Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 506 An Expatriate Mission

Looking at the white hut in front of him, the paint on the top is even a little corrupted and peeled off, revealing the original color of the wood underneath.

Qin Zhibo was taken aback for a moment, feeling like "this is it".

Do successful people live here?

Mr. Clock, who was walking in front, had already pushed open the fence gate, and Qin Zhibo followed closely behind, passing through the narrow courtyard decorated with rose bushes.

Mr. Clock rang the metal bell beside the porch, making a special rhythm of "ding-ding-ding".

The same rhythm was repeated twice, and a vague figure walked behind the light yellow frosted glass next to the wooden door and knocked on the door lock.

click.

The door opened, and a brown-haired woman greeted them.

Peter Evans, played by Mr. Clock, seems to be an old acquaintance with this woman, and the two nodded politely to each other without saying hello.

Qin Zhibo walked in with Mr. Clock, and when he passed by the brown-haired woman, both of them looked at each other in unison.

The woman appeared to be between 25 and 30 years old, with a relatively standard oval face, and a head of elegant long wavy hair protruding from the sides of the gray hood and hanging down her chest.

On her head, Qin Zhibo saw the name and general information: Diana Stanley, 27 years old, businessman, social credit 2000
This information is a businessman, not the president, which shows that her business has not yet reached the level where it can be called a company.

"Her name is Diana Stanley, and she runs a boutique with a good business in Arkham Town. If you are interested in her, you can visit her if you have time."

Mr. Clock, who was walking in front, was talking to himself, and Qin Zhibo quickly explained: "I'm not interested in her."

"Really?" Mr. Clock was a little surprised.

"That's my fault for blaming you."

Following Mr. Clock in this club for successful people, Qin Zhibo felt that the atmosphere here was a bit weird.

It's not that Qin Zhibo has never participated in gatherings of high society. For example, in Japan's gatherings of high-class people, people in suits and leather shoes often exchange glasses, chatting and laughing happily can lead to a cooperation or broaden their contacts.

But here, almost all the members stay in their own room, the door is closed, and they don't communicate with each other. Only a strange light dances from time to time under the door, swearing to the outside world that this room has an owner.

The doors of some rooms slipped through a gap, and Qin Zhibo saw the people inside lying on the bed naked, with their noses constantly twitching, like addicts.

Seeing someone passing by in the corridor, the person inside quickly jumped off the bed and closed the door tightly again.

bang——

After a dull closing sound, Mr. Clock introduced: "Successful human beings are often not as glamorous as they appear on the surface."

"They have suffered too much light from the front, leaving more darkness behind."

"This is the gathering place for those dark sides, and of course, it's not limited to the dark side of human nature."

Mr. Clock brought Qin Zhibo to the third floor of the screen cabin, which was also the top floor except the attic.

The classic wooden door blocks the two of them out, and Mr. Clock will gently knock on the door.

Boom, boom, boom.

"come in."

A thick voice came from behind the door, and this voice revealed a trace of elegance and calmness in the upper class.

Mr. Clock responded by pushing the door open, and a man in a tuxedo was sitting on the boss chair in front of the window, putting something he was busy with just now into the drawer of the mahogany table in front of him with both hands.

The man is tall and thin, with a monocle on the bridge of his nose. His slightly thin face and tuxedo make him look like a gentleman.

Qin Zhibo's eyes flicked over the man's body again, and looked at the top of the waxed hair under the light.

Carl Sanford, 52 years old, company president, social credit 6200
I don't know why, seeing this profession, Qin Zhibo has a feeling of "I'm in love with that".

Seeing Mr. Clock coming, Carl Sanford stood up with a gentle smile on his face.

"Peter, my loyal partner, you are finally here."

The two shook hands, and Carl's eyes turned to Qin Zhibo next to him.

"Mr. Carl, he is Michael Bay, the person I introduced to you."

"Michael, this is Mr. Carl Sanford, the president of the Arkham Local Chamber of Commerce, and the founder of the Arkham Successful People's Club."

Mr. Clock called Qin Zhibo "Michael Bay", which was the fake name Qin Zhibo had told him before.

"Hello, Mr. Carl Sanford."

The two held hands, Carl looked at Qin Zhibo with his eyes, and Qin Zhibo started the investigation quietly.

When Qin Zhibo let go of his hand, new information appeared in the system.

[Get the main task]

[Main task: Discover and investigate two members of the Silver Twilight Church]

[Task requirements: Within the United States, within 3 days]

[Task reward: 3000 general skill proficiency]

【Current progress: (1/2)】

The task suddenly appeared, and it suddenly showed that it was half completed, which made Qin Zhibo slightly stunned.

Carl Sanford, who was standing opposite, noticed this situation, smiled and teased: "What? Is there something on my face?"

Qin Zhibo came back to his senses and quickly shook his head, "No, no."

Qin Zhibo didn't dare to neglect the man in front of him.

In the information about Carl Sanford that he investigated, Qin Zhibo saw magical attributes and magical skills.

Qin Zhibo had seen these two attributes in Hongzi Koizumi and Spider from Brotherhood of Beasts.

Carl Sanford's magic power is the same as Koizumi Hongko's, that is to say, his magic power is probably equal to Koizumi Hongko's.

"Peter, did you tell him why I summoned him?" Carl Sanford turned to Mr. Clock and asked.

Mr. Clock shook his head, "Not yet, but you can explain it to him yourself."

In fact, Qin Zhibo asked about the specific content of Mr. Clock's mission, but Mr. Clock only said that it was a very suitable mission for him.

"Um--"

Carl Sandford groaned, turned around and sat down on the boss's chair, and lit the pipe on the table with a match.

Wisps of cigarette smoke floated out from the burning shredded tobacco. Carl took a deep puff and exhaled another puff of thick smoke before speaking slowly.

"Mr. Michael, I need you to enter another organization to complete some work. You can understand this as an assignment, but it is only temporary"

"After everything is over, you can still return to us and officially become a member of the 'Silver Twilight Brothers'."

"Of course, this mission is somewhat dangerous. Do you want to go?"

Qin Zhibo glanced at Mr. Clock next to him, and he exuded strong psychological hints with his human fake eyes.

Yes, Yes, Yes
"I agree." Qin Zhibo replied.

"very good."

Carl Sanford put down his pipe and sat up.

"The organization I want you to go to is called the Black Brotherhood."

"They're running short of manpower for their activities in Japan."
