moment, Zhou Chen really wanted to kill him, but with outsiders here, it was difficult for Zhou Chen to do it. He had to suppress his anger and said viciously in his heart, "Just wait and see, I will kill you."

"If you say so, I have nothing to say," and then looked at Lord Xia and said, "Please clear my name, Lord."

"It's natural".

"Sir, Zhou Chen is also a criminal suspect and should be imprisoned immediately." "Sir Qin, this is not necessary, right?"
Zhou Chen was so angry that he crushed a corner of the table with his right hand. Qin Yong took out his token and said, "Sir, please put him in jail."

Lord Xia sighed and said, "Xiaochen, I'm sorry to inconvenience you this time."

There was no way around it. According to official positions, Qin Yong was above him, so Lord Xia had to listen to him.

"I hope that you can find out the real murderer as soon as possible and clear my name."

"That's for sure," he said, and then shouted outside, "Someone come here," and then two detectives came in.

"Take Zhou Chen into jail for the time being and wait for your decision." Just when several people wanted to go forward to arrest him, Zhou Chen said directly, "No need to go back to the old place," and then walked straight out the door.

Qin Yong smiled when he saw Zhou Chen being taken into custody. Although Zhou Chen was taken into custody, he was different from other prisoners in that he was locked up in a separate cell, which was unusually clean.

This cell was specially prepared by the government for powerful people.

When Leng Yiyao learned that Zhou Chen was imprisoned, she was stunned for a moment. She rushed to Lord Xia like a madman and begged him to let Zhou Chen go. After learning the news, Xia Rong also cursed her father and asked if he was confused and why he imprisoned Zhou Chen.

Lord Xia was also speechless and could only say that it was Qin Yong's idea. Xia Rong didn't care about that and asked her father to release Zhou Chen. Lord Xia naturally would not agree, but when he saw Leng Yiyao crying, he said, "Don't worry, although Xiaochen was detained, I arranged the best cell for him and ensure that he will live more comfortably than outside."

Just as Lord Xia said, at this moment Zhou Chen was sitting in the cell, eating meat and drinking wine with big mouthfuls, making the prisoners in other cells drool with envy.

Other prisoners protested, "Why should he be treated to delicious food and drink while we are all in prison, but we can only eat this crap?" As they said this, they threw away the food that had been searched."

The constable in charge of delivering food did not tolerate him and immediately opened the door and kicked them a few times, saying, "It's your turn to eat it or not." Then he locked the cell door and left without looking back.

Not long after he left, Zhao Kuo came in carrying a food box. The food box was so large that it was big enough to hold half a roasted lamb.

Zhou Chen smelled the fragrance before Zhao Kuo reached the cell door, and then he looked at the chicken leg in his hand and found it had become tasteless.

Zhou Chen stood up and looked outside the door, and found Zhao Kuo walking towards him with a food box.

Zhao Kuo casually opened the prison door and walked in, "Brother Zhou, I'm really sorry. Lord Xia had no choice but to lock you up in the cell. But don't worry, Lord Xia has absolute trust in you. Lord Xia went to the Beast Tower and ordered this roasted whole lamb and asked me to deliver it to you."

As the food box was opened, the aroma immediately hit him. Zhou Chen couldn't help but take a bite. After seeing the prompt of gaining strengthening points in front of him, he found that this was the meat of an eighth-grade beast.

"I'm sorry to have cost you so much money, sir."

"This is what I should do. Don't be polite to him. Eat quickly. I have something else to do and I won't accompany you." After saying that, he left.

After waiting for Zhao Kuo to leave, the prisoners in other cells looked at Zhou Chen with drooling eyes. With this eighth-grade roasted lamb, he no longer cared about other meats and simply threw them all to other prisoners and enjoyed the roasted whole lamb alone.
