That, in itself, is the reason—he's lazy so often, and since he's lazy so often, he can't figure things out. Yusaku, on the other hand, can be lazy, but it doesn't stop him from figuring things out.
Fair enough.
But why is Anokata suggested? We don't even know if he or she exists. We haven't seen this "boss" make any decisions if not in the BO's mouth. Maybe this unknown is a big idle person who doesn't even care and let Gin, Vodka (or anyone else) have the final say.
'Why such a man would be the head of a criminal organization knowing everybody can turn against him' you'll tell me - maybe he has a lot of money idk LoL
While Kogoro is known as a detective after all... and lazy is not stupid. This topic deals with the "smartest" according to us or the "most active"?

Life can be so many things... what it is for me and for you is up to us to decide.

We know too little about "that person" to even make that kind of assessment—clearly, he/she had quite the input on the Kir will kill Akai plan, though.

Raw brain power—Kogoro has to get out of lazy mode to harness it... Yusaku, Heizo, Shinichi/Conan, Shuichi/Subaru, Heiji, Saguru and Kaito/Kid don't.

Two living spies, currently? I'd hardly call that cause for people complaining that the BO is like the criminal organization in The Man Who Was Yesterday... thing is, though, we spent from File 499–File 897—from November 2004 to May 2014—focused on those two spies, and revealed the existence of two dead spies... for 398 of DC's 933 files... had there been 68 more files from these two arcs, focusing on Kir and Bourbon (and especially Bourbon) would've comprised half of DC.
“Life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man could invent. We would not dare to conceive the things which are really mere commonplaces of existence. If we could fly out of that window hand in hand, hover over this great city, gently remove the roofs, and and peep in at the queer things which are going on, the strange coincidences, the plannings, the cross-purposes, the wonderful chains of events, working through generations, and leading to the most outre results, it would make all fiction with its conventionalities and foreseen conclusions most stale and unprofitable.”

If Kogoro wasn't a lazy gold digger he'd be slightly smarter than Sera...

Um, Haibara and Agasa. Solving murders isn't, and will never be more impressive than inventing impossible things.

Yusaku is too lazy for that.

I'm probably not even kidding.

I would like to add Haibara, Hakuba and Shuukichi to the list :)
Met DC by chance then about 3 hours later it scared the sh*t out of me in Spring 2001 and I ran for my life.
But boredom made me come to it once again in Winter 2004.

And I fell for it. Ever since then. Though sometimes it still frightens me like the first time :)

^ also I'm pretty sure he wants Shinichi to solve it since it's Shinichi's problem and not his.

Should Hakuba be included? Technically he's Magic Kaito, not DC.
Also I'm not sure if there's still that problem where the data gets deleted if the poll is changed/edited.

I'd add Ai and Agasa to this list as well. They're both really smart. Just because they don't go around solving murder cases doesn't mean they aren't. Also, even though he'd be out of his league with the others on the list, Mitsuhiko is pretty smart for his age.

Anyway, from the choices...yeah, I'd go with Yusaku.

I have yet to see any proof that Yusaku is a better detective than Shinichi.

He was smarter in the yukionna case and in the case where they wanted to take ShinConan with them because of the threats. I'm pretty sure. Also there's the thing that Yusaku isn't even a detective to begin with...

1/ Anokata
2/ Yusaku/Heizo
3/ possibly Rum
4/ Gin
5/ Haneda
6/ Shinichi
7/ KID
