So Wen Xiaoyun turned to face Magistrate Wang and Yin Qianhua, "Returning to your lord, I kindly request that the three masters and servants of the Du family be escorted back to the Prison Department for separate interrogation immediately."
Magistrate Wang and Yin Qianhua looked at each other.
Wen Xiaoyun's request is very reasonable.
The case has reached this point, and it's time to go back to the Yamen for a special trial.
Magistrate Wang stood up first and waved his hand, "Okay, let's take a group of people, including the deceased, back to the Yamen."
Next to him, Yin Nuo almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
Did Wen Zhuyun understand what he said?
He wanted to tell Wen Zhuyun that the results of the interrogation would be available in the shortest possible time. However, Wen Zhuyun's suggestion was clearly slowing down the interrogation time.
Isn't he the first genius? Can't you see that the prefect Wang is eager to fly back to the Yamen immediately and then do whatever he has to do?
As if sensing Yin Nuo's anxious mood, Wen Xiaoyun turned around and whispered to him: "Yin arrests the head, completely separate these three people, and escort them back to the Prison Department alone. The sooner the better."
Yin Nuo frowned.
Although he still couldn't figure out Wen Zhuyun's true thoughts, when things got to this point, he could only follow his orders.
Soon, Yin Nuo directed the policemen to quickly escort the three masters and servants of the Du family and Jia Ba's body out.
Magistrate Wang was very happy to finally be able to escape, and walked briskly towards the door, "Master Yin, this time, the two of us can go back to the Yamen together."
"Master Magistrate," before Yin Qianhua could reply, Wen Xiaoyun stepped forward and interrupted Magistrate Wang's words that could not conceal his excitement.
"Wen Xingfang, what else is going on?" Wang Zhifu stopped.
"I have a plan to get the three masters and servants of the Du family to tell all the truth within half an hour."
The prefect Wang nodded thoughtfully, "That's right. There are many instruments of torture in the prison. Now that the suspicions of Mrs. Du Li and her servant Du Jiu have been found, we can directly torture them."
But except for looking at Wen Xiaoyun, he still said nothing.
Wen Xiaoyun couldn't help but secretly wiped the sweat in her heart.
In ancient times, you really had to be careful at all times.
Otherwise, if you are falsely accused and imprisoned, you will be slapped with a set of severe punishments, and you will have nowhere to cry.
"My Lord Prefect, although torture can make them speak, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive and may not necessarily force them to tell the truth.
My subordinate's method is faster and more accurate. I am 90% sure that I can tell them all the truth willingly."
Hearing this, both Wang Zhifu and Yin Qianhua opened their eyes in surprise.
During the trial process, confession has always been a difficult point.
The more cunning a criminal is, the less truth he tells.
Wen Xiaoyun's confidence may be a bit too much.
"If there is any way, just tell Wen Xingfang directly." Yin Qianhua finally urged.
Wen Xiaoyun approached the two of them and explained her inspiration clearly.
But the prefect Wang was confused when he heard this.
He didn't fully understand Wen Xiaoyun's intention until he returned to the Prison Department of the prefecture's Yamen, when Magistrate Wang and Yin Qianhua followed Wen Xiaoyun's suggestion and sat down in a compartment in the back room of the interrogation room.
Yin Qianhua, who was sitting next to him, smiled slightly and said, "Master Wang, please be patient. Wen Xingfang is using the fear and greed inherent in life to make a fuss.
Maybe it won't take half an hour before she can force him to find out the truth."
"People are born with fear and greed?" Wang Zhifu was even more confused.
Wen Xiaoyun in the room outside was very confident.
She imitated the layout of a modern police interrogation room and asked people to set up two tables facing each other in the room.
There is a chair behind each table.
Wen Xiaoyun first sat down at the table by the door.
Soon Du Li was escorted by two police officers and sent to the opposite table.
Wen Xiaojun sorted out the books and pens on the table without raising an eyelid, "Although you three are being interrogated separately, the conditions given to you are the same."
Du Li sat on the chair and twisted her body uneasily, "Guan, Guan, what do you mean? I, why can't I understand?"
Wen Xiaoyun raised his eyes, smiled coldly, and explained patiently, "Three of you, whoever tells the truth first, whoever identifies the mastermind and the murderer first, will have the opportunity to have his sentence commuted for meritorious service.
If you can tell the important facts of the case and make great contributions, your merits and demerits may even be offset.
But if anyone tells lies and delays the government's time, he will be directly responsible for the most serious crime of Du Ying'er's dismemberment case, and at the same time, he will be slapped with twenty more bullets to serve as a warning to others."
In fact, the interrogation techniques that Wen Xiaoyun remembered were the prisoner's dilemma theory in modern society.
That will be fastest.
It means putting several criminal suspects in a case into different rooms.
Then set out conditions that would make each other betray.
Two people who committed a crime named Gong are imprisoned and cannot communicate with each other. If neither person exposes the other, then each person will be imprisoned for one year because the evidence is uncertain.
If one person makes a report and the other person remains silent, the person who made the information will be released immediately for meritorious service, while the person who made the statement will be imprisoned for ten years for not cooperating.
If two people expose each other, both of them will be sentenced to eight years because of the solid evidence.
Since prisoners cannot trust each other, they tend to expose each other rather than share silence.
This psychological and human game situation is called the prisoner's dilemma.
However, here Du Li and his servant Du Jiu faked the scene and the crime of killing Jia Ba was clear, so there was no possibility that two people would deny it at the same time and receive a light sentence at the same time.
Therefore, Wen Xiaoyun's direct substitution of the death penalty would be more frightening, and the prisoner's dilemma this time would obviously be more useful.
Sure enough, after she finished stating the conditions in a nonchalant manner, Du Li's face became extremely ugly.
"It's okay if you don't tell. Of course, some people want to live and choose to speak." Wen Xiaoyun picked up the pen and pretended to record it.
At this moment, the door behind was suddenly pushed open.
