The Ponyville Ripper

I trotted out if the Knife and Apple and while doing so I look down the street as I see the body taken away,I slowly walk towards the the door into the Porn shop where this "Sly Clop" works. I reach the door and Slowly open as I do I hear the ring of a bell.

I step inside, The lighting was...well lacking,I look around and see all the porn that a teenage colt could want.then I look to my right and see a Dark ashy colt with a black unkempt mane, similar to mine behind the counter playing a Joyboy.

I clear my throat and ask "Hey,are you Sly Clop?"at this question Jumped and took out earphones that I didn't see.

"God man you scared the shit out of me"he said through heavy breaths.

"Sorry,I want to ask you a few questions,Mr. Clop"

Through a look of irritation he muttered,"Just call me sly"

I fill him in on the murder and that he was one of the last people to have seen her alive.

He pulls out a cigarette and begins to speak "wow man,can't Believe Candy was killed.Yeah I knew her.Before I met my mare i kinda...was a frequent customer of hers" he said while blushing a bit and lighting his cigarette

I raises my eyebrow at him."Prostitution?"I ask.

"Yeah,she would...sell herself for some extra money to pay for rent,or somthing"he says in a quite voice,

"Ah I see.Well would you happen to know if she had any other...clients?"I inquired.

He looks up at me and explains "Well for the most part she kept it professional,I only know she was with the butcher that's on mane street was a frequent one,As well as a friend named Rainbow Dash"

I jolt down a few notes and proceed to ask "is there anyone you can think if whom she may have crossed?"

He pauses for thought and after a few second of pondering he shrugs "I don't think so,she was always a nice mare.Can't think of anyone that would be able to hate her"

"Alright then thank you Mr. Clop" I said while riffling through my notes.

"I asked you too call me Sly" he grunted through clenched teeth as I left the store.

I walked out of the store now with a a few possible suspects,The butcher,Rainbow Dash,And this Sly clop fellow.

"Well I guess my next stops the butcher then trying to find Ms. Rainbow Dash"I muttered to myself while walking down Soresaddle Street.

After walking around for a while I found the butcher shop.Several animal Corpses hung in the window,Some fresh and still dripping a bit of blood

"Well I hope to celestia this is the place,otherwise I get to find another killer..." I mutter rather nervously and walk into the store
"Hello sir!" I hear a booming voice call out from behind the counter and I see a rather chubby light gray colt smiling at me from behind the counter.

"Uh hello I'm looking for the butcher that knew Candy String?"I say rather nervously while walking up to the counter...Just the way he smiled at me made a shiver go down my spine.

"Oh I knew her,she liked to get some fresh sausage a lot,What about her?"I boomed.

"Getting fresh sausage,man that was a bad double meaning..."I thought.

"Well Mr. Uhhh,may I ask your name?" I said somewhat nervously

"Of course! It's Jack,Jack Ripper" he announced almost proudly.

"Well Mr. Ripper,I'm with the P.V.P.D,I'm afraid Ms. Candy was murdered last night,And I wanted to ask you a few questions"as I looked at him I saw his smile quiver and fall

"Dead huh?well what makes you think I'll know anything" he said in a rather irritated tone.

"Well,I'm told from a Anonymous tip,that you were a client of hers-"just as I uttered this he slams his mighty hoof onto the counter.

"That's Bullshit!" He yelled,I could hear the windows behind me rattle as his voice boomed and echoed slightly through the room.

I calmly looked at him and continued "seeing as your a possible client,Giver her "fresh sausage" i thought I would ask if you know of anyone that had it out for her,or if you were on Soresaddle street late in the evening last night"

His mouth turns into a scowl as he grunts through his mighty clenched jaw "Listen pig,I was enjoying myself at the nightmare night festival,And I knew candy well,but never paid her for sex.As for if I know if she crossed anyone,or anyone not liking her,I remember Rarity scoffing at her for having no class in clothing"

"To be fair it is rarity,we kinda have to expect She's going to criticize what someone wears"I said in a smart-ass tone

He was not amused and said with anger growing in his voice "you asked me a question I'm just fucking answering it,Now do you have any other questions?If not I suggest you leave now."

I clear my throat nervously."No further questions.We'll contact you if we need any further information.You have a good evening"I said slowly backing out of the shop.All I saw him glaring from behind the counter as I closed the door.

"Celestia damn he's got a temper,I may have to investigate him further"I say while taking out my note pad

"Well,rarity seems to have communicated with her at one point,maybe I can ask her a few questions,maybe she will also knew where Ms.Dash can be found"I mumble to myself while jotting down a few notes and returning the notepad back into my saddle bag.I look up to see the sun setting over the hills.

"Sigh.Guess in working late tonight,I better get to rarities boutique before it closes."I think as I walk In to the sunset.

Later I walk up to the steps of Rarity's boutique,The sun is barley peaking over the hills as I rap my hoof on the door and her a slight shuffling inside and I see the door swing open.Standing I front of me I see the Marshmellow white Mare named Rarity "Oh good evening Detective,how can I help you?"she asked sweetly

"Hello Ms. Rarity,I'm here to ask you a couple questions about a young mare that has recently been murdered"

"Oh?a young mare murdered how can someone do such a thing"she said with a flare of drama while draping her right hoof over her forehead

"I wouldn't know,that's why I'm here to ask questions,seeing if you happen to have any ideas on who did or possible lead me to someone who does"I said rather bluntly.

She puts her hoof down and asks me politely."well then,would you like to come in?you can ask all the questions you want."

I accept and she Leads me into her shop and has me take a seat on a purple couch.
"Well miss rarity,Would you happen to have known miss Candy String?"

She sits down into the chair across from me and says "You mean that girl with the Horrible and low class taste for clothing?

I sigh and answer, "yes"

She sadly looks at me and with sorrow filled eyes, "was she the one killed recently?"
I nod slowly,
She looks down a with sorrow and tells me that she only really only talked to her in passing.

"I unfortunately criticized what she wore a lot,saying no lady should where such skanky outfits,I now wish I never said such mean things"she said stilling looking down to the ground.

"Miss Rarity,I'm sure she will forgive you,and you can help me,and the P.V.P.D find the pony responsible,can you tell me,when you did see her would she be with anyone?"I say putting my hoof on her shoulder

She continues looking down and says "yes,I've seen her with my friend Rainbow quite a few times."

I paused and thought "it seems Ms. Rainbow dash knew her pretty well."

I continued"Rarity have you seen Ms. Dash recently?or know where as likes to hang out?"

"Well she's often lazing about In trees,or on roofs,anywhere she can really lay her head.I last saw her a few minutes before you arrived flying toward Soresaddle street for whatever reason." She said as she looked back up to me

The thought hit me"Perhaps stopping by the knife and apple,maybe to see if her "paid fun" would be there?"

I say thank you too Rarity and wish her a good evening,as I get up she places her hoof on my leg and in a sad voice whispers "please catch the pony responsible"

I nod,and slowly leave the boutique,and step out into the dark night.

About ten minutes later I arrive At the Knife and Apple.

"This seems familiar" I say under my breath
