Chapter 57: Attacking the Heart

The next day, Richard was taken into the underground interrogation room.

To his deep surprise, today's interrogation changed to a different mode, not blindly whipped and beaten and scalded with a soldering iron, but had a heart-to-heart conversation with the princess about faith and mission.

This is the "psychological interrogation method", Richard immediately reminded himself.

The princess stared at him for a few minutes, not speaking or laughing, but just sat stiffly.

Richard also sat without saying a word, but after a long time, that gaze made him feel that there were small insects crawling on his body, very itchy, very uncomfortable, like sitting on pins and needles.

The princess smiled slightly, and said with her lips: "Mr. Richard, please talk about your beliefs, I think you believe in God?" ”

"Yes, I believe in God. But I don't believe in God, isn't there a saying that God's calling is not as good as the temptation of the devil, so I still believe in the devil at the same time. Hahahaha. ”

"You have a great sense of humor, hehe, but God teaches people to be honest and not to tell lies, have you ever told lies? God also teaches people to be upright and not to deceive, have you ever deceived people? ”

"I never tell lies, I don't deceive people, I'm just a little kleptomophobia, I can't get rid of a little problem, it's because I'm poor, if I was as rich as you, I definitely wouldn't steal."

The princess was speechless for a moment, unable to remember how to answer.

Richard remembered what his teacher said:

"In scientific interrogation, there is no need to have any conflict with the beliefs of the interrogated, and people with deep beliefs, whether they believe in doctrine or religion, are actually a kind of pathology and are more likely to be played with. A person who believes in empty words is himself a person with a strong tendency to cooperate, and is certainly physically and emotionally unstable, this kind of person is too easy to be toyed with. ”

The teacher also has a key teaching, that is: "The key to counter-interrogation is not to establish contact and communication with the interrogator, as soon as you communicate, you will get angry, when you get angry, you will get tired, and if you get tired, you will lose everything." ”

Richard immediately knew what he was wrong, he was completely following the princess's train of thought just now, asking and answering, entering the other party's thinking mode, and soon he would unknowingly fall for the other party's tricks.

He decided to remain silent from now on.

After coming down, the princess asked a lot of questions, but Richard did not answer, his eyes were withdrawn, and he was indifferent.

The princess is also an extremely intelligent person, and she began to use the "silent interrogation method", that is, her eyes are fixed on the other party, and she does not say a word. The look was grim, fierce, and gloomy.

But if you sit and don't say a word, you will be very tired after a long time. Sometimes it's more tiring than being beaten.

The teacher told him that the human body determines the mind. The strength of the mind also depends on physical strength, and when the body is tired, the mind will surrender. The basis of interrogation and counter-interrogation is the struggle of physical strength, and the key to counter-interrogation is to preserve physical strength. The person being interrogated should refrain from any communication with the interrogator, even on unrelated topics. The sophisticated interrogator will use any topic to provoke disgust, hatred, and anger in the heart of the interrogator, and as long as he is angry, the exhaustion of physical strength is inevitable. After a long period of fatigue bombing, the interrogated person will inevitably fall.

The princess stood up, waved her hand, and the two prisoners came up with their iron fists held high.

The other two prisoners retied Richard to the column, and a new round of "sandbagging" began.

If you stay up until the interrogators start torturing them, it's going to be dawn. Torture is the most useless and most commonly used of all interrogation techniques, because the torturer does not dare to really injure the interrogated person, let alone kill him, because the torturer only wants a confession, not beating someone for fun or blindly venting his anger.

Richard didn't react to the torture at all, just kept repeating his name and rank, as if reciting a scripture, and no matter how the other party beat him, he didn't answer at all. This practice is a good way to conserve physical strength. No matter what others asked, how to fight, he just ignored it, bent over and lowered his head, as if nothing happened. There was not a trace of hatred for the beater in his eyes, and his fists and feet fell on him like rain, and he endured it silently.

His method is mainly to maintain the angle of the spine so that he can dissolve the force of the incoming punch. When he was beaten, his back was always arched, guarding the dantian, and his body kept shaking back and forth. From the moment the fist comes, he will shake from side to side, and when the fist comes from side to side, you will shake back and forth, and you will not wait for a moment to be beaten, and you will be broken as soon as you stop. Keep your neck moving, don't lean up, don't lean down, and don't stiffen.

He remembered the teacher's teachings in his heart: the key to counter-interrogation is not to get angry, and if you get angry, you will be deceived. So he gritted his teeth and endured in silence.

Richard'----s motto is one word: not to speak, not to be angry, not to answer. Everything is for the sole purpose of preserving physical strength.

At present, these popular interrogation methods are still relatively primitive, mainly torturing people, but in fact, the method of dealing with them is also very simple, that is, relax, rely on what you can rely on, squat if you can, and never be a tough guy.

