Resolution

The killer is Takeo Izumi. He killed his boss Ikuko when she first threatened to take him to court for a huge lost sum of money, then openly and cruelly told him that she had asked Izumi's much loved parents into selling their country land for his sake. So Izumi lost it and choked Ikuko with his own hands, and one of her contact lenses fell in his clothes. The person who actually met up with the police, however, was Ikuko's daughter Chihiro, wearing similar bed clothes and a mask on. She did so after finding Ikuko's body, trying to avert being signaled as the culprit.
