2. Interviews

The Detectives and Rarity arrived at the police station, Rarity was placed in one of the interview rooms, and so far, Lilly thinks Rarity could be a witness to the fatal stabbing death of Werson. The detectives wait awhile for the right moment to go into the room, then Lilly and another detective enter the room.

"Hi Rarity, now, we are investigating a murder case right now. What do you think happened tonight?" Rarity hesitated, and was shaking a little, then said.

"I think I remember Werson having a conflict with the flower ponies."

"You think they might have wanted to murder him?"

"No, but I think they were the ones that got Werson agreeing to rob me." Rarity claims the flower ponies, may have conspired Werson to rob Rarity.

"Ok, I'll be back." Then the detectives left the room.

"What evidence do we have right now?"

"Well, we found Rarity's hoofprints on the knife." Rob found Rarity's prints on the knife lying next to the victim.

"Wow, did Rarity just lie? That's good stuff!" The detectives then high fived each other.

Later, the detectives ounce again entered the room, and they were trying to resist smiling, because, well, Rarity might be the killer.

"Hi, we found a knife at the crime scene lying next to the victim, and your hoofprints are on it."

"What? Ok, I'll come clean." This startled the detectives, they may have already caught their killer.

"I still think the flower ponies conspired Werson to rob me, but whoever killed him might have been robbing me too." She also claims that one of her bread knifes was missing before the murder.

"Who do you think had conspired with him to rob you?"

"I don't know." The detectives decide to come back later. They leave Rarity alone again.

"I think we have enough evidence from Rarity to bring the flower ponies in. We'll have to question them too. Plus, Rarity's breadknife was the murder weapon, we may have to arrest her." So Rob comes into the interview room and puts cuffs on Rarity, then he and other officers lead her away.

The detectives also learn from Rarity that the flower ponies were at sugar cube corner, so the detectives go towards the little shop. They find them picking up cupcakes from Mr. and Mrs. Cake. Lilly thinks it's a good idea to bring the couple in as well, after all, they might be witnesses to the fatal stabbing as well.

Each pony was in a different interview room, they decide to talk to the flower ponies first, so Rob and Lilly enter the room. Daisy only looked at the floor. She looked very tired.

"Ok, let's get this over with, so Daisy, we need to talk about Werson, what problems were you having with him?"

"He had a debt to pay off, and he was planning on leaving for Canterlot the next day." Daisy claimed Werson had a debt to pay of for her and the other flower ponies.

"One day we had wanted the money because he paid the rest of it for a train ticket. We thought that he could rob somepony so he can pay the debt, and he insisted on taking another pony with him." Daisy also claims that Werson had partnered with Rainbow Dash to rob Rarity.

"Rarity saw them and got a breadknife, and stabbed Werson in the stomach." Daisy also claims Rarity spotted them filling bags with her bits, and started stabbing the victim, they had a wild chase until Werson stumbled and Rarity stabbed him to death, then took off running.

"Werson was dead, then Rainbow Dash came to the body with a knife of her own, while detectives were in Rarity's shop, and stabbed the victim to make sure he was dead." Daisy also claims that Rainbow Dash had stabbed the victim more to make sure he was dead, then took the bits he had, and ran away.

"Ok, thank you."

"We got a lot of information, and we believe we have another pony involved. Rainbow Dash." But the team decide to question the other ponies too, and enter the interview room with the second flower pony.

"Ok, we're here to solve the death of Werson, he was stabbed to death, do you know what happened?"

"Daisy wanted him dead." The flower pony claims that Daisy found him in the bouquet, and wanted the money very quickly.

"She snuck in, got a breadknife." The pony also says that Daisy got the breadknife and hurled it at Werson and what she said to be Rainbow Dash, striking Werson in the chest. He fled until he fell in a alley where Rainbow Dash had stabbed him to death.

"Ok, thank you." The detectives leave the room.

"Wow, two different stories, and that points to Rainbow Dash as the killer. The third flower pony might give us answers."

"So, we need to know if you know or saw killed Werson."

"Rainbow Dash did it." The mare claims to see Rainbow Dash stabbing the victim to death.

