Chapter 901

.

From the internal network of the South Yue Nation's National Security Bureau, Shi Lei had obtained information on a gold mine worth 07 billion Xia Guoyuan. Logically speaking, Shi Lei should have been very happy. However, in reality, Shi Lei was not very happy.

The information on a gold mine worth fifty-two billion dollars was placed in front of Shi Lei, giving him the illusion that the Nanyue State had deliberately given it to him.

Why did he think so?

Why was such an important piece of information only kept on the third level of security? It could have been kept on a higher level of security, where it would have been better protected.

Not only that, but the information on the gold mine was encrypted using a normal long password. This made Shi Lei very puzzled. According to the value of the information, it was definitely worth using a special encryption scheme. It was even worth developing a separate encryption scheme for it.

Could it be that this information is fake? Shi Lei secretly guessed the authenticity of this information. If this information was fake, and the Nanyue State had planted spies in the corresponding area, wouldn't it be a carefully arranged trap?

As long as someone went to the relevant area to investigate, they would have obtained the information on the gold mine. The Nanyue State would then be able to follow the clues to find the culprit who had invaded the Nanyue State Security Bureau.

The more Shi Lei thought about it, the more he felt that this was a possibility. However, Shi Lei could not understand how the Nanyue State Security Bureau had been able to prepare such detailed information in such a short period of time. After all, Shi Lei had analyzed the information on the document. The date of the document's creation was not newly created. It had been created more than a year ago. Furthermore, the last time it had been modified was half a year ago.

Although the creation and modification times of the document could be modified using special methods, Shi Lei's investigation method was different from normal methods. If the time had been modified, Shi Lei would have been able to find it. The current situation was that the creation and modification times of the document were completely normal. There was no flaw at all.

Shi Lei did not believe that he would not be able to find out if someone had changed the creation and modification time of the document.

If this document was fake, then was the person in charge of the South Vietnamese National Security Bureau a cyber security expert as their main occupation and an astrologer or prophet as their secondary occupation?

Otherwise, why would they have started preparing this document a year ago?

Judging from the time the document was created and modified, Shi Lei had reason to believe that this document was authentic. However, how could the Nanyue State Security Bureau treat such a valuable and confidential document so carelessly?

'Nanyue State's fans, what do you mean by this?' Shi Lei thought to himself.

"Izur, extract the time nodes from the gold mine documents. Create a timeline based on the time of the document's creation!" Shi Lei instructed Izur.

Shi Lei could investigate every time the document was modified. Based on these time nodes, Shi Lei could create a timeline. Then, Shi Lei could investigate further based on this timeline.

"Sir, the timeline has been created," Izur reminded Shi Lei.

Shi Lei thought for a while before instructing Izur, "Izur, mark out the location of the gold mine. With the gold mine as the center, search for all the roads that can lead to the gold mine."

The gold mine was located at the border between Nanyue State and Xia Xia. Most of the gold mine was distributed within Xia Xia's borders. The Nanyue State's exploration team would not take a helicopter to the gold mine. This was because if the Nanyue State's helicopter approached Xia Xia's borders, they would definitely be warned by Xia Xia. It might even be seen as a provocation by Xia Xia.

The Nanyue State's exploration team would also not choose to travel by foot. The equipment needed to explore the gold mine would be very unscientific if they relied on manpower to carry it.

The Nanyue State's exploration team could only choose to travel by road!

Izur followed Shi Lei's instructions and marked out the possible routes on the map displayed on the projector. However, the gold mine was located in a remote area. The nearest road was about ten kilometers away.

Shi Lei frowned slightly. 'Ten kilometers? That's not too far! '

"Izur, search for all the surveillance cameras along the possible routes. Extract all the surveillance footage and check the driving records within the timeline. Analyze the license plate numbers and record down the license plate numbers that appear repeatedly," Shi Lei instructed Izur and asked Izur to perform the basic analysis.

What Shi Lei had just instructed was definitely a very troublesome task. If humans were to carry out this task, not only would they need to expend a lot of manpower, but they would also need to consider whether humans would make mistakes. When carrying out such a boring task, humans would usually make mistakes.

