The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Patrick's words caused Qin Zhibo and Bentang Yingyou to think briefly.

Even Qin Zhibo didn't expect that there was a lot of history behind Ethan Hontang, a hidden government department that specializes in mysterious knowledge and taboo existence, similar to the Man in Black in "Men in Black".

As far as he knew, the only positive organizations currently in contact with those taboo levels seemed to be the Nine Angels and the Green Delta.

There is also the former Randy Hawke's Wonderful Circus, which should be considered a small group that has come into contact with mysterious knowledge.

In fact, that's right.

Qin Zhibo has come into contact with many groups with evil purposes, such as Zoroastrian Cult, Yellow Brotherhood, Voodoo Cult, Tulpa Secret Cult, Blood Tongue Organization, Women's Expansion Society, etc.

Since there are these organizations in the world, there should be positive groups to counter them.

However, Qin Zhibo was not very optimistic about the existence of the Green Delta. He still extracted key information from the story.

"In other words, the U.S. government does not recognize the existence of the Green Delta now?"

Patrick nodded, "Theoretically, we are a 'non-existent' organization, just like the OSS in the past and the CIA now."

"Our achievements are destined not to be made public, but our failure will have far-reaching consequences..."

"But even so, we are determined to protect the people from the threat of paranormal phenomena."

As soon as these words came out, a glimmer of crystal clear light appeared in the eyes of Hondo Yingyu, who had already determined to join them.

It turns out that my father and sister are doing such a great thing...

Patrick's words are exactly the dogma of the CIA organization and the current situation of Green Delta.

In fact, Patrick did not tell all the important information about the Green Delta.

For example, the U.S. government did not completely abandon research on mysterious knowledge and taboo existence, but established a new department to replace Green Delta.

The new department is called Mj-12. The famous urban legend Area 51 was founded by Mj-12!

In 1947, the CIA was established to replace the OSS, and Mj-12 and Green Delta existed at the same time.

The two departments are somewhat similar, but also have many differences.

MJ-12 was established based on the "Roswell Incident" of 1947, which was the most famous UFO crash incident in the world at that time.

The president at the time believed that taking the lead in contacting aliens could lead to stronger science and technology and then dominate the world, so he decided to establish MJ-12 and approved the establishment of Area 51 north of Las Vegas.

Therefore, the main mission of Mj-12 is to contact and cooperate with aliens. It is a "spear".

The original purpose of the establishment of Green Delta was to investigate mysterious knowledge and to fight against the SS's "Index Society" to reject all threats from outside and serve as a "shield".

The starting points for the establishment of the two organizations are different, and their concepts are very different, leading to constant conflicts between the two parties.

In the end, Green Delta was defeated in the conflict and was removed from the official government department.

This also leads to the fact that to this day, the biggest enemy of Green Delta is still the Mj-12.

Mj-12, without the Green Delta as a competitor, has become increasingly powerful and has cooperated with the alien "Grey Forces". It is currently in hot demand.

In comparison, Green Delta is currently only 26×3, with a total of 78 "on-staff" members.

Although in addition to these formal members, Green Delta also has many "facilitators".

Some of them fully understand the organization's situation, while others have only a partial knowledge, or simply don't know the existence of the Green Delta.

When Ethan Hontang asked Vince Qin to assist, he also wanted to develop the latter into a facilitator, and maybe even officially enter the "cell".

However, Green Delta currently does not know enough about Qin and has not told him the hidden rules of cell nomenclature.

That is, the members whose letters come first in the green triangle are closer to the core of the organization.

The three members of Cell A are the three giants of Green Delta.

…

Afterwards, Qin Zhibo and Patrick had a series of conversations about the current situation.

The first thing is to get in touch with Reina Mizuna who is far away in Japan.

In fact, Mizuno is not a formal member of the Green Delta. She is a CIA agent who helps Ethan connect with new contacts. Strictly speaking, she is a "facilitator".

And he is the kind of helper who knows nothing about the existence of the Green Delta.

Because of this, after the complete failure of E-cell, Green Delta has not tried to send anyone to contact Reina Suiwu in these years.

