The FBI teaches you lie detection, people reading and intelligence skills

Chapter 4 Why Do You Believe a Lie? (1)
Why on earth do we believe lies?Everyone is imperfect and has limitations of one kind or another. Liars grasp the human weakness of the deceived and use people's psychology as a point of fraud to carry out a series of deceptions.

§§§Section [-] Loss of logic and rationality
The FBI pointed out that although lies arise from the loss of logic and rationality, they cannot resist logical deliberation and rational judgment.It's just that people seem to forget to think rationally in their haste.

Logic is an ancient and profound science.Logic can not only allow us to draw new conclusions and supplement new information, but it can also lead people astray and create lies.

In logic, a form of logical reasoning is called a syllogism.That is to say, from two judgments, a third new judgment must be derived.

The following is a classic syllogism 2000 years ago: All men are mortal, and Socrates is a man, so Socrates will also die.

From the two judgments, the new judgment derived is obviously very correct.The theory of this syllogism is subject to strict laws that have been tested for centuries, and without the observance of these laws, it is easy to fall into logical errors.

For lawyers, prosecutors, investigators, and of course professional detectives, being good at using one's keen logical analysis is a necessary professional habit.Judgments that cannot stand logical scrutiny and rational verification must be wrong.Lies are born of the loss of logic and rationality.

In the Pakistani film "The World", the husband of the heroine Rakia was full of crimes and was finally shot to death.His wife Rakia was identified as the murderer, and Rakia did shoot.The old lawyer Mansoor rescued this kind woman from a desperate situation.He proved for good reason that Rakia was not the murderer of her husband and she was innocent.Those who accuse Rakia of being the murderer are simply lying, because this wrong conclusion cannot withstand logical analysis.

Mansoor proved it this way: If Rakia was the murderer, then at least one of the five bullets in her pistol must have hit her husband.And now after the on-site inspection, the five bullets in her pistol all hit the opposite wall, hit the wall, and of course missed her husband.Also, if Rakia was the murderer of her husband, then the bullet must have entered her husband's body from the front, because Rakia shot her husband face to face.However, after forensic examination, the bullet on the body was shot from behind.

Therefore, to say that Rachia is the murderer obviously cannot withstand rational judgment, nor can it withstand logical interpretation.The old lawyer Mansoor used two negative consequences of hypothetical reasoning with sufficient conditions, and through these two deductive arguments, he proved that "Rakia is not the murderer".

§§§Second Endless Desires

Someone once said that "man is the product of desire, and life is the continuation of desire."It is inevitable for people to have desires, but if such desires are targeted by liars, it would be terrible.

We live in a society full of temptations and traps everywhere, the temptation of money, of beauty, of fame, of status, of emotion... It is these desires that make too many people lose themselves, and it is these desires Driven by desire, people even abandon their souls.

Successful fraud must take into account the desires of the deceived.This is very similar to fishing: the hungrier the fish, the better the fisherman has the initiative.People who tell lies can often determine what the other party wants most, and then wrap their deceit in these disguises.

The FBI pointed out that it is because people have desires and desires that they will be deceived. Some scammers are able to cheat everywhere because they capture people's desires.Some people are greedy for money, some are lustful.Scammers often use these two points to cheat.

1. Being fooled by excessive desire for money

Money is something almost no one will refuse.When someone tells you: "It's not money, it's a matter of principle," nine times out of ten it's about money.Money is the measure of value, the medium of exchange, and the storehouse of wealth.But also see the other side of money, which is intoxicating, insane, exciting, disorienting, and deceiving.As the saying goes, "A gentleman loves money, and he gets it in a proper way." Fielding said: "If money becomes your idol, then it will torture you like a devil."

George is a pig farmer. One day a pig buyer with a non-local accent came. After seeing George's pigs, he began to haggle over the price.It was finally traded at $8.7 per kilogram.After the scale, the pig weighed 127 kilograms, and the settlement was 1104.9 US dollars on the spot. When counting the money, George watched the pig buyer count down two hundred-dollar bills. , he counted them casually and put them in his pocket, thinking that he had picked up a big bargain.

George smiled at Mimi and sent the pig buyer away. When he took out the money and counted it again, it was indeed 200 yuan more, but he found that 13 of the 6 hundred-yuan bills were counterfeit.

Sometimes, what deprives the happiness of life is not so much the confrontation of weapons, but the trap of material desire.Therefore, we have to reflect on whether you are desperate for money and whether you put money first in your life.If so, the greed of money will make you its slave.

2. Walk into a well-designed trap because of lust
Most men reveal their greed or possessiveness once they see a beautiful woman. It's understandable that "a fair lady, a gentleman likes a good girl", but some people are extremely lustful, and even contain a kind of evil thought.As the saying goes, "Heroes are saddened by beauty", some liars have interpreted this sentence very well.

