When they get back at 2:20, an ambulance has just arrived, having been called by a pedestrian who almost was hit by the falling man. The man on the pavement is identified as Masaaki Ogata, a loan shark. As it takes on average 5-6 minutes for an ambulance in Tokyo to reach the site of an emergency, Conan asks when the call was made, and learns at about 2:10, right after man hit the pavement. 10 Minutes is a long time for someone to drop five floors, though.
In the office of the loan shark signs of a struggle are found, and traces of someone who has been dragged from the balcons into the office. Also, there is a drivers license issued to Ryouhei Honda, and his glasses are found on the balcony outside of the railing.
After searching, Detective Chiba finds Honda who takes him hostage. He claims to have lost his memory.
