Chapter 64: The Bookworm Who Ate Chicken

  Hualang's words were cold, and listening to them made one feel even colder.

  Since when have you ever heard of someone biting a chicken to kill it?

  You can see the scars on the chicken's body, which are indeed not cut by a knife, but bitten by humans.

  Everyone who saw this felt a chill run down their spine. They seemed to see a weak and feeble scholar, crouching in his own room, one hand holding the chicken's head, the other grasping its wing, then lowering his head with great force to bite into that chicken. The chicken struggled desperately, blood flowing from its neck, as the scholar sucked greedily, just like he was sucking on his mother's breast.

  Cruel and bloody are not even worth mentioning, but it makes people feel cold, scared, and that this is something only a devil can do.

  It wasn't until much later that Yin Wuchang finally recovered from the shock, and as soon as he did, he hastily said: "This Year Feng is so ruthless and crazy, it seems he's undoubtedly the murderer who killed Yu Tingting."

  At this time, everyone thought so.

  After careful consideration, Hua Lang felt that relying solely on these few chickens was not enough to fully prove that Nian Feng was cruel and ruthless. After all, when he ate the chicken blood, no one saw him, and if he refused to admit it, who could do anything about it?

  However, it's not that there's no way out. Every other day, Nian Feng would have someone send him a chicken. From this pattern, it can be inferred that Nian Feng has developed this habit. If he doesn't do this for several days, he won't be able to bear it. And if someone sends him a chicken, will he be able to resist biting into it?

  This is extremely likely.

  Thinking so, Hua Lang and others hurriedly rushed to the county government office. They wanted to tell Bao Zheng about this clue and then try Nian Feng.

  Upon arriving at the county government office, Flower Lad had not yet informed Bao Zheng of the situation when Bao Zheng hastily said: "Yuan Feng is being held in the large prison and appears somewhat violent and restless, his emotions are extremely agitated. If this continues for long, he may go mad."

  Hualang listened and became even more certain of his conjecture, so he told Bao Zheng about their discovery. After listening, Bao Zheng highly approved of Hualang's method, and immediately sent someone to buy live chickens.

  After buying the live chicken, Bao Zheng had the yamen runners send Nian Feng away and also had the prison guards retreat to observe Nian Feng from a hidden location.

  Nian Fengguan was in prison, still with the air of a scholar. When he saw the prison guard bring in a live chicken, he said coldly: "What's the meaning of this? Even if it's my last meal, you should cook it properly before serving it to me!"

  The jailer did not bother him and threw a live chicken into the big prison after closing the gate.

  Nian Feng gazed at the proud rooster, his eyes emitting an inexplicable glow. Despite this, he managed to restrain himself, trying not to look at the rooster and even lying down on the ground with his eyes closed.

  That chicken seemed very uncooperative, not only running back and forth in the big cage, but also clucking loudly, which made Nian Feng very angry.

  The furious Nian Feng could no longer bear it, he wanted to kill this annoying rooster, he wanted to kill it and throw it out. The crazy Nian Feng started chasing the rooster, the chicken was frightened, constantly calling and running, while the chicken ran, Nian Feng chased after it, becoming more and more excited.

  The big prison had a large character, but the cell was still very small, so the chicken ultimately couldn't escape its fate of being caught. After Nian Feng caught the chicken, he wanted to tear it apart, but the chicken kept resisting, flapping its wings and staring at him with its two legs. When Nian Feng saw the chicken's movements, his eyes suddenly had a kind of longing, and he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva before continuing to beat the chicken.

  The chicken's vitality is very strong, even if its neck is cut off, it will still jump around. This year, the harvest is abundant, how can it be killed?

  The annual prosperity did not stop hitting, and the hitting was a bit crazy. His eyes became brighter and brighter, and finally he could not bear it. A pair of hands that were very familiar with each other subdued the chicken, and his mouth could not help but bite down on the chicken's neck.

  That place is the easiest to bleed, Nian Feng took a bite, and the chicken blood flowed into his mouth instantly. Because of the chicken's resistance, fresh blood splashed onto Nian Feng's clothes, but he didn't care at all. He seemed to have gone mad, biting the chicken's neck and constantly sucking the fresh blood flowing from the chicken's neck.

  The prison guards who were hiding in the dark to monitor Feng Yu, were all stunned after seeing this. When had they ever seen such a cruel and crazy behavior? The prison guard was so scared that he hurriedly went to inform Bao Zheng and others after recovering from his shock.

  Bao Zheng and Hualang's faces turned somewhat pale after hearing the prison guard's words, but amidst the paleness, there was a hint of excitement. Now, they could confirm that Nian Feng's mind had problems, and such a person was highly likely to have killed Yu Tingting.

  Time was of the essence, and they hastily made their way to the large prison. Upon arrival, Nian Feng was leaning against a wall corner, resting contentedly, with his feet on a chicken, but the chicken's blood had been drained, and it had long since died.

  Everyone was shocked by what they saw, and Nianfeng, who was leaning against the wall, was frightened when he suddenly saw so many people come in. He hastily stepped forward, cupped his hands together and said: "Your Honor, I am truly innocent, I hope you will investigate clearly and let me out."

  At this time, Nian Feng's words were still very humble and bookish, with a scholarly tone. However, the more he was like this, the more frightening he seemed, and the more it made people think that the scene of eating chicken earlier was disgusting.

  However, Bao Gong was not afraid. He coldly rebuked: "You this depraved and cruel scholar, actually have the evil habit of sucking chicken blood. A person like you must be the one who killed Yu Tingting without a doubt. Only someone like you would stab a corpse twenty-one times."

  Nian Feng listened, turned his head to glance at the dead chicken behind him, with a look of surprise and regret on his face. He didn't explain his behavior, but suddenly knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Honor, spare my life! I didn't kill Yu Tingting, you have no evidence, how can you frame an innocent person?"

  Bao Zheng angrily said: "In the past there was no evidence, but now that I have seen your ruthless and crazy behavior, this official will beat you until evidence is produced."

  At the order, two prison guards dragged Nian Feng out and put handcuffs on him. Then came a flurry of wild punches. For a time, the entire cell was filled with the sound of wailing. However, despite being beaten severely, Nian Feng refused to admit that he had killed Yu Tingting.

  He was knocked unconscious three times, and after the third time, his entire body was covered in injuries. Yet, he seemed to be enjoying this torture, and at the most painful moments, he would even lick the blood from the corner of his mouth back into his mouth.

  Bao Zheng also had no way out, and finally reluctantly let the prison officer take him to the main prison first. Everything would be decided after he discussed with Hua Lang.
