Chapter 149: Civilized Interrogation
(Thank you, my friend Red Devil's two monthly passes~~)
Not long after, James was arrested and taken back to the police station, and Kelly got out of the car and said, "Send James to the interrogation room, and I will interrogate him immediately!"
"Wait!" Mu Qingcheng stopped: "Don't rush to interrogate him first, lock him up for a few hours." ”
"Uh, what?"
Not only did Kelly stop, but the surrounding policemen all looked at Mu Qingcheng.
Mu Qingcheng said: "According to my experience, as soon as he is arrested and interrogated, the prisoner's rejection psychology will be very strong, and there will also be a ruthless confrontation, and the ability to resist torture will be doubled, but it is different to be locked up alone for a period of time, because of the quietness, loneliness, fear, anxiety and many other emotions will be overflowing, suspicion and thinking, and gradually softening his will, let him stay alone for a while, don't turn on the lights!"
"You know a lot, and based on your experience, what experience do you have?" Kelly squinted.
Can Mu Qingcheng say that he entered the police station when he was a child? At that time, he was locked in the office alone for most of the night, and his despair was almost indescribable.
He just said lightly, "This is very common criminal psychology, Officer Kelly, I doubt your professionalism. ”
"Humph!" Kelly snorted coldly: "Handcuff to the chair, don't turn on the light!"
"Great!"
Several police officers pushed James into the interrogation room.
Kelly asked again, "What about now, why wait?"
Mu Qingcheng smiled slightly: "Naturally, it's a meal, today I'll treat you and call for takeout to eat in the bureau!" After speaking, he took out his mobile phone and dialed the nearby Chinese restaurant, picking up big fish and meat, a total of dozens of dishes.
After a while, food was delivered, and the policemen gathered around the conference room to eat and drink, and then Mu Qingcheng was shocked to find that he had ordered less!
The amount of food of the police is really amazing, such as crystal elbows, normal people will feel tired of holding a few chopsticks, but one plate per person is standard for the police.
After all, the police's usual food is a Big Mac burger with seven or eight layers of meat!
Mu Qingcheng could only keep ordering and turned the dinner into a flowing water banquet, of course, the American police also have a ban on alcohol, so he didn't drink alcohol, as long as he had some champagne, this thing was not alcohol.
Dozens of policemen ate more than a hundred dishes, everyone was full, Kelly sighed helplessly, and said: "Those who participated in the operation, go home now, keep your mouth shut, and gather at the police station on time at six o'clock tomorrow morning, you know?"
A total of ten police officers participated in the arrest of Thompson, who had the best driving skills, endurance and perseverance, including Sullivan, Benjamin and other police officers who were more familiar with Mu Qingcheng, and Johnson, the fat man with the largest tonnage in the police department, was also ranked with extraordinary perseverance.
Although others are envious, these ten people are not designated by Kelly, but ten dozen and ten have passed the assessment, and no one has anything to say.
"Okay, boss, don't worry!"
Ten people left the police station with pride, and those who should not have been on the night shift also left one after another.
Kelly then said, "Almost, let's go to judge James." ”
Mu Qingcheng and two policemen followed Kelly into the interrogation room.
"Who are you, and where is this?"
James shouted.
"You have the right to remain silent, but everything you say will be used as evidence in court, and you have the right to meet with a lawyer, and if you can't afford a lawyer, the government can provide you with a lawyer for free," Kelly said. ”
As soon as he heard this, James had some confidence, snorted coldly, and showed a disdainful smile.
Mu Qingcheng was speechless and said, "Officer Kelly, aren't you looking for trouble?"
Kelly said angrily: "This is the rule, do you understand? All police officers must say this sentence before interrogation, otherwise it is illegal, okay, start now."
Twelve years ago, James, did you sell your home in Jamaica Bay to Mr. and Mrs. Hawke at half price?"
Suddenly, James's face changed drastically, when he was alone in the small dark room, he thought a lot, the biggest possibility was a certain financial fraud case, which was also the reason why he ran away, but he was really caught, he was not too worried, after all, the professionalism of financial fraud is very strong, and the difficulty of getting rid of the official situation is not too great, and there is a mysterious force behind him.
A considerable part of the money he defrauded was handed over to the mysterious forces, and he believed that it was impossible for these people to give up on themselves, but he never expected that Kelly would sell the house when he opened his mouth!
Scenes of the past came to mind like lightning bolts, and the girl who died tragically thought that she had gradually forgotten it with time, but at this time, every face was so clear, and even countless dying pleas echoed in her ears!
Kelly said again: "James, the transaction records are easy to find, let me ask you, isn't it?"
"Yes!"
James reluctantly complied.
Kelly went on to ask, "Why sell at 50% below the market price?"
"I ......," James gritted his teeth, "because I was in a hurry to get money, and I was in finance, and I judged that New York housing prices would peak at the end of 2006 and then plummet, so I cut the meat at one time, and it turned out that my judgment was correct." “
"Huh, huh?"
Kelly smiled coldly: "Show him the slides!"
"Okay!"