Although a bit cruel, Rena Mizuna is just an abandoned child, and the only way is to save herself.

However, the situation is different now. Reina Mizuno has reconnected with the organization and successfully gained its trust, allowing Green Delta to see value again.

"We hope to use you and Ethan's daughter as the core to re-establish E cells and resume Green Delta's activities in Japan."

Patrick's words made Qin Zhibo see the true purpose of his trip.

Although Qin Zhibo himself found them in order to let Shui Wulian get in touch with the organization.

But as soon as they got in touch, these people couldn't wait to squeeze out the remaining value of Shui Wu Liannai, instead of taking the lead in ensuring the safety of their own people. This condescending approach made Qin Zhibo a little unhappy.

So, he replied bluntly: "Why should I join you?"

"After all, you are no longer an official department, but a conspiracy organization with less than 78 people in total. What are the benefits of joining you?"

Qin Zhibo's 180° change in attitude made Patrick a little confused. Didn't we still have a good conversation just now?

The inexperienced Bentang Yingyou didn't understand what was wrong with Qin Zhibo, with a puzzled expression on his face.

"But when you contacted us, didn't you just want to continue the mission?"

"That's right..." Qin Zhibo did not deny it, but then changed the topic, "But if you want to complete the task, you can also have different standpoints."

"Shuiwu wants to avenge his father and fulfill Ethan's last wish, and I am just a helper between friends."

"As for Ethan wanting me to be his assistant, it's just that he is overly worried. I am not stupid enough to be willing to take such a big risk for uncertain things. The pursuit of the truth is just a temporary curiosity."

Patrick stared slightly, not knowing how to proceed.

"But didn't you say yesterday that you were willing to take risks?"

Qin Zhibo snorted coldly, "I did, but I took risks for the friends I care about, not for the interests of any organization."

"What's more, it's an unfamiliar organization and an uncertain mission..."

"Sorry, I'm afraid I'm not that 'dedicating' yet."

Patrick was stunned in his seat, with a stiff expression not knowing what to say further.

Just then, a voice came to his ears.

"Give him the headphones and let me talk to him."

Hearing this calm voice, Patrick breathed a sigh of relief, took off the pocket wireless headset in his right ear, and handed it to Qin Zhibo.

"Someone wants to talk to you."

After taking the earphones, Qin Zhibo raised the corners of his mouth slightly without leaving any trace.

Before entering the cafe today, he had already paid attention to the cars on the street.

Although the road was lined with cars, the Cadillac that Patrick drove in yesterday was not there.

This shows that he came here in someone else's car today.

After entering the cafe, as expected, Qin Zhibo saw the investigation point on his body.

The button on the chest of Patrick's suit marks an investigation point.

【Topographic Survey√】

[This is a pocket camera]

This is similar to the camera Gin asked Reina Mizuno to wear to monitor Yasuki Domon's death, except this time he was the one being secretly monitored.

This shows that in this meeting, Patrick was only promoted to play a small role as a lobbyist, and the real boss was someone else.

Qin Zhibo put on his headphones, and the voice coming from inside was older than expected.

"Hello, my name is Alfonso."

Alphonse, whose initials are A, is a member of the A cell.

Does it mean that the higher the cell letter is, the higher its status in the green delta is?

"Hello." Qin Zhibo replied in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.

The other person's voice continued, "Your observations are very keen. You are worthy of being the FBI's ace agent."

"You said that on purpose just to have a conversation with me, right?"

"Not entirely..."

Qin Zhibo's eyes were focused on the "button" on Patrick's chest, and the implicit intention was already very obvious.

"If we can't have a frank and honest discussion, I'm afraid no one will benefit in the end, right?"

The other party's voice considered it and agreed: "Okay, let's meet and have a talk."

"The first black Ford to turn right out of the gate."

Qin Zhibo received the location, returned the earphones to Patrick, and gave another instruction to his disciple Yingyou.

"Don't leave here, I'll come back as soon as I can."

…

After walking out of the cafe, Qin Zhibo walked to the right.

