Today, Director Cai shares with you a vivid case about how the case-handling personnel of the discipline inspection and supervision organs skillfully used psychological strategies to gradually break down the psychological defense line of the suspects involved in the case.
In the retention room, public official Chen was suspected of ** for using his power to seek personal gain. He served as a pre-interrogator for seven years, but when faced with interrogation, he chose to remain silent, not even giving his interrogator a glance.
Hours of confrontation yielded nothing.
At this time, Director Zhang of the Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision decided to personally intervene in this psychological showdown. Faced with Director Zhang's arrival, Chen adjusted his sitting posture and showed a trace of respect.
Director Zhang gently poured a cup of tea for Chen, gently handed it to him, and asked, "How is it?"This bland question seemed to put the burden of decision-making on Chen, and let him figure it out for himself.
Chen finally broke the silence: "Cooperate!."The shift seemed to suggest that he wanted to show some kind of cooperation in front of the new face.
Since you are willing to cooperate, it would be great. Director Zhang skillfully took advantage of the trend.
Although Chen opened his mouth, he still avoided talking about substantive issues.
Director Zhang then sarcastically said: "I heard that you are a senior investigator, but I think your strength seems to be mediocre. Others say that I am the director, and you don't even ask for the documents to be checked, so you are gullible, which shows that your awareness of evidence is too poor!These words show that Chen's criminal behavior has left evidence.
Chen was slightly stunned and looked up at the interrogator. Seeing this, Director Zhang began to objectively analyze Chen's situation from multiple angles, and Chen listened silently with a focused expression. (His resistance began to waver.) ）
Director Zhang continued: "We brought you at two or three o'clock in the morning, what does this mean?"(Implication: How can a person like you be placed in custody without conclusive evidence?)）
Chen's gaze swept over the interrogator, and he suddenly asked, "Can I ask you a question?"”
Please speak. "I was brought here, does the leadership of our unit know?”
He was weighing whether to give it all or choose to hide it partially.
Director Zhang encouraged: "Don't hesitate anymore, confess and be lenient." ”
Chen sighed: "Let me think about it." ”
We're all engaged in reconnaissance, and I've seen through your little bit of caution. ”
Finally, Chen chose to give in: "Okay, I'll say it all." Considering the affection between our peers, can you help me?”
The way of interrogation is to attack the heart.
How to break down the offensive and defensive alliance, you can try these working methods.
For example, for people with a high level of knowledge, the doctrine of justice can be taughtPeople who are righteous in the rivers and lakes can be persuaded by the logic of the rivers and lakes. The premise is that it should be done in a way that is acceptable to the other party.
Another example is that people's thinking will be fixed at certain stages and circumstances, which is called "attachment" in Buddhism, and "admitting death" as the saying goes. Suspects tend to be in this state of mind, and once the interrogation is deadlocked, relevant examples can be presented, such as surrendering to receive a mitigated punishment, and recalcitrant resistance is subject to increased punishment, which generally has good results. It is necessary to be cautious when choosing a case, and it is best to choose a case that the suspect is familiar with, or supported by a verdict, to avoid being misinterpreted as an inducement.
From refusal to confess to confession to retraction of confession, this phenomenon is not uncommon in the review of cases of job-related crimes. Coping strategies include comprehensively analyzing the reasons for retracting confessions, using powerful psychological offensives, using relevant personnel to persuade suspects, cutting off information sources, dispersing opponents, looking for contradictions in retracting confessions, and using conclusive evidence to retract confessions.
Interrogation is not only about the use of skills, but also about acting on the basis of opportunity and flexibility. Interrogation is not rigid, but as you accumulate experience and refine it, the more skilled you become, the more likely you are to win the next battle.