A police officer turns on the slide projector, and it is Thompson's diary!
"It's a weekend ......"
The familiar handwriting, the unforgettable past presented in front of him, James trembled uncontrollably, beads of sweat rolled on his forehead, and his face was pale and terrifying, he understood that the events of twelve years ago had been revealed.
'What should I do? What should I do?'
James was confused, and asked himself over and over again, he thought that the police could get this note, indicating that there was something wrong with Thompson, and through Thompson's confession, Shun Teng found himself.
'No, I can't say, I'm dead, I'm going to find my lawyer, they'll figure it out!'
"James, the evidence is ironclad, tell me honestly!" Kelly suddenly screamed.
Taking a deep breath, James said, "I'm going to make an appointment with my lawyer, and from now on, I'm silent and won't say a word again!"
We don't think you're the main culprit, you just can't stand the temptation, you have been occupied by the devil, and now it's time for you to clear yourself!"
"James, those women you killed are watching you from heaven, it's useless for you to deny it, I advise you to confess honestly, repent sincerely, and cooperate with the police, maybe in court can reduce some of your guilt!"
Two policemen persuaded one after another!
But James bit his lip tightly and said nothing.
"I'm coming!"
Mu Qingcheng walked over and said, "To deal with such a person, the only way to deal with him is to give him some color to taste, and we will help Mr. James take off his clothes first." “
James's eyes twitched violently, and he said loudly: "You dare, torture is strictly prohibited by American law!"
"This ......," the two policemen hesitated.
Kelly waved her hand and said, "Let's all go out, and leave it to Mu Qingcheng here." “
One policeman said, "Boss, I'm afraid this is not good. “
Kelly said impatiently: "Mu Qingcheng is an auxiliary policeman, if anything goes wrong, just fire him, the pot is on his back, and it has nothing to do with the bureau." “
"Huh?"
The eyes of the two policemen lit up.
Mu Qingcheng looked at Kelly speechlessly, he couldn't imagine that the dignified American imperialism and the beacon of democracy would also play this hand.
Kelly chuckled proudly: "This is the era of information explosion, with good experience, the whole world will apply it, if your temporary worker blame system is borrowed by the American police system, the effect is very good, let's go out, Mu Qingcheng can handle it." “
The two cops and Kelly came out of the interrogation room.
There's no way, just take the blame.
Mu Qingcheng opened the chair and released James.
James hurriedly took two steps back and looked at Mu Qingcheng nervously.
Mu Qingcheng smiled evilly: "Don't worry, I won't beat you, I won't scold you, and I won't torture you to extract a confession, because the law of the United States does not allow it, so I can only interrogate civilly, first test your cold resistance, please take off your clothes yourself, don't force me to do it!"
"No, no!" James, with a look of horror on his face, crouched down with his clothes between his legs.
"It seems that you are toasting and not eating and drinking!"
Mu Qingcheng's face sank, and he lifted James.
'Don't, don't!'
James struggled, but in Mu Qingcheng's hands, that struggle was meaningless, and he was quickly stripped of his clothes and dragged out of the interrogation room with only a pair of shorts.
Although the sleet had long since stopped, the temperature at night had dropped below zero, and James was instantly frozen with goosebumps and shivering in the cold wind.
"Recruit or not?"
Mu Qingcheng asked.
James curled up in a ball and didn't squeak.
"I can't help it, I have to add vegetables to you!"
Mu Qingcheng shrugged helplessly and pushed James towards the tree.
"No!"
As soon as James's cry came out, Mu Qingcheng took out a ball of cloth, stuffed it into his mouth, and tied it to a tree.
The sea breeze was gusting, cold and biting, James could not shrink into a ball, his limbs were exposed to the cold wind, his face gradually showed a painful color, and the only thing he could do was to barely stand on his toes, only to touch the ground on his toes, so that his feet would not be so cold.
"James, if you don't move, just nod your head!"
After about half an hour, Mu Qingcheng said again.
Not to mention, this guy is quite persevering, and he still doesn't say a word.
"I've got to add vegetables to you again, hey~~"
Mu Qingcheng sighed and came back with a poke of water.
"Hmm~~"
James shook his head violently, huddled in the cold wind, it was enough to eat, and then poured a bucket of ice water, not to mention fatal, at least stomach problems were inevitable.
Sure enough, before he poured it on his head, James's stomach hurt, and the whole person hunched over, hanging on the rope in pain.
Mu Qingcheng said coldly: "Give you one last chance, or I'll let you challenge the ice bucket!"
"Hmm~~"
James nodded busily.
A policeman who hid and peeked into the house couldn't help but praise: "I found that the Chinese are a lot of tricks, and they are simple and easy to do, and the cost is low, and the water prison designed by the CIA for 50 million US dollars a few years ago is the same as that of the mentally handicapped, I think the CIA should hire Mu Qingcheng to be the torture designer." “
Another policeman nodded: "Yes, why didn't we expect it, such a good method, no intimidation, no beatings in the whole process!"
"Less nonsense!" Kelly frowned, "We'll go now." “
