>Well, obviously C found a stash of gold, killed A and B so they couldn’t get it, and hastily wrote two cryptic hints and hid them on A’s body in order to spark a police investigation that would distract their attention long enough for him to escape with the gold.
>D and E are still alive, because they are the only ones on the island. C escaped on their boat after replacing A’s body on the dock with B. He then hid inside the boat with most of the gold (bar one ingot) and A’s body until the mainland officers left, at which point he planted A’s body on the boat, soaked it in gasoline, and set it ablaze, escaping with the gold.
