That's one way to do it, but there's another. She could go to Rokkenjima as one person and leave as the same person, then go as the other and leave as the same person. Basically, it's the reverse, where one would have to be considered off the island at all times.

Yes, but he also knows that that other port is a secret. If Kawabata supposes that people are using that other port, then he's supposing something funny is going on.
But, well, just the fact that he knows of the other port and had kept it a secret for so many years already means that he'd been bribed or something. Given that, I wonder what he told the police after the incident, and what he might not have.
