[Vote] Symmetrical Beauty - Detective Game

🚢 One or the other... sometimes it makes no difference 🚢

📕Story Background

A cargo ship from Japan was sailing on the sea. Captain Cohen stretched his arms after finishing his log of yesterday’s activities. He stepped out of his room, and planned to go to the deck for a cigarette to lift his spirits.

When Captain Cohen returned to his room, he found that the money in his drawer was stolen. The only people who typically have the permission to enter the captain's room are the other crew members: James, Brian, and Webber. After a moment of consideration, Captain Cohen decided to question them one by one.

Cohen knocked on James’s door and asked, “Did you enter my room?” James replied, “No. I wanted to deliver some documents to you just now. When I knocked on your door, I found you weren’t in the room.”

Cohen then found Brian in the kitchen. Brian was washing a bowl. Cohen approached Brian and asked, “Did you enter my room?” Brian responded, “I’ve been eating in the kitchen.” The chef backed up Brian's answer.

“Who stole my money?” Cohen wondered in the hallway. At that moment, Webber showed up in the end of the hallway. Seeing Webber, Cohen quickly stepped forward and asked, “What were you doing just now?” Webber replied, “I noticed a flag on the ship was hanging upside down, so I climbed up to adjust it.”

After hearing all those replies, Captain Cohen thought for a moment and immediately concluded that one of them was lying. Detectives, can you figure out who the captain determined was the thief?

(This story is absolutely fictional. Any inconsistencies with common sense work for the plot.)

🔍Known Clues

----- Previous answer (The Cold Moonlight) -------

The evidence is the cold bulb. The housemaid claimed that she saw through the keyhole that the desk lamp was on. However, Miss McCaw touched the bulb and found it to be cold. If the lamp had on, the bulb would have been hot after a short period of time. Therefore, the housemaid lay.
