[Truth Bullet: Red Fur]

Knuckles:  It's easy just to say, "Hey, decide who did it!" But there just aren't any more clues, right?

[Truth Bullet Fired]

Ruv: NO, THAT'S WRONG!!!!! There still might be one clue left: The red fur on the ground near where Whitty died!

Knuckles: Red-- Wait, what did you say?!

Sarvente: The red fur. It was found on the ground near where Whitty died! That must be an important clue!

Amy: Well, what could it mean?

Silver: I think I know! The fur on the ground must be the fur that belongs to the killer!

Amy: That actually helps a lot! 

Crystal: Now all we have to do is narrow down the ones who have red fur, and then we'll find out who the killer is!

Ruby: W-well, i-it's o-obvious that the humans don't have any fur, s-so that automatically e-eliminates Pico, Ruv, Benjamin, CJ, S-Sarv, a-and myself...

Dawn: And the fur cannot belong to the ponies either, so that leaves Twilight and Pinkie out of the question, too.

Benjamin: A-and since the fur is red, i-it can't belong to S-Silver, Crystal, E-Espio, Blaze, Kat, Amy, Scourge, and Dawn e-either...

Silver: Which only leaves three suspects! Fiona, Shadow, and Knuckles!

Crystal: Wait, why Shadow? His quills aren't red!

Silver: Actually, if you look closely, you'll see that there are some red streaks in Shadow's quills, so that still makes him a suspect!

Shadow: Hmph! Why would I want to do something as time-wasting as killing somebody?

Crystal: Okay, that makes sense, but what about Fiona? Sure, she has red fur, but I thought she was dead!

Silver: She might be dead, but Whitty's death took place before her death, so there's still a possibility that she's the murderer!

Crystal: Okay, so we've got three people who could be the killer, but how are we supposed to find out who the fur belongs to?

Silver: Easy. All we have to do now is figure out how dark or light the color of the fur is, compare it to Knuckles, Shadow, and Fiona's fur, and then we'll have our killer!

Blaze: Well, the color of the fur seems to be a netural shade of red, so that might get us somewhere.

Espio: Let's see. So, while Shadow does have red streaks in with quills, the color would have to have some black in it, making it a darker shade of red, so it can't belong to Shadow.

Shadow: Hmph! Told you!

Espio: And last I checked, Fiona had darker-colored fur than that, so it can't be Fiona, either.

Silver: Which only leaves one other person! You, Knuckles! [Points at Knuckles]

Knuckles: Wh- What the hell are you talking about!? I-It's just a coincidence! What if someone was trying to frame me like they tried to frame Ruv?!

Blaze: I don't think that's the case. After you killed Whitty, you must've been in a hurry to get outta his room. So much, in fact, that you forgot one little fact: The fact that you accidentally left a strand of your fur behind! 

Knuckles: Th-That sounds like one hell of a stretch to me...! I'm the killer!? You can't just go and say shit like that!

Dawn: I do not want to try and take sides, but we cannot just go and accuse people of being the killer, Blaze.
