You guessed right away what’s in this bottle? I underestimated you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now, he noticed Kong Lingjie’s eyes widened for an instant, his eyelids and eyebrows slightly lifted, then immediately returned to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That reaction meant surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Precisely because it lasted only an instant, Yu Dazhang was certain he wasn’t faking it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason is simple: an expression of surprise lasting over one second is fake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why say that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because microexpressions are part of the stress response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They arise from human instinct, beyond conscious control, impossible to conceal or fake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the best actor will show a microexpression the instant they encounter a genuine stimulus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their “acting” can only come after the microexpression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why do so many criminal investigators study psychology but rarely use it in actual work?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because two conditions must be met:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, a flexible mind capable of applying learned knowledge creatively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Have you ever experienced this: while recalling the past, suddenly a thought strikes you…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn, I should’ve done it that way back then!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s the legendary “Monday morning quarterback.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after everything’s over do you realize there was a better way at the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone learns the same knowledge, but some apply it to life and work, while others forget it all within a few years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s the difference between people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So just this one criterion—applying knowledge creatively—eliminates the vast majority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, excellent eyesight and sharp observation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ability to see and capture subtle changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is also essential; no matter how sharp your mind, if you miss the clue, it’s useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both points are indispensable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Dazhang possesses both.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kong Lingjie’s performance might fool Lu Zhongxin, but before him, it’s transparent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Speak,” Yu Dazhang stood before Kong Lingjie, looking down at him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Which of you two came up with the idea to take the blame?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I already said—I don’t understand what you’re talking about,” Kong Lingjie met his gaze, expression resolute, eyes open and honest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What an excellent actor… Yu Dazhang couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s wasted as a laborer; with this talent, he could’ve at least landed a bit part in a film base like Hengdian or Zhongshan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a pity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, then we’ll start from sixteen years ago,” Yu Dazhang sighed and asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why did you and your wife divorce?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kong Lingjie froze, clearly unprepared for this question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened his mouth, hesitated several seconds, then replied:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Incompatible temperaments.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re not lying—it really was incompatible temperaments,” Yu Dazhang continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But what was the reason? You didn’t just lose feelings out of nowhere.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We got tired of each other,” Kong Lingjie’s expression darkened, as if unwilling to mention his ex-wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now comes the moment to witness a miracle,” Yu Dazhang said, stepping back two paces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the startled gazes of Lu Zhongxin and Kong Lingjie, he pointed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re lying!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Back then, your ex-wife filed for divorce unilaterally—because you lost your only child!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After that, you traveled to many cities searching for him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When you ran out of money, you took odd jobs, saved every penny, then moved to another city to keep looking.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But for the past four years, you’ve stayed in Songhai, never gone anywhere else.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can’t think of any reason that would make someone as determined as you stop—unless…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Yu Dazhang could finish, Kong Lingjie suddenly shouted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Dazhang halted mid-sentence, frowning slightly. How fragile?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve barely started—there are still several more revelations coming~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re making me feel useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You found her too?” Kong Lingjie asked, eyes wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not hard,” Yu Dazhang replied:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Follow the vine to the fruit. To us, your ex-wife is your only remaining relative.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this, Kong Lingjie fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if lost in memory, his eyes gradually lost focus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Dazhang didn’t rush; he sat back down and waited quietly with Lu Zhongxin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About two minutes later, Kong Lingjie spoke again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is she doing well?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Dazhang didn’t answer. Instead, he took a DVD from the file folder and inserted it into the laptop on the desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few operations, he walked to Kong Lingjie, placed the laptop on the partition, and angled the screen toward him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Watch for yourself,” Yu Dazhang said, tapping the touchpad to play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When a middle-aged woman appeared on screen, Kong Lingjie’s eyes instantly reddened, his body stiffening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please... collect 6...9...books....!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if seeing her in person, he forced a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman in the video answered question after question; Kong Lingjie stared unblinkingly at her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until she said, “Yes, we had a child,” and Kong Lingjie finally broke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tears streamed down his face, his lips trembling violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let me explain something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you think this is melodramatic?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why do so many TV dramas show suspects bursting into tears when their family is mentioned?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such clichés!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you think that, congratulations—you’ve never been inside a real interrogation room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The drama may exaggerate, but it’s not overstated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget the formal interrogation rooms in detention centers or holding facilities—just consider a police station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First: no windows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a completely enclosed space, emotions have no outlet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Traveling to see scenery relieves stress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now think: what does a sealed room do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is also psychology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second: the walls are like leather sofas—no echo, slightly elastic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guess why—I won’t elaborate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third: the room layout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Imagine: at least two people staring at you nonstop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, nonstop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The longer it goes, the heavier the pressure becomes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is one interrogation technique: steadily increasing psychological burden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the moment you enter the room, this burden becomes invisible pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It hangs over your head like a boulder, making breathing difficult, tightening your nerves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until… you’re given an outlet to release it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The video ended. Yu Dazhang returned to his seat, waiting for him to regain composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long after, Kong Lingjie lifted his head, voice hoarse:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why did you disturb her? So many years have passed—she must have remarried by now. Why bother?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Dazhang shook his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She’s been alone all this time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really?!\" Kong Lingjie stared at Yu Dazhang in disbelief:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could she possibly...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing is impossible,\" Yu Dazhang interrupted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She stopped hating you long ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I need to speed up...
