Chapter 90 Disease
Interrogation room number one.
The interrogation room's furnishings are simple and solemn, with a blue-gray cement floor, snow-white walls, and dark tables and chairs. Combined with the eight large characters on the wall: "Leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist", every suspect brought in can't help but become nervous.
Cui Lebang, however, acted like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. With a sarcastic smile on his face and his lips tightly closed, he looked at the policeman sitting in front of him without saying a word.
This time, the policemen he faced were not Yue Yuan, who had a loud voice and a dignified face, but Xia Mufan, Feng Xiaoyu and Sun Xianbing who were all in uniform.
The police's summer uniform is a beige short-sleeved shirt and army green trousers, the colors are very soft. Neither Xia Mufan nor Feng Xiaoyu wore wide-brimmed hats. One had a cute ponytail and the other had lively short hair, which weakened the deterrent effect of the uniforms and added a touch of feminine tenderness to the interrogation room.
Sun Xianbing, who was in charge of taking the statements, was thin and looked very simple, with a low presence.
This kind of interrogation atmosphere made Cui Lebang relax a little.
In his opinion, women are the epitome of kindness, weakness and easy to bully.
Xia Muchan's voice is clear and pleasant, like a spring flowing in the mountains, tinkling and donging, full of vitality.
"Name?"
"Cui Lebang."
"gender?"
"male."
Perhaps because he had spent two days in the detention center, or perhaps because the person asking the questions was a female police officer, Cui Lebang's attitude was better this time and he answered all the simple questions.
However, when asked questions related to the case, Cui Lebang fell silent again.
"Where were you around 3 p.m. on July 10?"
"Why did you kidnap Lu Pingping?"
"Where did you get the anesthetic?"
"What did you do to Lu Pingping?"
“…”
Xia Mufan asked a series of questions but never got any corresponding answers.
Xia Mufan was not in a hurry and stopped to drink a sip of water.
The interrogation room suddenly became quiet. Cui Lebang was a little uncomfortable. He looked up at Xia Mufan and said, "Police comrade, didn't you rescue Lu Pingping? Can't you just ask her?"
Xia Mufan put down the cup, leaned back, put one hand on the table, and said in a relaxed manner: "You mean, you admit the crime of kidnapping Lu Pingping?"
Cui Lebang's breathing stagnated.
After a while, he smiled bitterly and said, "There are all the witnesses and evidences. I won't admit it, okay?"
Xia Mufan smiled slightly: "You are quite smart."
Cui Lebang's face stiffened when he was suddenly praised by the police for his intelligence. After thinking for a long time, he said, "You, the policeman, have a good attitude, much better than the previous one with a sullen face."
For some reason, Feng Xiaoyu felt like laughing.
These two people were praising each other, and it didn't feel like they were in an interrogation room at all.
Xia Mufan found that Cui Lebang was a soft-hearted person, so he asked politely, "There are some details we don't know, so we need to ask you, is that okay?"
Cui Lebang raised his hands, but found that it was inconvenient to make gestures because his hands were handcuffed. He put his hands down dejectedly and replied sullenly: "Then ask."
"Why did you kidnap Lu Pingping?"
"Where did you get the anesthetic?"
"What did you do to Lu Pingping?"
“…”
Xia Mufan repeated the question he had just asked, and this time, Cui Lebang answered very cooperatively. It was simply because he saw that she was beautiful and looked like a kind and honest girl, so he had some bad thoughts.
His confession was consistent with what Lu Pingping said, and he could not escape the charges of kidnapping and intentional injury.
After he finished answering, Xia Mufan leaned forward slightly, his eyes focused and bright: "Have you ever had a girlfriend?"
Cui Lebang shook his head.
Xia Mushige: "I am curious about two things."
Cui Lebang was attracted by her burning eyes: "What are you curious about?"
Xia Mushige: "First of all, how can you, a grown man who has never had a girlfriend, face the female menstrual period calmly and know about women's products such as sanitary napkins?"
Cui Lebang's eyes flickered, and after thinking for a long time, he reluctantly replied, "Isn't there an ad on TV?"
Xia Mufan took out a pack of sanitary napkins: "This is the sanitary napkin you gave to Lu Pingping. Do you know how to use it?"
Cui Lebang pursed his lips and said nothing.
Xia Mufan continued to ask: "How can you be sure that when Lu Pingping sees the sanitary napkin you handed over and hears you say that her sister needs help because of her period, she will definitely go with you?"
The shame that traditional women feel about menstruation is something that only women can understand.
In an era when physical health education is lacking, when a girl has her first menstruation, it is usually her mother or female elder who teaches her how to use sanitary products. They would say: This is only for girls and it is dirty.
