Ahah, so it seemed! You see, the moment I questioned Mr. Souseki, the truth revealed itself in small gestures. A shifty glance, a twitch of the moustache, an errant pose... There was no doubt about it, he was hiding something. Within his closet, I found it! It was a stowaway, wearing upon his head a priceless crown! A priceless, stolen crown! Mr. Souseki and his accomplice had pilfered this item and fled the country, yet with only one ticket and two of them, hiding away inside a closet for the entire trip had been unavoidable.

Was the priceless crown meant to be returned to its true owner? Certainly, it was! Was it illegal to hide a stowaway aboard a ship? Without question! Those were two crimes that Mr. Souseki was guilty of, explaining his suspicious behavior. It had seemed, then, that he was unrelated to the murder. However, I began to ask myself the following question; if two crimes take place in one cabin and a third crime next door, are they truly unrelated?