"You sure that was Rainbow Dash?"

"Positive."

"Ok, thank you."

"Yes! That's good stuff, we now know Rainbow Dash was part of the robbery. We also know she could be the suspected killer! That's good stuff!"

"Now we need to prove that claim by interviewing the cakes."

"Let's do it!"

Mr. Cake, we need answers, can you tell us who killed Werson?"

"I saw Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Daisy, Daisy told Rainbow Dash and Werson to rob Rarity." Mr. Cake claims Daisy told Rainbow Dash and Werson to rob Rarity, but in the bouquet Rainbow Dash and Werson had a argument about who gets the most bits, Rainbow Dash then stabbed the victim, they had a wild goose chase, Rainbow Dash stole one of the breadknifes and used it against the victim, killing him in the alley, where he was found. The detectives were stunned. Rainbow Dash was in fact the killer, they had enough evidence to bring her in, and maybe even let Rarity go.

" Ok, thank you, you may leave with Mrs. Cake." The Detectives then leave the room, with smiles on their faces.

"YES! Good job team!" The detectives high fived each other.

"Now all we need to do is find Rainbow Dash. Then this case is closed!"

3. Search For The Suspect

In the stabbing death of Werson, detectives think they know their killer, Rainbow Dash. It's been seven days since the murder. Rarity and Daisy were charged with Werson's murder, due to the fact that they both were said to be involved, and were to remain in dungeons for a total of two years, but Rainbow Dash is facing even higher charges, they needed to find her, so they can get her side of the story. But they couldn't find her in Ponyville, she had fled the town. But the stallions and mares never gave up their search. Their search would have been a failure if a mare stepped up saying she knew where Rainbow Dash was.

Back at the station, the mare is identified as Twilight Sparkle, a friend of Rainbow Dash. Her purple mane was hanging low to the ground, she was sad.

"She might know something we don't, but let's see." Lilly and Rob then enter the interview room she was in.

"Hello Twilight, you say you know where Rainbow Dash is hiding, tell us, where is she hiding?"

Twilight hesitated before getting a word out.

"She doesn't live here, she's hiding at her house in Cloudstalle." Twilight claims that Rainbow Dash is planning on running away to a desert city called Appleloosa, and is hiding in her home in the clouds.

"Ok, thank you very much." The detectives then send the unicorn out of the station, she was a big help, the detectives started high fiving each other, they now know where their suspect is, and hopefully she'll not have a weapon to attack them with. The pegesi officers then fly to cloudstalle, where they do find Rainbow Dash.

"Don't move! YOUR UNDER ARREST!" But Rainbow Dash was trying to escape, but she was trapped, until she finally gave up.

But to the detective's surprise, Rainbow Dash was hurt, and had sent her to nurse Redheart, where they report to find a twisted wing. But the detectives decide to interview her anyway. They find a private tent and interviewed her there.

"Hi, we need your side of the story in the murder of Werson, and everypony involved is pointing hoofs that you."

"What? Why?"

"They think you were the one that killed him."

Rainbow started to cry. "I didn't! I swear!"

"Then who did it?"

"I heard that Daisy did it!"

"What about you fleeing the town?"

"I was only going there to see some friends, that's all!"

"But were you and Werson robbing Rarity?"

"I swear! I wasn't there! Daisy was robbing Rarity with him."

"How do you know?!" The detectives argue with Rainbow Dash, adding bits of evidence against her, but after telling her this.

"We found your hoofprints on the cashier box in Rarity's bouquet, and they wern't there before! How do you explain that?!"

Suddenly, Rainbow Dash had then said.

"Ok, fine, I did rob Rarity with Werson, but I did not kill him." Rainbow Dash says when she and Werson were robbing Rarity, she heard Werson yell, and saw Daisy with one of Rarity's bread knifes.

"I followed them into a alley, and saw Daisy take off running, and found Werson still alive, then I sent a message to the paramedics, and police." She also claims while the detectives were in the shop, Daisy returned, and stabbed him even more, then took his bits, and took off running.

"Ok, that's all we needed, but sit tight." Then the detectives left the tent.

"Yes! high five!"

