Murder at Canterlot Castle

“Inside the study, Princess Luna turned off the lights, five of you  had dropped their weapons, and there was a scream and a bang.”

“Eeyup,” Big Mac answered.

“Well somepony attempted to kill Princess Luna, they did hit her. Princess Luna was knocked out cold. In the next room we heard Fleur screaming and we all rushed over there to see, but somepony stayed behind and kill the cook with the axe.”

“But how would they have made it back. We would have seen them.” Mayor Mare explained.”

Raven walked over to a painting a moved it to reveal a secret passage behind it, “They went through here and ran over to the kitchen and stabbed the cook, and when we heard the bang we ran to the kitchen they went back through the secret passage and saw Princess Luna coming to so they grabbed the candlestick and hit Luna on the head with it. They put it down, burnt the evidence and quickly rejoined us in the kitchen before anypony noticed.”

“But after that there was a knock at the door,” Braeburn said which was followed by another knock on the door.

“Whoever that is has to go away or they’ll get killed to.” Mrs. Cake said as she went over to the door and opened it to see a pony with a fedora and a large overcoat. . “Is anypony interested in joining the Canterlot Record Club.” he said.

“What? No.” Mrs. Cake said as he closed the door behind her.

“Anyways, the killer knew that the gray pony was an informer and knowing there would be no way to kill him if everypony else was around knew they had to be alone.”

“So how did they get alone.” Cheerilee asked.

“Simply, they suggested we split up.” Raven said as she walked over to Shining Armor, “You killed them all. You knew it would be impossible to get rid of the informers with everypony else around so what did you do? You made us believe someone else could be in the house so we could split up.”

“Then, he used acted as though he found the secret passage way so he could get away from me and kill the gray pony,” Cheerilee exclaimed.

“You have not proof, this is just ideas.” Shining Armor defended with.

“Really? The dagger is missing, whoever has that dagger is the killer.” Raven said as Shining Armor pulled out the dagger and held Raven at knifepoint.

“But, why go through all this trouble just to keep a secret safe.” Braeburn asked.

“What Princess Cadance would do to me doesn’t compare to what I did. It scares me to think about what horrible things could have happened to me if my secret about the affair got out.”

“That’s understandable.” Mrs. Cake said.

“You can’t possible expect to just get away with 6 murders, we can expose you.” Cheerilee said.

“Yes, but I know your secrets and if you want them to remain that way, I suggest we all forget this night ever happened.”

“Exactly,” Raven said, “Now I say we stack the bodies in the cellar, and leave one at a time pretending none of this ever happened.

Shining Armor took this as a chance to leave but was stop at the door by the authorities.

“It always a sad day when you have to arrest one of you own, Raven thanks for the call.” The chief pony who was the pony in the overcoat and fedora.

“Don’t you worry you all be home safely,” Raven reassured them.

“Thank you Raven,” The other ponies said as the left the castle and the authorities took Shining Armor away.
