As soon as Gu Nianzhi finished speaking, the quiet courtroom erupted into a round of applause.
The people in the gallery all stood up and clapped enthusiastically for Gu Nianzhi. It was as if she wasn't a lawyer defending herself, but a triumphant hero, a star on the stage.
She used her outstanding abilities to win everyone's praise.
Yin Shixiong shouted, "Nianzhi! Good job! "
She managed to turn the tables around!
How could she come back from death's door?!
When he heard Gu Yanran's flawless story, even Yin Shixiong, who knew the inside story, believed it …
He still remembered his brain crashing for a moment.
There was only one voice in his ears. "Oh no … Nianzhi is Japanese … Leak … Leak … Major leak!"
Then, like a stroke of genius, Gu Nianzhi used a specific piece of the Japanese genome to refute Gu Yanran's lies. Yin Shixiong finally felt alive again!
Ma Qiqi couldn't help whistling. "Nianzhi, Nianzhi, I love you!"
Song Jinning, who had always been calm and composed, also smiled and loved Gu Nianzhi even more.
Secretary Cao also stood up and clapped louder than anyone else!
This time, he was determined to get Gu Nianzhi into the Secretariat of the Supreme Military Council. He couldn't miss out on a talent like her!
He planned to write an internal reference for General Ji as soon as the hearing ended.
He Zhichu didn't stand up, but his shimmering, sultry eyes stared at Gu Nianzhi. There was no one else but her in his eyes.
The corners of his lips curled up slightly as he looked at her intently. His eyes were very gentle.
Xie Qingying was the one who felt the most relieved.
She couldn't bear the possibility that she was Japanese. If she really was, she and her father would probably be banished by the Xie's …
Luckily, Gu Nianzhi was able to wash away Gu Yanran's slander with a few words!
In that instant, Xie Qingying's feelings for Gu Nianzhi improved a lot.
Xie Dezhao was even more grateful and treated Gu Nianzhi like a relative.
Even the spectators on Gu Yanran's side applauded.
One of the bodyguards was so fascinated that he couldn't help clapping for Gu Nianzhi.
Mrs. James, Gu Yanran's housekeeper, turned around and glared at the bodyguard.
The bodyguard, who had forgotten himself, rubbed his nose and did not clap with her.
The judge leaned back in his high-back chair and chuckled. After a while, he raised his hand to silence the applause from Gu Nianzhi's side and pretended to be stern. "No noise in the courtroom."
After a pause, he added, "… Just this once."
Yin Shixiong and the others laughed and sat down, no longer applauding.
Jin Wanyi was so angry that she fell backwards.
Gu Nianzhi had given her another fatal blow!
This time, it was in a situation that she thought was foolproof!
Did she have to avoid Gu Nianzhi every time she saw her in court?!
…
"You, you, you … what are you talking about? What DNA sequencing?! " Gu Yanran's forehead was sweating profusely, and her entire body was trembling. Even her voice was trembling. She grabbed Jin Wanyi, who was next to her, like she was clutching onto her last life-saving straw. She was extremely anxious. "Wanyi, Wanyi, quickly refute! Was she spouting nonsense?! They're all Asian Asians, how can there be such a difference?! "
In terms of appearance, there was no difference between the Japanese and the Chinese at all!
Gu Nianzhi flipped through Gu Tian's adoption document provided by Gu Yanran and twirled the paper with her hand. She smiled. "This document is quite old … Hmm, looks like when you prepared this adoption document, DNA sequencing was far from what it is now."
Or rather, people back then didn't know that Japanese people had their own DNA that was different from the main ethnic groups in the Hua Xia Empire?
"That saying is right. Science and technology are the first productive forces." Gu Nianzhi was humorous. "You have to keep up with the times even if you want to scheme. Otherwise, the development of technology will expose you instantly. Look, isn't this a blatant example? "
"Don't be so smug!" Gu Yanran was exasperated. She could no longer maintain her poise and elegance. Like a cornered beast, she grabbed the defendant's chair and stood up again. "You're lying! My father is Japanese! "
"I didn't say your father wasn't Japanese. Look, the DNA sequencing has already proven it. "Gu Nianzhi used a laser pointer to point at Gu Yanran and the vegetable's DNA sequence.