When using menstrual belts and toilet paper, you have to hide from others and do it secretly like a thief.
Xia Mufan remembered that when she was in junior high school, a female classmate had her period and she had to wait until the last minute to go to the toilet. After the bell rang and everyone was gone, she would quietly change the toilet paper.
Even in the 1980s and 1990s, when sanitary napkin advertisements were broadcast on TV, little girls still felt embarrassed.
If my period suddenly came and soiled my pants, I would blush and change and wash them quietly for fear of being seen.
It is precisely because of this inexplicable sense of shame that girls are more sympathetic and understanding of other girls, especially when they encounter girls who suddenly have their periods, they will lend a helping hand without hesitation.
However, men simply cannot understand this kind of mentality.
When I was in school, the ignorant boys would scream and yell when they found sanitary napkins and toilet paper in the girls’ bags.
After adulthood, some men find it troublesome when their girlfriend or wife has her period.
However, Cui Lebang knew how to take advantage of women's psychology and deceived Lu Pingping easily. Xia Mufan really wanted to know, how could a man like him, who lost his mother at a young age, grasp this point so accurately?
When Cui Lebang heard Xia Mufan's question, he was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to explain it.
His face gradually turned ugly.
Xia Mushi pressed on: "Where did you buy the sanitary napkins? Did the clerk look at you strangely when you bought them? Do you know what brands of sanitary napkins there are, and what types do girls usually like to use?"
Cui Lebang stared at Xia Mufan intently, and said through gritted teeth: "Are you ashamed or not? What kind of girl would ask a man what brand and type a sanitary napkin is like you?"
He suddenly turned his gaze to Sun Xianbing, who was concentrating on taking notes: "And you! As a man, don't you feel embarrassed when you hear such a topic?"
Sun Xianbing, who was shot for no reason, was stunned for a moment. He didn't dare to look up and continued to write furiously.
Xia Mufan suddenly stood up and raised his voice sharply.
"You took our women's things and deceived kind girls. You are not ashamed, so why should I be ashamed?"
"Women have their periods to nurture life. It's a great devotion, not a shame. You were also born after your mother carried you for ten months. Don't you feel ashamed to ask such a question?"
Xia Mufan's calmness and confidence immediately suppressed Cui Lebang's arrogance.
Looking at her eyes that were bright with anger, Cui Lebang's shoulders slumped and he stammered, "Well, I also heard from others that soft-hearted and honest girls are the easiest to deceive. When I take out a sanitary napkin, the girls are too embarrassed to shout. Then I make up a story that my sister is having her period, and the girls will usually follow me to a remote place."
Xia Mufan asked: "Who told you that?"
Cui Lebang's eyes wandered: "That's how it's played on TV."
Xia Mufan pretended to ask casually: "Is that little girl in the flowered shirt also soft-hearted, honest, and easy to deceive?"
Cui Lebang blurted out: "Don't mention it, this girl is very wild! She almost dug my eyeballs out..."
Having said that, he suddenly realized the problem and abruptly shut his mouth.
Xia Mushige asked: "Did you also use the sanitary napkin trick to trick her?"
Cui Lebang sneered and pursed his lips into a line, obviously intending to keep silent.
Lu Pingping was still alive, but the girl in the flowered shirt was already dead. Cui Lebang knew exactly which was more important. He could plead guilty to kidnapping and intentional injury, but he would never plead guilty to murder so quickly.
Xia Mushige changed the question: "I'm curious about one more thing."
Cui Lebang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xia Mufan did not continue to ask questions: "Go ahead."
Xia Mufan sat back in his chair, restrained his sharpness, and said calmly: "Why didn't you force Lu Pingping to have sex with you?"
But the topic was still revolving around Lu Pingping, so Cui Lebang felt safe: "She's having her period."
Xia Mufan: "Who told you that you can't have your period?"
Cui Lebang opened his mouth and answered in confusion: "Didn't they say that bleeding there would be dirty and we couldn't touch it?"
Xia Mufan sat up straight, his eyes sparkling: "Who told you?"
Cui Lebang blurted out: "My dad."
As soon as this word came out, the veins on Cui Lebang's forehead exposed and he became nervous.
Xia Mufan asked again: "There was no semen residue found in the bodies of the girl in the flowered shirt and Wei Qiaozhen. Could it be that they also had their periods?"
Cui Lebang closed his mouth alertly.
Xia Mufan looked at him and pressed on: "Don't you think you can do it? Or are you not a man?"
Cui Lebang's expression suddenly changed.
His eyes were red and wide open, as if they were suddenly lit like firewood, becoming crazy and hot.
