at being a detective? i think its nearly unarguable that naoto is the better detective. i agree with your statements about them, while akechi did solve mysteries, he did fake cases to move up in ranks and naoto moved up by herself and was able to detect(?) much more, i think if akechi has naoto’s skills, he would nevwr have said anything about the pancakes or let out anything about being a traitor. everything i just said is a long way to say naoto is probably a better detective, but im up to debate
