Chapter 1330 Task Assignment

Just a moment later, Conan once again exposed his true nature - an anxious boy.

As soon as he heard that Qin Zhibo had an undercover agent lurking in the organization, he immediately wanted to grasp the situation of the other party.

What was the purpose of grasping the situation?

Of course, it was to cause trouble!

So Qin Zhibo certainly couldn't give him the opportunity to disturb Mizuno Rena.

In fact, Conan had already disturbed Mizuno Rena's home once before, with the purpose of testing Mizuno Rena's true identity.

However, the identity of the undercover is naturally safer if fewer people know it.

Just like those undercover movies, the undercover's superior is often only one person, just to ensure absolute confidentiality.

Seeing that Conan was speechless, Qin Zhibo continued to explain.

"Next, the Kudo couple will go to the United States first, and let the American FBI and CIA work together first."

"On this point, the Nine Angels Organization will help coordinate..."

Although the FBI and CIA are investigation organizations in the same country, due to similar powers, they sometimes conflict on the same issues, so there are grudges between them.

However, the Nine Angels Organization has a great influence in the United States, and with Kudo Yusaku as the liaison consultant between the two parties, the fairness of the exchange of intelligence between the two parties can be guaranteed. I believe that the cooperation between the two parties at the official level is just around the corner.

This time, Qin Zhibo mentioned the Nine Angels Organization again, and just now he mentioned that Qin Zhibo attended the memorial service at the Beihu Hotel through the Nine Angels Organization, which once again aroused Conan's curiosity.

He raised his hand and asked, "Um... Can you tell me what the Nine Angels Organization is?"

This time Conan learned his lesson and his attitude was much better.

The most important thing is that he is not in a hurry.

Qin Zhibo nodded with satisfaction and explained generously, "The Nine Angels Organization is a civilian organization composed of many investigation agents."

"You can understand it as a detective organization, accepting tasks, completing tasks, and getting rewards... that's about it."

Qin Zhibo used the simplest language to extract the core operating mechanism of the Nine Angels Organization.

Conan nodded clearly, and while he roughly understood it, he was also surprised that there was such a mysterious organization in the detective world.

Why did no one invite me when I had been crowned as the "savior of the Japanese police" for a year?

Was I not mature enough before, so I was not qualified?

Yes, that must be the case.

Compared with Qin Zhibo, who is an excellent member, I was indeed immature in the past.

I was complacent just because I solved a few murders and appeared in newspapers a few times, and I didn't understand the truth of this world at all.

It seems that I still need to hone myself more...

Conan is doing self-improvement pua in his head.

Qin Zhibo announced the mission of the Kuroba couple.

"Mr. Kuroba and Mrs. Kuroba, your next task is to investigate as much as possible about the legend of Cthulhu and various signs that may occur in the near future..."

"Based on the intelligence I have obtained before, the real purpose of the organization's boss is likely to be related to the revival of Cthulhu."

"The software and drugs developed by the organization are likely to be prepared for that moment."

"Although the clues in this regard are not very clear now, we must prepare in advance..."

As soon as Qin Zhibo finished speaking, Conan, who was reflecting on himself, suddenly glared and suddenly realized that he seemed to have heard something incredible.

That...

Is this something I can hear?

At this moment, with his front slightly wet, he first reflected on whether he should be anxious about this.

But before he could say anything, Qin Zhibo explained it for him.

"In fact, I first had this guess at the murder scene where Itakura Taku was killed. Conan, you were also at the scene at that time..."

Conan stared and nodded repeatedly.

Of course he remembered, after all, that was the fuse that caused him to almost die in the locker at the subway station.

"At that time, in Itakura Taku's diary, it was revealed that he once questioned a queen-like woman in the organization, what was the other party's purpose?"

"The woman's answer was: We can be both of God and the devil. Since we're trying to raise the dead against the stream of time..."

"Conan, what do you think this sentence means?"

Qin Zhibo's question made Conan frown, and his eyes showed doubts.

In fact, he had thought about the meaning of this sentence countless times in the sleepless nights.

