The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Return quickly?

Return to where?

Qin Zhibo looked through all the postcards and did not find any handwriting on other postcards.

Then combined with the address of the postcard, it can only be returned to Hawaii quickly.

The sender not only knows his current specific address, but also stays in Hawaii for a long time.

In this case, it can be basically concluded that he is someone who is close to the "original owner".

Because the purpose of the "original owner" to come to Japan is to follow the footsteps of CIA agent Ethan Hondo to investigate the organization, and he also used an alias to hide his identity.

If it is not a very close person, he will definitely not expose his whereabouts to the other party.

Could it be parents, or even a wife?

Qin Zhibo thought about it and felt that this was unlikely.

If the "original owner" was married and had a wife, James and Haneda Yasuharu, who were old friends during this period, would at least ask about the recent situation of his family.

And this strange way of communication does not feel like the way a family communicates.

It seems that in order to keep it secret, they chose to send postcards.

Moreover, he had sent postcards more than once, and it had even become a fixed habit.

But why did the sender ask him to "come back quickly" only this time?

On the way to Haneda Airport, Qin Zhibo kept thinking in his mind and made many assumptions.

But in the end, he still had no clue.

The only way now was to go back to Hawaii to meet the sender in person.

Of course, this must wait until he met up with Kudo Yusaku and others.

…

15 hours later, the plane landed at General Edward Airport in Boston, Massachusetts.

Qin Zhibo came to the Marriott Hotel near Boston Inner Bay according to the address provided by Kudo Yusaku.

Here, he met with the Kudo couple and the Kuroba couple.

"Thank you for your hard work, please sit down."

In the luxurious presidential suite, Kudo Yusaku arranged Qin Zhibo to sit on the sofa, and Yukiko was responsible for preparing drinks for several people.

Qin Zhibo just sat down and looked at Kuroba Touichi, and asked impatiently.

"Mr. Kuroba, what did you find out in Innsmouth?"

"Mr. Qin, please don't be anxious. We still need to wait for a guest to come before we can start this meeting."

Kuroba Toichi responded politely. His gentlemanly demeanor made Kuroba Chikage's eyes glaze.

I believe that during this period of investigation, the couple who had been separated for several years must have spent one unforgettable night after another.

This is also the reason why Kuroba Kaito was not brought to the United States.

Seeing Kuroba Toichi say this, Qin Zhibo temporarily restrained his anxiety, took the coffee handed by Yukiko, and took a sip to refresh himself.

Just then, the doorbell sounded from the guest room door.

Ding——

"The last guest has arrived."

Kudo Yusaku put down the coffee cup in his hand, got up and went to open the door.

Although Qin Zhibo was sitting on the sofa, he looked over curiously.

When the door opened, a familiar figure stood outside the door.

This person was Luc Villiers, a senior executive of the Nine Angels.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Kudo."

"Welcome, Mr. Villiers, please come in."

Luc Villiers took off his hat and nodded to Kudo Yusaku, and walked into the suite with a thin black cane in his right hand.

Seeing Qin Zhibo and Kuroba Toichi sitting on the sofa, he also nodded and greeted them.

"Mr. Qin, Mr. Kuroba, good afternoon."

The two nodded in response.

Yukiko stepped forward to take the windbreaker and hat that Luc Villiers took off. Just as she was about to take his cane, Luc Villiers smiled slightly and declined.

"Sorry, Mrs. Kudo, I'm still used to it being at my hand."

"It's okay."

Yukiko smiled politely and hung Luc's clothes on the coat rack in the corner.

Qin Zhibo looked at Luc Villiers who was sitting down, and then looked at the other people present.

The last time there was such a lineup was at the ceremony site of Stonehenge in London.

It seems that Kuroba Toichi has indeed investigated something remarkable this time.

When everyone sat down on the sofa, Hei Yu Daoyi glanced at everyone and said solemnly: "Then I will start to talk about my investigation in Innsmouth this time."

"First of all, my investigation concluded that someone is currently trying some means to resurrect 'Cthulhu'."

