Chapter 682: Some People's Information Is Classified

The matter she helped him with last time, she hadn't forgotten... Now Yu Dazhang was somewhat at a loss.

If she hadn't forgotten, why had two days passed and still no reply?

"It's the same matter as last time."

Yu Dazhang answered truthfully:

"I'm not exactly in a hurry, but last time I saw you took the call just after waking up, so I was afraid you might have forgotten, and thus called to remind you."

After these words, Ye Lin on the other end of the phone fell silent.

Yu Dazhang was not in a hurry either; he pressed the phone to his ear and waited patiently.

After roughly ten-plus seconds, Ye Lin's voice came through again:

"Just now, there was someone beside me; it wasn't convenient to speak."

Immediately, she spoke in a low voice:

"Your matter is a bit troublesome; no relevant personnel were matched in the big data. I am thinking of other methods; give me a little more time."

No match in the big data? Yu Dazhang had considered all possibilities, yet this one was the only one he hadn't thought of.

This time, he had asked Ye Lin to check on four people.

Three were domestic, one was foreign.

If it were the foreign one, it might be understandable that the big data found no match.

But for the domestic ones to have no match, that was somewhat ridiculous.

Anyone who has handled an identity card will have data generated in the database.

Could those three people all be unregistered households without identity cards?

How is that possible!

As long as one is within the country, lacking an identity card makes moving almost impossible; wherever one goes, one encounters obstacles.

Travel, medical care, accommodation, and even shopping require identity information.

"Did they undergo plastic surgery?"

Yu Dazhang maintained his posture of holding the call, his mind working:

"Or perhaps their identities were deliberately erased, making them unregistered households?"

For the moment, these were the only two possibilities he could think of.

It wasn't that his imagination was insufficient, but evading the big data surveillance network was too difficult.

He even felt the second possibility was somewhat ridiculous.

To erase identity information within the big data, what immense power would be required to achieve that?

At least among the people he had encountered so far, no one possessed such capability.

"It should be neither."

Ye Lin responded in a low voice:

"I have considered both possibilities you mentioned."

"First, for the four photos you sent, I had someone here perform technical processing."

"While ensuring sufficient clarity, I also found experts in the relevant field to conduct facial identification on the people in the photos."

Her tone was firm:

"After analysis and comparison, it can be confirmed that there are no traces of plastic surgery on the faces of those four people."

Ye Lin paused slightly, then continued:

"Having one's identity information erased in the big data is even more impossible."

"As long as they have been recorded, traces will inevitably remain; even if identity information is erased, some clues will be left behind. It is absolutely impossible to make it seamless."

From her well-organized words, one could hear how seriously she was taking this matter.

She was even considering things more meticulously than Yu Dazhang.

"Then where is the problem?"

Yu Dazhang's words sounded as if he were asking Ye Lin, yet also as if he were talking to himself.

The participant is confused.

No matter how high one's intelligence, one cannot escape these four words.

Ying Xuelian, with an IQ of 175, sees everything clearly, yet cannot see herself clearly; this is a living example.

"I think the main reason it cannot be found in the big data is that my authority is insufficient."
