Resolution
The killer was Akiko Yonehara, inspired by the death of Minako Mochizuki. Minako had found out that Sugiyama and another teacher (Shimoda, but she didn't tell that to Yonehara) were involved in a fraud, and added that she was planning to confront the unnamed teacher; the little girl was found hanged in the school gym few days later, an Yonehara deduced that she had been killed by Sugiyama and his accomplice.
Knowing the identity of only one of Minako's two murderers, Yonehara organized the trip to gather the teachers that she knew Minako was a fan of. She first killed Sugiyama and left his body out there, attacked Sonoko and pretended to be a victim as well to throw off suspicions, and used her lipstick to spell out Minako's name; Shimoda's panicked reaction revealed his involvment, so she tricked him into meeting up with her and killed him as well. The murder weapon was her wig: she had cut her hair too shortt for her liking a while ago, and then decided to use her wig to strange her victims (and Sonoko) without leaving clues.
