Part two signs of deceit, the four tell tale signs of deceit signed for after the conversation Wolf.
I'm glad that's over with.
Watch and listen carefully, because after the conversation, notice if the subject becomes happy that
the conversation has changed.
Does he appear more relaxed?
He may even offer a smile or a nervous laugh.
Notice this posture.
Does he become less defensive, more at ease?
The giveaway here is how fast and dramatically his mood changes, indicating his discomfort with the
previous subject matter.
So you can test to see how quick he is to want to change the subject, because if he's been accused
of something downright awful and he is innocent, he is going to assert that the accusation is unfair
and insist that the topic be explained further or either now or at some future date.
Remember, the guilty person wants the subject change as quickly as possible in the conversation to
end.
The innocent person always wants a further exchange of information and want the conversation to continue
to the point of clarity for both of you.
Now, in non-criminal situations where there's a personal element, you can turn up the heat a bit by
forcing the conversation to an uncomfortable end.
For instance, let's say you think your mother in law may have hired a private investigator to follow
you around.
I know a real hypothetical.
First, you tell her something that you both know to be true.
I know you're not very fond of me and you objected to the wedding right from the beginning.
But this time, you've gone too far.
Next, you state your assumption, I know all about the investigation.
Why did you think that that was necessary?
And now the magic phrase, you know what, I'm just too upset to talk about this.
Now, if she becomes quiet, she's probably guilty.
Probably if she has no idea what you're talking about, you can be sure that she doesn't care that you're
becoming upset and don't want to talk about it because you have no reason to be upset.
The guilty person will honor your request because he or she doesn't want to anger you further.
And an innocent person will be mad at you for accusing them of something that they haven't done and
will want to discuss it further.