Izur carried out Shi Lei's orders. First, he found the route that met the criteria and then checked the surveillance cameras along the route. This task took some time for Izur. After about five minutes, Izur finally sent a message back to Shi Lei, indicating that the task was completed.

"Sir, because it took too long, we only managed to find a portion of the surveillance footage. Some of the surveillance footage at certain points in time could not be found," Izur replied to Shi Lei.

Shi Lei nodded. "Continue with the next step of the analysis!"

Izur began to analyze the surveillance footage. From all the surveillance footage, he searched for the license plate numbers that appeared repeatedly within the timeline.

While Izur was comparing the information, Shi Lei was not idle either. Shi Lei was optimizing the 'deep recovery' software. This software was what Shi Lei used to make a living in his previous life! In his previous life, Shi Lei mainly relied on recovering data for his living expenses and university tuition.

After about half an hour, Izur finally completed the comparison, but the results were not good!

"Sir, according to the starting point of the timeline and the ending point, within the timeline, there were no license plate numbers that were repeated more than three times in the surveillance footage. There were a total of four cars that appeared with the license plate numbers that were repeated twice. Two of the cars were small sedans. According to the license plate numbers, these two sedans were from the Xia Xia region. The owners were Xia Xia citizens who entered Nanyue State with tourist visas. "

Izur continued, "As for the other two cars, one of them was a Nanyue State military vehicle. Based on the license plate numbers, it was a military jeep. The other car was a large transport vehicle, so there was no suspicion. There was no more information in the surveillance footage, so there was no way to determine the situation. "

Shi Lei smiled and said, "Izur, update the 'deep recovery' system. The update plan is complete." Shi Lei let Izur download the optimized deep recovery software into the main system.

"Sir, the update is complete." Izur quickly updated the deep recovery system.

"Izur, start the deep recovery system. Use the deep recovery system to recover all the records of the surveillance cameras that we just checked and deleted." Shi Lei instructed Izur again to recover the records of the security cameras.

The records of the security cameras were stored in the corresponding hard drive. Although the records were deleted, the deleted records could still be retrieved from the bottom layer of the hard drive.

These kinds of records could not be erased at all. They could only be erased by repeated low-level formatting. If it was only high-level formatting, it would not succeed.

Shi Lei optimized the deep recovery software to recover the records of the security cameras so that he could determine more information. Another half an hour passed. It was already two o 'clock in the morning on the fourth of June. Shi Lei's drowsiness seemed to have completely overtaken him.

Before Shi Lei fell asleep, Izur finally finished the analysis again. This time, Izual managed to get his hands on the almost complete CCTV records. Through the matching records, he found that three of the vans appeared seven times in the timeline.

"Did you find out the identities of the three vans' owners?" Shi Lei asked.

Izur projected the identities of the three vans' owners on the projector. Shi Lei checked the identities of the three people and did not find anything strange about them.

'That's strange. This can't be right!' Shi Lei thought to himself. "Izur, check if the three vans have a GPS system."

In his previous life, most vehicles had a GPS system. However, in 7552, most vehicles did not have a GPS system.

"Sir, the three vans of the targets do not have a GPS system," Izur replied to Shi Lei.

Shi Lei was a little depressed. If Izur found that the three vans had a GPS system, then Shi Lei could log into the GPS system with level three administrative access and investigate the driving records of the three vans.

As long as he could check the driving records of the three vans, he would know if they had been near the gold mine. If the three vans had been to the vicinity of the gold vein, and had been there many times, then it naturally proved that there was at least something suspicious near the gold vein, and it wasn't something that the South Vietnamese National Security Bureau had made up.

However, the vehicles that Izur had found through the comparison of the license plates did not have a GPS system. Therefore, he could not know if they had been near the gold mine.

'D * mn it, is this information real or fake? ' Shi Lei roared in his heart. If this information was fake, Shi Lei would not let the Nanyue State off so easily.

If this was real information, Shi Lei would use this information to obtain a suitable benefit for himself.

"Izur, can you check the location of the closest surveillance camera to the gold mine?" Shi Lei asked Izur.

Izur immediately replied, "Sir, the closest surveillance camera to the gold mine is more than twenty kilometers away."

"Idiot Izur, looks like I have to use another method to confirm the results!" Shi Lei had another method in mind, but it was a little dangerous.
