"Hey, everypony, stay out of the crime scene, please!" a dark blue police officer earth pony shouted.

All of the residents of the street wanted to know what the hell has happened there. Why is there a cop? Bon-Bon knew why and she was crying. Everypony else tried to get a better view but Luna's spell pushed them away and made them unable to approach. Then she created a mist all around the venue. Inside the dense mist were only herself, the police officer pony, Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy and Dexter.

They all slowly looked at the dead unicorn's bloody body lying on the ground. Except Fluttershy, she was shakily hiding behind her beloved Dexter.

No one of them didn't say anything. There was a silence, enough for Dexter to get lost in thoughts.

Oh god, she is massacred... Things like this don't happen here! Who the hell in this world is capable of something like this? No remorse but curiosity.

While the police officer was scratching his chin, Twilight drying her wet eyes and Fluttershy barely breathing, Dexter's calm face expression made the night princess incredibly angry.

"You," she almost screamed, "you have done this, you monster!" Her eyes were full of hatred.

Dexter got startled by that. "H-how could I -?"

The police officer pony made a great statement: "If the princess says so then it's truth. You're arrested, human!"

"What?" Dexter let out from confusion.

"No, he couldn't do anything to Lyra!" Twilight Sparkle spoke up to defend Dexter. "He hasn't seen her since noon!"

Luna didn't care, she had her own opinions and she stood by them. "These are no alibis!"

The cop began to approach Dexter. Twilight Sparkle couldn't do anything now - contradicting a princess doesn't pay out.

Dexter! Fluttershy wanted to tell them not to do this but only sound she made was a quiet whispered "No". Nothing more.

Oh my fucking god! After everything I've done I will be arrested for something I have not even done? What would Harry say right now? Dexter asked himself.

"The first rule of the Code, Dexter." an illusion of his father said.

"Don't get caught." said Dexter.

When he was in the reality again, he spoke: "I didn't kill Lyra! But I can help you find out who did!"

The police officer pony stopped and frowned. "How?"

"Well, I am a forensic blood spatter analyst," he said, "I've got experiences... here's a lot of blood... it's a whole story... I can tell you what exactly happened here."

The earth pony turned his head at the princess, waiting for a command.

"Yes, of course you know what exactly happened here, you've done that!" Luna yelled.

"Luna!" a familiar voice was heard suddenly.

"Princess Celestia!" Twilight Sparkle exclaimed with joy.

She elegantly flew down from the night's dark sky to the spot in dense mist. The police officer was the only one who bowed down. When she was with the hooves on the ground, she tilted her wings and began to talk as she was walking towards Luna.

"Sister, I heard about what happened here. This..." with disgust she looked at the unicorn's slaugthered body, "is just... terrible and sad..." Her eyes were gleaming because of tears but they immediately vanished. "And then I heard you blaming Dexter!"

Luna was kind of concerned. "Tia, it is obvious if not clear!" She pointed at Dexter with her hoof. "He is pure evil! He just appeared and two days later Lyra died!"

Twilight wasn't so afraid of defending Dexter with her mentor near. "But he hasn't seen here since noon as I said before! He just couldn't!"

"That is true, princess." Fluttershy whispered.

Luna was much more upset. "He certainly could somehow! He is strange, don't trust him sister!"

Celestia frowned. "But I trust my student."

Luna didn't know what to say. Twilight Sparkle proudly smiled and Fluttershy's heart calmed down.

Dexter sighed in relief. "Thank you, princess Celestia."

"So..." he spoke nervously, "What are we going to do now?" the police officer finally joined the conversation.

The night princess snarled with a glare. "Let that genius show us how he can help us."

Dexter quickly came to the corpse. He passed around it carefully, looked at it from several angles and spots. The others were staring at him.

"Still at the first stage of decomposition but probably not for long by now. Time since death is about... 4 or 6 hours. The cuts on the flanks were done when the victim was yet alive. They're gritty and imperfect, she was resisting."

"Wait, 4 or 6 hours?" The police officer chimed in. "No way this is possible, somepony would notice her! She's lying here for about one hour!"

"Yes, she can be lying her for one hour but she died earlier." Dexter pointed at not much visible blood trail. "Somone's brought here here. Too bad that any hoofprints aren't visible."

Everypony gasped.

"She was brought here by somepony?" Luna asked.

"Clearly." Dexter answered.

Celestia looked up to the sky. "Who would do such a thing?"

And they stood there in silence again.

"What are we going to do now, princess?" Twilight Sparkle tremulously questioned Celestia.

The day princess was still gazing to the dark night sky. "Murders are... unusual in Ponyville, if not in all Equestria my faithful student... We have to find out who... you know..."

Twilight began to cry. "Lyra was... my good friend. I will help you find that... not pony but that monster!"

The cop finished writing down the things Dexter said then he told the princesses: "You can leave now, I can handle those curious ponies out there and carry Lyra to the chariot."

The both princesses nodded. "I'll see you tomorrow. Good... night." Celestia said and took off together with her sister.

As they disappeared, the mist began to fade away slowly and at that moment Fluttershy jumped and without a word tightly hugged Dexter.

He didn't protest and wrapped her in his arms and then he suddenly received a kiss from her. Yeah but not on a cheek but on the lips.

Twilight and the cop stared at her with open mouths, also Dexter himself.

Fluttershy heavily blushed when she realized what she just did. "Eh... um... I'm sorry, I'm just... glad you're alright..." She gave him a forced shaky smile.

Dexter widened his eyes. "Okaayyy... uh... thanks..."

Twilight wanted to say something but the mist already faded away and a crowd of ponies, which so badly wanted to know what is going on, was now visible.
