Lu Anpeng narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, Gu Nianzhi was being sarcastic, wasn't she?
Why would Qin Suwen steal Gu Xiangwen's fiancée?
Qin Suwen was the one who stole Qin Yaoguang's fiancé …
Therefore, Qin Yaoguang had a motive to commit the crime, but Gu Xiangwen didn't.
However, Gu Nianzhi probably only knew one side and not the other.
Lu Anpeng hadn't been idle for the past month. He only slept two or three hours a day and worked hard with his team of more than a dozen people. They studied the prosecution's complaint and prepared all kinds of materials and evidence. They had conducted more than a dozen court debates and deductions alone.
However, he had to admit that although they had practiced so many times in court, they had still underestimated Gu Nianzhi's ability.
She was several times better than the "imaginary enemy" they had set up in the rehearsal.
Lu Anpeng smiled at Gu Nianzhi's smiling face. "Gu Xiangwen is the biological father of the prosecution's lawyer. Don't you know your father?"
Gu Nianzhi shrugged. "Please get to the point as soon as possible and tell us what motive Gu Xiangwen had for murdering Qin Suwen."
Lu Anpeng nodded. "This question is very simple."
He walked to the open space in the middle of the courtroom and turned to face everyone. He raised his arms as if he was giving a speech and said, "People who are old still remember that more than 20 years ago, there was a great debate in our country. The topic was about human genetic experiments."
"At that time, the world's genetic science was flourishing. The birth of Dolly the sheep gave scientists the illusion that they had become God and could replicate and cultivate life without limit."
"At that time, my client, Qin Yaoguang, proposed the 'gene editing' technology, which caused the voices of human embryo genetic experiments to become louder."
"Many scientists had even begun to conduct secret experiments in private."
"At that time, lawyer Qin Suwen stood up and firmly opposed this kind of overly radical human embryo experiments. She proposed that the parliament pass a law to prohibit scientists from conducting human embryo experiments on others."
When Lu Anpeng mentioned the "science and ethics" discussion back then, everyone in their 40s and 50s inside and outside the courtroom had an impression of it.
The younger generation had only seen the hot topic of the past on the Internet.
When they heard lawyer Lu Anpeng mention this topic, they immediately started searching the Internet.
# Human Embryo Experiments #
# Gene Editor #
# Genes and Ethics #
..
The number of searches related to it skyrocketed.
The heated discussion back then was an eye-opener for the younger generation. At the same time, they had a deeper understanding of Lawyer Qin Suwen, who had pushed for the legislation and initiated the discussion on "science and ethics".
[Lawyer Qin Suwen is really amazing! This is the model of our generation of legal professionals!]
[That's not all. Not only has she never lost in court, but she also insists on free legal aid!]
[No way! Qin Suwen, someone of your stature would also do free legal aid?!]
In the heated discussion on social media, Qin Suwen's image became more and more distinct.
Everyone eagerly searched for every bit of information about Qin Suwen. They admired her more and more, and were also full of sympathy for the unfortunate experience she had when she was young. They were even more indignant towards the murderer who caused her sudden death, no matter who it was.
In the beginning, everyone thought that they were just spectating a feud between the rich and the powerful.
But as the curtains slowly opened, they realized that this play was actually closely related to all of them.
They realized that in the society they lived in, there used to be people like Qin Suwen, who had a strong sense of justice. They were truly kind and loving, and they had maintained the justice and fairness of society.
However, why did such a good person die so early?
Amidst everyone's regret and sorrow, Lu Anpeng slowly said, "… Because Lawyer Qin Suwen pushed for the legislation in parliament, human embryo experiments in the scientific community were finally banned."
"But …" Lu Anpeng glanced at Gu Nianzhi. "As the most outstanding scientist and the smartest scholar in the Huaxia Empire in the past 500 years, Gu Xiangwen was unwilling to be bound by this law."
"He wanted to do genetic experiments and human embryo experiments. He wanted to win another Nobel Prize and become a world-famous scientist!"
"But Qin Suwen stopped him in his tracks. He thought that she was a stumbling block on his path to success."
"So, Gu Xiangwen used his genius mind to design a murder."
"In this layer of murder, he didn't make a move, but he made Qin Suwen suddenly die in front of him."
"And …"
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and raised her hand lazily. "Objection. The defendant's lawyer's analysis of motive is completely illogical. It's equivalent to making up stories. Please dismiss the defendant's lawyer's fiction in court and return the dignity of the law. "
Lu Anpeng blushed slightly at Gu Nianzhi's words, but he still said politely, "Lawyer Lu, please be careful with your words. May I ask what's illogical about our motive analysis?"
Gu Nianzhi stood up and picked up a file. She walked to the center of the courtroom and stood opposite Lu Anpeng. She said, "Lawyer Lu, you mean that Gu Xiangwen wanted to kill Qin Suwen because of the law that prohibits scientists from conducting human embryo genetic experiments on others, right?"
