Country M has never had a household registration system or an identity card. What plays a similar role is the social insurance number and driver's license.

After the establishment of the Social Security Administration in the 1930s, the federal government stipulated that all legal citizens and residents must hold a Social Security number.

This number consists of nine digits. The first three digits are related to the postal code of the application location, the last four digits are arranged in numerical order, and the middle two digits are combination numbers, which can be divided into odd and even combinations.

Even foreigners who come to country m to study, work or visit must first apply for a social insurance number before they can apply for any other documents.

As long as a person's social security number is entered into the nationally networked computer system, all background information about him will be available at a glance, including not only physical conditions such as age, gender, and date of birth, but also educational background, work experience, and tax authorities.

The credit status of insurance companies and banks, as well as whether there is any criminal record, etc.

If a person has had a bad tax record or criminal record, this record will always be with him. No matter which state he goes to, whether he is looking for a job or starting a company, he will encounter obstacles everywhere.

Therefore, this number also plays a huge role in preventing commercial fraud and maintaining market order. In country m, few people dare to manufacture and sell fake and shoddy products or conduct fraudulent activities, because once exposed, not only will they be subject to legal sanctions, but also the industry

The association will also publish this behavior online, which will prevent it from gaining the trust of others, and thus it will not be able to gain a foothold in the industry.

In this case, it will take a long time to re-establish one's own image and credibility, and the price will be very high. That's why some people say that the reason why country m has good business ethics and social atmosphere is largely due to

Benefit from the Social Security Number System.

Country m has the largest number of cars in the world, and is jokingly called the "country on wheels." Therefore, the driver's license has become a very important and commonly owned document. Because the driver's license is the only identity document with a photo that is carried with you,

So for adults, a driver's license usually plays the role of an ID card. Whether you are buying a car, applying for insurance, opening a bank account, or trading in stocks, you must show your driver's license.

However, country m is a federal country. Each state has considerable autonomy and its driving licenses are different. When moving from one state to another, you must change your driving license.

Therefore, the only thing that remains with you for life is your Social Security number.

When the police of Country M see a suspicious person - for example, they think they are criminals or illegal immigrants - they will come forward and ask for their driver's license or their social security number, and then request the command center to access the Internet through the intercom.

Inquiry. Not only proves the authenticity of the identity, but also makes the whole situation of the person clear at a glance.

Due to the rapid development of information technology in recent years, many police officers patrolling the streets are equipped with handheld or vehicle-mounted computers that can access the Internet, and can conduct inquiries without the need for a command center.

Based on these factors and the government's severe crackdown, unlike the situation that flourishes all over the country, there is no market for fake certificate dealers in country m. It is more difficult to find a person who makes false certificates than to find a drug dealer.

In the most special years in the past, Pang Jindong has learned how to forge documents, whether academic qualifications, passports, or visas, to make them look real. However, under the current conditions of information technology, the basic elements that an identity must have are difficult to achieve.

This technique of simply forging documents is no longer of much use.

While Pang Jindong was thinking about it, he thought of someone.

This man's name is Tom Howard. Many years ago, when his daughter traveled to Latin America, she was kidnapped by a local gang. The local police were incompetent and the embassy of country M failed to mediate. However, he had no ability to pay the high ransom and was almost mentally exhausted.

On the verge of collapse.

Although Tom Howard works for the FBI, there are many employees in the FBI, and not all of them are as brave and invincible as the lone hero in the movie. Not only himself, but even his colleagues around him are not as capable as described in the movie.

Sneak into the tiger's den alone to fight against the bandits.

Under this situation, he has only two choices, either to try whether the mantis can be used as a car and really become a real-life movie protagonist; or to compromise with the gang and pay the ransom by raising loan sharks.

At this time, a friend of his made a suggestion. He neither compromised with the gang nor took risks himself. Instead, he hired mercenaries at half the ransom price. On the recommendation of this friend, he found the Blood Lion Mercenary Group.

At the beginning, he was worried about whether the mercenaries could ensure the safety of his daughter. When Pang Jindong defeated the local gang and sent his daughter back to him unharmed, his excitement was beyond words.

In view of his difficult financial situation, Pang Jindong showed compassion again and reduced some of the fees.

He was overjoyed and told Pang Jindong at that time: "As long as I am alive, if you need help with anything, as long as I have the ability to do it, I will definitely help you do it."

Pang Jindong's situation at this time is exactly what Tom Howard can help with. Because he works in the FBI's Witness Protection Program Team. The main job of this department is to protect witnesses involved in major cases. And protecting these witnesses is the most effective.

The only way is to assign them a new identity.

Due to the characteristics of the judicial system of country m - which is also a manifestation of the perfection of the legal system and the full protection of human rights - it is common for major cases to be investigated for several years and then tried for several more years. Therefore, these unlucky witnesses may even need to

Live with a fake identity for a long time.

Several years have passed, and Tom Howard's daughter should have become a real adult. I wonder if he still remembers his original promise.

Many times, Pang Jingdong would lament the moral decline of the Chinese people. The spirit of those who would rather die than lie in the history books, and the spirit of making promises to others and using two wrong swords to make money, has long since disappeared. What is prevalent is the betrayal of promises.

and hypocritical polite words.

Therefore, more than two thousand years after Confucius said, "If a person has no faith, he does not know what he is capable of." Today, more than two thousand years ago, we have to go back and re-emphasize integrity in society.

In contrast, people in country M will not make promises easily, and they will definitely keep their promises. Of course, regrets can also be seen, especially in such life-and-death matters.

Considering that this trip to Country M required the use of many connections in the past, Pang Jindong brought all his communication information. In the mood to give it a try, Pang Jindong found a public phone and called Tom Howard.

