Today’s technology can be said to be very developed. Nowadays, cameras are installed in many important places. Some people can even install cameras in front of their homes if they need it. If someone commits a crime, As long as the suspect is captured on camera, the police will be able to capture the criminal's appearance and bring him to justice. In addition, when there is no surveillance camera to capture a criminal suspect, if there are witnesses, a profession called criminal profilers will come in handy. They can draw the suspect's appearance based on the descriptions of the witnesses, and then become Search for evidence of a suspect.
However, it was not so convenient in ancient times, because there was not such a high level of science and technology at that time, so the technical conditions were not so good. However, in many costume dramas, when the government wanted to arrest a prisoner, they would You can look for someone everywhere with a wanted poster, but the key is that you can still find them in the end. But at that time, there could be no photos on the wanted posters, and the drawings were extremely sloppy. On what basis did they arrest people? In fact, it’s easy to understand.
At that time, there was indeed no such professional title as criminal profiler, but there were also people who were good at painting who would draw prisoners for the government. The portraits on the wanted posters were naturally made by them. You have to say how similar they are in their paintings, but it doesn’t really matter. However, they are very good at focusing on the characteristics. The main characteristics are still drawn, and the most essential parts are not lost. Therefore, with the characteristics, the government can further narrow down the review. range.
After arresting all the suspects with this characteristic, the government will begin to interrogate them. They will also observe the performance and demeanor of these people and exclude those who have alibi or are unlikely to have committed the crime. The last step is to use more evidence and other methods to lock down the prisoner. Therefore, although the painting does not look like it, after many tests, the prisoner cannot escape.
In addition, in ancient times, because transportation was underdeveloped, many people stayed in one place for their entire lives. Now we can still choose transportation methods such as high-speed rail and trains, but ancient people had nothing. Ancient people usually just walked wherever they went. Unless they were going far away, they would find other ways, and the expense was beyond the reach of most people. Therefore, the government does not need to worry about the prisoners absconding in a short period of time, because to be honest, those prisoners cannot go anywhere, unlike in modern times where the police may not pay attention to the prisoners and jump abroad.
In the eyes of the police, any case has its own golden hour. Beyond this time, the case will be difficult to solve. Ancient investigation took a lot more time than modern investigation, and the government can investigate more carefully. search. Therefore, the prime time for solving the case has been relatively extended, and it is not particularly difficult to solve the case during this period.
Also, ancient people often believed in metaphysics. For many things that science could not solve, they had to blame ghosts and gods. Therefore, most ancient people were very superstitious, and you can feel it from many common sayings. This, for example, killing people to pay debts, repaying retaliation, etc. Therefore, if they break the law, they will never be able to feel at ease, especially those who kill people. Basically, every day is very painful. of. When faced with routine interrogations by officials, many prisoners would look unnatural and speak hesitantly. Those officials had seen so many prisoners and were very experienced, so they could quickly find out that something was wrong. Regarding this matter, there are actually records in many ancient books and documents. When interrogated in such a tense atmosphere, most people would have already collapsed.
You will find that it is not more difficult to investigate crimes in ancient times because of low technical level. Although many portraits look outrageous, they are also very helpful in solving cases. Therefore, when you follow some costume dramas, don’t feel strange and fake when you see those funny portraits, because this may be the true level of the portraits at that time.
Another thing to say is that the thoughts of ancient people were not as rigid as we imagined. Even if the conditions are simple, he can still come up with an effective way to catch criminals, which is really amazing. Therefore, technology is not the only thing that can be relied on. When technology has not yet developed, people can also solve those things smoothly.
Coupled with modern high technology, no matter how powerful criminals are, there is no way to escape. In addition to the Sky Eye system, a lot of information is now networked across the country. After the suspect's identity is figured out, he will definitely be caught and face legal trial and sanctions.
