The Islet Mystery 43

"Somebody saw both of you in a boat before the couple disappeared. Is it true?" An interrogation officer sitting across Andrew and Joanna asked them. The messy beard, his sturdy built and dark complexion made him look intimidating.

"Yes."

"Was there an argument among the four of you while you were on the boat?"

"No. We were happily chatting while enjoying the beauty of the surroundings," answered Joanna when the officer fixed his gaze at her.

"Where did you go after you separated?" 

"We went back to the hotel where we stayed while Allie and Adrian went back to the yacht."

"Did you see them leaving?"

"No," Andrew answered this time.

"What makes you say they went back to the yacht?"

"I just presumed they went back directly to the yacht because it was already dark and the whole family was there."

"So, none of you had seen them going up?"

"None."

"Have they mentioned about going somewhere during your chat?"
