Form Reveals Itself in Words and Expressions, Words and Expressions Reveal the Spirit

"A member of a university club, no wonder."

Professor Agasa sat by the grill. "Summer vacation is almost over, so you're out having fun, just like us... But camping club activities? You guys must be an outdoor adventure club, right?"

"Yes, our club is called the Outdoor Enthusiasts Club."

Shirafuji Taimi nodded. "Our usual activities are hiking and going to the beach together. We've even been to Hawaii together."

As she spoke, she looked at Tendo Haruka beside her. "However, the core figure of our club is still Haruka-san. Without her help, our club would not be able to operate at all."

"That's not true."

Tendo Haruka chuckled softly, "Taimi cuisine is delicious, Reiji is very good at sports, and Fanhe is very good at outdoor activities. I can't do anything, so all I can do is contribute money to help everyone."

"I'm a rich girl who can't do anything, so all I can do is offer financial assistance to everyone... or something like that."

Shirafuji Taimi suddenly clasped her hands together, raised her head slightly, and said in a manner reminiscent of Suzuki Sonoko, "If I had the chance, I would like to say that too."

As she spoke, she looked at Fukuura Reiji standing to the side and teased, "It's such a waste to put him with Reiji, who only knows how to seduce women."

"Hello."

Fukuura Reiji was speechless for a moment. "Didn't I tell you you're very long-winded?"

"By the way, did you know each other before you went to college?"

Fujino glanced at the group and asked, "I think you guys get along quite well."

No, there isn't.

Shirafuji Taimi waved her hand. "We only became good friends after we went to university. Actually, it was because Haruka joined our club that our relationship developed so well."

"Is that so?"

Fujino glanced at the group, his eyes narrowing slightly.

He then quietly placed the grilled meat onto Ai Haibara's plate next to him.

Ai Haibara picked up her chopsticks and, in a cooperative manner, put the grilled meat from the plate into her mouth and savored it carefully.

Suddenly, she noticed Conan standing to the side, looking dazed. "What's wrong? This kind of high-class barbecue doesn't suit your taste, young master?"

"No."

Conan snapped out of his reverie. "I just suddenly remembered something."

"Is this your Ran sister?"

Ai Haibara glanced at the group and silently picked up a piece of grilled meat. "Come to think of it, it does look very similar."

Conan glanced at Haibara and chuckled, "I just felt something was off."

Something's not right?

Hearing this, Ai Haibara glanced at them and asked, "Is something wrong?"

"Something just doesn't feel right."

Conan rubbed his chin. "I can't quite put my finger on it, but I think Fujino definitely knows something too."

"Really? I don't have many friends and I don't understand."

Ai Haibara put the grilled meat in her mouth. "Since you think Fujino might know something, go ask him."

"Who's going to ask him..."

Conan pursed his lips, picked up a piece of grilled meat and put it in his mouth, but he was immediately burned. The strong-willed Conan took two deep breaths before he could barely swallow it.

Ai Haibara glanced at him. "I really don't understand you detectives."

Fujino silently placed the grilled meat onto Ai's plate, his eyes still scanning the crowd.

After some observation, he has basically determined the situation of these people.

Let's talk about Fupu first. He felt that this guy was very strange.

Is Tendo Haruka actually in a relationship with Fukuura that's similar to a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, or perhaps a relationship where Fukuura is pursuing her?

He didn't quite understand; after all, judging from their apparent relationship, it was far too cold.

The Shirafuji Taimi is also quite old. Judging from her words, she seems to be a very good friend of Tendo Haruka, but her tone feels very strange, even a bit sarcastic and mocking.

Finally, there's Tendo Haruka. Fujino thinks she's the one with the biggest problem.

Judging from her demeanor, this Miss Paradise was perceived by those around her as a wealthy young lady, and their words generally implied that.

Normally, she would indeed have a character design similar to Sonoko's.

However, Fujino believes that this Miss Paradise is not actually a rich woman.

Through his observation, he discovered that Tendo Haruka's hands were very rough upon closer inspection. This roughness was not truly rough, but rather a faint indication of frequent manual labor.

For example, frequently washing dishes, working as a cashier or moving goods in Convenience Store, etc., will leave such traces.

These traces accumulate over time and may not be immediately obvious to the naked eye, but they can be seen upon closer inspection.

Compared to using calluses to determine someone's specific occupation, these marks are more general, but they can also provide a quicker assessment of their lifestyle.

Those who live a life of luxury usually have very delicate hands, while the hands of military generals usually have calluses from using weapons, and the hands of farmers are exceptionally rough from doing farm work.

By observing the timing and extent of these traces, one can completely determine the other person's living conditions.

In ancient times, palmistry was used to examine someone's past life.

Take, for example, the people around him.

He had seen the Sonoko, the Momiji, and Ran's hands.

Sonoko's hands have a light layer of calluses where she shakes her hands, because she is a member of the tennis club and plays tennis often, but there is nothing else besides these marks.

Momiji's hands are very delicate, with some scratches on her fingers. The manicure on her fingertips is to protect her fingers, after all, she is a karuta player.

However, apart from the marks caused by exercise and work, there were no other marks on their hands, which was consistent with their pampered lifestyle.

But Ran was different. Although her hands were also beautiful, they were rather rough compared to those two young ladies.

After all, she usually took care of the laundry and cooking for the Mori family, so naturally those tasks would leave some traces.

The key point is that Fujino also saw this mark on Tendo Haruka's hands.

In other words, Tendo Haruka is not actually a rich woman, or rather, she is not a particularly wealthy woman from a wealthy family. At least she has to do chores like washing dishes herself.

Of course, Fujino's judgment was not limited to this point; he also considered the subtle expressions that the other party was revealing.

As the saying goes, "Form is expressed in words and expressions, and words and expressions are expressed in spirit."

In Tendo Haruka's eyes, he saw a faint trace of strange emotion, her movements and expressions were somewhat unnatural, and there was even a hint of fatigue and pressure.

It's hard to describe exactly what that feeling is like.

But he was very familiar with it; it was an inferiority complex that stemmed from the depths of his heart.

Based on all of this, he could guess that Tendo Haruka was a fake rich woman.

And her current image of being a wealthy woman is most likely an act of putting on a brave face.

If you think about it this way, everything makes sense.

Based on the performance of several individuals.

In Fujino's view, these so-called "good friends" should have already discovered that Tendo Haruka was not a rich woman.

As for why this matter hasn't been exposed yet, it can only be said that they still want to continue eating and drinking for free.

After all, they finally found someone who was putting on a brave face, so how could they possibly let this meal ticket slip away so quickly before they had squeezed him dry?
