A pair of twins, there are two fathers?
Looking at the appraisal results in front of him, Deng Yajun didn't know how to explain to his family for a while.
However, such unthinkable things are common here.
Because Deng Yajun's profession is DNA identification.
A wife has a child with her father-in-law, a father and daughter have a child by incest, and a husband adopts an illegitimate child, and all kinds of ethical dramas emerge one after another.
After witnessing too many betrayals and lies, Deng Yajun even admitted that he believes in desire more than love.
After all, stories can be made up, but DNA doesn't lie.
So, what has Deng Yajun experienced as a DNA examiner?

Half-twins
"At least one is yours."
After the paternity test results came out, Deng Yajun said helplessly to the child's father.
It turned out that a few days ago, a couple brought a dragon and phoenix fetus to do a paternity test, and Deng Yajun also conducted a DNA test step by step.
But when she got the final appraisal report, the result made her unbelievable-
The daughter is born to the father, while the son is not related to the father by any blood.
This means that in a very short period of time, the mother had been intimate with two different men.
Deng Yajun was extremely surprised by the chance of this happening, this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime bizarre case.
When Deng Yajun truthfully informed the couple of the test results, the husband could not accept this fact at all, but the wife was surprised and cried and swore that she had never cheated on her husband.
After some explanation, Deng Yajun finally figured out what happened.
It turned out that not long after the newlywed, the wife went out due to a quarrel with her husband, and was abused by lawbreakers in a remote place.
The wife was frightened at the time, and she was worried about affecting her marriage and life, so she buried everything deep in her heart and silently returned home.
Unexpectedly, this nightmarish encounter eventually led to such an unbelievable result.
After learning the truth, Deng Yajun was deeply sympathetic.
Although she can't avoid the cruel truth, she still tries to comfort the couple that they can tolerate each other and run the family well.
However, here, things like this have long been accustomed to Deng Yajun, and even more unbelievable things have happened.
My child is my husband's younger brother
In Deng Yajun's paternity testing practice, he once encountered an incredible case.
A couple with their children comes in for identification, and the results reveal a jaw-dropping secret.
The biological father of the child is actually the father of the wife's husband, that is, the grandfather of the child.
This discovery is undoubtedly a severe test of Deng Yajun's professionalism.
When she informed the couple of the shocking news, her husband's expression froze instantly, and anger and confusion were intertwined.
The wife, on the other hand, was relieved that the facts she had been suspected in her heart had been confirmed.
With his wife's narration, Deng Yajun learned about this painful past.
Because the woman's husband has been working outside the home for many years, and during this period, the father-in-law showed inappropriate closeness to his daughter-in-law.
On an unfortunate night, the father-in-law, driven by alcohol and loneliness, commits an unforgivable crime against his daughter-in-law.
Despite the woman's best efforts, she was powerless to change the outcome.
What she didn't expect was that after that time, she was pregnant, and she knew the impact that the mystery of the child's life experience might bring.
However, for the sake of the family's superficial harmony, she chose to bury this secret in her heart.
When the child is born, this hidden truth hangs over their heads like a ticking time bomb.
Now that the truth has been revealed nakedly, it is very difficult for the husband to accept, on one side is his wife, on the other hand is his father, no matter how he chooses, it will be the whole family who will be hurt in the end.
After thinking about it, he chose to forgive his wife, but this incident will become an eternal thorn in the coffin between husband and wife.
However, Deng Yajun is used to seeing such results, because she has seen too many such things.
It's just that some will lead to the breakdown of the whole family, while others choose to accept it and carefully continue to maintain this precarious relationship.
Deng Yajun deeply feels that paternity testing is not only a scientific verification, but also a consideration of human nature.
Refusing to issue a fake certificate was scolded ruthlessly
As early as 2003, not long after Deng Yajun entered the DNA testing industry, a woman came to do a paternity test.
The female client explained in advance that she was pregnant with her husband shortly after they got married, but she was not sure whether the biological father of the child was her husband or ex-boyfriend.
Out of luck, she still gave birth to this child.
But as the child grew up, the husband found that the child did not look like him, so he wanted to do a paternity test to confirm the relationship.
The female client knew that the truth might hurt her marriage, so she took the child and her ex-boyfriend for a paternity test before her husband did it.
