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.

Resolution
It turns out
Masaaki Ogata tried to kill
Ryouhei Honda.
In the course of this, Honda fell from the roof onto the balcony, but wasn't yet dead. When he came to, he was amnesiac though, and before the police had arrived Ogata had tried to clean up all the evidence before attempting to dispose of Honda (most likely to bury him as evidenced by the items in his car). When Ogata went to pick up the glasses (that belonged to Honda) on the veranda to clean up all the evidence, Ogata had slipped and fallen from the balcony when he was surprised by the thunder and lightning at exactly 2:10 PM. As a result Ogata was mistaken to be the victim, when in reality he was the would-be murderer.
Later, Masaaki Ogata is arrested for robbery and attempted murder of Ryouhei Honda.