Lu Anpeng pushed his gold-rimmed glasses up the bridge of his nose and nodded. "Yes. But … "
Gu Nianzhi didn't allow him to continue and immediately said, "But most people know that the reason a law becomes a law is because the Senate voted to pass it. To abolish a law, one only needs to pass the Senate. What's the use of killing Lawyer Qin Suwen? Could it be that if she dies, this law will automatically be abolished? "
Gu Nianzhi spread her hands and turned to face the public gallery in the courtroom. She said mockingly, "The defendant's lawyer just praised Gu Xiangwen for being the best scientist and the smartest scholar in the Huaxia Empire in the past 500 years. — The smartest scholar, in order to abolish a law, came up with such a thing? Are you too arrogant, or are you looking down on our intelligence? "
Everyone in the courtroom burst into laughter, especially Lu Jin, who laughed the loudest and most exaggerated.
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help glancing at him warningly.
Lu Jin felt Gu Nianzhi's cold gaze in the crowd. He shrunk his neck and almost slipped under his seat.
Lu Anpeng waited for everyone to stop laughing before saying calmly, "It's not that I'm too arrogant, and it's not that I can't see everyone's intelligence. It's that the brain circuits of a genius are not something that you and I can understand. "
As he spoke, Lu Anpeng walked back to his seat and took out a document from the file. He handed it to Gu Nianzhi and said, "Lawyer Gu, take a look for yourself. Doesn't Gu Xiangwen have a bone-deep hatred for Qin Suwen?!"
Gu Nianzhi looked down at the document that Lu Anpeng had handed over.
It was a piece of molded A4 paper with four comics drawn on it.
From top to bottom, the first picture was a car on fire. In the raging fire stood a man. There was an arrow above the man's head, and the arrow was connected to a dialog box with the words "Gu Xiangwen" written on it.
The second picture was a scene in a hospital. A girl was lying on the operating table, and four or five doctors wearing masks were operating on her.
The girl's eyes were open, and her face was terrifying and ferocious. However, her eyes were calm and clear, like Lake Namtso reflecting the blue sky in September.
There was an arrow above the girl's head pointing at her. Behind the arrow was a dialog box with the words "Qin Suwen" written on it.
The third picture was still a hospital, but the hospital bed here was a little more dilapidated. It wasn't as exquisite and luxurious as the hospital bed in the second picture.
The girl was lying on the hospital bed, and a sneaky black figure was trying to inject medicine into her infusion bottle.
There was also an arrow above the girl's head pointing at her. The dialog box behind the arrow was still the words "Qin Suwen".
The fourth picture was also a car on fire. Just like the first picture, inside the car, a girl was burning in the fire, and there were two figures hugging her tightly in front and behind her.
There was also an arrow box with the words "Qin Suwen" above the girl's head.
Also, the words "Qin Suwen" were densely written on all the empty spaces on the paper. There were arrows piercing through the heart. It made people feel like they were suffering from trypophobia.
Then, on the four corners of the paper, there were four thick black characters. When they were connected, they read "Life, Life, Death, Death".
It was supposed to be a very interesting and romantic comic, and it also carried Gu Xiangwen's secret feelings for Qin Suwen. However, because of the densely packed names that were pierced through the heart by arrows, and the four words "Life, Life, Death, Death" in the four corners, it became strange and dark.
It was like a patient with mental illness drawing his most terrifying dream to a psychiatrist.
Gu Nianzhi couldn't even laugh.
Where did this come from?!
She looked up and asked Lu Anpeng expressionlessly, "Lawyer Lu, what's going on?"
"… This is the information I obtained from my client." Lu Anpeng put his hands in his trouser pockets and said calmly, "Gu Xiangwen and my client, Ms. Qin Yaoguang, used to run a biomedical laboratory together. This is what he left in the laboratory desk."
"After Gu Xiangwen absconded, the police searched his residence and office many times. However, this plastic painting was placed in a large volume of original English information, and the police didn't find it."
Gu Nianzhi replied with an "oh" and looked at Qin Yaoguang meaningfully. "… Your client, Qin Yaoguang, found something that even the police didn't find. I'm afraid she searched Gu Xiangwen's office before the police did, right? After all, she's always coveted Gu Xiangwen's research results … "
"Objection." Lu Anpeng's voice turned cold. "Lawyer Gu, please don't use unfounded reasoning to guess my client's character."
Gu Nianzhi smiled and said, "Your client's character really doesn't need me to guess. She knows what she's done."
Lu Anpeng ignored Gu Nianzhi and raised his hand to show the dark-style comic to the people inside and outside the courtroom.
"Everyone, please take a look. Gu Xiangwen's drawing has been drawn for at least ten years."
"On it, he drew several scenes, which reflect his subconscious."
"He had wanted Qin Suwen to die for almost ten years."
"In the end, he couldn't continue to control the devil in his heart, so on that day, he tried to contact lawyer Qin Suwen and said that he had something important to discuss with her …"
Gu Nianzhi: "!!!"
F * ck his subconscious!
F * ck his "he had wanted Qin Suwen to die for more than ten years"!
However, the biggest culprit behind all this misunderstanding was her dear father — Lu Gu Xiangwen Jin!
Gu Nianzhi couldn't control herself. She turned around and glared at Lu Jin, who was sitting in the gallery.
She really had to give it to him. He could even draw an infatuated confession comic in a terrifying dark style!
