               the date of theft is the 10  of September, 2021 while her supposed purchase is on the 3  of
               November, 2019.
               Johnson: So, she gets the insurance claim with the document of purchase and she also manages

               to bring down the reputation of her fellow colleague who has some dirt to hid.
               George: That is quite plausible, but it does not explain who the actual thief is.

               Harry: Definitely gives Kenneth motive to claim that Hunt committed the theft. Especially

               since she can spin that story by claiming she had incriminating material on Hunt.
               Jenna: Gentlepersons, I think you should look at this before you make such a decision.

               Mary: What is it?
               Jenna: It’s from Mr. Hunt’s phone. Specifically, in the spam section of his SMS. It’s from an

               unknown number and written just like any other SMS scam but look at this, the words “GOT

               IT” are always in capital.
               George: You think that it was some sort of secret message to Mr. Hunt? Quite a circumspect

               way to get it done though.
               Harry: Or it’s just another spam with some fancy lettering.

               Mary: I think we should break off over there for now. How about we try to see some other,
               more concrete pieces of information?

               Jacob: I think we can agree to that.

               (Silence and mild murmuring. After 20 minutes.)
               Johnson: So, have any of you come up with some other way that this crime has happened?

               Jenna: Nothing better than what has already been said.
               George: I suppose that we can begin our vote.

               Harry: We should summarise the biggest possibilities before letting the vote happen.

               Jacob: So, we have two possible scenarios. In the first one, Ms. Kenneth may have attempted
               to  blackmail  Mr.  Hunt  but  was  one  upped  and  instead  had  her  car  and  the  incriminating

               evidence stolen by a third party. In the second scenario, Ms. Kenneth had her car stolen and is
               blaming it on Mr. Hunt to ruin his reputation. In either case, she might stand to benefit from

               insurance fraud.

               Johnson: Ms. Kenneth seems more like the criminal than Mr. Hunt right now.
               Mary: You are just painting her in a bad light.

               Jenna (passes pieces of paper): Write down your vote on the paper and fold it. We will seal it
               inside an envelope to be opened by the judge.
