I'm reborn and I'm an international student again?

A few days later, Chen Xi, who traveled to Kurume City, the country of cherry blossoms, finally breathed a sigh of relief after a long flight of more than ten hours, and slowly walked out of the cabin door of the passenger plane.

At this time, he has left the vast land of Australia and is now in this tiny country full of Japanese style. (In fact, Sakura Country is not small, but it is small compared to Australia, haha.)
Chen Xi couldn't help but frown when he thought of the results of Xiao Ming's previous online search.

There is no such thing as a family name in Saori's family in large factories.

Saori is just the homophone of the prefix of her name in Sakura Country. Her full name is Saori Kakashi. (The first time I heard her say this name, I also laughed my ass off. But Saori Kakashi is just a translation by me. It is not so accurate, but the pronunciation is similar, so don’t worry too much about whether it is a surname or a given name. Anyway, it is roughly pronounced this way. This Saori, according to the homophone of English, is roughly translated into Sakura language as Saeki (it seems to be of noble descent, and is said to be one of their eight noble castes). As for the name at the end - Kakashi, I heard her mother call it roughly pronounced as kaka sei, so I translated it into Kakashi myself, so Saori’s name should be translated as Saeki Kakashi. As for how to call her in normal times, of course I call her by her English name.)
(The surname Saeki is said to be the result of the monarch establishing eight surnames, known as new surnames or eight-color surnames, which were given according to the closeness of each surname to the imperial family. "Saeki" is the third of the eight-color surnames, and its ancestors were a people who had served the court with force long ago and were given the surname Sukune. Sukune was a respectful title for nobles in the early days of a certain dynasty, but this title was abolished in the new surname system promulgated later. Despite this, the surname "Saeki" still retains its historical background.)
Could it be that Saori’s dad is just a small boss?

That’s not right. Look at what Saori wears and uses on a daily basis, they’re not cheap.

Sitting in the car, Chen Xi told the local tour guide an address according to the information Xiao Ming gave him. The car started quickly and headed towards the destination.

"You are here to do some business, right?" The tour guide quickly started chatting with Chen Xi.

"Yes, how do you know?"

"Because there are hardly any tourists here. Kurume City has a highly developed chemical industry centered on artificial rubber, and its output ranks first in the country. It is also one of the three major sake brewing areas in Sakura Country, and there are also agricultural industries such as vegetable and fruit tree planting nearby..."

"You mean this is the junction of factories and rural areas? But then again, who would put factories and farmland together? Wouldn't that make everything we eat harmful?"

"Hey, what do you think they want? Isn't it because the land area is limited?" The tour guide drove happily.

"Then do you know any famous local entrepreneur with this surname?" Chen Xi picked up a pen and paper, wrote down a name and handed it over.

"I don't know, because I just got here."

"..."

Damn, why did Xiao Ming, this unreliable guy, find such a tour guide for me?

"According to your request, we will be staying in Fukuoka Prefecture tonight..."

The tour guide was still talking to himself, but Chen Xi's attention was attracted by the scenery outside.

Kurume City does not have its own airport, the nearest airport is Fukuoka Airport. Along the way, Chen Xi felt that this place seemed pretty good, with both modern buildings and the kind of ancient castles seen in movies. According to the tour guide, this is also the birthplace of the Kuroda family.

Chen Xi had read books such as "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword" and "Tokugawa Ieyasu" before, so he had some understanding of the history of the Sakura Country.

After the Battle of Sekigahara, Kuroda Nagamasa was granted the territory of Chikuzen Province, which is now Fukuoka Prefecture, by Tokugawa Ieyasu because of his military achievements.

Fukuoka Prefecture has a fairly large population, about the same as Sumura.

"By the way, are you a corporate spy?"

"Cough cough."

The tour guide's sudden words choked Chen Xi to death.

"It seems like that's probably the case. Look how nervous you are. We are compatriots and we won't betray you." The tour guide raised his eyebrows in a mean way, as if to say, "I understand everything."

"Why do you say that?" Chen Xi asked back.

"Most of the foreigners who come here are here to discuss business. You came here alone, without even a companion, and you went straight to the detective agency after getting off the plane. You said you are not a corporate spy, but what are you? I now suspect that the detective agency is your accomplice..." The tour guide was quite confident in his reasoning.

"Ha, have you been here for too long and caught the second-year syndrome?" Chen Xi laughed when he heard that.

He always felt that the actors in TV dramas from Sakura Country were a little weird and didn't seem like normal people.

"Ha, I usually like to watch Detective Conan and Kindaichi, and I have to do some reasoning from time to time."

"Then may I ask, are the people in this detective agency really capable? They are not unreliable uncles like Maori Kogoro, are they?"

