The culprit is Kozo Tokuyoshi. He did the fake kidnapping of White Spirits to get a life insurance policy payout on White Spirits which the date for the money requested was the day before White Spirits blanket was found. He would only do that if he knew White Spirits was dead because his employees reported to him that they killed White Spirits but White Spirits is alive because Saneaki Nagaura, Yasutaka Hase, Masao Shiomi and Chizuru Kakuta hide him at Kitado Stables where they used to work and White Spirits and White Legion were born instead of killing him while acting according to Kozo White Spirits kidnapping and Murder plot and increased there incredibility plot to Tokuyoshi because they loved that horse. They are also the ones who left the anonymous tip. The trailer used to transport White Spirits is at that stables you know. Saneaki Nagaura, Yasutaka Hase, Masao Shiomi and Chizuru Kakuta were bought with money which Kozo poached them and White Spirits. Tokuyoshi was under financial strain because of some reckless foreign investments which he decided to do the fake kidnapping and murder of White Spirits to fraudulently get a huge insurance payout. He used the debts of the employees that they owned to force them to carry out the crime. To stop him they disguised themselves and hired Kogoro to protect White Spirits. With a great detective on the case, they assumed Tokuyoshi would cancel his plans. However, Tokuyoshi believed a famous detective nearby would help him play the victim and carried out his plan. They pretended to follow his plan and hide White Spirits instead hoping to reveal the truth and that White Spirits was safe once Tokuyoshi requested the insurance money.

Later White Spirits returned to racing under a new owner.
