Chapter 602 - 547: Joint Operation
Interrogation room.
The suspect Bao Wenxing’s hands were shackled to the interrogation chair, and his body was also bound to the chair back with restraint straps, but he still challenged the police officer across from him with his gaze, remaining silent, saying not a word.
The restraint was more out of fear that he might become emotionally agitated.
Such situations, while rare in the eyes of outsiders, were quite common for the police. Particularly with repeat offenders, who often attempt to avoid punishment by self-harm.
What the interrogating officer hadn’t expected was that Bao Wenxing’s emotions were very stable; instead, he used his gaze to provoke the officer, keeping silent and withstanding the officer’s verbal onslaught.
"You should know, even if you don’t speak, we can still convict you with no confession," the interrogating officer adjusted his stance and began to look more serious.
What to do when a suspect doesn’t talk? Reason with him.
Reason with him, present evidence, and even deliberately say things to provoke the suspect...
In some countries that particularly respect the right to silence, if a suspect requests a lawyer or chooses to exercise their right to remain silent, the police are not allowed to continue the interrogation and have to wait until the lawyer arrives before resuming.
But domestically, if a suspect doesn’t talk, while the police certainly can’t force him to speak, the police speaking themselves isn’t affected.
