Resolution

The culprit is Chiharu Shirakawa. Chiharu points out that Misuzu had always referred to as "Chiharu-san," yet her brother and sister were only referred to by name. Chiharu felt distant from the family for having been a daughter from her father's first marriage and not being related to Misuzu by blood. She had admired Misuzu as an actress and always tried to please her, but despite everything she did, it was never enough. The last straw was when she overheard the victim planning to take her out of the will.
