I hate how I can't argue with this logic, even if it means Ange isn't it.

She kills Amakusa and the boat guy, on suspicion that they were luring her into a trap (Which at least Amakusa definately was).
Nanjo didn't really do anything other than keep his books clean, Rudolph I think did more than just throw money at the problem and the room was guarded by two people. There's no single point of failiure in the system, and Amakusa wasn't even employed by Eva by this point.
And again, she'd need to either be poisoned with something like Thallium that can't be detected on common tests, yet would still give the right symptoms to be passable as an unspecified terminal disease, or be chronically exposed to something without anyone knowing, which is nigh impossible. Even something as exotic and ridiculous as dimethylmercury would show up on a common heavy metals test, and that's before you get into the mismatch of chronic symptoms.

From a meta standpoint, it also violates Knox, which is a pretty weak defense but I think it still holds water in this case. When Umi violates Knox too blatantly, it's usually because it has to hide everything behind some ridiculous explanation so as to not spoil the rest of the story.
Eva died from some terminal disease, and was immensely paranoid to the end. The only way to have Ange kill her would be via an extraordinarily elaborate and mysterious setup that wouldn't show up on a common, or probably even an extensive autopsy if Eva freaked out and demanded it randomly, all while being in high school in a shared bedroom and miles away from the target when she fell sick.

Applying Occam's razor either gives us this highly improbable murder plot that more or less amounts to "We can't be certain Ange didn't kill her because we don't *know* everything was perfectly set up", or Eva died from natural causes, probably aggravated by stress and depression from losing her beloved son and husband.

Is it possible? In theory, yes. However, that's more or less like saying a witch did the Rokkenjima murders because someone said so and no one can say for sure otherwise. The whole point of the game is to find the correct path through the mystery, and avoid theoretically possible scenarios like how Question Arc Battler makes bullshit up in order to wind via absurdity, and find a logically sound way to show how they happened without resorting to "Trap X" and "Method Y" to give a handwavium answer without really knowing how it could be done.
