...In my opinion neither Anchu nor Linae could be guilty because, according to my logic, at 5:00 Anchu was with Banju (and Hoban) and Linae was in the same area as Kentari... and at 6:00 Anchu and Linae moved below deck to both work on the leak together (Linae could not have gone down sooner as a result of the implications of the "time" information given by Anchu's story)
I'm sorry but I really have to disagree with you
I believe one of them are lying. There is a fact: one of these four pushed Hoban overboard. Whoever pushed Hoban overboard had to have a reason to do that, a motive. To hide his/hers motive they need to tell the interviewer what happend without giving away their motive or events that happend that can link that person to the crime.
I have also concluded with one more thing to be true to help me with this "plot": Captain Tuans story. I believe his story is true because he is not one of the options in the drop-down menu of suspects, and he is the only other side we can read about.
So the most suspicious thing I find is Anshu's story:
1. It is after his story "we" say that we know what happend. Why dont we interview Shumi and Orrin? Even thou they might not have been able to do it (Orrin being loocked up and stuff) they could probably have had more information. Its normal to inreview everybody who know something.
2. When the storm came Anshu says: "Upon receiveing instructions from the captain we hurried to carry out our assignments". On a ship that small, with only 8 people/pets on board, everybody know what to do during a storm! It is also not mentioned in any other story that the captain gives out orders to the crewmembers. Also in the kaptains, kentaris and bonjus story, Anshu is on deck the first time of the storm.
3. Linae says at the end of the storm she helped Anshu with the leak. So Anshu has been working on that leak the entire storm! Not been seen by anyone! I think Linae is just backing up his story by saying she helped him. Giving him an alibi.
This is a small part of the story as I believe it happend. I dont have the patience to write my whole theory....
