As soon as Gu Nianzhi finished speaking, she immediately displayed the ID Kevin filled in when he entered the country. There was even a copy of his passport application form in the United States!
The US passport didn't have a race option, but it was on the passport application form. However, this option could be filled in or not. It wasn't mandatory.
However, for some reason, Kevin had ticked off the "Chinese" option on all the applications.
To Americans, both Chinese and Japanese were Asian. Asking them to differentiate between Chinese and Japanese was like asking Huaxia people to differentiate between white Americans and white Europeans. It was difficult to tell the difference from appearance.
Also, because the Huaxia Empire had a stronger presence internationally in recent years, many Americans would assume an East Asian was Chinese when they saw him or her.
And in the past few years, all Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Indian, and even people from Southeast Asian countries were uniformly referred to as Asians in the United States. The government documents didn't have such a clear distinction.
With the development of the Asian community, the smart, capable, and hardworking Asians had a higher and higher status in American society. Their economic conditions were getting better and better. Seeing that they were about to unite and have their own political demands, the white people became anxious. The elites who liked to engage in politics quickly came up with a very insidious plan.
This was the Asian subdivision principle.
They reclassified the previously unified Asian Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Korean, and Southeast Asian Chinese into different racial categories and linked them to various social resources.
In this way, in order to compete for limited social resources, Asians were bound to fight with each other and become a mess. In one fell swoop, the possibility of Asians being able to unite and become a political force in the UA political arena was killed.
Therefore, in the application documents of the US government, the former Asians were divided into a number of detailed racial divisions.
Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Indian, and people born in Southeast Asian countries were all categorized very carefully.
It even became part of their identification.
Kevin's American lawyers were very familiar with this history, so when they saw Gu Nianzhi type out the application document, they couldn't help but have a conflicted expression.
Wasn't this shooting oneself in the foot?!
They had carefully prepared so much evidence, even connecting the President and the Secretary of State, but they had failed because of a small racial division!
On the government application document, a person only had one racial attribute. Even if you were mixed Huaxia and Japanese, you would have your own racial attribute in the United States, which was called Hybrid.
If Kevin acknowledged his identity as a mixed-race, he wouldn't have written that he was "Chinese" when applying for a passport.
However, according to the information from the places he went to school, his identity was Japanese, not Chinese.
Lu Anpeng's expression changed as he immediately stood up and said, "Objection! The prosecution lawyer used illegal means to obtain my client's identification documents. On behalf of my client, I request the court not to use the illegally obtained information! "
Gu Nianzhi smiled and said, "Lawyer Lu, why do you think my information is illegal? Can't I obtain this information legally? "
Lu Anpeng was stunned, but he quickly reacted and said, "The trial was suddenly announced today, but Great Lawyer Gu has been preparing this information for at least two months."
Gu Nianzhi wasn't sure, but she didn't deny it either. She said meaningfully, "… Likewise."
Everyone knew that she was referring to Kevin's diplomatic status.
It turned out that while they thought they were stalling for time, the Huaxia Empire's lawyers and law enforcement officers hadn't been idle …
The feelings of Kevin's American lawyers were indescribable.
The important evidence that Gu Nianzhi had produced today was, of course, based on the information provided by Huo Shaoheng. She had used legal means to collect it again.
More than two months ago, Huo Shaoheng had asked his field personnel to investigate Kevin's background abroad and discovered some very interesting phenomena.
For example, his race. Of course, there were some other problems.
Gu Nianzhi hadn't brought it up yet.
The information that could be obtained in court was all through the light and had legal proof. It wasn't the original information that Huo Shaoheng and the others had collected.
Gu Nianzhi quickly typed up the inquiry statement that she had provided to the US government agency as a lawyer.
Lu Anpeng felt like he had been punched in the face. He asked in surprise, "… How can the US government agency provide you with this information that involves the privacy of citizens?! This is illegal! "
Gu Nianzhi raised an eyebrow and said nonchalantly, "I obtained these identity documents the way you obtained Kevin's diplomatic status. If I break the law, you will break the law too. How about it? In order to pull me down, why don't you admit that you illegally obtained your client's diplomatic status first? I'll admit that I illegally obtained this evidence for the trial. "
Lu Anpeng didn't have time to speak before the Indian lawyer immediately jumped up and shouted, "Objection! Our diplomatic status was obtained legally, and your application documents were obtained illegally. It's not the same thing at all! "
He looked in the direction of the courtroom and continued to speak passionately, "Your Honor, the prosecution's lawyer has already admitted in court that her information was obtained illegally! On behalf of my client, I strongly request that the prosecution's lawyer be severely punished for illegally obtaining my client's privacy! "
Gu Nianzhi couldn't hold it in anymore. She rolled her eyes and said, "When did you hear me say that my information was obtained illegally?! Is there something wrong with your hearing, or is there something wrong with your IQ? "
The Indian lawyer, Arif, was most proud of his IQ. When he heard Gu Nianzhi belittle his IQ like that, he immediately flew into a rage and almost swung his fist. "Prosecution lawyer, don't go too far! My Chinese is over level six! And my IQ has always been very stable. Thank you for your compliment! "
Gu Nianzhi stopped smiling and quickly clicked on the computer. She typed up the complete information chain that she had obtained from the US government.
She didn't look up as she said, "This is my New York State Lawyer's License. As an American lawyer, I am requesting legal assistance from Mr. Hout, the New York Congressman of the US Senate. I hope that he can endorse me and request the US immigration agency to review the original information that Kevin filled in when he applied for a US passport.
You are successful lawyers in the United States, so you know better than I do the regulatory function of the US Senator to the government.
As long as it is a request from a senator, the government agency cannot refuse unless the information involves national security secrets.
Kevin is only a normal citizen in the US immigration agency's information and does not involve any national security secrets. Therefore, the US immigration agency sent Kevin's application information to Congressman Hout.
Mr. Hout shared this information with me. I have a signed letter from Mr. Hout here. Do you want to see it? "
Gu Nianzhi's fingers clicked on the mouse and she looked coldly at the Indian lawyer, Arif. "Lawyer Arif, the way I obtained this information is more legal than the way you obtained Kevin's diplomatic status."
The Indian lawyer, Arif, was anxious. He scratched his ears and cheeks for a long time before saying, "… But you are a Huaxia Empire lawyer. Where did you get your American lawyer license?!"
"Two years ago, I interned with my mentor, Professor He Zhichu, at the US Congress for six months." Gu Nianzhi calmly tossed out He Zhichu.
Although He Zhichu had only been in this world for four years, he had already made a name for himself in the American legal world.
When Gu Nianzhi mentioned He Zhichu, even the Indian lawyer, Arif, was stumped.
He froze for a moment before remembering that Gu Nianzhi was the favorite student of the legendary American legal world, He Zhichu.
Gu Nianzhi thought of He Zhichu, and her voice softened. She smiled and said, "When my mentor forced me to take the New York State Bar exam, I was quite unwilling. I didn't expect to be able to help me today. "
She looked at everyone and said proudly, "My mentor, Professor He Zhichu, is a very good professor. He is the kind of hardcore professor who would send mercenaries to rescue you even if you were captured by terrorists and bring you back to complete your thesis!"
