I don't quite understand this part:

We were expecting to have the Cl- solution, and tap water look the same. However, the tap water and the Br- solution looked the same (after adding silver nitrate).

Are you referring to the solutions of chlorine and bromine or the AgCl and AgBr formed?

AgCl and AgBr look quite similar, but AgBr is slightly yellowish in comparion to AgCl.

And you were judging this just based on precipitate color? This doesn't seem like a very definitive method of analysis.
