I need you to immediately give the AI model an instruction to search for Butler Tang’s traces in the ground network system. I want to see if we can locate his movement path during this time.
Because of the heavy investment, Ye Chen’s ground network system had long spread to major airports, docks, and stations worldwide.
Automatic vending machines in various countries had all been acquired by Ye family’s shell companies worldwide. The monitoring data from the vending machines was uploaded in real time to the vending machine operating company’s servers. While backing up in the servers, it was also synchronised to the AI model.
Every day, the AI model received monitoring information from hundreds of millions of travel instances worldwide. The model automatically recorded the faces captured by the vending machines, then automatically classified billions of people based on different facial features.
Although it didn’t know everyone’s name, it remembered the appearance of everyone it saw, then converted the facial features into data. Each facial feature had its own database. Whenever other cameras captured this facial feature, if the data matched, the subsequently captured information would also be classified into this facial feature’s database.
In this way, it naturally grasped a person’s entire movements.
For example, if the system first captured Zhang San at Jinling Airport, after recognising Zhang San, later when Zhang San appeared in Yanjing, Tokyo, New York, London, Paris, or even Afghanistan airports, it would be captured by the system, and the subsequent data would be automatically summarised.
In this way, Zhang San’s activity trajectory would be recorded.
With billions of people worldwide, such massive information collection, storage, and processing work required astonishing computing power and storage space. But fortunately, Ye Chen’s AI model had the world’s strongest computing power, so it could collect, store, and analyse calculations wantonly.
Information on hundreds of millions of passengers was recorded one by one by the AI model. However, many people’s information might just be stored and never called upon in a lifetime. But once needed, clues could certainly be found.
Unless, he never used public transportation.
But what Ye Chen didn’t expect was that the AI model had no matching information on Tang Sihai.
And Ye Chen could confirm that all airports in Australia had their vending machine equipment.
That meant Tang Sihai really hadn’t used public transportation!
Ye Chen suddenly felt a bit panicked, because he didn’t expect Tang Sihai to have such unfathomable abilities. Entering Australia, not only left no real identity entry records, but even his own image data wasn’t left behind!
He himself had used fake identities to go to other countries before, but in most cases, he still had to normally take flights and enter customs. As long as he took a flight, as long as he walked through the terminal, it was impossible not to leave video information.
Moreover, some vending machines were deliberately placed at customs and airport security checkpoints. Everyone there had to remove hats and masks. Facial information would inevitably be collected.
The AI model having no information on Tang Sihai proved he certainly didn’t go through the airport terminal.
Li Yalin instantly felt it was tricky.
He asked Ye Chen: “Young Master Ye, has Madam Ye been abroad recently?”
“Recently?” Ye Chen said: “The recent abroad trip was around the Spring Festival when we went to the Maldives together.”
Li Yalin asked again: “Then when going to the Maldives, did you separate? Or to put it more bluntly, is it possible that Tang Sihai secretly met Madam Ye in the Maldives?”
“Impossible.” Ye Chen said: “Chu Ran and I were inseparable during that time, and there was also a mercenary attack on the island then. Butler Tang absolutely couldn’t have been on the island.”
With that, Ye Chen asked: “Why do you ask this, Detective Li?”
Li Yalin said: “First, I personally think that since he could convince Madam Ye to make the major decision to leave Young Master Ye, he must have met Madam Ye in person, and it must have been in a very safe and private place, where he reasoned with her in detail and moved her with emotion. Otherwise, he couldn’t have persuaded Madam Ye.”
“Second, if Madam Ye has only been abroad once recently, and that time was entirely with Young Master Ye, then it proves that Tang Sihai’s in-person persuasion of Madam Ye didn’t happen abroad, but in China!”
“Given that Tang Sihai has just disappeared in Australia, this indicates two possibilities: first, after his previous disappearance, Tang Sihai never left China; second, when Tang Sihai disappeared then, he had already left China, but to persuade Madam Ye, he secretly returned to the country.”
“Regardless of which is the actual situation, it shows that this Tang Sihai seems much more capable than we imagined.”
“Because, since our ground network system was built, it has never captured any information on him.”
“If it’s the first situation, then this time leaving China for Australia, he achieved complete concealment of his tracks;”
“If it’s the second, then the first time leaving China to an unknown country, the second time returning to China from that unknown country, the third time from China to Australia, several times he achieved complete concealment of his tracks.”
“Besides that, let’s talk about Madam Ye’s family. If he could also take Madam Ye and her family, who obviously left obvious life traces, out of China without a trace, that would be even more unfathomable!”
“To have such abilities, there must be an extremely vast and powerful backing force providing convenience in all aspects. This backing force might be even stronger than we imagine, even stronger than us.”
An Chongqiu interrupted him: “Is it that exaggerated, Old Li? Nowadays, Chen’er’s industries, combined with the Ye family and An family’s industries, dare not say world number one, but should be second only to the Po Qing Society and the Rothschild family. Tang Sihai is just the Ye family’s butler. How could he have strength stronger than ours?”
Li Yalin said: “Chongqiu, this is like seeing a fresh, just-chewed piece of chewing gum on the moon. When we see it, we shouldn’t think about which idiot is so uncivilised to go to the moon and spit chewing gum. We should think about what organisation has the ability to send people to the moon, and also has the ability to let people chew and spit chewing gum in the moon’s ultra-high vacuum environment. That would be too terrifying.”
“From what I’ve seen, I personally feel that the strength behind Tang Sihai can no longer be described as a team. It’s simply an empire!”