At this time, a prisoner released his rope and wanted to change the method of torture, Richard took the opportunity to struggle, raised his head sharply, and broke his nose, and his nose was broken, and his face was covered with blood, which looked terrible, but in fact did not hurt the vital parts.

As soon as the prisoners saw that the blood was bleeding, they stopped punching and kicking, and someone came up to stop the bleeding, and Richard's purpose was achieved.

Today's trial has to come to an end.

In the evening, Richard lay on a straw mat, reviewing the main points that the teacher had taught:

"For anti-torture and anti-interrogation, the most important point is to have confidence, firmly believe that you can get through, and think more about how to spend all day drinking and being happy after you get through. It's about building enough motivation.

"The key to counter-interrogation is that the interrogated person should avoid any communication with the interrogator, even if it is an unrelated topic, and any sophisticated interrogator will do everything possible to provoke the interrogated person to have psychological fluctuations, such as family, friendship, love, or disgust, hatred, as long as there are emotional fluctuations, physical exertion is inevitable. Consciously close one's senses, don't talk, don't make trouble, don't laugh, don't cry, close your eyes, breathe long, don't take the initiative to speak, and don't answer any questions.

"There are three principles of counter-interrogation: do not answer, do not get angry, and do not speak. It's all about maintaining your physical strength as the only priority. ”

In the next few days, the princess ordered the prisoners to interrogate and torture Richard several times, but to no avail, and she had no idea what the problem was.

The two sides remained at a stalemate, and the interrogation reached an impasse.

On this day, Rodin returned, and he reported on the tracking of Nadasha in the past few days, and naturally there was no news of this woman.

The princess was desperate when she heard this, but there was nothing she could do.

At this time, one of the bodyguards came up with a new way of playing, which was to throw Richard into the pool, not to let him swim, but to let him swim with two sharks. This idea immediately aroused the princess's great interest, and she felt that a "man-shark war" was also a very fun and exciting game.

Of course, the princess agreed.

Richard was held up by several bodyguards and thrown into the pool, and before he could react, two sharks were carried over and thrown into the pool with a "poof".

Richard choked on a few mouthfuls of water, and as soon as he came out, he suddenly saw two sharks with their large mouths full of huge teeth, swimming towards him, and he was so frightened that he quickly swam desperately towards the edge of the pool.

People swim in front, sharks swim in the back, this scene is beautiful.

The shark's animalistic nature was aroused, and as soon as it saw that someone was in the pool and had meat to eat, it swam towards the person.

Richard could only swim desperately, swimming to the edge of the pool, and just wanted to climb up, but the shark was faster, and before his hand could reach the edge of the pool, the shark had already pounced.

Richard dodged the shark's first attack, then swam back to the other side of the pool.

The shark chased behind, Richard fled in front, and the waves in the pool set off a huge surge.

The old man-eating section of the shark pool was re-enacted, which caused a sensation in Hefu. For a while, the servants, drivers and maids in the princess's mansion all gathered around, and everyone was happy to watch the excitement. Rodin also came over when he heard the sound, and was stunned when he saw the horrible "game" in the pool.

He said in his heart that Richard's life was over.

Who came up with this vicious idea, someone has played with it in the past, and the blood of the dead has stained the entire pool, isn't it strictly forbidden? Why did you play again, this shark still doesn't eat people alive?

He had an idea, picked up a harpoon, walked over to the princess and said, "Your Royal Highness, it's not interesting to play like this, it's not interesting to just run away, you should get a harpoon for Richard, so that he can fight back, so that the two sides are evenly matched, and the ornamentation will be higher." ”

The princess felt that Rodin had a point, and shook her head, and Rodin understood, and threw the harpoon to Richard in the pool. Richard got the harpoon and secretly thanked Rodin, it was a friend who gave him a glimmer of life.

Richard glanced at Rodin gratefully, and the two of them exchanged eyes with a sharp eye.

A new water fight began.

This time Richard was no longer passive, he ran away, and at the same time stabbed the shark a few times, and the shark found that the man had a harpoon in his hand, obviously feeling a little scruples, and the two sides confronted each other.

At this time, a woman appeared by the pool, and when people saw her, they all quickly bowed their heads and bent down, standing respectfully.

She was none other than another princess: Elizabeth.

"Yo, what game are you playing? My good sister, why did people fight sharks? ”

Helena, who was sitting under the parasol, stood up, stepped forward and took Elizabeth's hand pretending to be affectionate, and said, "It turns out that my sister is here, and I said that the sun is so enthusiastic today." Why, you didn't accompany the king in the palace to eat fragrant food and drink spicy food, but you came to my poor and sour mansion? ”

"Nonsense, what is the poor and sour house, the king asked me to come to see you, he hasn't seen your golden face for a few days, the king misses you, and said that you will have time to see him."

"Hmph, I don't want to see him, he slapped me that day, his face was swollen, and my anger hasn't subsided." Her face pulled down, and her eyes darkened suddenly.