"And this person's goal may be close to being achieved..."

Hei Yu Daoyi's face was serious, and he paused for a moment before continuing.

"As for the means of resurrecting 'Cthulhu', after I disguised myself as an Innsmouth believer and inquired in the secret religion during this period, I think the most likely person is 'Ksira'."

"She is the daughter of Cthulhu and the key to Cthulhu's resurrection. She is called the 'Hidden One' among the believers."

"Among those believers, there is a legend that the great Cthulhu will be born from the womb after Ksira's conception, and then reign over the world again."

"While the believers firmly believe in this legend, I also inquired about a very critical information."

"About 20 years ago, Ksira did exist in the Devil's Reef near the outlet of Innsmouth."

"But at a certain point in time, the Devil's Reef was completely destroyed, and Ksira also mysteriously disappeared at that time."

When Hei Yu Daoyi told this story, Qin Zhibo suddenly remembered that he had dived into the so-called Devil Reef.

In the underwater city made of reefs, there was an unexploded atomic bomb.

However, the underwater city was indeed severely damaged, as if it had suffered a major attack, but there are still a small number of deep divers active in that area.

Qin Zhibo immediately told everyone about his discovery.

After hearing this, Kudo Yusaku did not care why Qin Zhibo had been to the Devil Reef, but held his chin and said in a deep voice: "It seems that the organization has started to lay out at least a dozen years ago..."

"But since Ksira is needed to resurrect Cthulhu, why use weapons to attack Him?"

At this time, Hei Yu Daoyi said: "In the esoteric religion, some believers claim that they can sense the existence of Ksira."

"And weapons can only hurt Him at most, and it is impossible to kill Him."

"But if we can find Ksira, we will definitely have the upper hand..."

After Hei Yu Daoyi's voice fell, there was silence in the air for a while.

Qin Zhibo thought to himself, if Ksira is the means by which the organization resurrects Cthulhu, then there should be no reason to attack Him.

And can a human being conceive an Old One?

According to common sense, if you want to conceive an Old One, you must have at least an Old One of equal power. Suddenly, a thought flashed through Qin Zhibo's mind.

If we talk about conception, it is nothing more than the power to give birth to life.

Speaking of this, it must be the Supreme Mother Goddess - Shab-Niggurath.

And in the Aphrodite incident some time ago, it was a summoning ceremony held around the Supreme Mother Goddess.

Although the summoning ceremony on the Aphrodite was blocked by himself, it seems that Shab-Niggurath's authority and power still came, and also satisfied Cheng Shi's wish.

In other words, the ceremony was actually completed.

At that time, except for the ship designer and deputy captain on the Aphrodite, the only possible ceremony was held on the ship of the organization.

The ship of the organization has kept a low profile over the years, but this time it appeared in the waters near the shipwreck site, witnessed by hundreds of passengers, and even made the news.

Such a huge risk must be for the sake of getting a return that is equal to it.

And the summoning ceremony of Shab Nicholas is likely the purpose of the ship coming to that sea area.

And there is another piece of evidence, that is, I felt a terrifying mental fluctuation at that time.

That mental fluctuation came from the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, and it might even be the underwater city of R'lyeh.

Qin Zhibo said his thoughts again.

Hearing this, everyone's eyes were as serious as if they were facing a great enemy.

Because if Qin Zhibo's guess is correct, it means that the organization has even completed the stage of impregnating Ksira.

At this moment, Yukiko asked, "But there was no 'Ksira' on the sea at that time?"

"If the conception was completed, shouldn't the sound be very loud?"

"Many people should have noticed it?"

"Didn't nothing happen on the sea at that time except the sinking of the Aphrodite?"

Yukiko was trying to understand the reproduction method of the Old Ones by anthropomorphic means.

But Kudo Yusaku shook his head and denied his wife's statement.

"No."

"Maybe the process of Ksira's conception is not what you imagined..."

"And Ksira doesn't have to stay in the sea."

As soon as Kudo Yusaku finished speaking, Qin Zhibo, Kuroba Daoyi, and Luc Villiers' eyes changed immediately.

