Chapter 6 Section 5 How the FBI develops information through changes in eyebrows

When we communicate with others, we will consciously or unconsciously look at the "face" of others.If the other party gives a "good face", it means that the communication between the two parties is smooth; if the other party's "face" is not so good, it means that things are not going smoothly, and there are certain differences between the two parties.When we communicate with others, we should not only observe other people's "face", but also observe their "eyebrows", because it occupies a very important position in people's "face". "Brows" can not only convey affection, but also allow us to see a person's character.For example, people with thick eyebrows are mostly honest and honest, warm and generous, and belong to the positive personality; Not arbitrary; people with straight eyebrows are confident and enthusiastic, witty and smart, and have keen eyesight; people with light eyebrows are stable, smart, and like to think independently.Therefore, FBI expert Jack believes that it is very important to be good at observing the "face" of the other party when communicating with others, especially the dynamics of their eyebrows.At the same time, he also pointed out that eyebrows can have more than 20 kinds of dynamics, and different dynamics have different emotions and different psychological activities, and summed up the 5 most basic dynamics of eyebrows and the inner activities conveyed by them.

The first eyebrow movement that Jack came up with was frowning.'We all know people frown when they're violated, when they're scared,' he said.This is because when people encounter danger or aggression, the eyebrows will instinctively protect the eyes. Just lowering the eyebrows is not enough, and the cheeks under the eyes will be squeezed up to provide the greatest protection for the eyes, but the eyes still remain open. Turning on and paying attention to the outside world, he formed a frowning movement.This upward and downward squeezing action is the most typical avoidance reaction when a person faces an external attack.

Frowns mostly represent worry and confusion.A worried person with a deep frown, basically trying to escape his current situation, but unable to do so for some reason. One morning, Mr. Robert, the president of the insurance company, was walking in the garden of the villa as usual when he was suddenly shot and killed by a masked assassin. After hearing the news, FBI Sergeant Richardson found in the safe of the deceased that Mr. Robert's death may have something to do with his two brothers and a brother-in-law.So Sheriff Richardson came to the home of Mr. Robert's brother-in-law Cole and began to investigate.

Cole had just woken up and was exercising in the garden.Sheriff Richardson said to him: "Mr. Cole, your brother was killed just now." As soon as Cole heard it, he yelled in horror: "Impossible! I was with Robert last night and died in just one night. It's incredible!" Sheriff Richardson nodded and said, "Mr. Robert is indeed dead. We hope you can provide some clues." Cole pondered for a moment and said: "The relationship between Robert and his two brothers is very tense. The elder brother had a very tense dispute with him because of family wealth. He heard that he would appeal to the court for judgment. The younger brother seemed to have an ambiguous relationship with his wife. He was very annoyed. He threatened to take revenge on his younger brother, and in my opinion, both brothers had a motive to kill."

Sheriff Richardson listened carefully to his narration, then looked him over from head to toe and said, "Mr. Cole, why don't you talk about your own situation? Don't you always envy Mr. Robert's money and power? " When Cole heard this, he quickly frowned, and said angrily, "Please don't talk nonsense, I don't deny it, but you can't believe that I am the murderer!" "Don't be too naive, the most suspicious person is none other than you!" Sheriff Richardson said. Cole tried his best to hide it, but he still couldn't hide his inner panic. He frowned and scolded Sheriff Richardson angrily.However, Richardson got a positive answer from his series of expressions and furrowed brows.Sure enough, after careful first investigation, the murder weapon was found in Cole's house.

Jack said that the reason why Sheriff Richardson determined that Cole was the murderer of Mr. Robert was because Sheriff Richardson was very good at observing the other party's non-verbal information.Richardson had determined that Cole was lying after a series of observations during the conversation with Cole.Because Mr. Robert's family has three brothers, when Sheriff Richardson went to Cole's house, he did not tell Cole who the deceased was, but Cole said that the deceased was Mr. Robert.This means that Cole must have known in advance.Sheriff Richardson seized this flaw and continued the conversation. When he got to the point, Cole frowned. Through such a small non-verbal message, Sheriff Richardson further determined that Cole was the murderer. People's brows are only wrinkled when their mental activities fluctuate.

The second eyebrow movement that Jack came up with was the shrug.Brow shrugging, he said, is when the eyebrows are raised, held for a moment, and then lowered, often accompanied by a quick twitch of the corners of the mouth, with no apparent movement in the rest of the face.Shrugging sometimes expresses an unpleasant surprise, and sometimes expresses resignation.Also, people keep raising their eyebrows when emphasizing what he's saying. The third is to raise eyebrows slightly.Raising eyebrows is a gesture of greeting people at a little distance from each other.Jack thinks this gesture is to draw attention to his face, so that people know that he is saying hello to the other person.At the same time, it also shows that you have an attitude of approval for the person who appears in front of you.And this action is likely to be associated with emotions of surprise and fear, as if you were saying "I was shocked and scared to see you", which could also be interpreted as "I am in awe of you and have a crush on you".Jack reminded everyone that if you like the other person, raise your eyebrows slightly; if you want the other person to like you, raise your eyebrows slightly.

