Kogoro, Ran, and Conan assist at a rooftop farm where they find elderly farmer Takehiko Nakamura dead from a head injury. Conan identifies a shattered brick with a hole and deduces the murder method. He tranquilizes Kogoro to reveal that farmer Marie Inoue is the killer. Inoue hung a brick on the handrail, concealed it with a towel, and lured Nakamura via phone call. She pulled a rope to strike his forehead, causing him to fall into a water tank corner. Conan presents evidence linking the towel's paint mark to the handrail and locating the rope in Inoue's home. Inoue confesses, stating Nakamura destroyed crops grown from her father's final harvest.
