Dr. Cen, the expert witness invited by Lu Anpeng, replied seriously, "In theory, it's possible, but it's too difficult to do so. Also, as far as I know, this virus has never appeared before."
"Why?" Gu Nianzhi didn't interrupt Dr. Cen's narration and continued to ask questions.
"The reason is very simple. If you were infected by the virus during the fetal period, you would have symptoms of heart underdevelopment. This is congenital heart disease."
"And if you were infected after birth, your organs would have already fully developed. How could you have symptoms of heart underdevelopment? Could it be that a fully developed organ can grow in reverse? "
Dr. Cen laughed in what he thought was humor.
Gu Nianzhi, on the other hand, seemed to have been enlightened. She suddenly understood many key points that she didn't know very well.
When she stood in court, her court defense strategy was the route of "if you want to take, you must first give."
It seemed like she was in a disadvantageous position. The flawed evidence and arguments that she released were repeatedly refuted by the other party, but she advanced step by step and found her advantage from the other party's repeated refutations. She dealt a heavy blow to the other party!
Her eyes flashed as she said, "Then what if there was such a virus? Would it be possible to have such symptoms?"
Dr. Cen was a very professional person. He didn't force himself to be "authoritative" in a field he didn't understand. Instead, he said very modestly, "This belongs to the field of genetics. I don't know much about it, so I can't answer."
Lu Anpeng quickly continued, "So in reality, it's impossible. Lawyer Gu, please don't be delusional. Exhausting it in theory has no practical meaning for our case. "
Gu Nianzhi smiled and shook her right index finger. "No, no. Lawyer Lu, for other cases, I can say that exhausting it in theory has no practical meaning for this case. "
Then, she pointed at Qin Yaoguang. "But don't forget, what is the identity of your client, Ms. Qin Yaoguang?"
"She's an internationally renowned brain surgeon, a biomedical genetic expert, and the first person to propose 'gene editing' in the world!"
"How can you say that things related to genetics have no practical meaning for this case?"
As Gu Nianzhi spoke, she glanced at He Zhichu and He Chengjian, who were sitting in the gallery.
As expected, the two of them were more focused and nervous than the others.
Because they were Qin Suwen's family, and they were the real parties involved.
Although Gu Nianzhi hadn't finished speaking, they had already realized the importance of it and sat up straight in unison.
Both of them had been in the army for many years. Their sitting postures were completely different from ordinary people, so it was easy to tell them apart.
Lu Anpeng's back began to sweat, but he remained calm and collected on the surface. He pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said in a calm and composed manner, "That's even more off the mark. My client, Ms. Qin Yaoguang, is indeed an internationally renowned biomedical genetic expert. She is even one step away from winning the Nobel Prize in biology. "
"But don't forget, she's almost the same age as Madam Qin Suwen. Don't tell me that Madam Qin Yaoguang is talented and can do genetic research since she was young?"
This was indeed a problem.
However, it wasn't a problem for Gu Nianzhi.
Because her goal had never been Qin Yaoguang alone.
Qin Yaoguang was just a cover. She wanted to use her to pull out another person even if she lost the case.
"Well said, Lawyer Lu!" Gu Nianzhi immediately applauded Lu Anpeng.
Lu Anpeng's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
It was definitely not a good thing for him to be applauded and praised by the opposing lawyer in court.
Gu Nianzhi looked at Lu Anpeng's dark face in amusement and said further, "Madam Qin Yaoguang is indeed the same age as lawyer Qin Suwen, so Madam Qin Yaoguang isn't the only murderer in this murder case that started when lawyer Qin Suwen was eight years old!"
Lu Anpeng came back to his senses and quickly said, "But Madam Qin Yaoguang is the only defendant in our case. If there's anyone else …"
"If there's anyone else, we have to find out if that person is Madam Qin Yaoguang's accomplice or the mastermind of this case." Gu Nianzhi's expression turned cold. "Lawyer Lu, don't forget that although the defendant in this case is Qin Yaoguang, the purpose of this case is to find the real murderer for lawyer Qin Suwen's death!"
"You're twisting words and forcing logic!" Lu Anpeng said loudly, "Your Honor, I ask the court to prohibit the prosecution's lawyer from continuing to talk about people or things that have nothing to do with this case!"
The judge folded his hands on the file in front of him and sighed softly. He raised his hand and said, "Lawyer for the prosecution, please be careful not to be too distracted. If the murderer in this case is someone else, we can choose a later date to retry the case."
Gu Nianzhi shook her head. "Your Honor, I'll soon be able to prove that Qin Yaoguang is definitely one of the murderers. I can't say that the murderer is someone else."
The judge pondered for a moment and reluctantly nodded. "Then please continue to produce evidence to prove your point."
Gu Nianzhi nodded in agreement and immediately asked Lu Anpeng, "Just now, you and your expert witness proved that Madam Qin Suwen did have congenital heart disease, and this congenital heart disease was not inherited, but because of other factors. Madam Qin Suwen had the disease when she was still a fetus, right?"
