Inconsistencies
You will know a person is lying when he or she is telling an inconsistent story. You can do this by asking them a particular detail from their story. When people lie they tend to forget all the details that they had furnished the first time, thereby making new claims and changing their stories multiple times. Inconsistent story means a lie!

Ask the Unexpected
No matter how difficult it is, if you want to catch a liar, ask him or her a question that is least expected. Ask it out of the blue and you will know by his or her expressions and hesitation that he or she is lying. They will be caught in their own tangle that they have been weaving when they are asked something uncomfortable out of the blue. Image Source: gettyimages.in
Asking about Time
Liars are always paying more attention to their story and forgetting to pay any heed to the time. Time is very important, when you ask a liar about the time of a particular event, he or she will get very hazy. Furthermore, they will find it very annoying that you are asking them about specific time. Image Source: gettyimages.in
Make up a Situation
This is a sure winner. If someone tells you that he was at a particular place which you doubt then you need to make up a story of your own in order to find out the truth. If your son says to you that he was watching a movie somewhere which you doubt, then you should say, "Oh, but wasn't there a fire nearby? I saw it on the news!". If he was really there then he would retort saying, "no! what fire? I was there, it was fine!". But if he was not there then he will agree with you regarding the fire situation.

Ask in a Funny Way
When you ask something in a funny manner, the other person tend to losen up. In the process he or she would be lying in a weak manner. The attempt to make his or her statement the final truth would be gone and there will come a softness in the voice. Your suspect is now lying but thinking whether he or she should come up with the truth. Image Source: gettyimages.in
Confusing Question
Ask something confusing, make the person confused. To do this you have to go back to his or her story and put your own inputs in it. If this person had said that he or she has had four drinks then add to the confusion later by asking, "So, you had three drinks last night?". Watch the person's reaction. Image Source: gettyimages.in
Ask for more Details
Get into the heart of the entire thing and ask for details, as many as you can. Ask details after details and watch if he or she is feeling uncomfortable. The more details you ask the more uncomfortable would you liar be. It is only a liar who would not know how to handle the details of an event that never happened in the first place.

Ask about Others
Ask your suspect why does he or she think that other people have different opinion. This would be interesting as this way you would know what he or she thinks of the other view point. The answer to this would be very entertaining as a liar will have a stupid explanation for this. Or he will just say, "I don't know!" Image Source: gettyimages.in
Ask for the Source
When you suspect is making a suggestion and feeding you a story you should ask him or her how they know all of this. Ask your liar the source of his or her information and you will be surprised to see that a liar will always tell something weird. Unconvering the source of a particular information will give you an insight on the the entire story.Image Source: gettyimages.in