"We got Rainbow Dash to tell us she was involved. But now we don't know who to charge, or release."

4. Case Closed

"Alright Rainbow Dash, put your hoofs out, your being charged for robbery." Rob fastens the cuffs, and leads the pegesis away.

"Because we have evidence from Rarity and Rainbow Dash that it seemed to be Daisy being the killer, we are going to release Rarity, but Rainbow Dash admitted to robbing Rarity with Werson, so she needs to be arrested for that." said Lilly.

Here are the final outcomes.

"Rarity is Charged for murder of Werson and is sentenced for two years in dungeons, but the charges were later dropped."

"Daisy is charged with murder of Werson and is sentenced for two years in dungeons."

"Rainbow Dash is charged with robbery and is sentenced to six months in dungeons."

As Rob leads Rainbow Dash away, The detectives return to the station. Ounce there, they high five each other, and Lilly is happy to close her first case. When Rob returns, he is proud of the rookie.

"Lilly, you were awsome!"

"Thanks Rob!"

"You wanna go for some coffee?"

"YEAH!" All the detectives replied.

But in Canterlot, Werson's family is mourning for Werson, and is having trouble coping without him.

"He was such a nice stallion, did nothing wrong, why would somepony do this to him, why?" Werson's mother is taking it very hard.

Werson is buried in Canterlot, many gather to his memorial, including Rarity.

"Even though he attempted to rob me, his family and friends here are probably very sad right now. I'm also glad I was released to attend this." she explained.

Very pretty music plays while the ponies let go of balloons with his name and notes inside the balloons, they hold candles as they remember Werson.

His family soon come to his grave and leaves flowers by the stone. They then turn and leave, saying.

"Rest In Peace Werson."

1. The Crime Scene

Ponyville, around Midnight, a message comes in from the eastern part of the city.

"Please help! I found somepony lying on the ground, he looks hurt, send a medical staff! The Stallion's coughing up blood!"

When paramedics arrive, they find a stallion lying in a alley, dead.

"This is your first case, isn't it?"

"Yep, let's get out there!" A young mare, named Lilly, will lead the investigation. They take their gear and head on out. Some police ponies had already arrived at the scene, and they were looking for the stallion's identification, the white stallion with the brown mane is soon identified as Werson, a pony visiting Ponyville from Canterlot. He leaves behind a wive, family, and three young fillys.

"Look, a knife!" The detectives then notice a knife lying next to the victim, the knife had blood on it.

"It appears that the victim had been stabbed to death, but we are not so sure."

"Hey Lilly, you won't believe this, this guy has stab marks all over him, and he's covered in blood." The victim had blood stained all over his body, and he had stab marks all over his chest and back.

"Whoever did this to him, really wanted him gone to make such a brutal attack."

"I know, and get this, we found what I believe are bits, lots of bits, it may look like whoever did this to him was robbed." The team believes the attack had came from a pony who was robbed by the victim. But they keep it as a theory for now. Lilly's partner, Rob, thinks that the victim and killer both did a wrong act to lead to such violence, but they are not so sure yet, and after all, the killer may have tried to rob the victim.

"Hey, Rob, is that what I think it is?"

"Yep, it's a trail of blood." A trail of blood led detectives to Rarity's shop. The mare watched in horror as detectives walk by with flashlights, suddenly...

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK. "Yes?"

"We found a trail of blood leading to your doorway, and we see that it's in here too." Rarity was shocked, she had now a dead stallion walk in her shop! How frightened she was, the blood trail led to the cashier table, to a now empty desk where there used to be bits. But to the detectives' surprise, the trail of blood had ended in front of the cashier box.

"How odd, how can anypony reach into a desk of bits from the other side of the desk. But we'll have to find witnesses, and talk to them, and figure out how anypony can survive that long losing that much blood from their circulation system."

"Let's go back to the victim."

The victim to detectives' surprise, was stabbed even more, the killer might have came back and wanted to make sure the victim was dead. Rarity was going with the detectives for questioning to know if Rarity knew who robbed her.

The Victim was placed in a wagon to the examination room to see if there is more evidence against whoever did this. The detectives then went back to the Police station.
