Li Mengxi and his group, who came to investigate, did not take the villagers seriously at all. They took their time and lined up at the entrance of the village. They did not attack or step forward to call for formation. They even chatted for a while.

The situation was overwhelming. Hundreds of rebel troops arrived. Without doing anything, they scared the people who were defending the village into panic. Finally, the people in charge could not withstand the pressure and gave in. They tied up the murderers and escorted them away.

come out.

Li Mengxi quietly watched the other party approaching, quietly watching the other party's submissive and flattering appearance.

In addition to the seven murderers, they also brought pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks, and half a cart of money.

According to normal logic, the villagers wanted to sacrifice their wealth to save their lives.

However, this matter is obviously not going to develop according to normal practice.

The murderer was escorted, and both Guan Yu and Liao Hua looked at Li Mengxi, waiting for Li Mengxi to give the order to deal with it.

Li Mengxi glanced at the seven murderers who looked helpless, frightened, or numb. He had no ability to recognize people, nor could he break a eucalyptus. However, after a glance, he found that the seven people being escorted out were all wearing clothes.

Shabby and poor look.

Li Mengxi suddenly had a guess, and he secretly thought that these seven people were the legendary scapegoats.

I am here for justice. Killing an innocent scapegoat is not justice.

Li Mengxi said expressionlessly to the frightened villagers in front of him, "Go and call the person in charge of you to speak."

The villagers didn't get a reply, and they didn't know whether to continue pursuing the case or let it go. The villagers hurried back to call the person in charge.

——

Just at the entrance of the village, a "court" rose.

The seven tied "murderers" have been loosened and each has been given a seat. In addition, the person in charge of the village came. As soon as the person in charge came, he burst into tears and said that he had not taken care of the people in the village.

, I absolutely shouldn’t have hurt anyone’s life, I was willing to die in exchange for the lives of the villagers.

Li Mengxi refused to embarrass him and offered him a seat as well.

In addition, several officials from the Ministry of Legislation and the Ministry of Justice were also present, and the last group of people were camp residents who had witnessed the conflict at that time.

It happened that people from all directions were sitting in a circle from front to back and left to right.

In this circle of court, the rebel soldiers lined up on the left, and the villagers who were called to "hear the trial" watched on the right.

The conflicting parties had already arrived. Li Mengxi first looked at the seven uneasy murderers on the opposite side and asked calmly, "You seven, please answer. When I, the Julu Tunding, came to your village, did I do anything to insult women?"

This opening question brought silence to the scene.

The "murderers" thought they wanted to ask why they committed the murder, the villagers thought they wanted to punish the murderer, the villagers thought they wanted to kill people on the spot, and the Julu officials thought they wanted to declare guilt in public. The result was different from what everyone expected. Li Mengxi

He actually didn't ask the murderer whether he admitted his guilt or not, but instead asked whether his fellow guardsmen were guilty or not.

The murderers were still dazed, but the guards stood up angrily, "Military advisor, we are all innocent, how could we do such a thing!"

"We are few people, how dare we do evil?"

…

Li Mengxi quietly watched the campers complain.

When the complaints stopped, Li Mengxi looked at the murderers and asked again, "Did I bully women, bully the weak, steal, etc. when I was stationed in the village that day?"

"Nothing!"

"No! I was driven out shortly after entering the village..."

…

The murderers started talking at once.

One party's testimony was known, and Li Mengxi looked at the person in charge of the village. The powerful middle-aged man in charge was pale at this time, and his expression was extremely nervous.

Li Mengxi asked, "May I ask the village chief if I have done anything bad when I am stationed in the village?"

"No...no bad deeds." The chief said nervously and stuttered.

Then, Li Mengxi raised his voice and asked the crowd of people watching from behind, "Fellows and fellow villagers, did anyone do evil when our troops came to the village? If so, you might as well tell me and someone can make the decision for everyone."

The villagers looked at each other, but no one responded.

Li Mengxi asked several times, but no one answered. The villagers themselves began to whisper and coo.

After waiting for a long time, someone in the crowd finally spoke up to prove to the campers that they had not done any evil deeds.

At this time, the testimonies were complete, but Li Mengxi remained silent. Because at this time, Li Mengxi could not figure out whether the villagers were really innocent and the victims, or whether the villagers did not dare to identify them because of the power of the army.

Li Mengxi later realized that there were too many soldiers. The best situation this time is that the villagers are not afraid of the rebels and dare to confront the rebels on the spot and say whatever they want without reservation. In this way, the truth can be uncovered.