"You must not have watched Conan seriously. Maori Kogoro is pretending to be unreliable. In fact, he is a hidden boss. Maori Kogoro's shooting skills are first-class in the police force. If we go by this calculation, if Maori Kogoro does not resign and open a detective agency, I am afraid that he will most likely be promoted to police captain in the future, and his position may even be much higher than that of Inspector Megure..."

"Hey, you're going off topic. I want to ask you if the people in this detective agency are trustworthy."

"You'll know whether it's reliable or not once you get on top." At this time the car suddenly stopped and the tour guide pointed upwards.

Chen Xi stuck his head out of the car and took a look. It was a three-story building, one of those ordinary Sakura Country-style small buildings. There was a sign on it: Ghost Detective Agency, and there was a black bat painted above the sign.

"This is the address of the hotel. Just go there and register. Remember to call me if you need anything!"

"Hey, aren't you waiting here for me?"

"squeak!"

Chen Xi had just gotten out of the car and hadn't said a few words when the other party stepped on the accelerator and drove away, which completely left him speechless.

Where did Xiao Ming find such an unreliable guy?

Chen Xi looked up at the company sign hanging above his head, which exuded a somewhat strange atmosphere. Although he felt a little nervous, he had no choice but to bite the bullet, pick up his luggage, and step up the stairs leading to that place step by step.

"Dong dong dong."

The gloomy staircase, with its flickering induction lights like ghost lights, adds a touch of weirdness to this already slightly dilapidated scene.

Chen Xi stood in front of a slightly old wooden door, took a deep breath, and knocked gently a few times.

After waiting for a long time with no response, he could only turn the handle and push the door open.

This is a very ordinary office. The fluorescent lights above emit soft light, illuminating the entire space.

"Hello, is anyone there?" Chen Xi looked around and shouted, but there was no response.

Looking at the sofa in front of him, he put his luggage aside and prepared to sit down and wait.

However, after taking a few steps out, Chen Xi was stunned.

There was a dead body lying between the sofa and the coffee table.

After staring at the corpse for half a minute, Chen Xi chuckled and walked forward, gently touching the person on the ground with his foot.

Seeing that the person on the ground still didn't react, Chen Xi increased his strength.

"Baga." The person on the ground suddenly moved, then jumped up from the ground in an instant, uttering a Chinese quintessence.

"You bastard, why are you lying on the ground pretending to be dead?" Chen Xi cursed angrily.

"Chinese?" The young man, who looked a little funny in black tights, tilted his head and looked at him.

"Hey, I thought it was a Taijun, but it turns out we're a compatriot."

"You are the one who is too boring." The man stretched and loosened his stiff limbs.

"What are you doing lying on the ground? I've been knocking on the door for a long time." Chen Xi asked curiously.

"I was at the simulated crime scene and fell asleep without realizing it..."

"..." Looking at the second unreliable person he met today, Chen Xi slapped his forehead speechlessly.

A few minutes later.

"Is the commission clear?"

"Well, that's not important." The young man sat in the boss chair and touched the mustache he had deliberately grown under his nose.

"Then what's important?"

"Of course it's you." "Me?" Chen Xi pointed at himself.

"Yes, you are the vice president of the Returned Overseas Chinese Association, right? I am your loyal follower..." The young man stood up and grabbed Chen Xi's hand and shook it hard.

"Are you a member of the association?"

"Reporting to the Vice President. My name is Tanaka Yuya. I studied in the Land of Sakura and currently run a detective agency here..." The young man began to introduce himself.

"That's a tongue twister. What's your Chinese name?"

"Tanaka Yu is here!"

"Huh? What's the difference? How come your name has four characters? And why did you open a detective agency here?"

"Wadasiwa's father is from H country, and Wadasiwa's mother is from Sakura country. I am the result of the friendship between the two countries, so my name is a little different from others. My father's surname is Tian... I came here to open a detective agency because of my hobby. I have wanted to solve cases since I was a child..." The young man picked up a bamboo sword from the corner of the wall and chopped it in the air.

"Turns out you're a fake turtle. No matter how you look at it, you seem a bit fake...Are you sure there's no problem communicating with you, Plastic Sakurayu? By the way, have you solved any cases before?" Chen Xi felt more and more that this man was a bit unreliable.

"Find the lost cat, track the mistress and catch her cheating..."

"Okay, okay, stop talking. Just tell me if you can help me find that person." Chen Xi quickly stopped the other party and said.

"The population of Fukuoka Prefecture is about four million. Kurume City is a small place nearby with a population of about 200,000. There are other small cities nearby. You said that the girl's father runs a factory. I can search it first. Is there any other useful information?" Tian Zhongyou suddenly became serious, but only a little bit serious. He held Saori's photo and looked at it as he spoke.

