In some dark rooms, from the walls to the tables to the lamps placed on the freezers, there was a cold metallic sheen.
Obviously, this is not a comfortable guest room, nor is it a slightly business-like company office. The depressing atmosphere here is artificially created, and its purpose is to bring more pressure to people.
The whole room is divided into two parts. There is a long counter in the middle. On one side is a single chair, and on the other side are several simpler chairs. It can be seen that sitting on the single
The person on the chair will sit here for a long time, but the person behind the counter will often rotate.
It looks a bit like an interrogation room, but there are no iron bars like a police interrogation room. The tables, chairs, and counters are all very close together. Instead, it looks a bit like a hospital clinic.
There was a "pop", the lights came on, and standing outside the door was a black man wearing an FBI uniform with a work badge around his neck.
Behind him, there was a female staff member standing. She was dressed slightly differently and looked like a field worker. She also had an investigator's work badge on her chest and a pistol on her waist.
Behind the two of them, there was another polite white man wearing glasses and a suit. He did not wear any ID and looked more like a scholar than an agent.
The black agent walked into the room, sat down on a simple chair on the side of the counter, took off his work badge from his neck, then took out his ID from his breast pocket, opened it, and said
The figure sitting on a single chair was shown.
"Hello, Professor Rodriguez, I am Jimmy Andres, a member of the FBI's Anti-Violent Crime Investigation Team. I was instructed by the U.S. Department of Justice and commissioned by the New Jersey State Board of Higher Education to investigate your previous public accusations.
, seven possible charges of violent crimes are being investigated.”
"This is my colleague, Angela Dodgson, deputy leader of the criminal investigation information collection team. Miss Dodgson will provide assistance in criminal investigation information collection for this investigation, and this person..." Jimmy pointed.
The white man wearing glasses sitting on his right said:
"William Denecht, an investigator with the Pennsylvania State Board of Higher Education's Malpractice Investigation Team, also works for the FBI Agent Selection and Education Center as a psychology and behavioral sciences training instructor."
William pushed up his glasses, looked at the figure on the single sofa and said: "I have long admired you, Professor Rodriguez. I will provide a behavioral science analysis report for this investigation, and make a judgment based on the evaluation results based on behavioral and psychological aspects."
I hope we can have a happy cooperation."
The black Jimmy nodded to William, glanced at Angela again, then took out a piece of paper from his briefcase, quickly browsed the contents, put down the paper, and looked up at the person sitting alone
Schiller on the sofa.
The professor was exactly the same as the photo on his personal information form. His figure, appearance, and dress were all correct. Then Jimmy handed the information form to Angela next to him. Angela picked up another piece of paper and entered it with the personal information form.
After comparing the information forms, he raised his head and said to Jimmy: "There is no abnormality in the handwriting and fingerprints of the signature. It can be confirmed that it is the person who came to the trial."
Jimmy put his hands on the table, looked into Schiller's eyes and said: "Professor Rodriguez, next, we will ask basic questions about the crimes you are accused of. During this period, you can only answer the questions, and you must
Answer directly, and then we will give you time to defend yourself."
It can be seen that Jimmy appears to be very cautious. Although the FBI's work style is always criticized, we have to admit that a superpower has its own advantages when conducting investigations and trials of anti-violence activities.
.
First of all, for all criminals who have been publicly accused, the FBI is subject to supervision from many parties during the investigation and trial of them. Especially when investigating and interrogating some people with sensitive identities, most of them will be very cautious.
At the same time, under the supervision of multiple parties, it can also mobilize multiple departments to cooperate and obtain theoretical support from talents in various disciplines and think tanks from various departments of society and the private sector, and it is very efficient.
Schiller took a look at the situation opposite. In addition to Jimmy, Angela and William, there was a recorder standing on each side of the counter.
One of them should be a civilian employee of the FBI, and the other should be from the Department of Justice. Both recorders faced Schiller with the purpose of recording Schiller's words and deeds.
Behind Schiller stood another recorder, facing Jimmy and other FBI agents, in order to record their words and deeds.
Crowding so many people into a small room not only ensures the correctness of the trial process, but also creates the feeling of being on an island for the interrogated person, which is a very common method of increasing stress during interrogations.
Schiller looked at Jimmy and nodded slightly. He could see that this black agent in his prime had a lot of experience, but the other two people sitting next to him were very interesting.
Schiller's eyes did not stay on the other two people for too long. Angela, who was sitting next to Jimmy, looked at the document and said in an indifferent tone: "The questions you answer next, your answers and attitude will be very important."
The result of the assessment is determined to a large extent, and you must answer 'truthfully'. Later, we will conduct a criminal lie detection on your words and deeds, and you will take full responsibility for this."
"Okay, let's get started."
