"Of course not." Chen Lie's face was bitter. "There are so many base pairs. How can I have the time?! Besides, the international identification methods aren't so complicated … "
"The situation is special now. We have to compare them one by one," Song Jinning said seriously. "Science cannot allow any falsehoods or guesses. Chen Lie, don't be lazy. "
Huo Shaoheng also looked at Chen Lie and said indifferently, "Ms. Song is right. From now on, I will monitor your entire sequencing and comparison process from beginning to end. I will not let go of a single detail."
"But the world's recognized method of identifying immediate family relationships is the method I used! No one would compare the sequence and sequence of all the base pairs! There's no need for that! "Chen Lie felt wronged.
"And I don't have such a powerful computer!"
"I want to compare their two sets of chromosomes. There are a total of six billion base pairs!"
"Using the equipment in my laboratory, it will take about a hundred years to complete the comparison according to the sequence of the base pairs. Huo Shao, can you wait a hundred years? "Chen Lie looked at Huo Shaoheng from the corner of his eyes.
So it was because his computing ability couldn't keep up..
Song Jinning's heart skipped a beat and she looked at Huo Shaoheng inquiringly.
Huo Shaoheng understood what Song Jinning meant and nodded. "Yes."
This was permission for Song Jinning.
Song Jinning whispered, "Little Chen, our Institute of High Energy Physics has just developed a prototype quantum computer. Although it's only a prototype and can't be programmed, its computing ability is a million times faster than the most powerful computer today. "
In theory, a completed quantum computer could be a hundred million times faster than the current computer, but Song Jinning and the others had yet to reach such a theoretical height. The current prototype quantum computer's computing ability could only be a million times faster than the most powerful computer today.
However, this one million times was enough for their full DNA base pair comparison.
This was a top secret of the military, so Song Jinning needed Huo Shaoheng's authorization to say it.
"Ah?! So fast! " Chen Lie couldn't help but be excited. "It's a million times faster than the fastest computer today! That means … "
Chen Lie wanted to count with his fingers.
He hated that he had so few fingers.
Song Jinning didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She said softly, "In terms of time, it'll take about two and a half days to complete the comparison. It won't take as long as a hundred years. "
"That's great! I'll start the comparison immediately when I get back! "
"Three billion base pairs! If there's one less comparison, you can chop my head off! "
Chen Lie was elated and almost worshipped Song Jinning. Song Jinning smiled and patted Huo Shaoheng's shoulder. "Don't worry. Only when the three billion base pairs are exactly the same, or even in the same order, can it mean that they're the same person. Otherwise, they're different people. So, don't jump to conclusions so early. "
"Ms. Song, if you're free, should we discuss whether there's an optimized comparison method?" Chen Lie followed Song Jinning into the cabin like a tail.
Huo Shaoheng looked at their backs and reminded Chen Lie, "Chen Lie, do a simple check on the little girl's immediate family relationship with Gu Xiangwen. When we get back, use the exhaustive method to verify her relationship with Nianzhi."
Chen Lie waved his hand behind him and quickly said, "Got it. I was planning to do that anyway."
Chen Lie and Song Jinning went to the cabin together. As they discussed the verification method, they began to use simple equipment to test the DNA on the strand of hair.
The technology for paternity tests was already very mature and not cumbersome, so this matter could be carried out immediately.
However, if it was confirmed that the little girl who died seven years ago was also Gu Xiangwen's daughter, then it had to be compared with Gu Nianzhi's DNA.
It was the same as He Zhichu's situation.
Therefore, it was only a rough test now. The specific sequencing comparison could only be carried out with a quantum computer when they got back.
Huo Shaoheng sat alone on the deck, smoking and waiting for the results.
Although it was a simple test, the fastest result would still take ten hours.
During this time, the salvage ship they were on left the blue hole and returned to the Gu family's port in Barbados.
Ten hours later, Chen Lie brought him the results.
"… It's easier to determine the immediate family relationship. This little girl is indeed Gu Xiangwen's biological daughter." Chen Lie sighed. "I've roughly compared her DNA with Nianzhi. I think her situation is indeed the same as Professor He's and the young man who died at the age of 16."
"Of course, to completely confirm that their DNA is exactly the same, I'll have to wait until I get back and use Ms. Song's quantum computer to conduct a comprehensive comparison before I can make a true conclusion."
"But for now, He Zhichu and Nianzhi's situation is very similar."
What did this mean?
This meant that He Zhichu and Gu Nianzhi did have a connection that they didn't know about.
Just this point alone made Huo Shaoheng frown.
"Are you saying that they really don't have twin siblings?" Chen Lie really couldn't understand this phenomenon.