How many men are powerful in the market.Earning a lot of money is also full, but only because of lust.Ended up in a tragic and ridiculous end.

Boss Wang, who is worth tens of millions, has a smooth career.But the only disadvantage is lust, and in the end he suffered from it.

Boss Wang went to other places to discuss business, and the other party took him to the hotel very enthusiastically. He had a big meal in a very luxurious restaurant. The beauties who accompanied him made Boss Wang feast his eyes.The program arranged by the other party in the evening was also very "wonderful". First, they watched the sex dance performance in the nightclub, and then they went to the box to sing karaoke.

When Boss Wang was drunk, the other party took out the contract that had been drawn up. Boss Wang took a quick look and signed the contract.When I woke up the next day, I looked at the contract and guessed that I was cheated. There were many malicious clauses in it.However, it is useless to argue with black and white words, who will let yourself be lustful.

Everyone has weaknesses, and the more desires people have, the more weaknesses they have, and the greater the possibility of falling into a trap.

Greed for fame, fortune and status makes some people do things unscrupulously in order to remove obstacles to their progress. To these people, morality is simply nonsense.

It's these desires that people have that give scammers a chance.Your desires are used by him, and only by using your weaknesses can he achieve his goals.

§§§ Section [-] Addicted to jealousy in love

The FBI pointed out that people who are addicted to love are often confused, and the jealousy caused by love often makes people lose their minds.Lie sees the hope of growth in love and jealousy.

People who are in love are mostly in confusion.If you add some jealousy to it, it will definitely be a mess.

1. Lost in love
People who are in love see the world, especially the one they love, through "rose-colored" glasses, through their own feelings.Unfortunately, this is often exploited by dishonest people.

Not only women have no sense of direction in love, but even men are often confused.History has many stories like this.The most famous of these is the movie "The Tsar's Wish" which depicts the era of Empress Catherine II.

In 1804, Napoleon wanted to teach the Royalists a lesson.He chose the young Bourbon prince as Duke of Gien.At that time, the Duke lived in Baden, and he had to be smuggled back to France from abroad, and then executed.

He gave the task to Karl Schulmeister, a rookie French spy, and the first thing he set out to do was to study all the prince's habits and weaknesses.He found out that when the Duke of Guien fell in love with a young woman who lived in Strasbourg, he often visited her.Schulmeister immediately sent his assistants to Strasbourg, captured the woman and took her to the border town.The reason for the arrest was a violation of a certain passport regime.Then he wrote him a letter in the name of the Prince's lover, in which the lover begged the Duke to deliver her back.

Duke Dang Ji'an, who lost his reason for love, hurried to the border town. He wanted to bribe those robbers with money to rescue his lover.However, he was arrested as soon as he got there and sent back to France.Six days later the young duke was shot, by a court-martial.

2. The fire of jealousy hurts others and hurts oneself
Jealousy is one of the weaknesses of human nature. Other people's natural stature, appearance, and intelligence and intelligence that appear day by day can become the object of envy; other factors related to social evaluation such as honor, status, achievement, property, and prestige are also important. It is easy to become the object of their envy.

In general, jealousy evokes emotions no less powerful than love.Sometimes the inner emotions stirred up by being dominated by jealousy are so strong that it is difficult to appeal to his reason on rational grounds.There are also people who are good at harnessing this crazy form of pain and pleasure, and gain their own benefits from it.

Mr. D was born noble and wealthy.He took a fancy to his colleague Ms. M.But M has a husband and loves her husband with all her heart.

Mr. D heard that M loves her husband very much, and that no man is in M's heart, so she only cares about her husband, and she is very jealous.He suddenly had an idea, and felt that he was just taking advantage of her weakness to achieve his goal.

The company organizes employees to go to the beach to play together. Mr. D took the time to vaguely mention to M that her husband might have other interests outside.These words really aroused M's jealousy, and he wished to cross-examine his words immediately. Mr. D also revealed that M's husband will have a date in room 502 of a certain hotel tomorrow night.And suggested to M, "If you want to verify whether it is true, go to his dating place tomorrow, let him reveal his true colors, and teach him a lesson."

After listening to what he said, M didn't have the rationality to think about the whole story, and didn't consider whether there was any ulterior motive in it, so she immediately believed what he said out of jealousy.

The next morning, Mr. D rushed to the hotel and bribed the boss and waiter there.The boss arranged room 502, and used special curtains to make the room airtight, and the lights were dim and ambiguous.

The next afternoon, M came to the hotel, and the boss led her to the dark room where Mr. D was already waiting for her.As soon as M came in, Mr. D held her tightly in his arms. In order to expose him thoroughly, M cooperates with him and does not speak.

