Ryuukishi spends the entirety of Chiru undermining the credibility of the information presented to us. With the exception of Shkanon, all possibilities have doubt thrown on them, deliberately to obfuscate.

You're being very vague. Our conclusions about what? Conclusions about what happened to Ange's family? Is that what you're asking?
They died. Either in an explosion, or because they were murdered by Yasu. Does that clear things up for you?

Did you even read that segment?
The Japanese government put the explosives there, then became preoccupied with other problems, like the U.S. government dropping nukes on them. If it helps you out at all, the Japanese didn't have any materials to build more ships at the end of the war, so all the explosives in the world did very little good (hence why huge amounts of explosives were wasted on suicide runs - they had lots of bombs, but very little fuel).
Kinzo wasn't take up on treason because the Japanese government didn't exist anymore. There was a new puppet government set up by the U.S. military. And besides, no one besides Kinzo knew what happened on the island.
The Japanese didn't know about the gold because they were never told about it. The sub from Italy arrived, and the Japanese commander didn't report the gold to HQ because he wanted to keep it for himself.
