"So uuhhh," The Conductor asked, "who dun it?
"We… don't know." One of the CAW agents said a bit embarrassed, "We couldn't find any conclusive evidence. We have no idea who murdered this owl ."
"WHAT?!" The Conductor seemed appalled, "So yuv done peck all ta solve the case?"
"They have," A voice came out of nowhere, "but not so for me." All of living avians turned to where they heard it. They looked to see a silhouette in the window, whose form was hidden by the shadow of the room, "You see, my friendly fowl, I know the truth behind this case."
"Is one of the lightbulbs out over there?" One of the Express Owls asked out loud.
"For you see," The figure stepped down from the window sill and walked to the others, "while these so-called "authoritarians" here, were searching all over for evidence, I was actually finding evidence." And out of the shadows stepped Hat Kid, fully donned in her detective getup and with the smuggest smirk on her face.
"Lassie?!" The Conductor seemed surprised.
The CAW agents seemed even more surprised, "You were doing what?! That's tampering! That's a crime!"
"Is it?" Hat Kid retorted, "After all, I found it first. Me. A child. And you're all supposed to specialize in solving crime. How is it that you passed over this evidence completely whereas I found it?"
The CAW agents murmured.
"Moreover, " Hat Kid seemed to get a bit upset, shaking a bit and holding her head down, "I overheard some of you crows…. I heard you," she rose her head, anger plastered on her face, "talking about my exact body part that I'm insecure about!"
At hearing that, every other bird in the car gasped.
"Hearing all of those things you said. Those unspeakable things. And I can never forget them." She buried her face in one of the Express Owls' shoulders and cried.
The poor Express Owl, not knowing what else to do, just patted her back awkwardly.
"Wellll, now. If that doesn't just show all." The Conductor stared lasers at the crows, who were extremely embarrassed by now.
Another Express Owl spoke up, "Umm, it kinda doesn't. We still don't know who the murderer is."
"The nerve uv a bird ta talk behind sum-woone's bakk aboot their most insecure extrrrrrrrrremateeee!" The Conductor's accent started to thicken, as it typically did when he was very upset, "And a wee lasses nooo less. Yooo allll aught ta bee ashamed uv yerselves-ahh!"
"But it doesn't matter!" Hat Kid said, seeming to recover completely, "Because, getting back to the matter at hand, the case has been solved. And I have the solution."
"Waaaaaa?!" The Conductor, "Wull, don' jus' stand there! Who's the one who dun it?!"
Hat Kid chuckled, "Well, Mister Conductor Sir. The answer is obvious. Having gathered each piece of evidence from the train's rooms, saving my pet's pet from a gruesome death in the process," She did a dramatic turn, tears forming in her eyes, "and hearing those terrible things said about the body part that I'm insecure about," She turned back around seeming to recover again, "I have gathered the evidence as well as taken what little time I was given to weigh the evidence. And I could only come to one conclusion."
"Well, what is it?!" The Conductor nearly screamed.
Hat Kid smirked, "The killer is…."

WHOOOOOOOOO? That's for you to decide. I've set up a poll on my account. It's my first time using that feature so sorry if it's trash. But you get to decide who the killer is and I will write a chapter based on the decision. (Edit: I'M SOOOOORRRRYYY It took me a dog's age to set up the poll. Lot's happening at the end of the school year and it slipped my mind. Feel free to vote now.)
