Chapter 2182 The Magic of Language

After detaining the two in two different rooms, Fang Zheng did not go to the interrogation for the first time. On the contrary, he found the old lady and asked her about the situation and accommodation records of the two people. Brought Xiao Lan to the front of the room.

"Well, Mira, you go and wait for me outside that room."

"understand."

Mila nodded and ran to the door of another room where the prisoner was being held with a smile, while Xiao Lan watched her leave and suddenly realized.

"Mr. Fang Zheng, you are planning to use that trick!"

"Which trick?"

"That's it. Make the two prisoners suspicion each other, and both suspect that the other party first confessed..."

"You said the prisoner's dilemma."

Fang Zheng thought for a while and nodded.

"It's true that the prisoner's dilemma works well in certain situations, but it doesn't apply to this situation."

"is it?"

Xiaolan was somewhat surprised when she heard Fang Zheng's answer.

"Yes, we all know that these two people reacted abnormally, indicating that they must have some kind of connection with the victim, but they certainly did not kill, and because of this, they don't need to care whether the other party will confess any secrets. On the contrary, If you go in, use this trick to deceive them, but as long as you are not stupid, you can understand that you are fooling people."

"This, that's it..."

"Come with me and let you see what the police interrogate prisoners."

Fang Zheng made a gesture to Xiaolan, then opened the door and walked into the room.

The one who was locked in this room was the short fat man among the two. He was chained to the chair at the moment, obviously very uncomfortable. Seeing Fang Zheng and Xiaolan walking in, the short fat man also showed an unhappy expression on his face.

"I said, what are you doing here, be careful I sue you!"

"It's only natural that the current criminals are tortured. Okay, please wait a moment."

Fang Zheng moved the table and placed it in front of him, then took two chairs by himself, one in front of Xiaolan, and the other sitting down by himself, then he took out the camera and blank video tape he had obtained from the deceased, and placed it Opened on the desktop. Seeing this scene, the short fat man couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

"You, what are you doing?"

"trial."

Fang Zheng nodded the table, motioned Xiaolan to sit down, then smiled and looked at the short fat man.

"You haven't gone through the interrogation yet, so let me tell you that this is a formal process. This lady will be responsible for taking notes here—that is, recording what you and me say, while the camera will The whole process of the interrogation will be filmed so that when the court comes, there will be enough evidence to prove the prosecutor’s proposal...Do you understand?"

"Don't scare people! What court! I won't eat this set!"

Although Humpty Dumpty was also yelling now, his expression when looking at the camera had obviously become a lot more nervous, and Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders and didn't mean to argue with him. He just fiddled with the camera and then pressed the start button.

"Okay, so... Let's start, first of all, your name, gender, occupation, and age."

Humpty Dumpty was obviously unwilling to answer, but the documents at Fang Zheng's hand made him a little nervous, so in the end he hesitated and answered Fang Zheng's question with grumbling, and Xiao Lan also seriously took down the other party's answer. .

"Then my next question is, why do you break into someone else's room and steal?"

"I didn't say anything, we are just looking for evidence of that woman's murder!"

"really interesting."

Although Humpty Dumpty's answer was stiff, Fang Zheng's expression was still smiling.

"You are not a policeman, and you do not have the relevant qualifications. You went to someone else’s room to look through the box... To be honest, I don’t think your reason will be recognized in court. Of course, if I were to say If you are not looking for evidence, you are going to destroy it."

"You, what are you talking about!!"

Hearing this, Humpty Dumpty roared suddenly.

"Why are we doing this? Do you suspect that we killed that person?"

"It's not that there is no such possibility, is it?"

Fang Zheng was still smiling, as if he hadn't been affected by the other party at all.

"You also looked at the photos. Judging from the last photo with dripping blood, the time of death of the deceased should be in the daytime before it snowed..."

"Yes, I just arrived at the hotel at that time!"

"So do you have an alibi?"

"……………Hey?"

"According to the testimony of the hotel owner..."

Fang Zheng flipped through his notebook.

"She said that after you came to the hotel, you took a short break and went hunting in the forest. And just after that, Mr. Ergaki also left in order to shoot the Snow Girl, so it is very likely that you and your friend killed him in partnership. Mr. Ergaki..."

"Nonsense!!!"

At this time, Humpty Dumpty finally couldn't sit still, and shouted.

"I was hunting at that time, and I didn't kill people at all. Besides, chocolate, by the way, what about the piece of chocolate next to the corpse? When you made chocolate, I went to the forest. Never came back! Since the piece of chocolate was placed next to the deceased, it must have been placed by the murderer. How can we do it?"

