Does solving this in any way require knowledge of any of the suspects preferred or customary avatars?

Hmm... the avatars themselves as clues! What a fiendishly delicious idea! Someone write that one down for the next mystery.

maybe ... maybe not ... depends on who [or whom] you currently suspect .... now ... which may change .... there's still a week to go you know ....

[remember .... there's always the power of the lucky totally random guess ... or maybe a random killer ... always the hardest to detect ...]

Does this help?

I only brought it up because of the cat hairs and there being several folks around here who habitually use a cat as an avatar, not the least of which was the suspect Zelda just interviewed.

I guess the question comes down to who/what is being interviewed. For example, when Zelda talked to Nekokami was she talking to a cat-shaped avatar or a human being with a strange name?

I'm thinking person since SneakySnake helped Zelda with her "hands". Which means the cat hair (and how did she know it was cat hair) in the parlor is from an as yet introduced actual cat. Or perhaps some people will be themselves (ie people) while others will be their avatars, and some we'll be left guessing at.

It's elementarily so obvious who the culprit isn't, is it not? surely you can see that obvious clue that is so obvious it has a big neon sign attached to a hand pointing right on the culprit who is not, obviously, so far at this moment in time totally and utterly not the one upon whom the finger or hand of blame shall be pointed at this time -- we await further clues of a somewhat subtle nature in order to ascertain the culprit who is not the culprit or thereof as the case may be....according to the design of this devious plot....

I may as well just shoot an arrow and hope it hits the guilty party for as much clue as I have right now!

No........usually I use my stick.

Maybe that would work.......just start turning in a circle and swinging at anything that moves.....SOMEONE has to be hit!

Of course it isn't me!!! Kindly, blue-haired, cookie baking grandmothers never do the deed, don't you read mysteries?