But Yukiko still looked puzzled and asked: "Yusaku, what do you mean by not having to stay in the sea?"

"Isn't He a marine creature?"

Qin Zhibo took a deep breath and said: "The organization's ship is very large, so there is another possibility..."

"That is, Ksira is on the organization's ship."

After this, except for Yukiko and Kuroba Chikage, whose expressions were a little surprised, the expressions of others became more solemn.

This is the most troublesome possibility, but it is also the biggest possibility.

More than a decade ago, Ksira was not expelled from that sea area, but was captured.

As Yukiko said, as the daughter of Cthulhu, although she is an Old One, her power should still be infinitely close to that of a marine creature.

The organization used weapons to weaken Ksira and the Deep One, and then captured Ksira and imprisoned her on the ship.

Over the years, the ship has been drifting in the seas of the world, with an uncertain whereabouts.

Its purpose should be to wait for the most important time node.

That is the return of the stars.

When the stars return to their positions, Cthulhu will be reborn from Ksira's womb.

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

Because if this is the organization's plan, then the organization is infinitely close to success.

Once Ksira has successfully conceived, the organization only needs to use the ship to carry Ksira around the world to delay time.

Although Kudo Yusaku has already formulated a method to search for the whereabouts of the ship in the previous video conference with the FBI, it will take some time before the global cross-age recognition system is officially put into use.

And even if the system is put into use, it is unlikely to find the location of the ship in a short time.

After all, the whereabouts of the organization members are very secretive, and it is unlikely that they will allow their faces to be photographed by others or recorded by surveillance.

At this moment, Luc Villiers, who had not spoken, broke the silence.

"There is one more thing I need to tell you."

Everyone looked at him.

Luc Villiers looked very serious, and his slightly wrinkled eyebrows seemed to be a little tangled.

But two seconds later, he made up his mind and spoke.

"The current boss of the organization was actually a member of the Nine Angels."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the other people present showed a look of surprise.

Luc Villiers seemed to have guessed that these people would have such a reaction, so he didn't care too much and continued to speak.

"Strictly speaking, Karasuma Renye's father, Mr. John Spencer, was the founder of the Nine Angels Organization and a member of the 'Nine Choir'."

"In 1877, after Mr. Spencer's death, Karasuma Renye inherited his father's position in the Nine Angels and became one of the leaders of the Nine Angels."

"However, in the seventh year after he inherited the position of the Nine Angels, he created an incident, took the opportunity to kill the other eight leaders, and took away some important items from the organization, and his whereabouts have been unknown since then."

"After that, the Nine Angels called this person the 'Fallen Angel'."

"It was only after I learned about the identity and background of the organization's boss from Mr. Qin that I investigated this person's past experience from the historical records of the Nine Angels Organization."

After listening to Luc Villiers' statement, everyone's expressions had gradually calmed down from the initial shock.

Such a resume is just equivalent to adding a light touch to Karasuma Renye's long life.

Qin Zhibo crossed his fingers, looked up at Luc Villiers and asked, "What important item did he take away from the Nine Angels back then?"

"It was a disc called the Panest Disc."

Hearing this familiar term, Qin Zhibo's eyes suddenly changed.

This way, everything matched up.

After joining forces with the Shagai Zerg and killing his biological father, Karasuma Renye inherited the title, fiefdom and status in the Nine Angels.

Using the huge network of the Nine Angels, he collected the Panest Disc, which is the only token that can reach the Abyss Enkai and safely meet the Toad God Tsathoggua.

He is very likely to have obtained the formula of the immortality medicine here in Tsathoggua, so that he can have a long life.

At this time, Kudo Yusaku asked Luc Villiers.

"Then Amanda Hughes is..."

Luc Villiers said solemnly: "Ms. Amanda is the heir of the Hughes family. Her father was one of the leaders of the Nine Angels who was killed by Uramaru Renye."

"Ms. Amanda is a respectable person. Her lifelong wish is to avenge her father."

"It's a pity that 17 years ago, Ms. Amanda also died at the hands of the organization..."
