Si Ye gave him a glance and smiled, "You probably can't tell right away, but we can. Listen again and see if there's anything wrong."
Si Ye played the tape again.
"Are you Chen Zhi?"
"Yes."
…
"So yesterday at noon, outside the World Trade Mall, was it you who pushed the Si Family's old master down the stairs?"
"…I pushed him…"
At this point, Si Ye hit pause and explained, "Did you hear that? Chen Zhi's response has pauses before and after because some words have been cut out. Although their technique is pretty good, there are still slight discrepancies."
The man thought it over carefully and indeed found something peculiar about that part.
Si Ye then pressed the play button again.
"You said earlier someone pushed you from behind, is that true or not?"
"…No."
He pressed pause again, "This time, there's also a pause before her response. It's not the pause of silence, but the pause where the tape skips at the splice."
