After imprisoning the two people in two different rooms, Fang Zheng did not interrogate him immediately. On the contrary, he first found the old lady and asked her about the situation and accommodation records of the two people, and then he

He took Xiaolan to the room.

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

"clear."

Mira nodded and ran to the door of another room where prisoners were held with a smile. Xiaolan watched her leave and suddenly realized.

"Mr. Fangzheng, are you planning to use that trick?"

"Which trick?"

"That's what made the two prisoners suspicious of each other. They both suspected that the other one confessed first..."

"You're talking about the prisoner's dilemma."

Fang Zheng thought for a moment and nodded.

"It is true that the prisoner's dilemma works well in certain situations, but it is not applicable to this situation."

"Yeah?"

Xiaolan was somewhat surprised when she heard Fangzheng's answer.

"Yes, we all know that these two people reacted abnormally, which means they must have some connection with the victim, but they definitely did not kill anyone. Because of this, they do not need to care about whether the other party will confess any secrets. On the contrary,

If you go in and use this trick to deceive them, anyone who is not stupid will understand that you are fooling people."

"This, this is it..."

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

Fang Zheng gestured to Xiaolan, then opened the door and walked into the room.

The person locked in this room was the short, fat man among the two. He was handcuffed to a chair at the moment and was obviously very uncomfortable. Seeing Fang Zheng and Xiao Lan walking in, the short fat man also had an unhappy expression on his face.

"I said, why are you holding me here? I'll sue you!"

"It is only natural that criminals should be handcuffed. Okay, please wait a moment."

Fang Zheng moved the table and placed it in front of him, then took two chairs, placed one in front of Xiaolan, and sat down on the other. Then he took out the camera and blank video tape he obtained from the deceased, and placed them on

Open it on the desktop. Seeing this scene, the short and fat man couldn't help but become a little nervous.

"You, what are you doing?"

"trial."

Fang Zheng nodded at the table, motioned for Xiaolan to sit down, and then looked at the short fat man with a smile.

"You haven't experienced an 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 I said, and the camera will

The entire interrogation process will be filmed, so that when it comes to court, there will be enough evidence to prove the prosecution's proposal... Do you understand?"

"Don't scare people! What kind of court! I won't accept this!"

Although the short fat man also yelled at this moment, his expression when looking at the camera became obviously much more nervous, while Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders and had no intention of arguing with him. He just fiddled with the camera and then pressed

Start button.

"Okay, then... Let's get started. First, your name, gender, occupation, and age."

The short fat man was obviously not willing to answer, but the documents in Fang Zheng's hand made him a little nervous, so in the end he hesitated again and again and muttered an answer to Fang Zheng's question, and Xiaolan also wrote down the other party's answer seriously.

.

"Then, my next question is, why do you break into other people's rooms without permission and commit theft?"

"Didn't I tell you, we are just looking for evidence that the woman committed murder!"

"really interesting."

Although the short fat man gave a tough answer, Fangzheng's expression was still smiling.

"You are not the police, and you have no relevant qualifications. You actually went into other people's rooms to rummage through boxes... To be honest, I don't think your reason will be recognized in court. Of course, if you ask me,

If so, you are not looking for evidence, but destroying evidence."

"You, what are you talking nonsense about?!"

Upon hearing this, the short fat man immediately roared.

"Why would we do such a thing? Do you suspect that we killed that person?"

"It's not impossible, is it?"

Fang Zheng was still smiling and seemed not to be affected by the other party at all.

"You have also seen the photos. Judging from the blood dripping on the last photo, the death time of the deceased should have been during the day before it snowed..."

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

"So do you have an alibi?"

"……………Why?"

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

Fang Zheng flipped through the notebook in his hand.

"She said that after you arrived at the hotel, you rested for a while and then went hunting in the mountains and forests. And right after that, Mr. Futugaki also left to take pictures of the snow girl, so it is very likely that you and your friends collaborated to kill

Mr. Futugaki..."

“Nonsense!!!”

At this time, the short fat man finally couldn't sit still and started shouting.

"I was hunting at that time, and I didn't kill anyone at all. Besides, chocolate, by the way, what about the piece of chocolate placed next to the body? When you were making chocolate, I went to the forest, and I have been there ever since.

They haven’t come back! Since the piece of chocolate was placed next to the deceased, it must have been placed by the murderer. How could we do it?"

"Oh, this..."

"Yes, how do you explain it?"

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

"I don't need an explanation."

"……………Aha?"

"Whether the chocolate appearing next to the body is related to the murderer, there is no direct evidence to prove this."

Fang Zheng smiled and spread his hands.

"Mr. Futagaki did not die from poisoning, but from a blow to the brain. Unless you think that piece of chocolate can be hard enough to kill someone, that is another matter."

"………………"

Is this okay?

Xiao Lan and Chubby looked at Fang Zheng dumbfounded, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Yes, but that piece of chocolate was indeed made by you at that time! Since it was placed next to the body, it means that someone must have discovered the body! Since that person discovered the body, why didn't he tell you? Doesn't that mean that the other person is

The murderer?!"

The short fat man was also incoherent now, while Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders.

"Indeed, what you said makes sense."

"So……………"

"But there is no evidence to prove your inference. Sir, you have to know that in court, what we look at is evidence, not just reasoning. Otherwise, there is no need for our Metropolitan Police Department to exist, and everyone will change their profession.

Become a detective. Indeed, it is strange for that piece of chocolate to appear next to the deceased, but there is currently no evidence that this piece of chocolate is directly related to the death of the deceased... So we will not find the answer to this question in the future.

Chi. Now, let’s get back to the topic.”

Fang Zheng intertwined his fingers and leaned on the back of the chair.

"Okay, let's get back to the topic. Please answer my question. Since you didn't intend to steal, then why did you go to Mr. Futugaki's room to look through his and his girlfriend's boxes? What on earth were you doing?

What are you looking for?"

"……………………"

The short fat man was sweating profusely and his eyes were staring at the ground.

"I, we really just passed by to take a look, we didn't find anything..."

"Since you refuse to say it, I have to make a reasonable guess, that is, Mr. Ergaki has some evidence against you, so you want to take it back, but Mr. Ergaki refuses to give it. Maybe both of you

There was no agreement, maybe for some reason, so you killed him and then came to find what you were worried about."

"This is all nonsense, we didn't kill anyone!"

The short fat man shouted again, while Fang Zheng chuckled.

"So I'm asking you, why did you go through the suitcases of Mr. Ergaki and his girlfriend? If you don't give me a reasonable answer, then you will have to go to court to explain to the judge. At least, judging 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 two of you must have something to do with Mr. Futugaki's death."
