It was already dark when we went through customs.
What Gao Yi told Sean was to go to Los Angeles overnight after passing customs. Because Los Angeles is very close to Mexico and is also a big city, it is a normal choice to settle in Los Angeles.
But in fact, after Gao Yi passed the customs, the first thing he did was to find a motel.
Gao Yi lied a little about this matter.
You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others. Although Sean tried his best to persuade Gao Yi to join the garden, Gao Yi has clearly refused.
Destroy what you can't get. There are not a few people who have this idea. In addition, Sean is living in the underground world, and the garden is in a bad situation. With various factors combined, Gao Yi must be on guard.
So after passing customs and arriving in the United States, the first thing he did was to go to the dark web and contact the person who issued his passport. Then, he checked into a motel according to the other person's instructions and arrangements instead of going straight to Los Angeles.
The U.S.-Mexico border is the place with the most illegal immigrants, so it is normal and reasonable for the group that Gao Yi found to get him a passport to have someone close to Tijuana.
After sleeping in the hotel, he didn't worry too much. At about nine o'clock the next morning, someone knocked on his door.
Gao Yi opened the door with vigilance. Outside the door was a middle-aged man wearing a short-sleeved shirt. A gun was hung on his waist. Although the holster was covered with his clothes, it was still slightly exposed.
It was obvious that he was carrying a trolley suitcase in his hand.
"Busan?"
The person who knocked on the door opened his mouth and said Gao Yi's darknet account name.
Gao Yi nodded, and then the person who knocked on the door immediately said: "Red and Blue Group, call me Martin."
Gao Yi took two steps back, and Martin closed the door immediately after entering, saying: "Transaction first, payment after the transaction is completed. I'm in a hurry, let's go faster."
Gao Yi liked how neat it was, and he immediately asked: "How to do it?"
Martin placed the suitcase on Gao Yi's bed and opened it. The two parts of the suitcase were full.
Pulling open the grid on one side, Martin said to himself: "There are very few documents for Asians, but we also have them. When were you born?"
"1994."
"You are lucky to have someone who was born in the same year as you, otherwise you would have to choose a birth certificate from a similar year."
Martin immediately pulled out a document bag. He handed the document bag directly to Gao Yi and said, "Open it and take a look."
Gao Yi opened the document bag, and inside was a card. There was no photo on the card, only a set of numbers and names. His name was Booth, and his surname was Zhuang. Anyway, the pinyin was Zhuang.
There is also a medical birth certificate. The issuing hospital is a community hospital in Palmdale. There is no photo on this birth certificate.
Gao Yi said in confusion: "This is?"
"Social security number, medical birth certificate, as well as the original owner's upbringing and education level. Just remember it. From now on, you are Booth Zhuang."
Gao Yi said in surprise: "Replace? Let me replace someone else?"
Martin was not in a hurry, and just said slowly: "You can choose a green card, the price is the same, and it is guaranteed to be applied for you, but you have to fill out a lot of applications and wait for at least twenty days before it is finally issued to you."
Gao Yi didn't want to wait that long, so he hesitated: "But what I need is a passport. You only give me a number. What should I do next?"
"Of course I'll do it all for you."
Martin took out a device that looked like a tablet, and it was very similar to the tablet the CIA used to check identities.
Putting the instrument on the bed and turning it on, Martin said to Gao Yi: "Lean against the wall, stand still, don't move."
Gao Yi stood in front of the white wall. Martin took a casual photo, then put down the tablet, pressed it a few times and said, "Enter fingerprints, ten fingers."
Gao Yi felt a little uneasy and whispered: "What is this for?"
Martin was a little impatient, but he must have experienced the same doubt many times, so he knew what he was forcing Gao Yi to do, so it would be better to simply explain it.
"Now you have your Social Security number, you have your birth certificate, and they get you a driver's license, you have your photo and your fingerprints, and then you take your driver's license and your Social Security number, plus your birth certificate, and then you can apply to
Apply for a passport at the Consular Bureau, and then you will get a passport legally issued to you."
Is this a fake certificate?
No, it’s not that convenient to get a real certificate.
But although Gao Yi didn't understand the secrets here, he knew that he shouldn't ask questions.
So Gao Yi cooperated very much and entered his fingerprints.
Martin took the much thicker tablet, entered a few times, then put the tablet away and said, "Wait ten minutes."
There were two chairs in the room. Gao Yi and Martin each sat on one chair. Then Martin said in a familiar manner: "Let me introduce to you the identity of the original owner. The original owner's parents are Chinese and got their green cards in 1990.
They gave birth to a son in 1994, and then they died in a car accident in 2010. The original owner dropped out of school in 2012, then became homeless, and died of a drug overdose in 2014. However, he did not have a death certificate, and his identity has been retained for your use today."
Gao Yi couldn't help but curl his lips. The original owner he replaced was really unlucky.
Martin ignored Gao Yi's feelings and continued: "The good thing is that the original owner doesn't have a driver's license, so it will be much more convenient to get a driver's license for you. When you get the driver's license, you will have everything and you can use it."
To live under the name you like, you only need to use a fake name when showing your ID, or you can apply to change your name."
Gao Yi immediately said: "Can I change my name?"
