6 secret techniques of private detectives that will come in handy in real life.

The Russian Detective TV channel found out the professional techniques of detectives and, together with the most famous Russian authors of action-packed novels and private detectives, compiled a list of six layhacks that will be useful in everyday life.

1. How to find out that a person is lying

Detectives advise paying attention to non-verbal body language. When a person deceives, he involuntarily takes a closed position: crosses his arms over his chest, touches his hands to his face, tries not to look into the eyes.
The head of the detective agency, Alexandra Garusova, also advises asking the person to tell the story in the opposite direction. "When a person lies, then from beginning to end he tells the story smoothly, very truthfully, in small details. But if a person is asked to tell the story from end to beginning, it will be confused, confused, the person will stumble, small details will be lost," She says.


2. How to know that you are being followed

If you feel like someone is following you, use the good old shop window trick. Pretend that you are looking for something in your bag, look in your phone, mirror or shop window. Remember who passes by you. If you see the same person several times, you probably really have a "tail" behind you.
Also, the author of detective stories, Tatyana Polyakova, recommend changing your route so that the actions are unpredictable. "If you are on the subway, then go one way and then abruptly the other. And see if the same people are following you," she says.
Alexandra Garusova advises using the same method when moving by car: "If you are driving, then you need to slow down a little and see if the car that you have already seen is overtaking you. Or, as an option, enter an alley that is not matches your standard route. "

3. Train your memory

Anyone can improve their memory, it is enough to apply some techniques. One of the most effective methods is the use of images and associations. Remember what your spouse left home in in the morning, and during the day try to remember what details were in the image. Try to remember the phone numbers of your friends. You can also use the "Loki Method" (from the Latin locus - location). Its essence is that it is easier to remember a location than any fact. "I imagine my memory as boxes: a wardrobe divided into multi-colored shelves. And all the information is stored there. After a while, you take this information from the shelf. It is very effective," Garusova notes.

4. Listen to other people

One of the main skills of a detective is the ability to listen and hear. The writer Tatyana Ustinova says: “Do not be afraid to ask questions, and most importantly, listen carefully to the answers, because, as a rule, we ask questions not in order to hear the answer, but in order to ask a question. And this is wrong. what the interlocutor says in response. How he explains this or that action. "


5. Check any information

Information can be considered truthful if it is confirmed by three independent sources. This old scouting rule can still be applied today. Collect data before buying, making a deal, signing a contract, or getting a job. Social networks and online services will allow you to check a car, apartment or person without actually leaving your home.


6. Be attentive to detail

Detectives are constantly developing and improving in themselves such an important quality as observation. Her training begins with everyday things that have become so familiar that we hardly see them. "I even have a test. I very often ask my friends to list the number of houses on your side of the street and how many floors there are in the house. And now people live for 15-20 years in one place, and this question is bewildering, people get lost. We are like we see, but we do not see, "says the writer Tatyana Polyakova.
