Chapter 1880: Chapter 1880: the CAUSE OF DEATH -LRB-first request for a recommendation ticket)
The two lawyers stood in the middle of the courtroom, both facing the direction of the gallery.
Gu Nianzhi simply held up the comic and walked around the gallery. After showing it to everyone in close proximity, she walked back to the middle of the courtroom.
Lu Anpeng was somewhat disdainful of Gu Nianzhi’s sensationalism, but he did not show it.
Lu Anpeng waited for Gu Nianzhi to stand still before he said, “Barrister Gu, are you sure that the murder of Qin Suwen started when she was eight years old and only ended on the day she died?”
Gu Nianzhi nodded. “That’s right.”
Lu Anpeng chuckled. “That’s good. This proves that my client, Qin Yaoguang, was not the murderer of Qin Suwen at all.”
He turned to face the judge, he said loudly, “When Qin Suwen was eight years old, Qin Yaoguang was only nine years old. If the murder really started at that time, then it has nothing to do with my client, Qin Yaoguang. “I request the court to declare the case invalid again and not pursue my client’s responsibility and trouble.”
Gu Nianzhi raised her hand and tapped Lu Anpeng’s shoulder again. She said crisply, “Barrister Lu, who says that a nine-year-old can not partic.i.p.ate in murder? Aren’t you being too prejudiced by saying that?”
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 partic.i.p.ate in murder, according to our criminal law, minors under the age of 14 do not have to bear any criminal responsibility no matter what crimes they commit. “So, your honor, can this case be dismissed?”
Gu Nianzhi smiled. “Barrister Lu has always wanted to dismiss this case, but unfortunately, the facts are not satisfactory.”
Before the judge could make his judgment, Gu Nianzhi had already said quickly, “Your honor, a person under the age of 14 does not have to bear criminal responsibility for committing a crime, but what about when they reach adulthood?”
She took a step forward, she almost forced the question onto Lu Anpeng’s face. “Barrister Lu, Don’t forget, I just said that this murder took more than 30 years. Qin Yaoguang is already an adult. Do you think she can’t bear legal responsibility?”? ! — who made the law ? You?”
Lu Anpeng frowned and took a step back, he said unhappily, “Barrister Gu, are you saying that my client started planning the murder when she was nine years old and only succeeded after more than 30 years? Don’t you think that’s ridiculous?”
Gu Nianzhi shook her head and smiled. “I don’t think so.”
She praised Lu Anpeng again. “As expected of a barrister, to be able to see the truth of this case at a glance!”
Lu Anpeng chuckled. “Barrister Gu, I didn’t mean that. From the beginning to the end, I don’t think my client had anything to do with the death of Barrister Qin Suwen!”
“Really?”Gu Nianzhi waved the dark comic that she had s.n.a.t.c.hed from Lu Anpeng in front of him. “But look, how do you explain this?”
Lu Anpeng took another step back, pursing his lips and not saying another word.
Gu Nianzhi turned to face the people in the gallery and the cameras by the wall, she calmly said, “I just proved that Qin Yaoguang had the motive to murder Qin Suwen. Now, we’re talking about how Qin Yaoguang murdered Qin Suwen. In other words, how she killed Qin Suwen.”
Gu Nianzhi paused for a moment, then walked back to her plaintiff’s seat. She opened her laptop and connected it directly to the courtroom projector. She projected a forensic report and a doctor’s diagnosis report onto the white projection screen.
The court technicians immediately dimmed the lights in the courtroom, but it did not completely darken like before.
Everyone’s attention was drawn to the two reports on the white projection screen.
Gu Nianzhi pointed at the medical examiner’s report and said, “It says here that Qin Suwen’s sudden death was caused by a heart condition.”
“The doctor’s diagnosis next to the report was made when Qin Suwen was young and proved that she had a congenital heart disease.”
“According to the information I found, congenital heart disease is related to heredity and is determined by genes.”
“People who have congenital heart disease will have heredity in their families.”
Gu Nianzhi said as she clicked the mouse again and switched to the other two medical reports and doctor’s certificates.
“I have two more pieces of evidence here. They were provided by Qin Zhiyuan and Qin zhining, the two nephews of Qin Suwen.”
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.
He represented Qin Yaoguang and had a thorough understanding of the people and things related to Qin Suwen. Of course, he had also investigated Qin Suwen’s relatives.
“Everyone, please take a look. In these two newly made diagnoses, 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 the genes in this area. Then may I ask, where did Qin Suwen’s congenital heart disease come from?”
Gu Nianzhi put her hands behind her back and walked up to Qin Yaoguang. She looked at her with a smile, she said, “May I ask, Ms. Qin Yaoguang, as a scientist in the field of biological genetics and medicine, can you explain to us why Qin Zhiyuan and Qin zhining do not have the genes to do with congenital heart disease?”
