Four people, five versions

Other parties already doubt the timeline of the night, and rightly so: there are four people and five different versions, all starting with 'this is political persecution'. The clues no longer hand you everything on a plate: use rows, columns and distances to close the case.

Suspects

• Alice, the party accountant: She knows exactly how much every favour costs. She keeps all the receipts.
• Bento, the youth wing loyalist: He joined the party's youth wing at fourteen. He has never left it since.
• Cândido, the deputy chief of staff: Nobody knows exactly what he does, but he's always in the room when something happens.
• Diana, the summer intern: A summer internship now in its third winter.