"From the time you started teaching at Gotham University to the time you were investigated, have there been any illegal infringements against students in the psychology department or any other department?"
"No."
"Have you murdered any Gotham University students during the above time period?"
"No."
“Have any students been unlawfully detained?”
"No."
"Have you ever instigated students to commit crimes?"
"No."
Schiller's series of denials did not make the people behind the table feel surprised or angry. The purpose of this kind of interrogation was not to make the person on trial confess, but to observe his attitude and behavior.
Next, Jimmy began to ask for some details, and before asking, he said: "In the following questions, if you do not understand any of the criteria, you can ask questions."
"During your teaching career, have you ever had physical contact with any student against their will?"
"No."
"Has any student been verbally harassed against their will, either verbally or in writing?"
"No."
"Sorry, can I interrupt?" William, who was sitting next to Jimmy, said. Jimmy nodded. William looked at Schiller and said, "Have you ever used any commands to physically punish them?"
Schiller shook his head, and William then asked: "Have they ever been verbally humiliated in any public or private setting?"
"What is your definition of humiliation?" Schiller asked for the first time.
William and Jimmy looked at each other, and William rubbed his lips lightly and said, "According to Pennsylvania's Higher Education Act, any form of insulting students is against the regulations."
"But I have also taught at a university. The boundary between discipline and abuse is not so clear. If you want to urge students to study, harsh or even slightly violent words can be understood."
"Then, let's imagine a scenario. Suppose I am your student now. I make loud noises in class and disrupt the teaching order. What will you do?"
William stood up from behind the table, with one hand in his suit pocket. Schiller also stood up from the single chair, and when he looked at him, William instinctively took a step back.
"Mr. Denecht, is that so? I want you to stay quiet in my class. If you can't, please leave."
The record-keepers standing on both sides of the table began to record with pen speed. William nodded and said: "If I don't choose to leave, I still make noise after sitting down, and I don't change my ways despite repeated admonitions, what will you do?"
Schiller glanced at him, but then looked away and said to the open space: "Mr. Falcone, I don't want this Mr. Denecht to continue to stay in my class. Please help me persuade him."
leave."
William narrowed his eyes, looked at Schiller and asked: "Who is this Mr. Falcone, and what is his relationship with you?"
"He's another student of mine."
"Then how could he..."
Jimmy reached out and pulled William's sleeve, and lowered his voice and said to him: "He is the son of the old godfather Carmine Falcone. Falcone is the leader of the Twelve Gangster Family in Gotham."
William showed a speechless expression. He lowered his head and then said again: "Okay, so this time the scene is set in your office. A student who often fails to hand in homework is called to the office by you. What will you do?
Educate him?"
"Normally, I won't call students who don't hand in their homework to the office." Schiller shook his head slightly and said, "The first time they don't hand in their homework, I will tell them that learning is their own.
If they don't work hard enough, they won't be able to get out of their current situation."
"If they commit the crime a second time, I will call them to the podium at the end of get out of class and ask them if there is any special reason."
"What special reasons are acceptable?" William asked.
"Family affairs are busy, part-time job is too tiring, gang fights and injuries, homework is too difficult, homework is too easy, you don't like psychology or you don't like me." Schiller paused every time he said a reason, as if he was thinking.
William keenly discovered the key, so he looked at Schiller and said: "Is it acceptable for students to not do their homework because they don't like you?"
Schiller sat back on the chair, put his hands in front of him, nodded and said: "I try my best to teach students in accordance with their aptitude, but I accept the fact that not every student likes my teaching style."
"Because I am a psychologist, I can understand that it is very normal to be disgusted with someone's appearance, temperament, and behavior, which leads to doubts about him, and even to take rebellious behavior to resist.
,Humans are emotional animals.”
"If he abandons his studies because he doesn't like you, what will you do? Will you persuade him? Or give up on him?" William then asked.
Schiller's expression rarely fluctuated, as if he was lost in memories and thoughts. After a while, he said: "Actually, I don't know, there are differences depending on the individual students."
This time, before William could ask, Schiller took the initiative and said, "Not everyone has the talent to learn this subject. Students who don't learn well are often divided into several categories."
"If they work hard but have no talent, I will try my best to help them reach the passing mark and suggest them to learn some additional livelihood skills to strive for a better life for themselves."
"If they have talent but don't work hard, I will tell them truthfully from my perspective that they have great talent and can achieve success with a little effort. But if encouragement doesn't work, I will be as strict as possible.
I'm asking them because I don't want to see their talent wasted."
"And if they have neither talent nor hard work..." Schiller leaned back, pursed his lips, showed a helpless expression, and then said:
"In line with the teacher's responsibility to teach and educate people, I will persuade him to a certain extent and then give up. I will not waste too much time on him."
"But maybe... there are exceptions."