Perhaps it was because Lu Anpeng had always had the upper hand, but Qin Yaoguang was not impatient. She maintained her composure and did not immediately answer Gu Nianzhi’s question. Instead, she looked at her own defense lawyer, Lu Anpeng.
Lu Anpeng walked over, reached out, and lightly tapped the dock twice, he said to Gu nianzhi, “Lawyer Gu, I don’t need my client to answer this question. I’ve already hired an expert witness. He’s a world-renowned heart surgeon and has absolute authority in congenital heart disease. He can answer your question.”
“Oh?”Gu Nianzhi pretended to be confident. 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 list of witnesses had been submitted to the court a long time ago, and all the procedures had been completed.
Therefore, the judge quickly agreed to his application and had someone bring in the expert witness who was waiting in the next room.
The expert witness who followed the bailiff in was a middle-aged man who was about the same age as Lu Anpeng. He was very tall and looked very strong and fit. At a glance, one could tell that he was the kind of person who often exercised.
He wore a light gray thin wool suit and a silver gray striped tie. He stood on the witness stand and read the witness oath with the bailiff before sitting down.
After the judge verified his ident.i.ty, he said, “Doctor Cen, the prosecution has a question about congenital heart disease. I hope you can answer it from an academic point of view.”
Doctor Cen nodded. “Your honor, I will do my best to answer the prosecution’s question.”
Gu Nianzhi smiled and nodded at him. She repeated her question.
Lu Anpeng also introduced the background of the question. “The prosecution’s lawyer just said that congenital heart disease is determined by genes, that is, heredity.”
“Therefore, she started with Qin Suwen’s family to prove that her family did not have the genetic inheritance of congenital heart disease, and thus proved that Qin Suwen did not have congenital heart disease. Then, the cause of her death is worth discussing.”
Gu Nianzhi nodded and almost applauded him. “Great lawyer Lu, you’ve summed it up well! That’s what I meant!”
Lu Anpeng:”…”
He seemed to feel that something was wrong, but his logic and common sense were impeccable.
Doctor Cen took out a doc.u.ment from his briefcase with a serious expression and retorted, “The premise of what the prosecution’s lawyer just said about congenital heart disease is wrong.”
“This is an authoritative article on congenital heart disease in medicine. It proves that there are many causes of congenital heart disease, and genes, which are also genetic factors, actually account for only 8% of the incidence of congenital heart disease.”
“And 92% of congenital heart disease is caused by environmental factors. It is especially affected during the critical period of fetal heart development, which can also cause the fetus to suffer from congenital heart disease.”
Gu Nianzhi put on a surprised expression and interjected, “No way! External influences can cause congenital heart disease in the fetus? ! Doctor Cen, what are the external influences? Can you tell us?”
Doctor Cen said very professionally, “The early period of fetal heart development is very critical. If the mother takes inappropriate drugs at this time, or is infected with a virus, or is exposed to environmental pollution, radiation, and other conditions, it will seriously affect the fetal heart development and greatly increase the probability of the fetus suffering from congenital heart disease.”
Gu nianzhi exclaimed very professionally, “The virus? ! The virus infection will also cause the fetus to suffer from congenital heart disease ? ! — this completely overturns my understanding of congenital heart disease? I thought it was caused by genes, which is also genetic…”
Doctor Cen smiled gently, “No, your understanding is wrong. “Most congenital heart diseases have 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, the fetus has a 90% chance of suffering from congenital heart disease.”
Lu Anpeng interrupted at this time, “Our expert witness has already confirmed that most congenital heart diseases have nothing to do with heredity. So even if lawyer Gu proves that Qin Zhiyuan and Qin zhining brothers don’t have the heredity of congenital heart disease, it still can’t prove that Qin Suwen doesn’t have congenital heart disease.”
“If that’s the case, then the sudden death of Qin Suwen was caused by a congenital heart attack — and it has nothing to do with my client, Ms. Qin Yaoguang.”
Gu Nianzhi glanced at him with a smile, but did not continue his sentence. Instead, she continued to question the expert witness.
“So 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, causing the fetus to become ill, is that right?”
Doctor Cen nodded. “It’s like this. The fetus must be infected with the virus before it can become sick.”
Gu nianzhi immediately asked, “That means that the virus is what makes a person sick. It has nothing to do with how it’s transmitted.”
“As long as the human body is infected by the virus, whether it’s acquired in the mother or after birth, it will become sick, right?”
Doctor Cen hesitated for a moment, but still nodded. “Theoretically, yes.”
Gu nianzhi immediately asked, “Then if someone injected the virus directly into a person, would it cause the same congenital heart disease symptoms in that person?”
Lu Anpeng’s face instantly darkened.
He finally understood where Gu Nianzhi was going to start!
