Resolution

The there victims actually murdered each other albeit unintentionally. Chika wanted to make it looked like Yuuichi and Kouko planned to kill her by injecting poison into two of her chocolate bars and then hid the syringe inside Yuuichi's room.

Yuuichi's death was because he took the poisoned sleeping pills that Kouko Shimura intended for Chika to use, while Kouko died from the poison that Yuuichi Kaidou smeared on Chika’s glass. While Yuuichi was setting up the poison, Toda's call surprised him and he ended up bumping into the box of chocolate bars, causing them to fall on floor.

He then hastily picked them up changing the positions of the two poisoned chocolate bars. Unaware of this, Chika threw away two chocolate bars thinking they were the ones that she herself poisoned and accidentally picked up the poisoned bar and ate it, resulting in her death.