Cui Lebang's hands and feet were handcuffed, making it difficult for him to move, but when he got excited he suddenly pulled his body upwards, causing the handcuffs to make a clanging sound that echoed in the interrogation room.
The policeman standing by him pushed him down and shouted, "Behave yourself!"
Cui Lebang yelled like crazy: "You slander me! You slander me! I am a man, I am a man——"
Xia Mufan did not give in at all, his eyes suddenly became as sharp as a knife: "Whether he is a man or not, we will know after checking, right?"
Cui Lebang began to struggle desperately: "Bullshit! You farted!"
Xia Mufan folded his arms and watched Cui Lebang go crazy in the interrogation room.
When he was finally tired and slumped in the chair, Xia Mufan said slowly: "Cui Lebang, I heard from Lu Pingping that you are particularly interested in the female physiological structure. Today, I specially asked a doctor to give you a lesson. How about it?"
After saying that, Xia Muchan winked at Feng Xiaoyu.
Feng Xiaoyu stood up, opened the door of the interrogation room, and invited Gu Shaoqi, who had been waiting for a long time, in.
Gu Shaoqi was wearing a white coat and had a jade-like face. As soon as he entered the interrogation room, he hung two color medical human body pictures on the wall.
Cui Lebang had been excited for a long time, but the police did not make any move. Now he suddenly saw a man dressed as a doctor, holding a human body diagram in one hand and a pointer in the other, as if he was really teaching a class. He was shocked, his mouth opened wide, and his chin almost hit his knees.
After a long while, Cui Lebang's jaw closed: "You, what are you going to do?"
Xia Mufan smiled: "Lu Pingping is a student of the Medical School. She doesn't know as much about the human body as our forensic doctor Gu. So, today I specially arranged a class for forensic doctor Gu to give you a free popular science lesson to see what the differences are between the physiological structures of men and women."
Without waiting for Cui Lebang to express his opinion, Xia Mufan said to Gu Shaoqi: "Thank you for your hard work, Forensic Doctor Gu."
Gu Shaoqi nodded slightly and officially began his lecture on physiology and hygiene.
From the similarities and differences in the body structure of men and women, sexual health, sexual morality to sexual psychology.
Gu Shaoqi's teaching style is upright and his voice is clear and cool, like the spring breeze blowing over wheat seedlings, gentle and warm. He stood in front of the human body diagram and explained what he meant by the pointer. His teaching was both theoretical and down-to-earth, and everyone in the interrogation room listened with great interest.
To be honest, the aspect of "sex" is missing in the traditional education we received.
The sex education that children receive during their teenage years mostly comes from movies, TV shows, and literary works, but these are often too idealistic, and when they really face them, there will be a huge psychological gap, which will cause panic and retreat.
Gu Shaoqi stayed up all night for today's class and consulted countless documents, which is why he was so calm and composed in the interrogation room today.
God knows, when Gu Shaoqi was talking about these things, his ears were also burning.
Even as a medical student, and even though he had seen countless corpses, it was the first time for Gu Shaoqi to talk about "sex" in public.
However, Gu Shaoqi's usual cool temperament worked; he looked professional and calm, and everyone listened attentively, with Cui Lebang, among them, listening eagerly with his eyes wide open.
At the end, Gu Shaoqi glanced at Cui Lebang and said, "Gender is male or female, which is determined by DNA. If the chromosomes are abnormal, there may be hermaphrodites."
Cui Lebang froze all of a sudden, clenched his hands tightly, and stared at Gu Shaoqi blankly.
He swallowed his saliva, and when he swallowed it, he seemed to hear a loud "gulp" sound coming from his ear.
Noticing the change in Cui Lebang's mood, Xia Mufan's eyes lit up and he gestured to Gu Shaoqi to continue.
Gu Shaoqi continued to speak calmly.
"Normal people have 23 pairs of chromosomes, but intersex people have 22 or 24 pairs of chromosomes due to mutations, with one more or one less pair of chromosomes. Intersex people have bisexual genitals, which are not obvious during adolescence. But after adulthood, the second characteristic of the body begins to develop, and sexual identity becomes confusing, and people cannot tell whether they are male or female."
"In fact, the appearance of intersex people is a disease. If they are checked sooner or later, intervened in advance, and undergo surgery after the gender is determined and supplemented with hormone treatment, they can live a normal life. But many people don't understand and mistakenly think that they are monsters, deformed, hermaphrodites, and may even ridicule, reject, and abuse them..."
Cui Lebang suddenly lowered his body and buried his head between his knees, wishing he could hide his entire body, muttering, "No, no, no, stop talking, please, stop talking!"
