Chapter 579 Sex Addiction
Li San Niang sat at the lower end of the main hall, listening to Su Qi recount the ins and outs of the case. The more she listened, the more terrifying it became.
So it seems this case involves more than just the death of one female customer and a dozen or so male customers today; it also involves the life of Wang Silang's wife.
Furthermore, Li San Niang did not believe that, apart from Wang Si Lang's wife, the lewd clique of a dozen or so people from Langya Academy, led by Liu San Lang and Sun Qi Lang, had only harmed Wang Si Lang's wife.
There must be other women among them!
Li San Niang looked up at Su Qi. Su Qi received Li San Niang's questioning gaze and, before Li San Niang could speak, said directly: "The reason we were able to know so much in such a short time is that, in addition to Wang Si Lang and Qing Niang confessing on their own initiative, we also found out a living person who was in Sun Qi Lang and Liu San Lang's lewd clique."
For now, that's all the information this person has provided.
This person was identified by us through a comparative method, comparing relationships among people who have already died.
He was lucky, because his grandfather had passed away this month, and he was observing mourning at home. Therefore, he didn't attend the Song family's flower-viewing banquet, thus avoiding Wang Silang's revenge.
Li San Niang nodded, thinking to herself, "This explains why the people from the Dali Temple were able to uncover the details of this case in such a short period of time, within just two hours."
"Wang Silang has already confessed that he bought the poison from the black market."
As for the person who administered the poison, he bribed the dishwashing woman whom the Song family had recently bought from a slave trader in preparation for the flower-viewing banquet. He instructed the woman to mix the poison powder into the coriander, minced ginger, and garlic when no one was watching.
According to Wang Silang's confession, during the time he approached Liu Sanlang and Sun Qilang in order to investigate his wife's death, he discovered that the members of this small group loved strong-flavored seasonings and had a habit of dipping braised beef in minced ginger, garlic, and coriander.
As for the family doctor employed by the Song family, he paid someone this morning to lur him out with a message from outside.
The purpose was to prevent the doctor from being at the Song family's residence, so that those who ate the poisoned food would miss their chance to be saved and would die, thus paying for his wife's life.
"Isn't he afraid that among the people who came today, besides those people, there might be other completely unrelated people who also have this habit?"
Wouldn't that accidentally hurt someone else?
Su Qi answered Li San Niang's question directly: "Alas, Wang Si Lang has a plan. We found the antidote on him. He said that when he bought the poison on the black market, he also bought the antidote."
"After the gluttonous kitchen maid in the Song family got into trouble, and I helped Miss Song discover the poisoned dishes, how did those people on the ground get poisoned before?"
Su Qi answered the question immediately: "According to Wang Silang's confession, after he discovered that the braised beef was missing from the dishes on the table, he mixed the poison together and put it in a pot of wine. Under the guise of urging people to drink, he poured a cup for everyone he had investigated."
Li San Niang nodded. After her doubts were resolved, she was even more confused.
"Now that the case is quite clear, how can I still help you?"
Li San Niang thought that since he was able to explain the case to her so clearly and thoroughly, he must have something to ask for.
But what help could a doctor possibly offer to the case?
Di Renjie then spoke up: "Doctor Li, the problem lies with Zhou Dalang, who escaped the calamity because he was observing mourning at home after his grandfather's recent death."
I interrogated him personally, and according to him, their small group of people who engaged in orgies truly never forced any woman.
According to him, apart from Wang Silang's wife, who was drugged and tricked by Fen Niang, the only other person in their small group who was a respectable woman was Liu Sanlang's wife, Fen Niang.
The remaining women were all prostitutes they had pooled their money to hire from Pingkangfang; they were not forced to come, and they had all been paid for.
His words are only half credible; the other half always requires evidence to confirm.
He said Liu Sanlang was the kind of pimp who found it more enjoyable to watch his wife having sex with other men.
I've been solving cases for over a decade, and I've certainly encountered people like that before, so I can say I believe what they say.
However, there is one thing I need to ask Dr. Li.
If Fenniang were an ordinary, respectable woman, how could she tolerate her husband's indiscretions?
But he said that everything was voluntary on Fenniang's part, and that Fenniang would even take the opportunity to have sex with some of them alone when Liu Sanlang was not around.
Now that Fenniang is dead, we have no way of verifying whether she was willing.
But Zhou Dalang's face was so stern and certain that they absolutely hadn't forced Fen Niang, as if he wanted to swear to heaven to prove it, which made me suspicious. I wanted to ask, is there any medicine that can control a person long-term, making them willingly engage in sexual relations?
Li San Niang frowned, but in her heart she had a reasonable medical explanation for what Di Renjie had said about Fen Niang's behavior: sex addiction.
Yes, this is a disease.
This condition is a compulsive sexual behavior where the body is forced to obey; if this is not achieved, the person will fall into severe anxiety, unease, and distress.
It can be described as a very torturous disease.
Because, as long as a person lives in this world, they should abide by the law and live in accordance with certain established conventions.
Sexual addiction is something that cannot be controlled by humans. It can cross the line and cause people to become addicted to sexual activity, which can greatly affect a person's daily life and work.
Listening to Di Renjie's account of Fen Niang's behavior, Li San Niang thought that if it was truly as Zhou Da Lang said, that it was not forced and that Fen Niang acted voluntarily, then from the perspective of a normal, respectable woman, this could probably only be explained by a disease like sex addiction.
"...It is very likely that this is the disease."
If it is this kind of disease, it is very likely that Fenniang has something growing in her brain (such as a pituitary tumor or other diseases that cause excessive secretion of androgens), which is why she behaves differently from others.
If you want to be absolutely certain, you can conduct an autopsy to verify it.
After Li San Niang finished speaking, everyone present was astonished.
After all, what Li San Niang said was simply too absurd.
After listening, Di Renjie's heart stirred. He thought that every time he met Li Sanniang, he could get some little-known explanations of diseases from her, but they were all very appropriate and reliable.
"If Fenniang hadn't been sick, she would have been a respectable woman. Even if she wanted to have an affair, she would have chosen one or two other men and done it secretly behind Liu Sanlang's back."
Contrary to what Zhou Dalang claimed, it was not that their small group of a dozen or so people were engaging in lewd activities on the hill behind the academy during the day, showing no regard for human ethics or face.
Even the boldest woman would find it difficult to do this.
Therefore, what Li San Niang said does seem to make some sense.
