The two lawyers stood in the middle of the courtroom with their sides facing the public gallery.
Gu Nianzhi simply held the cartoon and walked down. She walked around the public gallery and showed it to everyone before walking back to the middle of the courtroom.
Lu Anpeng was a little disdainful of Gu Nianzhi's sensationalism, but he didn't show it.
When Gu Nianzhi stood still, Lu Anpeng said, "Lawyer Gu, are you sure that the murder against lawyer Qin Suwen started when she was eight years old and didn't stop until the day she died?"
Gu Nianzhi nodded. "That's right."
Lu Anpeng chuckled. "That's good. This proves that my client, Ms. Qin Yaoguang, wasn't the murderer who murdered lawyer Qin Suwen."
He turned to face the judge and said loudly, "When lawyer Qin Suwen was eight years old, Ms. Qin Yaoguang was only nine years old. If the murder really started then, then it has nothing to do with my client, Ms. Qin Yaoguang. I once again request the court to invalidate this case and not pursue my client's responsibility and trouble. "
Gu Nianzhi raised her hand and tapped Lu Anpeng's shoulder again. She said crisply, "Lawyer Lu, who said a nine-year-old can't participate in murder? Aren't you being too prejudiced by what you're saying? "
Lu Anpeng turned to look at her. He really felt that Gu Nianzhi was being unreasonable. He frowned and said, "Even if a nine-year-old can participate in murder, according to our country's criminal law, minors under the age of 14 don't have to bear any criminal responsibility no matter what they commit. So, Your Honor, can this case be canceled? "
Gu Nianzhi smiled. "Lawyer Lu has been trying to cancel this case, but unfortunately, the facts are not satisfactory."
Before the judge could make a judgment, Gu Nianzhi quickly said, "Your Honor, people under the age of 14 don't have to bear criminal responsibility for committing a crime, but what about after they reach adulthood?"
She took a step forward and almost pressed Lu Anpeng's face. "Lawyer Lu, don't forget that I just said that this murder took more than 30 years. Qin Yaoguang is already an adult. Are you saying that she can't bear legal responsibility?! Who made the law? You? "
Lu Anpeng frowned and took a step back. He said unhappily, "Lawyer Gu, what you're saying is that my client started planning the murder when she was nine years old, and it took more than thirty years for the murder to succeed? Don't you think it's ridiculous? "
Gu Nianzhi shook her head and smiled. "I don't think so."
Then, he praised Lu Anpeng, "As expected of a great lawyer. You saw through the truth of this case with just one look!"
Lu Anpeng chuckled. "Lawyer Gu, I didn't mean that. From the beginning to the end, I don't think my client has anything to do with Qin Suwen's death! "
"You really didn't?" Gu Nianzhi waved the dark comic she had snatched from Lu Anpeng in front of him. "But look, how do you explain this?"
Lu Anpeng took another step back and pursed his lips, not saying another word.
Gu Nianzhi turned to face the people in the gallery and the camera by the wall. She said calmly, "I just proved that Qin Yaoguang had the motive to murder lawyer Qin Suwen. Now, let's talk about how Qin Yaoguang murdered lawyer Qin Suwen. In other words, how did she kill lawyer Qin Suwen?"
After a pause, Gu Nianzhi walked back to her plaintiff's stand. She turned on her laptop and connected it to the projector in the courtroom. She projected a forensic report and a doctor's diagnosis report onto the white projection screen.
The court technician immediately dimmed the lights in the courtroom a little, but it didn't turn completely dark like before.
Everyone's eyes were attracted by the two reports on the white projection screen.
Gu Nianzhi pointed at the forensic report and said, "This shows that lawyer Qin Suwen died suddenly because of a heart problem."
"And the doctor's diagnosis report next to it was made when lawyer Qin Suwen was young. It proves that she had congenital heart disease."
"According to the information I found, congenital heart disease is related to heredity and is determined by genes."
"People with congenital heart disease will have it in their families."
As Gu Nianzhi spoke, she clicked the mouse again and changed the other two medical reports and doctor's certificates.
"I have two more pieces of evidence here. They were provided by lawyer Qin Suwen's two nephews, Qin Zhiyuan and Qin Zhining."
Gu Nianzhi glanced in the direction where Qin Zhiyuan and Qin Zhining were sitting and nodded at them.
Lu Anpeng also took a look and recognized Qin Zhiyuan and Qin Zhining.
As Qin Yaoguang's defense lawyer, he had a thorough understanding of the people and things related to Qin Suwen. Of course, he had also investigated Qin Suwen's family.
"Everyone, please take a look. In these two diagnoses that have just been made, it proves that Qin Zhiyuan and Qin Zhining do not have congenital heart disease. Moreover, their DNA tests also prove that they do not have this gene. So, may I ask, where did lawyer Qin Suwen's congenital heart disease come from?"
Gu Nianzhi put one hand behind her back and walked up to Qin Yaoguang. She looked at her with a smile and said, "Ms. Qin Yaoguang, as a scientist in biological genetic medicine, can you explain to us why Qin Zhiyuan and Qin Zhining don't have the gene for congenital heart disease?"