There are many cars in Manhattan, New York. The cars on both sides of this street are almost full. Without superb driving skills, it is impossible to even park the car here.

Lexus, GM, Mercedes-Benz...

After passing several other car brands in succession, Qin Zhibo stood in front of the black Ford car.

At this time, there was a "click" sound from the car door as the door lock was unlocked, indicating that people outside could enter.

Qin Zhibo opened the car door, and there was an old man with white hair and a kind face sitting in the back seat of the car.

"Come in, the air conditioner in the car is very cool."

It's midsummer in the eastern United States now, and it's really cool to get into an air-conditioned car.

Qin Zhibo sat in the car, turned slightly sideways, and stretched out his hand.

"Hello."

Facing this palm, the old man smiled and said: "It's a little strange for you to insist on shaking hands even though you are already sitting in the car..."

Even so, the old man still stretched out his hand and shook it with Qin Zhibo.

【Survey√】

Name: Joseph Camp

Sex: Male

Age: 78

Occupation: Librarian

Social Credit: 4200

…

This information surprised Qin Zhibo. The suspected leader of Green Delta was actually a plain-looking librarian?

Is this the same as the Shaolin sweeping monk?

The two let go of their hands and began to talk formally.

"I need to know the purpose of Green Delta sending Ethan to infiltrate the organization? Is it to investigate the murder case of capitalist Amanda?"

Now that he met the leader of the opposing organization, Qin Zhibo asked sharp questions.

In response, Alfonso nodded, but his tone was not so sure.

"From the CIA's perspective, that's true."

“But don’t forget, our Green Delta was established to protect people from paranormal threats.”

"The history of Green Delta mentioned by Patrick just now is not the most complete. In fact, Green Delta was born long before the establishment of OSS."

"Green Delta was really born in 1917 and was affiliated with the P Section of the U.S. Naval Intelligence Department, which specializes in investigating and studying paranormal phenomena."

"The first large-scale operation in the Green Delta was Operation Mystery Box in 1928."

"Just like the name of this action, this is the opportunity to open Pandora's box..."

When he heard this time, Qin Zhibo felt a little familiar.

Isn't this the time when the small town of Innsmouth was raided and the Dagon Cult suffered a heavy blow?

Alfonso's next words also confirmed Qin Zhibo's suspicion.

"In 1928, we organized the FBI and the Marine Corps to conduct a raid on Innsmouth, a small town east of Boston."

"During the operation, we discovered many unknown secrets..."

"The case of cultists you investigated in the New Orleans area four years ago was related to some events from that year. Those Dagon cultists are all descendants of Innsmouth people."

"Since that operation, Green Delta has been dedicated to tracking and observing the descendants of Innsmouth people in other areas, most notably the Marsh family of Innsmouth."

"The Marsh family began to establish the Dagon Cult in Innsmouth in the early 19th century. In just a few decades, Innsmouth was transformed into an isolated kingdom."

"After Operation Mystery Box, the Marsh family was expelled from Innsmouth and established New Era Technologies in 1934."

"The New Era was still very weak at that time, but it grew rapidly through the war and soon became a multinational company. Taking advantage of the victorious country's advantages, it established branches and research units all over the world."

"Of course, we at Green Delta have also been paying close attention to every move of New Era Company to prevent them from trying to restore yesterday's glory."

“Evidence shows that New Era secretly manipulated a large number of human experiments in places such as Japan’s American Island.”

"It wasn't until 25 years ago that New Era's pharmaceutical group in Japan collapsed, allowing us to discover an organization that might be more threatening than the Marsh family."

"This organization is exactly the organization that Ethan infiltrated 17 years ago, and Ethan's purpose of infiltrating the organization is also to rescue the scientists of the former New Era Company who were taken under the organization's control."

With that said, Alfonso took out a document bag from his side and handed it to Qin Zhibo.

Qin Zhibo took the document bag, unwrapped it, and pulled out two files from it.

The name of the first filer was Miyano Atsushi.

The name of the person in the second file is Elena Miyano.
