In criminal cases, especially the suspect decides whether to retract the confession. There is no distinction between good and bad. The suggestion is to tell the truth of the case. If the suspect is innocent, the guilty confession in the investigation stage is obviously unfavorable to him and the confession is beneficial to him. If the suspect is guilty and recants his confession, the police have other evidence to prove the facts of the crime, but it is not good for him. Therefore, the consequences of confession are judged according to the legality of confession. If the confession is made out of innocence, the investigation organ and the procuratorial organ will review it and get a fair result. If you escape out of guilt, you will not only fail to achieve your ideal goal, but also be punished for obstructing the lawsuit.

A criminal suspect shall truthfully answer the questions of investigators. However, we have the right to refuse to answer questions irrelevant to this case.
When interrogating a criminal suspect, investigators should inform the criminal suspect of his litigation rights and truthfully confess the legal provisions that his crime can be dealt with leniently and pleaded guilty and given a lighter punishment.
