A middle-aged man next to him nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Uncle Mori was sweating profusely, racking his brains to figure out what the answer was. This time, it was not just a mystery; it had put Uncle Mori's reputation as a great detective on the spot!
If you can solve it, that's fine, but if you can't, that would be too embarrassing!
As a man who values his reputation, Uncle Mori wouldn't allow such a thing to happen!
"But I just can't figure it out!" Uncle Mori muttered to himself.
At that moment, Uncle Mori felt someone tugging at him. He looked down and saw it was Mitsuyu. He asked, "Mitsuyu, why don't you go play somewhere else? Don't disturb Uncle's thinking about the puzzle, okay?"
Guangyou glanced around, as if afraid someone would hear, and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Uncle, I know the answer!"
Uncle Mori suddenly became excited: "Little Guangyou, quickly tell Uncle the answer, and Uncle will treat you to something delicious later!"
However, Guangyou shook his head: "No need for the good food, I won't let Uncle spend money. Uncle, come closer and I'll tell you!"
Hoping for an answer, Uncle Mori crouched down next to Kōyū, and Kōyū whispered a few words into Uncle Mori's ear.
Suddenly realizing what was happening, Uncle Mori clapped his hands and said to Teiji Moriya in the distance, "Mr. Moriya! I know the answer! The answer is Momotaro, right!"
Teiji Moriya turned around and looked at Uncle Mori with some surprise: "Why did Detective Mori say that?"
Uncle Mori coughed lightly as usual: "Because of the three people's zodiac signs, their names are Shen, You, and Xu, which represent the monkey, rooster, and dog. These three animals are all Momotaro's sidekicks!"
Upon hearing the answer, everyone exclaimed "Oh!" and finally understood the mystery. Teiji Moriya walked up to Uncle Mori with a smile and said, "As expected of the famous detective Kogoro Mori, you truly live up to your reputation!"
Hearing the praise, Uncle Mori grinned from ear to ear, his tongue lolling out. He thought to himself, "Kuyou is such a good guy. He let me shine and saved me money to go drinking. He's much better than that arrogant brat Conan!"
Conan, standing nearby, seemed somewhat surprised that Uncle Mori had answered the question correctly. He glanced at Kouyu standing next to him and squinted his dead fish eyes: "As expected, it was Kouyu who told me, but this kid beat me to it again. How annoying!"