Li Mengxi pondered quietly without saying a word.

Li Mengxi was recalling the litigation process on TV. The litigation process is an endless debate between the lawsuit and the litigant, each presenting evidence. As the saying goes, the reason cannot be understood without argument. As long as the logic is inappropriate, then in the tit-for-tat argument,

Logical inconsistencies will definitely be exposed.

To appeal to justice and seek the truth, the key is to have reasonable logic and no flaws.

If the truth is consistent with logic, but it is not the truth, then the logic will inevitably have flaws. The verbal confrontation in the debate can expose the flaws of both sides. Therefore, the debate between the pros and cons is consistent with the efforts to seek the truth and seek justice.

But at this time, there was no debate and the court was completely silent.

At this time, Li Mengxi really wanted to have someone on the other side who was very sharp-tongued and courageous. He would have a heated debate. During the debate, he would be able to pick out the logical inaccuracies one by one and get close to the truth.

.

When Li Mengxi raised his head from his meditation, he looked around and found that everyone was looking at him.

Turning his eyes to the murderers, Li Mengxi asked calmly, "I want to ask you, since my troops in the camp have not done any evil, why do you want to attack them?" When he asked this, Li Mengxi's expression became slightly cold.

"What an injustice! It's not that we wanted to take action, it was our boss who asked us to do so, saying that someone was coming to rob the village's land."

"You've already beaten others, how can you say it's just me who killed them?"

"I didn't even come here, I didn't even meet anyone, it's unfair!"

…

When life and death were imminent, the murderers began to plead and complain in order to fight for a chance of survival.

So many people were arguing together, which gave Li Mengxi a headache. He couldn't help frowning, "Don't make any noise," he scolded, "come one by one."

Indicating to the person next to him to prepare a note, Li Mengxi asked the first murderer.

"You," Li Mengxi pointed at the murderer, "What's your last name and who's your first name?"

The murderer was stunned for a moment, "My name is Yang...Yang Erdan."

"Place of ancestry?" Li Mengxi asked again, "That's where I live."

"I live in Hudian'er."

"How many people are there in the family?"

…

"What do you do when you fight?"

…

Li Mengxi didn't know how to interrogate, but as he was interrogated, he gradually realized some of the techniques he had seen on TV.

Interrogation is actually a psychological tactic. The reason why questions are asked deliberately and randomly is because the more questions and the more detailed the questions, the more difficult it will be for the person being interrogated to come up with a lie.

Asking random questions is, firstly, to collect data in as much detail as possible, and secondly, to disrupt the attention of the person being interrogated. Lying requires concentration. If one loses concentration or is distracted, the true thoughts in the heart will be subconsciously leaked.

These were the interrogation techniques that Li Mengxi realized. He deliberately asked questions here and there. The first question was about last year's harvest, and the next question was about who ordered the beating.

After asking for a long time, the person in charge of recording next to me jotted down a lot of things.

Then, the second, third, and finally the last one were interrogated in the same manner.

After interrogating the murderer, he interrogated the Tun Ding in the same way and recorded a lot of testimonies.

For a long time, the whole audience just listened to Li Mengxi asking a lot of questions. No one knew what Li Mengxi wanted to do.

Finally, all the detailed testimonies were collected.

Li Mengxi began to check the testimony. According to his own understanding, in the many repeated interrogations, as long as there was one difference, it was probably that the person on trial was lying. Li Mengxi only understood so much about interrogation techniques.

For the first testimony, Li Mengxi checked the entire article. He checked word for word. The result was that the entire article was consistent and correct.

Li Mengxi couldn't help but look up at the "murderer". He was not sure at this time whether his interrogation skills were useless or whether the murderer was too honest and didn't panic at all.

Li Mengxi believed that there were two possibilities. It was possible that his interrogation skills were too poor, or that the murderer was too honest and said whatever he wanted.

Then, I went to check many other testimonies. After checking, I found that most of the testimonies were the same, with a few inconsistencies. I took them out and asked them again. Sure enough, the person being asked either excused himself and said that he didn't remember clearly, or that he didn't remember clearly.

Said he remembered it wrong.

From here, Li Mengxi made a judgment, and he felt that his interrogation method was still somewhat effective.

Based on this judgment, Li Mengxi felt that since the interrogation method was effective and the testimonies were mostly consistent, it was most likely that the villagers were too honest and did not know how to tell a lie or make up a lie.

If the villagers had told lies, it would be difficult for Mr. Li to tell the truth from the lies with his current ability.
