The Wiretap movie begins with a textbook interrogation. The entire interrogation process was very rigorous, with clear thinking and careful logic. Has the consistent craftsmanship of the Germans. Stasi agent Weisman is both an expert in interrogation and an instructor at the secret police academy.
Below, he will teach you four ways to see through each other's lies:
First, if you can change the posture of the suspect's resistance, you can make the other party open up and tell the truth.
As soon as the suspect took his seat, he put on a resisting posture, giving the interrogator a sense of oppression, trying to deal with the other party.
Agent Stasi then asked the suspect to put his hands under his thighs, palms down.
This gesture is to make the suspect subconsciously give up resistance.
Second, try asking the same things on different occasions and times. If the answer is different, the other person is lying
In order to obtain information, the Stasi agents extended the interrogation time, deprived the suspect of sleep, and kept asking about the situation on September 28.
Agent Weisman believes that an innocent person will be furious, irritable, and scream because of this unfair treatment.
And a real criminal will become quiet, silent, and even cry over time.
In addition, Baidu Encyclopedia mentions that "people who lack sleep will have a reduced ability to think, their alertness and judgment will be weakened." This will make the suspect more obedient, lose their resistance, and get the information they need.
Third, if the suspect answers exactly the same every time, it means he is lying
Agent Weisman said that with each questioning, the truth-teller would change the sentence structure at will, while the liar would just keep repeating the same words.
Because in the tense and depressing environment of the interrogation room, the suspect can only think of the simplest and most direct answer.
Fourth, put pressure on the suspect to force the other party to tell the truth
Actually intimidation. This is for the timid liar, it's of no use at all if the other person is bold.
These are the four ways to see through each other's lies, which can be used alone or in combination.
If you want to become an expert in lying, I recommend you watch Female Drummer. Charlie is the best liar, both in expression and tone.
If you want to learn more about ways to see through lies, I recommend you "My Counterintelligence Career" by Oleister Pinto (Netherlands). The author is an agent with 30 years of counterintelligence experience.
If you want to learn about interrogation methods in other countries, I recommend Cardinals.
