Detective Conan: The cases Kogoro solved by himself without having to “sleep”.

Don’t think Mouri Kogoro is useless, in fact there have been many times when this zinc-bearded uncle solved the case by himself.

Mouri Kogoro is an outdated policeman, people always call him “sleeping detective” because of the cases Conan borrowed his hand to solve. Mouri has a showy personality and is often attracted to pretty girls, but that’s not why we should look down on him. In “Detective Conan“, Mouri is often used by Conan to solve cases, thereby becoming famous.

However, it cannot be denied that this zinc-bearded detective is incapable of reasoning. During his career as a detective, Mr. Mouri had many times solved the case by himself without having to “sleep”. Of course, there would be some hints from Conan, but without a brilliant mind of deduction, Mr. Mouri would never have deduced the crux of the cases from those whims alone. The following are the cases that the zinc-bearded detective Mouri solved by himself without having to “sleep”.

The case related to the close friends

During his reunion with his close friends from school, Mouri Kogoro gets caught up in a traumatic case. He and his close friends had to witness the death of Yumi – the school beauty and former judo group manager. Mr. Mouri was heartbroken when he saw his old best friend murdered, moreover the killer could be one of the remaining close friends.

Mouri was very heartbroken and determined to find the culprit himself to bring justice to his deceased best friend. With his determination, Mouri made Conan sympathize and constantly gave small suggestions so that he could solve the case himself. With just a few small hints, Mr. Mouri soon solved the case and brought the culprit to light. Perhaps this is one of the few cases where Mouri doesn’t appear to be smug after solving it.

The case at the Beika Art Museum

Hearing rumors of a moving armor, Ran suggested Mouri and Conan take a tour of the Beika Art Museum together. This is a museum with a history of 50 years and is about to be demolished to build a hotel. It can be said that Mouri’s reasoning skills were most clearly portrayed by Gosho Aoyama in this case. Mr. Mouri had deduced the exact trick by which the killer had committed the crime with just a few small hints from Conan. It could be said that Mr. Mouri had immediately deduced the trick and identified the killer without much reasoning.

Thanks to this case, we can see that the reasoning ability of the zinc bearded detective is not average, just one level lower than Conan.

The case on Eri’s birthday

The case on Eri’s birthday

Ran tried to arrange for Mouri and Eri to meet for her mother’s birthday. Seeing that his father had spent a lot of time preparing a very meaningful gift for his mother, Ran was very anxious to want the two to get back together. But she did not expect that it was this arrangement of hers that created the opportunity for a case to take place in Eri’s own room.

With the intention of giving gifts to his wife, Kogoro was also very eager to solve the case to bring everything according to his arrangement. Sensing that uncle Mouri’s good intentions, Conan decided not to shoot the anesthetic, but would suggest to the uncle to perform this time. Through suggestions from Conan, detective Mouri quickly solved the case. Right after that was the “missing” gift giving of the detective uncle. However, that late birthday gift also touched Eri and gave Mouri a passionate kiss.