"Why are you staring at my girlfriend's photo? Is there any clue on it?" After a few minutes, Chen Xi felt something strange. This guy seemed to never take his eyes off the photo.

"No...it's just...your girlfriend is so beautiful. I've been in Sakura Country for so many years, and I've never seen anyone as pretty as her."

"Fuck!" Chen Xi couldn't help but swear.

"You haven't mentioned any other useful information yet."

"My girlfriend's family is well-off. Her father should be a big boss."

"What else? Why are you here looking for it?"

Tian Zhongyou nodded and asked again.

Chen Xi could only tell the homonym of the dessert shop and Zhao Lingshan's guess.

"So, you have more than one girlfriend?"

"Can you please stop paying attention to these irrelevant things?" Chen Xi was speechless and just lit a cigarette.

Looking at the young man typing away on the computer keyboard, all he could do now was wait.

Chen Xi felt that he should investigate the young man in front of him thoroughly, as he had a somewhat strange identity.

He turned on his phone and started searching for the man's information in the Overseas Returnees Association.

"Are you looking for information about me?" After a while, Tian Zhongyou, who was searching for information on the computer, suddenly looked at him and asked.

Ok?
Does this guy really have some skills?
I was facing him, and he was able to figure out that I was investigating him?

Chen Xi was shocked.

"How did you know I was checking your information? It seems you are quite capable. I am becoming more and more confident about the following investigation." Chen Xi forced a smile.

"Of course I know." The young man replied with a hum.

"Tell me the reason. After catching a criminal, detectives usually have to reason from the beginning to convince the other party."

"The answer is very simple, you will know when you turn around." The young man pointed to the side of Chen Xi's body.

Chen Xi turned his head slightly in the direction the other party pointed, and the next second he uttered the word "Damn".

It turned out that there was a mirror hanging on the wall next to him, facing his phone.

Late at night, Chen Xi, who had been tortured by Tian Zhongyou all night, dragged his tired body to the door of the hotel.

"Fuck... I didn't know until I came here, I was shocked. This trip to the Land of Sakura is full of twists and turns."

Standing at the entrance of the hotel, looking at an old building, the doorplate reads: Huangyuan Empire Hotel.

empire?

Imperial Garden?

Chen Xi's mind was full of question marks.

After some twists and turns, I finally checked in successfully. Fortunately, the interior of the hotel is clean and elegant, which is in sharp contrast to the exterior of the building.

"Oh my, the rooms in this Sakura Country are so small. Fukuoka is not a megacity, so why do hotels have to save space?" Chen Xi stretched his legs while lying on the bed. Looking at the small room of only 30 square meters, he felt a little suffocated.

But after thinking about it, if this were to move to Tokyo, it would probably not be 30 square meters, but 13 square meters.

"Running from Australia to the Land of Cherry Blossoms, this is not shown in the movies like this. It's really a crematorium of chasing a wife. I never thought that there would be such a day." Chen Xi couldn't help but sigh as he took out his cell phone and looked at the photo of Saori with a sweet smile on it.

In the past, he always had an indifferent attitude towards women. In his heart, there was always only one saying: Those who want to leave cannot be kept.

Unexpectedly, this life is completely turned upside down.

"Damn, no, this Xiao Ming is too unreliable." Thinking of today's crappy tour guide and the crappy hotel arranged for him, Chen Xi got so angry that he picked up his phone and started bombarding Xiao Ming with text messages.

Australia, because of the time difference, Xiao Ming is already sleeping soundly in bed.

No matter how hard the phone vibrates, it won't wake up...

The next day, at the Ghost Detective Agency.

"Have you found out anything?" Looking at the man with messy hair lying in the boss chair, Chen Xi handed him a bottle of drink.

The man opened the bottle and drank it all in one gulp, as if he hadn't had any water in days.

He rubbed his dark circles, picked up a few A4 papers and said, "I checked all night yesterday, and there is no factory owner who looks like your girlfriend's father."

"Hmm? Could it be in another city?"

"It's possible, but that would be too much work. Do you know how many factories there are in Kyushu? No less than 100,000!"

"Oh my god!" Chen Xi was stunned after hearing this.

Kyushu is one of the four major islands in the Land of Sakura, and can be understood as a province in the country. Fukuoka Prefecture and Kurume City are just two of them. There are six cities of the same size as Fukuoka Prefecture, not to mention a small place like Kurume City.

This is indeed difficult to check.

"Is there any other way?"

"I think we should put up missing person posters everywhere with your picture on them."

"Are you a 2B? She may not want to see me... No, it's her dad who doesn't want her to see me."

"Then why are you here? Hehehe, I seem to have seen something I shouldn't have seen in the overseas returnee group. Our vice president seems to have a lot of women around him, and it is said that you are stepping on..." Tian Zhongyou suddenly laughed, and before he could finish his words, he was hit.
