"We didn't understand the situation before, but now that we do, we realize we were wrong," the two interrogators answered.
"Oh! I see," Lin Yifan said, suddenly enlightened. "However, I must admit your interrogation methods took me by surprise. Is everyone treated to your 'sticks' when you don't understand the situation?"
"How could that be? We were just joking with you, please don't take it seriously," the two interrogators quickly explained.
Coercive interrogation was, after all, Director Zheng's idea, so they couldn't confess the truth no matter what unless they wanted to lose their jobs.
"Is that so? Then your act was indeed too realistic; it almost frightened me," Lin Yifan repeatedly remarked, oozing sarcasm.
He didn't believe the nonsense from these two interrogators; such interrogation methods must have been in place for a long time, likely established by the hypocritical Director Zheng himself.