Lu Anpeng hesitated for a moment.
If he said no, then Gu Nianzhi would be able to prove that Qin Suwen's congenital heart disease had been acquired after birth. In other words, there was a virus that could cause a person to get sick after birth.
But Doctor Cen had also said that this was only a theoretical possibility. In fact, there was no such virus, and whether organs could grow in reverse belonged to the field of genetics.
Although Doctor Cen didn't elaborate, Lu Anpeng knew that Doctor Cen was just being cautious. He wouldn't give any authoritative testimony in court if it wasn't in his field of expertise.
But in reality, this was no different from denying it.
Lu Anpeng composed himself and nodded. "Yes, since there's no problem with the Qin family's genes, then something must have happened to Madam Qin Suwen's mother when she was pregnant."
"She might have been infected with the rubella virus, or there might have been an accident, environmental pollution, or radiation."
Gu Nianzhi spread her hands and said regretfully, "But unfortunately, Lawyer Qin Suwen's mother died in a car accident when she was eight years old. She was burned to death."
"In that case, we don't seem to be able to prove when Madam Qin Suwen got sick with congenital heart disease?"
Lu Anpeng's brows were tightly furrowed. His regular facial features showed a very stern expression. He looked like a political science dean in a school or an instructor in the army.
He said in a low voice, "Do we still need to prove this? Madam Qin Suwen must have gotten sick when she was still a fetus. I thought we had already reached a consensus. "
"I didn't reach a consensus with you."
Gu Nianzhi pointed at her head. "I think the problem is very open-minded and definitely won't be limited to one set of rules."
"In other words, I'm very good at brain teasers."
As she spoke, Gu Nianzhi held up Gu Xiangwen's dark comic again and showed it to everyone in court.
"For example, this picture. Most people look at the picture from top to bottom, but some people are used to looking from bottom to top."
"If this picture is looked from bottom to top, its meaning will completely change."
"This first picture will become a car on fire. A girl is burning in the fire, and there are two figures hugging her tightly in front and behind her."
"From the name in the arrow box, we know that the girl is Qin Suwen. So this picture should be the scene of Qin Suwen's family getting into a car accident."
"In other words, this happened when Qin Suwen was eight years old."
"And the picture of the dilapidated hospital bed becomes the second picture."
"In this picture, we can see Qin Suwen lying on the hospital bed. A sneaky black figure is trying to inject medicine into her IV."
"From this sequence, the third picture is still a scene in the hospital. Qin Suwen is lying on the operating table, and four or five doctors wearing masks are performing surgery on her.
Her eyes are open, and her face is terrifying and ferocious, but her eyes are calm and clear. "
Gu Nianzhi's voice was trembling slightly. Anyone familiar with her would be able to tell that she was trying her best to hold back her sobs.
Huo Shaoheng had been sitting not far from her and hadn't said a word from beginning to end. At this moment, he nodded slightly at her and stared at her with a gentle gaze.
Gu Nianzhi's tumbling emotions were completely soothed.
She took a deep breath and continued, "This way, the chronology is very obvious."
"The first picture of the car accident is the picture of Qin Suwen's family of three having an accident when she was eight years old."
"The second picture is the picture of Qin Suwen being treated for burns in the hospital after the car accident. From this, we can already see that someone wanted to harm her. Look at this sneaky black figure, it's definitely not a doctor or a nurse. What is he adding to Qin Suwen's IV? "
"And the third picture is the picture of Madam Qin Suwen undergoing plastic surgery after her face was disfigured in the car accident."
Gu Nianzhi paused at this point, then changed the topic and looked at the expert witness, Dr. Cen.
"Dr. Cen, as the leading expert in cardiac surgery, can you tell me how a patient with congenital heart disease should be taken care of to ensure that she can grow up to be an adult?"
Dr. Cen mused, "First of all, of course, she needs to rest quietly and not be stimulated by anything. The stimulation I'm talking about is not only mental, but also physical. "
"Actually, for those who are congenitally weak, most of the mental stimulation comes from physical stimulation."
Gu Nianzhi spoke quickly, "Then do you know that when Madam Qin Suwen had a large area of burns when she was young, it is very stimulating to the body?"
Dr. Cen, "…"
Lu Anpeng, "!!!"
Gu Nianzhi saw their faces turn pale and did not allow them to refute, so she immediately said, "Lawyer Lu believes that Lawyer Qin Suwen received congenital heart disease from her mother when she was still a fetus."
"Then how did Lawyer Qin Suwen, who was born with congenital heart disease, survive the severe burns when she was eight years old? Survive the recovery period after the burns? Survive the plastic surgery period after that?! "
"Dr. Cen, as the leading expert in this field, can you explain to us how something like this that defies common sense in medicine happened?!"
