Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 686 Some people's information is confidential
She hadn't forgotten the favor she'd asked him for last time... Now Yu Dazhang was a little confused.

If you haven't forgotten, why haven't you replied after two days?
"It's the same thing as last time."

Yu Dazhang answered truthfully:
"I'm not in a hurry, it's just that I saw you answered the phone right after you woke up last time, and I was afraid you'd forgotten, so I called to remind you."

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

Yu Dazhang wasn't in a hurry. He held the phone to his ear and waited patiently.

About ten seconds later, Ye Lin's voice came again:

"There were people next to me just now, so it wasn't convenient to talk."

Then she whispered:
"Your situation is a bit complicated. No relevant person was found in the big data. I'm thinking of other solutions. Please give me some more time."

Couldn't find a match in the big data? Yu Dazhang considered all the possibilities, but this was the only one he hadn't taken into account.

This time, he asked Ye Lin to investigate four people.

Three are domestic, and one is foreign.

If we're talking about the overseas one, it's understandable that big data might not be able to match the data.

However, no matches were found in China, which is somewhat ridiculous.

Anyone who has ever applied for an ID card will have their data generated in the database.

Were those three people unregistered individuals without ID cards?

How can it be!

Within China, it's virtually impossible to move an inch without an ID card; you'll face obstacles wherever you go.

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

"Have they had plastic surgery?"

Yu Dazhang remained in the position of making the call, his mind racing:

"Or rather, their identities were deliberately erased, making them unregistered residents?"

For the time being, these are the only two possibilities he can think of.

It's not that he lacks imagination, but rather that escaping the surveillance network of big data is extremely difficult.

He thought the second possibility was a bit far-fetched.

How much power would it take to erase identity information from big data?

At least among the people he has met so far, none of them have this ability.

"It shouldn't be either of those."

Ye Lin responded in a low voice:
"I've considered both of the possibilities you mentioned."

"First of all, I had someone here do some technical processing on the four photos you posted."

"After ensuring sufficient clarity, I also consulted experts in the relevant field to conduct facial identification of the people in the photos."

Her tone was firm:

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

Ye Lin paused briefly, then continued:

"It's even more impossible for someone to erase your identity information in big data."

“As long as they have entered information, they will definitely leave traces. Even if their identity information is erased, some clues will still remain. It is impossible to be completely foolproof.”

From her well-organized words, you could tell that she took this matter very seriously.

She was even more meticulous in her considerations than Yu Dazhang.

"So where did the problem lie?"

Yu Dazhang's words sounded like he was asking Ye Lin, but also like he was talking to himself.

The authorities are fascinated.

No matter how high your IQ is, you can't escape these four words.

Ying Xuelian has an IQ of 175, which allows her to see things very clearly, except for herself. She is a living example of this.

"I think the main reason I can't find it in the big data is because I don't have enough permissions," Ye Lin's voice came again.
"I think you've heard that some people's identities are kept secret at the national level."

"For example, your current identity file is not something that anyone can see as they please. At least at my level, I have no way of finding any file about you."

Her words seemed to enlighten Yu Dazhang.

It seems that this is the only plausible possibility right now.

Yu Dazhang already knew that his file information had become a secret.

This is because he has offended too many people, and he was once retaliated against in broad daylight in the street.

Out of a desire to protect him, the municipal bureau specifically ordered the branch office to draft a written application requesting that his file be kept strictly confidential.

In this way, even if someone with malicious intent wants to obtain his information, they will be unable to do so due to the confidentiality of the file.

Could those four people be like me? Yu Dazhang suddenly had this absurd thought.

If they are like him, it means they are also government officials.

It's unlikely... Yu Dazhang felt that no matter how you looked at it, such a thing wouldn't happen.

To put it simply, if the authorities wanted to do something to him, they wouldn't need to do it secretly; they could just find any excuse to arrest him and investigate him.

#Comrade Yu Dazhang, thank you for your tremendous contributions to human medical care#
A white cloth was placed over his head.

nailed it.

There's no need to rack your brains over those schemes and tricks; it's completely unnecessary.

Who are the people who have access to state-level confidentiality?

Yu Dazhang is, after all, just a criminal police officer, and the scope of his influence is too small to compare with that of the National Security Bureau.

Therefore, from the perspective of the National Security Bureau, they will definitely have a broader vision than him.

Ye Lin remained silent for a long time on the other end of the phone, about twenty seconds before slowly speaking:
"The only people I can think of besides those with sensitive identities are top talents in various fields."

Her voice was somewhat low, as if she were thinking about something, and then she gave an example:
"For example, the two academicians at the 53rd Institute, their identity information is confidential. What we can see is only some of the general information. We can't find anything more in-depth."

Ye Lin paused briefly, then added:

"And then there's Ying Xuelian, she's basically being protected now."

"Not to mention you guys, even we need certain permissions to access her file."

The two examples she gave were very vivid, because Yu Dazhang had some understanding of both the two academicians and Ying Xuelian.

Take those two academicians for example; they are national treasures and should definitely be given special protection.

Let me tell you a true story.

On the evening of March 12, 2002, a group of thugs robbed a well-mannered middle-aged man.

In order to steal money for internet access, they stabbed the man to death.

Subsequent investigation revealed that the man was a highly influential figure in the agricultural sector.

Because of similar incidents, national-level researchers have implemented certain protective measures since then.

"I understand."

Yu Dazhang said after careful consideration:

"You mean their identity information is still in the big data, but it's hidden and requires certain permissions to view?"

If that's the case, then things will be quite difficult.

Of all the people he knew, the highest-ranking was Director Liu, but he obviously couldn't ask Director Liu for help with this kind of thing.

Those big shots are usually very cautious in their dealings with people, and they even have to translate their words from Chinese to Chinese. How could they possibly help a lowly detective check other people's files?

If something goes wrong, it would be a disaster.

Just as he was wondering who to ask for help, Ye Lin's voice came again:

"If you agree, I can tell Team Leader Li about this. I'm sure he'll have a way to find out."