The results showed that the child's biological father was indeed her ex-boyfriend, not her husband.
Faced with this fact, the female client begged Deng Yajun to issue a false support report to cover up the truth when she and her husband took a paternity test next week.
As a professional DNA appraiser, Deng Yajun refused the request.
The woman's husband knew that the child was not his biological flesh and blood, and the relationship between husband and wife was in jeopardy.
The woman came to the door angrily, accusing Deng Yajun of "ruining her family" and "a hard-hearted woman".
In the face of abuse, although Deng Yajun felt a little guilty, she realized that it was not her fault, and the truth would be discovered sooner or later.
As an appraiser, her role is to present scientific evidence objectively and help people recognize the truth, even if it is sometimes brutal, such as in the case that follows.
The imprisoned father is not biological
In May 2007, Xiao He, a 6-year-old boy, was taken by his uncle to a police station on the outskirts of Beijing, where his father was serving his sentence.
However, Xiao He's mother left the child when she was a few months old, and he and Xiao He's mother did not get a marriage certificate, so Xiao He could not go to school without a hukou.
And this time the police are here to help Xiao He solve the hukou problem.
In order to register Xiaohe, the local police took the child to Deng Yajun for a paternity test.
But the final appraisal results made Deng Yajun very worried, and she even hoped that the results were wrong.
It turned out that Xiao He had no blood relationship with the father who was serving a prison sentence.
For the first time, Deng Yajun had the idea of "hoping that he did something wrong".
A 6-year-old child, his mother has long been abandoned, and his father is a stranger, which is too cruel for Xiao He!
But she had to tell the truth, but what Xiao He would do in the future became a question.
In fact, Deng Yajun has seen too many things like this.
Deng Yajun has been engaged in paternity testing for more than 10 years, and has handled more than 20,000 cases, and behind each story there is a joys and sorrows that outsiders can't know.
But Deng's contribution is not just in the field of paternity testing.
Strive for the higher
Deng Yajun was originally a female forensic doctor in the criminal police team of the Baqiao Branch of Xi'an City.
But it didn't take long for Deng Yajun to realize that in order to make achievements in the field of forensics, a bachelor's degree alone is not enough.
She went on to pursue a master's degree in forensic science.
In 2000, the BGI Center in Beijing undertook the important task of mapping the human genome, and Deng Yajun joined this national project by chance.
In this way, Deng Yajun devoted himself to learning in gene sequencing and analysis.
A few years later, with the opening of the country's judicial appraisal business, paternity testing came into being.
Deng Yajun became the person in charge of BGI Fangrui Identification Center and devoted himself to the work of paternity testing.
Later, Deng Yajun also established the Zhongzheng Forensic Appraisal Institute.
Initially, paternity testing was expensive and was questioned by many people.
But the wise Deng Yajun boldly reduced the price to half of the original price through price reduction marketing.
Sure enough, the huge demand for paternity testing quickly became apparent, and business gradually improved, and she also accumulated a lot of valuable experience from it.
In 2003, a sudden SARS outbreak struck China and quickly spread around the world, causing global panic.
And Deng Yajun did not hesitate to join the battle against it.
Her BGI Center has taken on the task of overcoming this mysterious virus – deciphering the genetic sequence of the SARS virus.
One can imagine how dangerous it is to fight against the raging virus.
But Deng Yajun did not flinch, but personally participated in the work of virus gene sequencing.
After several months of shifts and overtime, they finally found a breakthrough in the fog of the virus's genetic sequence.
What is even more admirable is that at that time, the Indian Ocean tsunami hit Southeast Asia, and the victims of many countries could not be identified.
Deng Yajun stepped forward again and led the team to the disaster area, using DNA technology to help identify people.
In the past few months, she and her teammates have worked in harsh conditions to help thousands of families confirm the whereabouts of their loved ones.
Deng Yajun explained the responsibility and responsibility of a genetic scientist with practical actions.
It is this scientific spirit and humanistic feelings that have won her the admiration of the people of the whole country.
As an appraiser, she knows that unraveling the mystery of blood is often accompanied by family pain, but she also understands that she should uphold an objective and rational attitude to inform the results, so as to be worthy of this profession.
