As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 245 How to Find Someone
Daniel has always believed that how to find people is an art.

And he prided himself on being a master of the art.

Except for Merlin, Daniel has never missed a shot. The only difference is the time, the time to find the target person.

Daniel has always regretted that he was not born in the eighteenth century. If that was the case, he would have had a chance to fight Jack the Ripper.

Rather than living in the modern age of advanced technology, any case will leave countless clues, and there is no challenge at all.

This time, in Daniel's opinion, was no exception.

"Daniel, according to the feedback from Vodafone, the other party's number briefly appeared in Brixton, Lambeth."

Daniel ran through Brixton's information in his mind, and thought something bad in his heart.

The area of ​​London is very large, with more than thirty administrative divisions.

Although in most people's minds there is only East London and West London, this is because East London is a newly developed area with rich industries and new influx of people.

West London is an old wealthy area in England, where the Demon King's Palace, the Prime Minister's residence and the Parliament are all located in West London.

At the same time, the famous Chelsea is located in West London.

In fact, London has North and South London, North London has Tottenham and Arsenal, and South London has Crystal Palace.

The true zoning of London is divided into 32 administrative areas.

Daniel quickly got the information about Brixton out of his mind. This place is specifically located in the Lambeth district of South London.

There are a large number of ordinary residents in South London, and Brixton is the last stop of the Victory Line of the subway. It is very chaotic, with a large number of black people living around, and people are mixed.

Brixton is recognized as a dangerous area in London, and most of the overseas Chinese students will have a consensus not to go to this area at night, or even not to go at all.

At the same time, due to financial constraints, there are almost no cameras in this area.

"The other party probably doesn't live in the Brixton area. Now we can start to make some simple portraits of this Mr. X." Daniel ordered.

Mr. X is their nickname for the magician who appears on FB.

A colleague who lives in the Brixton area said: "Daniel, you are biased against Brixton.

Now that place is much safer than before, and many emerging middle class people buy houses in Brixton.

There are areas over there that are even better than certain areas of Chelsea. "

Chelsea belongs to the old rich area.

But London's rich and poor areas are not so absolute.

In other words, no administrative district will be full of rich people or poor people.

There will be obvious and strong differences within the same administrative district.

Daniel had indeed not been to Brixton for many years, and his reaction was based on his limited memory.

But it's impossible for him to admit he's geographically biased: "I don't know Brixton well enough.

But from what we know about Mr. X, the presence of the other party's mobile phone signal in Brixton is an obvious way to deceive our eyes. "

The colleague asked: "Why not reverse thinking? Let us think that he is not in Brixton, but he is in Brixton?"

Daniel realized that if this discussion continues, it will be an infinite spiral and there will be no results. He changed the subject and said:
"It doesn't matter where he is now, it's even possible that he's not in London anymore.

For example, I have already gone to Manchester or Nottingham.

But these are not important, this is just a reference, what is more important is to confirm his identity first, after the identity is confirmed, it will be much faster to find someone. "

After confirming that the video on FB was free of editing and props, England has temporarily blocked the traffic with the outside world.

But this blockade is unsustainable and weak.

Because there is not so much manpower to seal the border.If you really want to go out, there is definitely a way to leave through Northern Ireland or Scotland.

So it's definitely getting harder and harder to find people over time.

Based on Daniel's knowledge of the English, he doesn't think anyone who has acquired the superpower of magic will be willing to cooperate with the government.

"The other party obviously realized that we can determine their location through the signal interaction of SMS, and the other party will use the springboard and anonymous network, which is definitely not a technology that ordinary people can master.

A certain background in information security knowledge is required. "

"The problem is that there are so many people in London with similar backgrounds that there is no way to identify him.

What we need is to lock his personal information through the Internet first. "

London has rich educational resources and a large number of Internet companies.

Major companies such as FB, Google, Apple, Amazon, and Twitter all have branches in London.

It does not include small and medium-sized Internet companies in London.

One of the most important reasons why Internet giants were not born in Europa is that the language has not been unified.

Therefore, even good ideas are easily confined to the country, and it is difficult to extend them abroad.

Take a typical case as an example, Opera, which was born in Norway in 1995, is a very good browser product.

The technology is powerful and easy to use, but it has been tepid.

Many Internet companies in Europa have similar problems, focusing on technology and despising marketing.

Daniel said directly: "Can we get technical support from fb?
Is this phone number registered with WhatsApp? "

"No, we have already asked when we went to the FB headquarters to obtain the IP address and mobile phone number. The mobile phone has not been registered with whatsapp."

Whatsapp is a software similar to WeChat, which is very common in foreign countries and belongs to FB.

After pondering for a moment, Daniel said: "Can we get a greater degree of cooperation from FB?
Go to FB, we need to investigate the historical data in WhatsApp.

Through the system screening, the chat records with words related to magic and Merlin frequently appeared in the last seven days were screened out.

In particular, there was a magical chat record between [-]:[-] pm and [-]:[-] pm yesterday.

Because the other party's video was uploaded at eleven o'clock, it meant that the other party probably had the ability to cast spells before that.

If the other party will discuss with friends, then magic-related chat records will definitely appear frequently during this time period. "

They have internally analyzed the hands in the video through the video, and the skin on the hands shows that they are most likely to be between 25 and 35 years old.

People of this age, no matter how vigilant they are, they can't stop showing off.

Judging from the existing information, Daniel judged that the other party had a certain amount of information security knowledge.

And after discovering that he may receive magic-related inheritance, he obviously consciously created an online identity that is different from his real identity.

It is very likely that conscious isolation has been carried out on the IMEI serial number of the mobile phone and the MAC address of the network card.

Even the phone card is not his own, but bought from someone else.

Therefore, in Daniel's view, it doesn't make much sense to find someone through a mobile phone card.

But since the other party is a young man, under 35 years old is still young.Then the desire to show off is hard to suppress.

The other party shoots a video and uploads it for many purposes, it may be to show off, or it may be to find a companion.

He may hope to find a companion who also masters magic by this means.

"Sorry, the customer's chat history is private, and we on FB have no right to view it."

"We don't need to check, we just need to filter out the chat records where certain words frequently appeared between [-]:[-] and [-]:[-] last night."

"and then?"

"Then we want to see those chats."

"Yes, isn't this still stealing user privacy? Sorry, this is not allowed."

In fact, Daniel had a hunch that FB was already doing this, and even FB sent suspicious chat records back to American through submarine optical cables.

But he does not have the authority to cut off the network of the entire FB office building.

"you."

It's a pity that there is no mage in London now. The mages in England have either gone to Brussels or stayed in Cambridge.

If there is a mage in London at this time, he must feel that his spellcasting has become easier.

Yes, the existence of the magic net also has a certain buff effect on mages who gain spellcasting ability through the magic brain.

A colleague who was sent to FB suppressed his anger after showing his ID: "This is an order!"

"Sir, even if you are the FBI, we still don't have the permission to show you the user's chat history.

This is not allowed, even if Zuckerberg is standing in front of me now, he does not have this authority.

Even I myself do not have this authority. "The other party said categorically.

"Sorry, FB's attitude is very tough, and the other side said they can't cooperate.

I found our boss's boss and called them, but the other party just took a step back.

Said that if we can tell the specific account number, we are willing to transfer the chat records of the last few days for us. "

Daniel thought to himself, it really won't be so easy.

Since this matter was fermented on FB for a long time, although the video was deleted on FB, it has already been spread all over the sky.

The American side must have received news that FB did not cooperate with their work for various reasons.

The other party's rejection was expected by Daniel.

"Okay, come back quickly, I have a new idea, I have a hunch that we will soon find new clues."
