There are four possibilities--

If Peter is the one who lies, and you asked Peter if Paul is the one who lies, he would lie and say yes.

If Peter is the one who lies, and you asked Paul if Paul is the one who lies, he would tell the truth and say no.

If Paul is the one who lies, and you asked Peter if Paul is the one who lies, he would tell the truth and say yes.

If Paul is the one who lies, and you asked Paul if Paul is the one who lies, he would lie and say no.

In both cases where the answer is "Yes," you're speaking to Peter.
You spoke to Peter.
Paul.
Peter obviously, because you asked about paul
Peter.
This is definitely a trick question...........I'll say Paul.
