How does an interrogation mislead the truth of a real crime? This paper aims to provide a register of the interrogation which has extracted a false confession from a suspect. The systemic functional grammar is used to analyze the language used by the police and the suspect investigating experiential, interpersonal and textual meaning of the text. The police play the initial role of progressing the text, while the suspect tends to respond to it. The police use more intricate clause complexes than the suspect. In terms of textual patterns, most of the themes are unmarked and the themes focus mainly on the suspect and the killer. Interpersonal patterns show that the police give commands, ask questions and warn the suspect, whereas the suspect uses a declarative mood most frequently. With respect to experiential patterns, material processes are often found in both the police and the suspect’s texts. The suspect selects more circumstances relating to the crime.
