Richard Moore was one of the many unfortunate detectives lost in the shuffle due to Jimmy's unparalleled success as a crime-solver. But perhaps no one has profited more from Jimmy's disappearance than Richard. With Conan tagging along Richard's services are regularly called upon in the most difficult and high profile criminal investigations. And because Conan is not taken seriously because of his being a child, Richard gets the credit for solving the cases. Richard is quick to jump to conclusions, a trait that seems to go against being a top-notch detective. However, Richard is an experienced detective. He just somehow can't seem to uncover the final piece of the puzzle.
