Chapter 131 The Second Meeting
Interrogation is psychological warfare, but not just psychological warfare.
Especially in the pre-trial stage, 99% of criminal suspects cannot withstand this stage.
However, not all suspects have weaknesses, so there are only a few people who can survive this section.
Generally speaking, it is easiest for suspects who have not committed capital crimes to confess.
Now that he has been caught, it is the most sensible thing to do to confess and seek leniency and a reduced sentence.
There are also murderers who always feel that they can make things right after they commit a crime, but the reality is that under the hands of experienced pre-examiners, they are made logically incoherent and inconsistent in just a few sentences.
The most difficult thing is that the evidence is insufficient and the other party refuses to speak.
For example, Wu Congwen.
The identification of Wu Congwen was determined based on the fingerprints collected by Lu Chuan at the edge of the water tank in Zhao Dong’s cattle pen.
However, although this fingerprint was collected at five points, it cannot be used as conclusive judicial evidence.
It is very difficult to convict someone with zero confession.
It is necessary to analyze and investigate Wu Congwen's time and space trajectory bit by bit.
It will definitely require a lot of manpower, material and financial resources.
But if Wu Congwen could speak, everything would be simple.
What's more, there must be someone behind Wu Congwen. If he doesn't speak, how can he check the person behind him?
Li Donglin has arranged for people to check mobile phone call records, WeChat chat records, bank transfer records, etc.
But so far, there has been no significant progress.
So, the top priority now is for Wu Congwen to speak.
But the actual situation is that after Wu Congwen was arrested, he said nothing.
Why did you kill Wang Liang’s wife and others?
Where did the gun come from.
Who is the mastermind behind this and so on?
Don’t ask any questions.
Obviously, Wu Congwen knew how many lives he was carrying.
I said, the evidence is conclusive, he died early.
If you don’t say anything, the police will continue to investigate, and maybe your death will be delayed.
This is also the strategy of many felons.
Many criminal facts will never be revealed in one go.
It’s like squeezing out toothpaste, squeeze out a little bit today and a little bit tomorrow.
There are many death row inmates who have been in detention centers for more than ten years.
The reason why the death penalty was not executed immediately was because the case against him has never been clearly explained.
There is always a matter of digging out the radish and bringing out the mud.
Wu Congwen asked to see the policeman who injured him, that is, Lu Chuan. There are many precedents for this.
Many gangsters, during interrogation, designate their captors to interrogate them.
Others will fight to the end without saying anything.
His captors came and explained everything while chatting.
Ten minutes later.
Lu Chuan arrived at Li Donglin’s temporary office on the first floor.
"Li Chuhao."
"Sit down, sit down."
Seeing Lu Chuan come in, Li Donglin smiled with a friendly expression on his face.
Li Donglin is actually not very old, and his hair is often taken care of meticulously, plus he wears a straight police uniform. It is no problem to describe him as a mighty and handsome uncle.
But the premise is... you can't laugh.
Li Donglin has the kind of appearance that is pleasing to the eye when he is serious, but a bit charming when he smiles.
Of course, Li Donglin didn't laugh often, and Lu Chuan had been in contact with Li Donglin for a month or two.
This is the second time I have seen each other smile.
The first time was at the celebration banquet after Chen Gang, Wang Liang and others were arrested and the case was solved.
Lu Chuan sat half-assed on the sofa, his waist straight.
"Have Captain Qin told you?"
Before meeting Li Donglin, Qin Yong had already told Lu Chuan about the interrogation of Wu Congwen.
Lu Chuan nodded: "Yes, everything has been explained."
"Okay, the other party asked to see you just because you caught him." Li Donglin stood up and poured water for Lu Chuan himself. After hot tea, Lu Chuan stood up and thanked: "You don't need to be nervous."
"I have seen many such suspects."
Li Donglin obviously wanted to give Lu Chuan some mental training before he met the suspect.
This is not only a kind of protection for Lu Chuan, but also a prescribed process.
Why the interrogation of suspects must have a process and the entire process must be videotaped.
Not only to protect the human rights of suspects and prevent the use of illegal means during interrogation.
The other aspect is actually to protect the police responsible for interrogation.
In the criminal investigation detachment, there are special pre-trial criminal police officers. Of course, this specialization does not mean that they will intervene in the trial.
But there are only a few people in charge of interrogation.
Both are from the action team. Wang Shuai from the first team and Zhang Hui from the second team are qualified to interrogate suspects.
People like Lu Chuan, Liu Guodong and others will generally not interact with the suspects after they are arrested, let alone meet the suspects.
Because they can do anything.
Such as threats.
What do police officers who have not received special training think when they hear threats made by people who have not been sentenced to death?
Police officers are human beings too, with wives, children and parents.
No matter whether the other party's threat is true or not, whether he has the ability or courage to realize it, just say that if anyone listens to it, will he always think about it?
Threats against a suspect who has committed the death penalty are useless because he cannot come out.
But it's okay to curse you a few times.
Will most people feel psychological pressure after hearing this?
Interrogation is different from questioning.
Interrogation is confronting guilt.
Inquiry is the discovery of sin.
Li Donglin was not in a hurry and chatted with Lu Chuan slowly.
“Most of these extremely vicious people think they have a sense of chivalry, and they will take care of themselves if something happens, and would rather die than explain the person behind it.”
“I want to see who it is. He caught himself and said some cruel words, saying that you would definitely not be able to catch me if you do it again."
"Wu Congwen has never read a book, but he has been fighting since he was a child, and he has been messing around in society since he dropped out of school. After a few years, he had the energy of a violent gangster. "His wife and children were sent abroad by him early, and his parents died long ago."
"This kind of person thinks he has nothing to worry about and nothing can threaten him."
"He also understands that he has committed a capital crime, and he must have more than these four lives."
"Related I have already arranged for people to investigate his whereabouts. It just takes a little longer."
"Don't worry about the criminal evidence."
"Xiao Lu, mine. It means...if you don’t want to see him, you don’t have to see him. Do you understand what I mean?”
Obviously, between protecting Lu Chuan and spending resources investigating Wu Congwen, Li Donglin could choose the latter.
In his opinion, Lu Chuan was obviously much more valuable than Wu Congwen.
I would rather delay the case than Lu Chuan would have no problems.
However, Lu Chuan obviously didn't think so: "Thank you, Li Chu, for taking care of me."
"But since the other party wants to see me, let's meet him. I can catch him once in the alley, haha, With his shooting skills, he will definitely be caught a second time!”
This is the inner advantage. If you succeed once, why can't you succeed the second time?
If Wang Shuai hadn't blocked Lu Chuan's gun at that time, it's uncertain whether Wu Congwen would have had the chance to shoot.
Elementary field shooting skills are not vegetarian.
"Haha! Okay!"
Li Donglin clapped his hands and applauded: "That's right, you are a soldier and he is a thief, what are you afraid of?!"
"Let's go meet this Wu Congwen!"
Interrogation room.
Wu Congwen’s left leg was fractured and had been put in a plaster. The gauze on his left wrist was also hung around his neck.
This guy is indeed left-handed.
The two intact hands and feet were shackled to the interrogation chair.
Lu Chuan, a policeman in solemn uniform, sat opposite Wu Congwen.
Wu Congwen, who had been indifferent during the interrogation, suddenly raised his head and stared at Lu Chuan with his eyes like an eagle.
Looking at the other party's shining eyes and fierce expression, Lu Chuan remained unmoved.
Tigers are also very powerful, but they can also eat chickens when locked in a cage.
“You...want to see me?”