But no matter how he thought about it, he could only think of the literal meaning, that is, "reversing the torrent of time and resurrecting the dead."

But if this is the purpose of the organization, Conan is a little confused.

If it is to resurrect the dead, this is of course a good thing that benefits the world. Not only does it not need to be hidden, but it also does not need to be covered by the cloak of a criminal organization.

Unless the organization's purpose is to use this as an excuse to achieve its own ambitions.

For example, using this technology to coerce the whole world...

Conan murmured his thoughts.

After hearing this, Qin Zhibo shook his head in front of everyone.

"No, if the organization's goal is to resurrect the dead, then there is no need to go to such great lengths."

"Because I suspect the organization has mastered this technology now."

As soon as these words came out, Conan's eyes widened in shock.

Including Yusaku Kudo, Toichi Kuroba and others present, there was more or less surprise in their eyes.

Before Conan woke up, when several people were communicating, Qin Zhibo mentioned "Cthulhu", and several people were not so surprised.

After all, gods are things far away from humans.

And the Kuroba family has more or less come into contact with similar mysterious events before.

Although the Kudo couple did not, after the last case in Oklahoma, USA, Yusaku Kudo also investigated some and knew the existence of such beliefs.

But compared with the unreachable gods, human resurrection is closely related to human interests.

Qin Zhibo looked serious and continued to explain: "In fact, not long ago, I saw an undercover agent planted by the Japanese Public Security Bureau who was presumed dead two and a half years ago."

"The undercover agent who reappeared not only seemed to have lost his previous memories, but also became a minion of the organization."

"Although this may be the result of the organization trying to revive this person and then brainwashing him for a long time..."

"But I think it is more likely that the dead are resurrected."

The reason why Qin Zhibo said this is that, on the one hand, Amuro Toru himself was very sure of the situation at the time, and it was absolutely impossible for Morobushi Kagemitsu to survive on his own.

Because Morobushi Kagemitsu chose to commit suicide in order not to expose his identity.

On the other hand, he went to Enkai to meet with Satogua and obtained the human resurrection technique.

After resurrection, the person will lose his memory and become a "blank sheet" that retains basic life experience skills and muscle memory.

Karasuma Renya also met with Satogua. If he obtained this technique, he could turn the dead Morobushi Kagemitsu into "his own person".

Therefore, resurrection of the dead is not a problem for Karasuma Renya at all, let alone any ultimate goal.

"I think the 'dead' in this sentence is explained like this..."

"It does not refer to the dead or the deceased, but to the 'sleeper'."

"Sleeper..." Conan frowned slightly, "What's the difference?"

In the human metaphor, the sleeper is the dead, because the dead are always asleep.

But Qin Zhi shook his head and denied: "No, the sleepers do not refer to humans."

"There is a god in the world, and many people call it the 'Lord of the Deep Sea'... Cthulhu."

"Cthulhu is a god sleeping in the deep sea, and his body and consciousness are eternal and immortal."

"According to Cthulhu believers, Cthulhu is now in a long period of sleep, and only occasionally has spiritual contact with unspecified humans."

"Those who are touched by his spirit often fall into a state of madness, especially artists who become famous because of this crazy inspiration."

"Cthulhu is now sleeping in the underwater city of R'lyeh. Only when the stars return to their correct positions will R'lyeh float to the surface, and the long-sleeping Cthulhu will also revive and bring destruction to mankind..."

"This is a legend circulated among believers, but part of this legend is being fulfilled."

"For example, the wandering planet that made a lot of noise the day before yesterday was the pioneer Gheros who could return the position of the planet to the correct position..."

Qin Zhibo said a lot in one breath.

Conan listened carefully, but his eyes were sometimes shocked and sometimes heavy.

He had heard of the famous name "Cthulhu" a long time ago, and he had also investigated it on the Internet.

That time Qin Zhibo asked him for clues in the United States, and he also learned about "Cthulhu" for the first time.

