The Boardroom Contract
A signed acquisition contract worth millions vanished from the boardroom table during a five-minute recess. Four people remained behind when the others stepped out: Alice, Bruno, Clara, and Dean. Only one of them is lying.
The five clues
- 1Alice says: "Bruno was the only one who touched the contract while we waited."
- 2Bruno says: "I looked at it briefly and set it down. Clara then came over to read it too."
- 3Clara says: "I never touched the contract. I was on my phone at the far end of the table the entire time."
- 4Dean says: "I saw Clara tuck something into her bag just before the others returned."
- 5The boardroom CCTV shows someone placing an object into a bag, but the angle does not reveal who.