After going to bed, M felt that it was time for an attack, and suddenly said angrily: "Who do you think you are sleeping with right now? I am M, a liar without conscience. When I am at home on weekdays, I only Seeing that you are weak and tired, you have no energy at all."

Mr. D said: "My dear baby, don't be angry, it's me."

M heard what he said, and heard his accent, and was stunned. He wanted to resist, but he didn't want to make things big. If her husband knew about it, he would definitely not forgive him. M was very painful and confused, and it was only at this time that she realized that it was all caused by jealousy.

Mr. D's typical behavior of using women's jealousy to cheat, and using people's jealousy to cheat in life is definitely not only in the emotional field.

Lies are created by jealousy, and jealousy is deepened by lies.Strong jealousy is a special mental illness or mental defect. When jealousy and lies are combined, the chemical reaction formed is often unimaginable.Jealousy gives wings to lies, and lies provide false evidence for jealousy. In an instant, everyone is deceived and the world is dusted.Therefore, the result of jealousy and lies is to hurt others and ourselves.

§§§ Section [-] because of stupidity, so deceived

The FBI states that there is nothing more dangerous in the world than actual ignorance and serious stupidity.Your stupidity often results in the deceitfulness of others.

There are several types of stupidity: born with mental retardation, or acquired lack of spirituality; there are also "great wise fools", which are only a minority, and can become outstanding or elite;

When it comes to stories of being deceived for stupidity, three days and three nights can't finish it.

Several women in Zhongshan, Guangdong were deceived into buying a house in the name of dating and marriage in a short period of time ranging from 10 to 20 yuan, and successfully defrauded more than 90 yuan.The scammer's age, appearance, and even educational background are nothing special, only the fourth grade of elementary school education.Such a foolish person, yet succeeds repeatedly, how stupid is the deceived.

In the business field, many people are fooled because of their own stupidity and credulity.

Paul is short of $20 in business.When I was in trouble, I received a text message advertising a quick loan on my mobile phone, promising "no guarantee, no mortgage".Paul immediately dialed the other party's phone.At first, the other party was very vigilant, and asked Paul in detail about the term and purpose of borrowing money, and said that he only charged 1% interest.Paul was pleasantly surprised, and quickly asked if he needed to meet and sign an agreement.The other party said that there is no need to meet, they will go to a certain bank to check Paul's credit record, if there is no bad credit record, they can remit the money to his account in one go.Upon hearing this, Paul felt that the other party's request was reasonable, so he readily told the other party his relevant information.

The next day, Paul deposited another $3 in the bank account as required by the other party to "prove his ability to repay."Then, the other party again asked Paul to open mobile banking and bind the bank card to the other party's mobile phone number on the grounds of investigating the credit record.Paul still didn't arouse his vigilance, and was dragged down step by step like this.After Mo finished all the procedures of mobile banking, he found that the other party's mobile phone was turned off.When I went to the bank to check, only a fraction of 3 dollars was left on the 10 dollars in the account. It turned out that the bank card password he set was his birthday.

Therefore, one should not blindly be "innocent". The probability of being deceived is obviously higher. Those who never lie will trust people's words, and those who never lie will trust character.Being deceived is not necessarily because people are stupid, but more likely because they are kind.There are two kinds of people who are often spared: those who have been taught, who have suffered themselves; and those who are naturally treacherous, who are used to calculating others.

Some scammers can always find people's weakest link, and then elaborately design, so that you will fall into his trap without knowing it.Of course, there are also some liars whose tricks are not very clever, but you have been fooled, which only shows your stupidity.

You know, in this society, there are all kinds of people.Just like a popular saying now - when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds.Scammers always take advantage of a weakness in people to get money.

However, keep in mind that scammers are usually shy of the sun.Therefore, in order to prevent being cheated, and at the same time let those who really need help get help, drag people who are not sure whether they are liars into the sun, and the liars will show their true colors.

§§§ Section [-] Decreased Judgment Ability
When people are in a state of fear, their ability to think and judge is reduced, and it is easier to trust others, and even treat some people with ulterior motives as life-saving straws.

The FBI once cited an article "Rouge" in the famous Chinese book "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio", in which it recorded a typical story of solving a case by arousing the strong fear of criminals.

A second-rate young man pretends to be Yan Zhi's lover and comes to her secretly. Yan Zhi's father catches the gangster. During the fight between the two, Yan Zhi's father is killed and runs away.But Rouge didn't know who was in the garden that night, and in grief, she spoke out the young man she missed in her heart.

Young people are sentenced to death.However, some doubts were found when the case was reviewed, so the investigation was resumed.The real culprit, the second-rate man, was found, because there was no direct and conclusive evidence to prove that this person was related to the murder.So this person has been denying and refusing to plead guilty.
