Police officers, while patrolling a shopping center, detained a girl who, according to them, was stealing wallets from visitors. Based on surveillance cameras, the police were unable to detect the theft and during a search, no belongings were found on her, although several witnesses identified her. It was decided to interrogate her with a lie detector.
The girl was taken into a special interrogation room and sat in a chair. Her wrists were handcuffed to prevent her from resisting. Blood pressure cuffs were placed on her forearms to monitor the girl’s body’s reaction during the interrogation.
-What are you doing, why all this? – she asked.
“This is to establish whether you really stole wallets from visitors to the shopping center,” answered the interrogating officer.
-I'm uncomfortable! - said the girl.
“You will have to be patient, we really need to establish whether you are involved in the thefts or not,” the officer said.
“So from now on, you answer only my questions and nothing else,” the policeman said in a demanding tone.
The policeman pressed a button and a hum was heard. The cuffs on the girl's shoulders began to expand and became tighter and tighter. After 30 seconds, the hum died down and the tonometer began beeping, it began to measure pressure. When the cuffs deflated, the pressure value appeared on the monitor – “110/70”.
-So let's begin. Your name? – asked the officer.
“Yumiko Shimada,” the girl said.
-According to the testimony of witnesses, you are accused of stealing wallets from 3 people. What can you say about this?
Suddenly a hum was heard and the cuffs began to inflate again. Having measured the girl’s blood pressure again, the numbers appeared on the monitor: “130/88.”
“I can’t say anything about this, I didn’t do it,” she said.
-But the witnesses described you accurately. There’s no point in denying it,” the officer said.
“Perhaps they were mistaken,” the girl answered.
“According to the indicators of the detector, you may be lying,” the officer added and pressed a button on the device.
The cuffs began to inflate again and squeeze the girl’s forearms. The pressure was measured 3 times and was 143/91.
“You’re trying to deceive us,” the officer said.
-I don’t know what you’re talking about, I didn’t commit theft.
–According to the device, your pulse and blood pressure are increasing. Therefore you are lying. Now you will be sent to a temporary detention center, and we will continue the investigation. You will act as a suspect.
The officer removed the girl's blood pressure cuffs and led the girl out of the room.