After searching on the Noah's Ark Knowledge Website, the result was that Cthulhu was a kind of legendary god.

And the gods that appeared in this legend were collectively called "Old Ones".

Later, Conan didn't know much about it.

Now when he heard the name "Cthulhu" again, Conan was shocked, and he had a sense of seriousness and mission in facing the enemy of fate.

After experiencing the parallel world, he is now very accepting of these gods, monsters and the like.

He is a materialist. As long as it is proved that these things do exist, he will not deny them and accept the rationality of their existence.

But correspondingly, if he wants to verify the existence of something, he will not just listen to one side of the story.

Even though this person is one of the detectives he admires the most...

"Assuming that Cthulhu exists, why hasn't there been any sea city on Earth since the appearance of 'Ghros'..."

Conan asked the key point.

Qin Zhibo was also prepared. After a pause, he replied.

"This is also what I am most worried about at the moment. Humans still know too little about the ocean."

"Humans have developed less than 5% of the ocean, and they cannot monitor what is happening in the vast sea in real time."

"So maybe some changes have already occurred, but we, as a group of people who are relatively slow to perceive Cthulhu, have not noticed it yet."

"That's why your uncle and aunt need to go outside and investigate the situation of local believers."

When Conan heard the title of "uncle" and "aunt", he frowned slightly, unable to completely accept this relationship.

He moved his numb butt and asked, "Where is the place?"

"Innsmouth."

Qin Zhibo didn't make any detours this time and told Conan the location directly.

After all, no matter how anxious Conan is, he can't fly to the United States by himself.

As for choosing this location, Innsmouth is probably the place with the largest number of Cthulhu believers in the world.

The people there are simple and sincere, making it a good place for investigation.

Hearing this place name, Conan nodded clearly.

In fact, he has never heard of this place name, but he can search it online after he returns.

At this point, Qin Zhibo has finished explaining everyone's tasks for the next period of time.

The Kudo couple went to the United States to cooperate with various investigative organizations, including but not limited to the FBI, CIA, and ICPO.

The Black Feathers went to Innsmouth to investigate the recent reactions of believers and whether Cthulhu had issued some kind of "oracle" recently.

Also investigate as many details as possible about the legend of Cthulhu.

For example, the specific location of R'lyeh and other conditions for Cthulhu's resurrection.

Once you understand these two points, you may be able to figure out the organization's next plan.

Qin Zhibo returned to Japan and tried to find a way to work with the undercover agents lurking in the organization to obtain the list of undercover agents placed outside by the organization.

Only by eliminating these undercover agents can the alliance become meaningful.

Conan and Kuroba Kai fight...

Since he is a minor, he will serve as a reserve.

This series of decisions made Conan and Kuroba Kaito quite dissatisfied, but they had no choice but to look downcast.

Seeing the unhappy look on Conan's face, Qin Zhibo felt that he should arrange something for this kid to do, otherwise he would definitely get into trouble and cause trouble again.

It just so happened that Qin Zhibo had something he cared about, and it wasn't too dangerous, so it was more suitable for Conan to do.

"When I was investigating an organization-related case 17 years ago, I discovered that someone had posted information about the case on the Internet."

"I looked up this person's network IP and found his address, but I don't know who he is."

"When I return to Japan, I will give you the address and you can check it for me..."

As soon as he heard that it was related to the organization, Conan, who originally felt disappointed, instantly cheered up and his eyes lit up.

how to say?

Mosquito legs are also meat!

Moreover, this kind of investigator job is very suitable for me at first glance!

After Qin Zhibo finished explaining, he turned his head and thought of another thing.

"By the way, when you go back, pay more attention to Haiyuan Ai."

"Haihara Ai?" Conan was a little confused, "What happened to that guy?"

Qin Zhibo thought for a moment and told Conan about the matter.

"Actually, Haihara Ai's mother, Miyano Elena, is still alive..."

Hearing this, Conan was startled for a moment, then showed a shocked expression.

At this time, Qin Zhibo continued: "It's just that according to the current situation, Elena Miyano is not on our side..."
