251

Kogoro takes Conan and Ran to a ranch due to his love of horses. A prize-winning horse becomes spooked, leading the group to pursue it. Conan discovers blood on the horse's horseshoe and subsequently finds the farrier murdered. Investigation reveals the farrier was meeting a businessman intending to ruin the ranch's breeding program. Conan deduces the incident was not accidental, noting that chocolate was given to the horse as a stimulant to cover up the crime. The true cause of death is identified as a horseshoe applied incorrectly in haste. The criminal confesses to accidentally killing the farrier in self-defense, revealing the chocolate was merely a distraction for the actual murder.
