<spoiler>The culprit is the '''woman with scratches''', whose name is in fact '''Sakie Tsutsumi'''.
 +
 
 +
Her motive was that Tomomi had decided to cut some branches off her tree, as it was blocking the sunlight necessary for her garden. Ms. Tsutsumi had gone to confront her and had stepped through Tomomi's rose garden which was extremely thorny explaining the scratches on her legs. Tomomi was trying to explain why she cut the branches off her tree, but Ms. Tsutsumi wouldn't have it and shoved the garden sheers into Tomomi killing her.
 +
 
 +
Seeing what happened she buried Tomomi's body in her own garden and left hoping she would never be found. However, Tomomi's husband Masaki Higuchi started to look for her as a result Kogoro was put on the case and he started asking the neighbors questions about Tomomi. Ms. Tsutsumi saw this as a opportunity to frame Masaki and falsely told Kogoro that Tomomi and Masaki got into arguments often. And when Kogoro questioned the other neighbors they claimed the same thing, until it was revealed that Tomomi was also an aspiring actress. Which meant that all the "arguing" they heard was just acting from Tomomi's scripts that she was rehearsing with Masaki.
 +
 
 +
Walking near Masaki and Tomomi's home they hear Masaki yelling and see that Takagi and some MPD officers have arrived to his house. Masaki asks Kogoro for help, stating that the police said that they believe that Tomomi's body is buried in their garden. Takagi reveals that they got an anonymous tip from a phone call and decided to act. They later found Tomomi's body in the garden much to Masaki's shock and grief. It is later revealed that Ms. Tsutsumi sent that anonymous tip in the hopes of framing Masaki for good.
 +
 
 +
Ironically this backfired as this was what made Conan suspicious, which ended up helping solve this case. The evidence to prove her guilt was her blood on the rose bushes and on the garden sheers that was used to kill Tomomi. Ms. Tsutsumi reveals that she felt inferior after watching her and Masaki working so happily on their garden it make her sick and envious. She was pushed over the edge when Tomomi started cutting branches off her tree and caused her to kill her in retaliation.

Conan as Kogoro states that if she had not said anything and had not tried to frame Masaki then she never would have been caught. As Ms. Tsutsumi is being led away by Takagi, Masaki grabs a shovel and is about to attempt to kill her after learning that she killed his wife over something so petty. However Megure talks him down stating that this is not what his wife would have wanted, and she would want better for him. After remembering Tomomi and her smile, he relents and breaks down knowing that Megure is right.</spoiler>