"I said my father, Gu Xiangwen, is Japanese!" Gu Yanran almost shouted. "So your inference is not valid!"
"Oh? Is that so? " Gu Nianzhi was calm and spoke to Gu Yanran like she was playing with a cat or a dog. "But Kevin Ku used the identity of a Chinese person when he published his thesis. Do you want me to show you how he was introduced in the top international magazines? "
Gu Yanran was so shocked she couldn't speak.
Gu Nianzhi didn't give her any more time to think. She took a step forward and approached Gu Yanran. "Gu Yanran, do you know why Gu Xiangwen can't be Japanese? It's because of this! "
Gu Nianzhi held up the so-called Japanese adoption document that Gu Yanran had given her.
If she hadn't seen the Japanese adoption document, Gu Nianzhi wouldn't have been able to immediately connect the DNA sequencing results to race.
However, the "Japanese" adoption document was like a bridge that connected two pieces of originally unrelated evidence in Gu Nianzhi's mind.
"In order to frame Gu Tian, you didn't hesitate to use this adoption document from Chiba Prefecture to prove that Gu Tian is Japanese and was adopted. What does this mean? This means that the Gus may have adopted a Japanese girl back then. Because it would be too easy to find out if the adoption document was made up out of nothing. However, if it was just a false identity, it would be much easier to lie. "
"Also, the adoption document has the nationality and race of the adopter. It's too late for you to say Gu Xiangwen is Japanese now. The adoption document issued by Japan's Qianyang Province clearly stated that the adopter was a Chinese, not a Japanese! This is the most powerful evidence! "
Gu Yanran was defeated by this detail. She collapsed on the chair, her expression blank and almost drooling.
"I'm guessing what you did back then. You must have used some means to change Gu Jing's adoption document to Gu Tian's name and identity. They should be around the same age and have the same blood type. That way, you only needed to bribe a small bureaucrat in Chiba Prefecture to change the name. You didn't even need to bribe him. You only needed to find an opportunity to say that Gu Jing changed her name, and you would be able to change her name openly.
If you don't believe me, we can check with the Chiba Prefecture to see if Shizuko Kasahara requested to change her name. "
"The adoption documents from 30 to 40 years ago were not standard. There were too many things that could be manipulated. After Gu Tian passed away and Gu Xiangwen got into trouble, you thought that you could use this method to exclude Gu Tian's family in order to replace my identity. That way, even if I found Gu Tian's family to testify for me, you could use this altered adoption document to slap me in the face. Isn't that right? "
This was why Gu Yanran was no longer afraid when she heard that Xie Dezhao and Xie Qingying were witnesses. Instead, she was calm.
"But you didn't expect that with the development of technology, things like DNA sequencing and the human genome would appear."
"When I used DNA sequencing to prove that Gu Tian was definitely not Japanese, your lies fell apart. Then, the Japanese girl that the Gu family adopted must have been someone else. "
"What you're using is the same method you used to deal with me. You're saying that all my experiences and identity are yours, and then you're planting your own experiences and identity on me."
"If the Gu family really adopted a Japanese girl back then, and this Japanese girl wasn't Gu Tian, then who was she? I think the answer is already obvious. "
"The Gu family only had two daughters in the previous generation, Gu Tian and Gu Jing. If Gu Tian wasn't, then it could only be Gu Jing. Gu Jing was the Japanese girl that the Gu family adopted. "
Gu Nianzhi's words made Gu Yanran's face pale. Her face was full of fear and panic, as if she was mentally retarded.
Gu Nianzhi reconstructed the entire incident in her mind. As she narrated, she organized the sequence of events.