"Yes, add some money and I'll do it for you. This is a little extra money I can earn by myself."
A sly smile finally appeared on Martin's face, and he said calmly: "After you have these documents, you can change your name through marriage, or you can apply to the local court in your state to change your name, or you can let me help you.
Change the name.”
Gao Yi blinked, and then he finally asked: "How much?"
"Ten thousand dollars."
Gao Yi thought about it and felt that something was wrong.
When he contacted this red and blue group on the dark web about how to apply for naturalization, the customer service did not tell him that he would need to pay extra.
Ten thousand dollars is a large amount for most Americans, but it is very small compared to the total cost of half a million dollars.
Therefore, the name change was actually included in the entire cost. This Martin wanted to make extra money, but he just wanted Gao Yi to pay extra money that he did not have to pay.
Gao Yi thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, that's not what the darknet customer service told me. I have to ask him."
Martin was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately said: "Wait a minute, um, let's forget it."
Gao Yi didn't want to be cheated, but he didn't want to offend the person in front of him who was doing things for him. He had no choice but to do so, as the Chinese people's idea of ​​peace being the most important was still deeply ingrained.
Gao Yi thought for a moment and said, "Should I tell you that... I may buy passports from you often in the future."
Payment is made online and handled offline, so the staff handling the business offline do not know the specific identity of the customer. This is normal.
Martin obviously didn't figure out Gao Yi's identity. He seemed a little scared at the moment. Of course, he was not afraid of Gao Yi, but he was afraid that his money collection would be known by his superiors.
Martin's expression changed. He was no longer as relaxed as he was at first. Instead, he darkened his face and whispered: "Uh, I'm sorry, I don't know, can you... just pretend that this never happened?"
Gao Yi spread his hands and said, "I don't know what you are talking about. What happened?"
Martin smiled slightly, then he walked to the suitcase, took out a printer-like thing from it, and then said to Gao Yi: "What do you want to change it to?"
As a man, you can change your name or surname, but here in Gao Yi, you can give an English name, but you can't change your surname.
"Uh, I'm still called Booth, but I want my surname to be Gao."
Martin operated the tablet and entered the pinyin Gao Yi wanted. After a while, the printer chirped again, and then spit out a card.
Gao Yi saw it, and the pinyin Zhuang became Gao.
"Is this enough?"
"no."
Martin said seriously: "The name on your Social Security card must also be changed. Keep the original document. Then your birth certificate cannot be changed, but you will have a legal document proving the necessity of changing your name and replacing the birth certificate."
.”
As Martin said, the printer was working. Soon, a new social security card came out. The number remained the same, but the name was changed. Then Martin picked up a blank piece of certification paper, put it into the printer, and operated it.
After a while, the documents proving that Gao Yi changed his name legally were released.
Handing the complete set of documents to Gao Yi, Martin whispered: "Keep all the original documents. With this certification document, it is legal for you to change your name. It can be used as a substitute for the birth certificate. Bring this certificate and driver's license and apply for it."
Just a passport will do.”
It's just that it's so fast that it's hard to believe, but the key is that the supporting documents are somewhat hard to come by.
Gao Yi picked up the certification document. The three largest letters on it were FBI.
A letter of certification issued by the FBI proving that Gao Yi must change his name due to security issues. This document can be used in place of the birth certificate.
In a few short sentences, no reason was given for why the name was changed, but it seemed that there was no need to give a reason.
Gao Yi took a breath of air, but he didn't make it too obvious.
Maybe this red and blue group is run by people from the FBI.
FBI people are not fishing and arresting people on the dark web, but they are doing business.
Forget about doing business, are you still willing to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with a killer account like Gao Yi?
Why do I feel uneasy?
But it doesn't matter, because the fingerprints recorded by Gao Yi are fake. They are the fingerprint patches that Sean put on for him and have not yet removed them.
If you enter fake fingerprints, it will be more troublesome when you need to take fingerprints in the future, but no matter how troublesome it is, it is better than letting others know all your true information.
After all, fake fingerprints can be made at any time. Gao Yi doesn't know how to do it yet, but this technique is not difficult. The difficulty is having this set of fingerprint data.
Even if he couldn't do it himself, Gao Yi would rather deal with Hua Yuan and beg Sean again than give his fingerprints and irises to the FBI.
It's really hard to go out alone. Do you want to contact Sean again?
Gao Yi was a little confused for a moment, but Martin saw Gao Yi's confusion, and he said: "If you want to verify the authenticity, I can accompany you to verify it, and you will just pay after you confirm that these documents are OK."
Martin misunderstood the reason for Gao Yi's entanglement.
Gao Yi shook his head and said, "No, thank you."
Rejecting Martin's flattery, Gao Yi took out a thousand dollars from his bag, and when he handed it to Martin, he smiled and said, "This is to thank you for your service, please accept it."
Martin should be a business man, and a thousand dollars should be enough.
Gao Yi just means, I can give it, but you can't ask for it, let alone cheat me.
Martin had to know how good Gao Yi was. He took the cash, smiled awkwardly, and then suddenly said: "Are you in a hurry to apply for a passport? I can take you there. Well, if I go, it will be faster."
Chapter completed!