Huo Shaoheng looked at the results of the test that Chen Lie had given him and said calmly, "The nanny said that He Zhichu's father didn't have twins. As for Professor He, we don't know where he came from or where he went. "
"What about Nianzhi?" Chen Lie asked. "Did Gu Xiangwen have twins?"
"You'll have to ask Gu Yanran about that."
Huo Shaoheng took the results and went to the cabin where Gu Yanran was being held.
Gu Yanran was still wearing her ankles and handcuffs, and she was uncomfortably turning the electronic collar around her neck.
Huo Shaoheng sat down in front of her and asked calmly, "How many biological daughters does Gu Xiangwen have?"
"Ha, of course there's only one. Go to Barbados to investigate. Gu Nianzhi was born in the hospital there. "Gu Yanran pursed her lips and said disapprovingly.
Huo Shaoheng looked at her quietly and sat down calmly in front of her. He crossed his legs and said calmly, "Tell me, how did you kill that little girl?"
Gu Yanran trembled, and her hand stopped at the edge of the electronic collar around her neck. Her voice was very nervous. "… You found her?"
Huo Shaoheng nodded.
Gu Yanran's eyes widened. "Really?! Can you let me see her? "
Huo Shaoheng showed her the video that he and Chen Lie had recorded in the small submarine. For the time being, he didn't mention that there were cameras and surveillance cameras in the small submarine.
Gu Yanran immediately let out a cry of surprise when she saw what was inside the submarine.
Soon, tears flowed down her face. She covered her face and sobbed.
"I didn't do it on purpose. Nianzhi cried for her parents. I couldn't coax her for a long time, so I took her to the submarine to play. That was a toy that Father … Gu Xiangwen specially made for her. She could sit in it and swim at the bottom of the sea. "
"Later, she lost her temper and pushed me out. She locked herself in there alone. I didn't know what she was going to do …"
"Then the submarine sank and malfunctioned. I had no choice … I didn't know what to do … I didn't want to …"
"I didn't dare to let anyone know … I was afraid that others would think that I killed her … It really wasn't … It was just an accident …"
Gu Yanran cried her heart out, like a sister who was extremely sad about the death of her younger sister.
Huo Shaoheng looked at her and thought that if he hadn't seen those pictures and the surveillance cameras, her story might have been able to fool some people.
"You didn't want to? If you didn't want to, why did you give her water mixed with sleeping pills? "
Huo Shaoheng had deduced it from the little girl's drawings and then verified it from the surveillance cameras.
Gu Yanran stopped crying and her eyes became more and more evasive. "What did you say? What sleeping pills? I don't understand … I don't know what happened in the submarine! "
Huo Shaoheng took a step forward and looked at her condescendingly.
"Gu Yanran, when you found out that something had happened to Gu Xiangwen and his wife, you immediately tricked her into taking the submarine out to sea, then gave her water mixed with sleeping pills. Finally, you locked the submarine and released nitrogen gas, suffocating her to death."
Huo Shaoheng pulled out his gun and aimed it at Gu Yanran's forehead. "Gu Yanran, you're a murderer. Look at these pictures. Although she's young, she's not stupid. She's drawn everything you've done to her. "
Gu Yanran looked at the matchstick figures and sneered. "You want to convict me based on these random drawings? Major General Huo, you're being too biased! Aren't you treating human life like grass?! "
She still wanted to argue?
Huo Shaoheng waved his hand. "Other than these pictures, you don't know that there are surveillance cameras in the small submarine, do you?"
Gu Yanran trembled and raised her head in disbelief. Her voice was so shrill that it cracked. "What did you say?! What surveillance cameras?! "
For more than a decade, she had behaved so well in front of Gu Xiangwen and his wife. She had taken great care of Gu Nianzhi, and she had been the same in front of and behind people. In the end, not only did Gu Nianzhi trust her and treat her as her own sister, even Gu Xiangwen's wife said that she wanted to treat her as her own daughter!
Why did they still install surveillance cameras?!
Were they worried that she would harm their precious daughter?
Liars! They were all liars!
Had these people never truly believed her?!
The biggest blow to Gu Yanran wasn't that her scheme had been exposed, but that the people she thought she had deceived were actually still wary of her.
Huo Shaoheng waved his hand, and Zhao Liangze immediately played the surveillance footage from the small submarine's game room.
On the big screen on the wall, they clearly saw Gu Yanran bringing a little girl into the game room.
She turned around and closed the door. She turned on the television in the game room for the little girl to watch and went to the next room to pour a glass of water.
There was also a camera in the next room, and it was all captured by the surveillance system.
Gu Yanran took out two white pills from her pocket, removed the sugar coating, and put them into the water. Then, she stirred them twice.
The camera turned, and Gu Yanran was already standing in front of the little girl, asking her to drink the water.