"… According to the defendant, Gu Yanran, many years ago, the Gu family gave birth to a daughter named Gu Tian. However, Gu Tian had a congenital disease. In order to treat her, the Gu family found a girl who could give her a bone marrow transplant. That girl was Shizuko Kasahara. For some reason, the Gu family adopted this Japanese girl and changed her name to Gu Jing. "
"However, when Gu Tian and Gu Jing grew up and got married, Gu Jing left the Gu family when they needed Gu Jing's help. This was probably the reason why Gu Xiangwen didn't make it in time even though he promised to save his sister. This happened 27 years ago. Because Gu Jing left, Gu Tian's bone marrow transplant failed, and she passed away early. "
"And Gu Jing probably didn't have a good life after leaving the Gu family for a few years. She had an illegitimate daughter, the defendant, Gu Yanran. She probably couldn't continue living outside, heard that Gu Tian had died, or did it for her daughter. Anyway, she came back to the Gu family and Gu Xiangwen, begging him to adopt her … "
Gu Yanran's eyes narrowed when she heard that. Almost reflexively, she recovered from her daze and stood up to shout, "Nonsense! Gu Jing isn't my mommy! "
"I'm nonsense? Then do you dare to do a DNA comparison test with Gu Jing? To see if you two are mother and daughter? "Gu Nianzhi snorted at Gu Yanran's cowardly act.
As soon as Gu Yanran heard that she was going to do a DNA comparison test with Gu Jing, she became mute again.
"Don't talk to me about Gu Jing's sister anymore. I don't believe it! If Gu Jing has a sister, and her illegitimate daughter can undergo a bone marrow transplant, then Gu Jing's sister can too. She might even be more suitable than Gu Jing. If that's the case, the Gu family will definitely adopt both of them and not just one. Do you know the theory that all eggs can't be put in the same basket? "
"The truth is, the Gu family only adopted Gu Jing, which means only Gu Jing is suitable. If Gu Jing has a sister, then her sister is definitely not suitable."
"The possibility of her sister's child being suitable is even lower."
Then as "Gu Jing's sister's illegitimate daughter," Gu Yanran couldn't be adopted.
After all, Gu Xiangwen wasn't doing charity work or running an orphanage.
But the truth was, other than Gu Jing, Gu Yanran was also adopted. According to Gu Yanran, it should be for the same reason.
So there was only one reason that made sense now.
Gu Yanran was Gu Jing's illegitimate daughter. This way, mother and daughter had the same genes, so they could help two generations of the Gu family's daughters match and undergo a bone marrow transplant.
Gu Nianzhi came to this conclusion purely based on logical reasoning to prove that the so-called "Gu Jing's sister" was a fake character that Gu Yanran made up at the last minute to cover up the loopholes.
Gu Yanran panicked and only wanted to refute, "But Gu Jing died many years ago. She was cremated, and her ashes were thrown into the sea. How are you going to test?"
Gu Nianzhi paused in surprise. "… You know Gu Jing's ashes were thrown into the sea? When did that happen? "
Gu Yanran immediately shut her mouth.
Gu Nianzhi waited for a while. Seeing that Gu Yanran didn't continue, she didn't force her. She said calmly, "Actually, now that Gu Jing's identity is confirmed, it's much easier to investigate. Even if her ashes were thrown into the sea, she grew up in the Gu family. The Gu family was originally a well-to-do family in France, and they had the habit of visiting family doctors and dentists for their children. When we find Gu Jing's dentist and family doctor, what records would we need?"
Blood samples and dental records could all be backed up by family doctors and dentists.
As long as they had these two things, wouldn't a DNA test be a matter of minutes?
Gu Yanran's eyes flashed, and her murderous intent rose.
Gu Nianzhi saw through her thoughts and shook her head. "Enough, Gu Yanran. Don't think about killing everyone who knows your identity. There are so many people in the world, and there are many who know your and Gu Jing's identities. Can you kill them all? "
Gu Yanran looked at Gu Nianzhi like she had been struck by lightning. She hugged her head and shouted, "You're not human! You're not human! You're a ghost! You're a ghost! "
Otherwise, how could he be able to deduce so much about what had happened back then?!