"Oh, this..."

"Yeah, how do you explain?"

Hearing this, Xiao Lan also raised her head curiously and looked at Fang Zheng. In fact, she was puzzled by this question, but Fang Zheng's answer was even more surprising.

"I don't need to explain."

"……………Aha?"

"The chocolate appeared next to the corpse, and whether it is related to the murderer, there is no direct evidence to prove this."

Fang smiled and spread his hands.

"Mr. Eryuan didn't die from poisoning, but from a brain blow. Unless you think the piece of chocolate can be hard enough to kill someone, that's another matter."

"…………………"

Is this also OK?

Xiao Lan and Humpty Dumpty looked at Fang Zheng dumbfounded, not knowing what to say for a while.

"Yes, but that piece of chocolate was indeed made by you at the time! Since it was placed next to the corpse, it means that someone must have found the corpse! Since that person discovered the corpse, why didn't you tell you? Murderer?!"

Humpty Dumpty is also incoherent now, and Fang Zheng shrugs his shoulders.

"Indeed, what you said makes sense."

"So..."

"But there is no evidence to prove your inference. This gentleman, you have to know that in court, we look at evidence, not just reasoning. Otherwise, our Metropolitan Police Department has no need to exist, and we will change everything. Be a detective. Indeed, it is strange that the piece of chocolate appears next to the deceased, but there is no evidence that this piece of chocolate is directly related to the death of the deceased... So this question, we won’t find the answer in the future. Late. Now, let's get back to the topic."

Fang Zheng interlaced his fingers, leaning on the back of the chair.

"Okay, let's get back to the topic. Please answer my question. Since you are not for the purpose of stealing, then you go to Mr. Ergaki's room to look through his and girlfriend's boxes. What are you doing? What are you looking for?"

"……………………"

Humpty Dumpty sweated profusely, his eyes fixed on the ground.

"I, we really just passed by and took a look. We didn't find anything..."

"Since you refuse to say, then I have to make a reasonable conjecture, that is, Mr. Ergaki has some evidence against you, so you want to get it back, but Mr. Ergaki refuses to give it. Maybe it is both of you. There was no agreement, maybe for some reason, so you killed him, and then came to look for what you were worried about."

"It's all nonsense, we didn't kill anyone!"

Humpty Dumpty shouted again, and Fang Zheng chuckled.

"So I'm asking you, why are you looking through the suitcases of Mr. Ergaki and his girlfriend? If you don't give me a reasonable answer, then I have to go to court to explain to the judge. At least, from your actions. Look, my inference has a certain degree of credibility, and unless you can find a perfect reason for your inexplicable behavior, otherwise, I think the death of the two and Mr. Ergaki should be inseparable."

Having said this, Fang Zheng stood up.

"We are going to make a transcript for another person. You can take advantage of this time to think about it. Okay, Xiaolan, let's go."

"Ah, uh..."

Xiao Lan was obviously startled, but she nodded obediently, then put away the transcript and followed Fang Zheng to leave the room.

"Mr. Fang Zheng, is this also okay?"

Coming to the corridor, Xiao Lan also asked in confusion, while Fang Zheng nodded.

"Of course, interrogation is also an art. You have been with Kogoro Moori and Shinichi Kudo for too long. In fact, their detectives are not formal. They are only detectives and have no law enforcement powers unless the police ask them for assistance. Otherwise, they have no right to interrogate the prisoner. But in fact, many times they directly confront the prisoner, and the clues obtained are no less than the detectives searched——have you not found it? When the short fat man answered my question just now, he He only said that he didn't kill. Another meaning of this sentence is that he admitted that he was looking for something."

"So so..."

Hearing this, UU read www.uukanshu. Com Xiaolan also suddenly realized that, indeed, when she usually followed Kudo Shinichi to solve the case, she often encountered the situation where the prisoner kept silent, and Shinichi was always able to use evidence to get the other party to talk. Now it seems that it is because if there is no evidence, Kudo Shinichi has no right to let the prisoner speak...

Strictly speaking, even if there is evidence, it is useless. Detectives do not have the power to enforce the law. If the evidence he searches is not recognized by the police, it will be useless in court.

"Well, now we have half of the clues, and then the other half."

"half?"

"Yes, now we know that they are looking for something in Mr. Ergaki's room, but we don't know what it is, this is the other half..."

Having said this, Fang Zheng walked forward.

"And we are about to get the answer from another person."