The little girl didn't want to drink the water, but Gu Yanran's expression changed, and she grabbed the little girl's throat.
The little girl opened her mouth in surprise and looked at her. Gu Yanran took advantage of this moment to pour the water into the little girl's mouth.
The little girl was forced to drink the glass of water, and not long after, she lay motionless on the floor.
The camera fast-forwarded, and the little girl woke up again.
She looked around, then went to the door and knocked hard on it.
However, no one paid attention to her. She gradually felt it was difficult to breathe, so she held her neck and knelt down in front of the door.
She seemed to have understood what was happening. She turned around and took a black carbon pen, then began to draw on the floor.
In the end, she used her remaining strength to climb back onto the bed, tidied her hair, and quietly closed her eyes.
Huo Shaoheng gestured for Zhao Liangze to stop. "Gu Yanran, what else do you want me to say?"
Gu Yanran looked at the surveillance footage expressionlessly and said, "… It's actually just vitamins. What do you think it is? If I want her life … "
"Shut up. There's still footage of you opening the button inside the submarine and releasing nitrogen gas. Do you want to see it? "Huo Shaoheng said calmly," The entire process of your crime is preserved here. — — Gu Xiangwen never really believed you, right? Although you've been pretending well, he's still wary of you. "
However, this precaution wasn't strong enough, so Gu Yanran still succeeded.
Gu Yanran's psychological defense finally collapsed, and she started crying. "Since they've never believed me, I don't feel guilty anymore! — — Yes, I'm a murderer. Just kill me! "
"You're right! I've never liked her! "
"So fat! So ugly! And so bad-tempered. Who would have the patience to take care of this bad child who would die one day?! "
"Gu Xiangwen said that Gu Nianzhi wouldn't live past the age of 18! I just let her die six years early! "
Huo Shaoheng was slightly stunned. "When did Gu Xiangwen say that?"
Gu Yanran's crying quieted down. "… He was talking to his wife. I overheard it in secret."
"Why won't she live past the age of 18?"
"Because she has congenital genetic deficiency syndrome," Gu Yanran said hatefully. "All the daughters of the Gu family have it. My mother made a backup for them, and I want to make a backup too. I don't want this to happen! "
Chen Lie sneered. "Don't flatter yourself. Do you think you're that important? Actually, Gu Xiangwen hasn't developed a suitable treatment. The bone marrow of you and your mother, Gu Jing, can only treat the symptoms and alleviate some of the symptoms. It can't cure the root cause. So with or without you, that little girl won't change much. "
Unless there was a powerful gene like Gu Nianzhi that could repair itself, it would be possible to save that little girl's life.
But if that little girl was Gu Nianzhi from seven years ago, then did she save her own life?
But if she really saved her own life, then what about this little girl's body?
This dead little girl was the real Gu Nianzhi, Gu Xiangwen's daughter.
Because she had Gu Yanran and the surveillance cameras in the small submarine, as well as Gu Xiangwen's last words as evidence.
Then, who was the Gu Nianzhi who had grown up beside them?
Logic had reached a dead end here, and their worldview was about to receive a new baptism.
"Gu Xiangwen took in you and your daughter as a charity. Do you really think you can help save people?" Chen Lie continued to mock them. He rolled his eyes so disdainfully that he almost rolled them to the sky.
Gu Yanran couldn't take it anymore, but she couldn't resist. Just as she was agitated, the electronic collar around her neck tightened, and she was so suffocated that she saw stars.
Huo Shaoheng said coldly, "Even if she has a terminal illness, it can't be a legitimate reason for you to kill her. Is it so hard to admit that you just want to seize the Gu family's inheritance? "
"This little girl is the one you lived with since you were young … Gu Nianzhi?"
At this point, Huo Shaoheng could finally call the girl "Gu Nianzhi".
Gu Yanran nodded and trembled to calm herself down. She looked up at Huo Shaoheng and said timidly, "She's the real Gu Nianzhi, Gu Xiangwen's daughter. I lived with their family for more than ten years. From the moment Gu Nianzhi was born to the moment she left this world, she never left the Caribbean Sea. "
"You don't even know what the fake beside you is, do you?"
Looking at Huo Shaoheng's expressionless and handsome face, Gu Yanran was indignant and asked provocatively, "What's wrong? Did you realize that you loved the wrong person? Do you regret it? "

This was today's chapter of 4,400 words: Chapter 1456, "Loving the Wrong Person?"
There was only one update today.
PS: Yesterday's second update, "Schrodinger's Cat Only Has One", was revised. The base pairs of the human chromosome were three billion, and the base pairs were six billion. Thank you for pointing it out. The six billion base pairs mentioned later were two sets of chromosomes. Those who were not familiar with this content could pretend to understand, but it would not affect the main plot.
Muah!