"Hello!" Tom Howard answered the phone quickly, and there were many people talking in the background. It was already evening, and it seemed that he was socializing outside.

Pang Jindong replied in a low voice: "I am Jerry, Pang."

Tom Howard was stunned for a moment, and then told Pang Jindong: "Please wait a moment!" Then, the sound of walking came from the phone, and the background gradually became quiet. Tom Howard must have found a place where there was no one to answer the call.

After a while, he asked carefully: "Which Jerry?"

"Jerry Pang, that mercenary!" After a pause, Pang Jingdong added: "In the past few years, your daughter must have become even more beautiful!"

"My God!" Tom Howard took a deep breath and asked in surprise: "Where are you? Do you know that you are being wanted?"

"I'm in New York! I know what kind of trouble I'm facing, so I'm asking you for help!"

Tom Howard hesitated for a moment before asking: "What can I do for you?"

"I need a new identity!"

Tom Howard was silent for a moment, and then told Pang Jindong: "I can help you!"

"for how long?"

“As soon as two days!”

"Can it be faster?"

"No!" Tom Howard sighed and said helplessly: "I need to re-establish your personal file, credit record, assign you a social security number, and make a driver's license. It's a workload to re-create all a person's information.

It’s already very big, and I still need to upload all of this to the database. Although I have permission to upload, if I do it during working hours, it will definitely arouse suspicion. So I can only do it quietly during off-duty hours when no one is in the office.

conduct."

Pang Jindong had a certain understanding of the work of the FBI and knew that Tom Howard did not mean to emphasize the difficulties. Sighing, Pang Jindong told him: "It's all up to you!"

"I'll do my best!"

"Is there anything you need me to do?"

"I need a recent photo of you, as well as blood type, height and other information, because there is no way to fake these!"

"No problem! I'll send it to you right away on my phone, including photos. You can photoshop them as needed!"

"Okay! Contact me in two days!" After sighing again, Tom Howard told Pang Jindong: "You must pay attention to safety!"

"I will!" Although Pang Jindong agreed, what he was thinking in his heart was: "The prerequisite for my safety is that you will not betray me..."

"I hope this will all end as soon as possible. Then I will invite you to my house for dinner!"

"There will be a chance!"

"My wife has been thinking about you for the past few years. You must know that at that time, you were not much older than my daughter. My daughter also often mentioned you. It was you who inspired her to join the army.

idea.”

Pang Jindong smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing!"

"No matter what, I respect my daughter's choice!" When Tom Howard said this, his tone became very emotional: "I don't have your contact information, and I have always hoped that you would call me. Now your phone number

It really came, but it was under such a situation."

After hearing this sentence, Pang Jin sighed in Chinese: "Everything is fate, and no one can control it at all!"

After hanging up the phone from Tom Howard, Pang Jindong took a photo of himself, then bought a mobile phone card and sent the photo and information to Tom Howard using a new number.

In order to prevent the mobile phone signal from being tracked, Pang Jindong threw the new number away after using it.

Next, Pang Jindong found a convenience store and bought a lot of food. When he walked out of the convenience store, two policemen came over.

Since he had already entered the other party's field of vision, it was too late to turn around and leave. Pang Jindong simply held his chest high and walked towards the policeman without hesitation.

As he continued to get closer to the two policemen, Pang Jindong's heart grew higher and higher. When he passed by the police, Pang Jindong's heart almost reached his throat. But despite this, Pang Jindong's facial expression was very calm.

He also gave a slight nod to the two policemen.

Because of Pang Jindong's behavior, the two policemen had almost no suspicion at all. Not only did they not think of checking the documents, they even smiled back at Pang Jindong.

When the two policemen walked over, Pang Jindong took a long breath and his heart fell back into the distance.

Pang Jindong drove back to the farmhouse overnight. There were no corpses on the ground, and all the weapons were gone. With the faint light of the flashlight, Pang Jindong found someone where the corpse lay, and drew a rough outline of the corpse with white chalk.

All this shows that the police have already arrived.

Pang Jindong slowly checked and found that the number of chalk circles was the same as the number of Russian gangsters, which meant that Masaharu Kazama and Isabel were probably safe and sound.

"I hope Xiaoqing is safe!" Pang Jindong silently wished.

Although the police may have known that the shootout that took place here during the day was related to Pang Jindong, who was wanted, they would never have thought that the abandoned farmhouse at the scene of the crime would become Pang Jindong's hiding place.

It was precisely based on this understanding of the police's psychology that Pang Jindong lived here with peace of mind in the next two days.

The farmhouse has been abandoned for a long time, with choking dust and dense cobwebs everywhere. All the wooden structures in the house have rotted, the floors will collapse if stepped on hard, and the furniture will fall apart as long as it is shaken.

Pang Jindong once lived in a worse environment, so this environment is still bearable.

Chinese people have a superstitious idea that they should never choose abandoned houses when staying outside. Westerners often create many folklore around abandoned houses. It seems that as long as no one lives in a place, it will become a place where many people live.

A paradise for unclean things.

But Pang Jindong didn't care about this. He spread the towel on the floor, put the gun next to him, and fell asleep comfortably. Even if there were inexplicable noises at night, Pang Jindong just turned over and continued to sleep. Because Pang Jindong knew that it was just

Caused by wind noise or mouse activity.

Compared with this dirty environment, the most unbearable thing for Pang Jindong is loneliness.

The most terrifying thing in the world is not monsters, nor the raging wars and horrific killings, but loneliness. Because human psychology has the need to vent emotions, and no matter what kind of fear we face, if there is no one to talk to
