When Zeng Mingzong questioned, he asked Lin Youchang whether he was aware of the leakage of relevant household service information.

Lin emphasized: "It was not leaked from the headquarters. I have reported this many times in committees and conferences." On October 21st and October 25th, 2022, are you sure that all the 23 million records were not leaked by the Ministry of the Interior?"

"100% sure! It's not directly leaked by the headquarters." Lin Youchang revealed that there are more than 70 agencies that have relevant information on envoys.

Zeng Mingzong asked: "Who leaked it? Which department?" Lin said: "This part allows me not to report to the committee, and it has entered the judicial process."

Later, when Zeng Mingzong convened a committee on behalf of the committee, he emphasized that according to Article 25 of the Law on the Exercise of Powers of the Legislative Yuan, Lin Youchang must answer which department to transfer to.

In this regard, Lin Youchang clarified that it was not a transfer, but the relevant information was sent to the inspection and investigation unit. This involved several ministries and commissions, and relevant information was also provided to the Executive Yuan.

Lin Youchang said that there are many agencies that apply to the Ministry of the Interior for information, there are more than 70, and they do it every year; at that time, there were about 11 agencies that had previously applied to the Ministry of the Interior for national information, " Of course it is possible", but after investigation, it will definitely be narrowed down to maybe only one in the end.