Perhaps it was because Lu Anpeng had always had the upper hand, but Qin Yaoguang didn't get angry. She maintained her poise and didn't immediately answer Gu Nianzhi's question. Instead, she looked at her defense lawyer, Lu Anpeng.
Lu Anpeng walked over and reached out his hand. He gently knocked on the dock twice and said to Gu Nianzhi, "Lawyer Gu, my client doesn't need to answer this question. I've already invited an expert witness. He's a world-renowned heart surgeon and has absolute authority in the field of congenital heart disease. He can answer your question."
"Oh?" Gu Nianzhi deliberately put on a confident look. She tilted her head and said proudly, "Then can I trouble your expert witness to explain?"
Lu Anpeng immediately applied to the court for the expert witness to appear in court.
His witness list had been submitted to the court a long time ago, and all the formalities had been completed.
Therefore, the judge quickly agreed to his application and had the expert witness waiting in the next room brought in.
The expert witness who came in with the bailiff was a middle-aged man about the same age as Lu Anpeng. He was very tall and looked very muscular and fit. It was obvious that he worked out regularly.
He wore a light gray thin wool suit and a silver-gray striped tie. He stood at the witness stand and followed the bailiff to read the witness oath before sitting down.
After the judge verified his identity, he said, "Doctor Cen, the prosecution lawyer has a question about congenital heart disease. I hope you can answer it from an academic perspective."
Doctor Cen nodded. "Your Honor, I'll do my best to answer the prosecution lawyer's question."
Gu Nianzhi nodded at him with a smile and repeated the question she'd asked earlier.
Lu Anpeng also introduced the background of the question. "The prosecution lawyer just said that congenital heart disease is determined by genes, or in other words, heredity."
"Therefore, she started with Lawyer Qin Suwen's family and proved that her family didn't have the genes for congenital heart disease. Therefore, she proved that Lawyer Qin Suwen didn't have congenital heart disease. Therefore, the cause of her death is worth discussing."
Gu Nianzhi nodded and almost applauded him. "Lawyer Lu summed it up well! That's exactly what I meant! "
Lu Anpeng was speechless.
He felt like something wasn't right, but he knew that his logic and common sense were impeccable.
Doctor Cen solemnly took out a document from his briefcase and retorted, "The premise of what the prosecution lawyer just said about congenital heart disease is wrong."
"This is an authoritative medical article on congenital heart disease. It proves that there are many causes of congenital heart disease, and genes, or hereditary factors, actually only account for 8% of congenital heart disease."
"And 92% of congenital heart disease is caused by environmental factors. Especially when a woman is affected to a certain extent during pregnancy, especially during the critical period of the fetal heart development, it can also cause congenital heart disease in the fetus. "
Gu Nianzhi pretended to be shocked and interrupted, "No way? External factors can cause congenital heart disease in the fetus?! Doctor Cen, what external factors can cause congenital heart disease? Can you tell us about it? "
Doctor Cen said professionally, "The early period of heart development in the fetus is very critical. If the mother takes inappropriate drugs at this time, or is infected with a virus, or is exposed to environmental pollution or radiation, it can seriously affect the development of the fetus' heart and greatly increase the possibility of congenital heart disease in the fetus. "
Gu Nianzhi exclaimed in a professional manner, "Virus?! Virus infection can also cause congenital heart disease in the fetus?! This has completely overturned my understanding of congenital heart disease? I thought it was caused by genes, or heredity … "
Doctor Cen smiled gently. "No, your understanding is wrong. Most congenital heart disease has nothing to do with heredity. The influence of the virus is indeed greater. If the mother is infected with the rubella virus in the first three months of pregnancy, there is a 90% chance that the fetus will suffer from congenital heart disease. "
Lu Anpeng interrupted and said, "Our expert witness has already confirmed that most congenital heart disease has nothing to do with heredity, so even if lawyer Gu proves that Qin Zhiyuan and Qin Zhining don't have the genes for congenital heart disease, it doesn't prove that lawyer Qin Suwen doesn't have congenital heart disease."
"In that case, lawyer Qin Suwen suddenly had a congenital heart disease, which caused her sudden death. It still has nothing to do with my client, Ms. Qin Yaoguang. "
Gu Nianzhi glanced at him with a smile and didn't answer him. Instead, she continued to question the expert witness.
"Then what you're saying is that after the mother is infected by the virus, the virus is transmitted to the fetus through the placenta, placenta, and blood, which causes the fetus to get sick, right?"
Doctor Cen nodded. "That's right. The fetus must be infected by the virus to get sick."
Gu Nianzhi immediately asked, "That means that the virus is the one that causes a person to get sick. It has nothing to do with its transmission channel."
"As long as the human body is infected by the virus, regardless of whether it's acquired in the mother or after birth, it will get sick, right?"
Doctor Cen hesitated for a moment, but still nodded. "In theory, that's the case."
Gu Nianzhi immediately asked, "Then if someone injected the virus directly into a person's body, would it also cause that person to have the same congenital heart disease symptoms?"
Lu Anpeng's expression darkened.
He finally understood where Gu Nianzhi was going to start!