The fourth point is to raise eyebrows.Raising eyebrows is an instant expression, which may happen in an instant and disappear in a flash.Jack explained that if the eyes of the two parties are raised slightly, the non-verbal message sent is that the two parties are lying to the third party.Regarding this point, Jack thought of a classic case, which he said was a good illustration of this problem. In the 1930s, two gangsters robbed the banks of states in the Midwest of the United States.They are the famous Dillinger and Peel.In order to establish the public image of the FBI as invincible, Dillinger and Peele must be arrested as soon as possible.As a result, Dillinger and Peele were listed as "Public Enemy No. 1", and the FBI issued a wanted warrant to the whole country.

FBI Director Hoover sends Officers Cowley and Purvis with a special arrest team to fortify the Chicago office.Chief Hoover ordered the two officers: "Keep an eye on Dillinger and Peale. Go wherever there is a clue. Arrest everyone who has even the slightest relationship with them. Take them alive if you can." One day, a woman named Saiqi called Police Officer Pavis. She was a madam at a brothel in Indiana when the government was preparing to deport her to her native Romania on charges of "immorality."In return, she is willing to hand over one of the brothel's regular customers, her friend Dillinger, if the government agrees to stop the legal process.Pavis and Cowley were overjoyed, and hurriedly promised that they would try their best to help her, and quickly organized a capable team. On the evening of the 22nd, they received a call from Sai Qi. Dillinger was going to watch a movie with Sai Qi at the O'Graff Theater in Chicago.They agreed to set up an ambush nearby, when Sage would wear a red suit as a marker.Purvis repeatedly told his staff: "Gentlemen, you know the characteristics of Dillinger. If we find him and let him escape, it will be a very embarrassing thing for us at the FBI."

The movie ended, and the audience poured out of the theater doors, Purvis searching every face carefully. At around 10:30, Dillinger walked out of the theater door unconsciously, followed by Sage in red and another woman named Polly.Agent Winstead followed closely behind. Polly noticed that the situation was not good, and quickly reminded Dillinger.Dillinger pushed away the two women beside him, turned around and drew a gun from his arms.It's too late!He had been put on the head with a gun by several agents, so he had to drop the gun and catch him without a fight. A few days later, another FBI team captured Dijlin's accomplice Peel in California.

Under the interrogation of FBI agents, the two confessed to the crime of robbing the bank.But when the agents asked them if they had any accomplices, they both denied it.This is a headache for the agents. If they do not admit that the other party is their accomplice, the case will not be closed. When everyone was at a loss, the director ordered Dijlin and Peel to be brought into the interrogation room.Then he ordered the agents to ask some questions unrelated to the case, and asked the two to answer them separately.When the two of them heard that there were some trivial problems, they gradually relaxed their vigilance.The agent suddenly said: "Dear Mr. Dijlin, the Mr. Peel sitting across from you is your accomplice, isn't it?" After a few clicks, Peel also issued the same action signal at the same time.Then, Dijlin smiled and said to the agent: "Dear officer, I don't know him!" At this time, the agent was livid with anger.But Director Hoover, who was standing outside the window, noticed all of Dijlin's movements and expressions. Through a small movement of his eyebrows, Director Hoover got the answer.Tell your men that Dijjerin is lying, tell him about the eyebrows, break through his psychological defenses.Sure enough, Dijlin thought that the trick of using eyebrows to convey information had been seen through by the secret agents, so he completely confessed that he and Peel were accomplices. The last eyebrow movement that Jack came up with was the raised eyebrow.He believes that when we communicate with others, if the other person's eyebrows are raised together, it means that the other person is very happy or extremely surprised; if one eyebrow is raised, it means that the other person does not understand what we are saying; If we change, it means that the other party is extremely suspicious of what we have said. Based on these points, Jack reminds us that when talking with someone, if the other person raises their eyebrows, you must not think that it is just an accidental phenomenon, but you must seriously consider the reasons.Because in the natural state, it is impossible for people to have a raised eyebrow and a constant expression. For example, when you communicate with others, if he says "Oh, that's right." But raises an eyebrow consciously or unconsciously, it means that he doesn't fully believe you.Because he only shows such an expression when he doubts you.In the process of talking with the other party, if he raises his eyebrows frequently, it means that he is confused about what you said, and it also means that you are gradually losing his trust. Finally, Jack reminded us that these non-verbal skills can be used in daily communication and communication, or to emphasize key points, or to express satisfaction and confidence in self-statement, or to figure out the true thoughts of the other party .In this way, when we communicate with others, it will become much smoother. "Eyebrows" can express feelings. Not only can a person's personality be seen from his eyebrows, but also his psychological dynamics can be understood through the dynamics of his eyebrows.
