This story is a sequel to Muddy Waters - A Detective Story
It is not necessary to read the earlier story to understand this one. Just like Detective Stories of old, same world, same detective, different story altogether.
Octavia was hired by a prestigious family to play at their prestigious party. Everything was going great! Until, a stallion was murdered. Luckily she knows just the pony, Vinyl Scratch, PI.
Follow these two mares as they face confusion and hilarity that test their resolve and pride. This villa will have many sudden and unaccountable changes. Can they do it?
The tag 'Random' is there for a reason. You have been warned.

Shouldn’t you complete the previous story before you start the sequel?

Yeah, I probably should. I just lost motivation to write the last story. But it isn't necessary to read the last story to understand this one
Hi! Judge of the contest here. I do not appreciate this fic. Here's why.
There were essentially two requirements for this contest. One was the prompt, which was, if I may remind you, "not a detective". As your story features two detectives (appointed by Celestia herself!), and does not seem to attempt to tackle the prompt in any other meaningful way, this is a problem! That's the first requirement failed.
The second requirement was that entries had to be fair play whodunnits. This is defined as it was in the contest post:
Now, I came to the end of your story, only to discover that you have failed on this account, too! There is no deduction here; the culprit is unveiled only by him happening to say that he did it out loud. The detectives don't even actually do anything to uncover his identity. There is no evidence, there is no motive. This is not a fair-play whodunnit; it barely counts as a detective story.
And the even worse part of all that is that, because there is no deduction, the entire story is meaningless. None of the accounts of what occurred mattered. Vinyl didn't even need to be there. And so this entire story is a waste of time.
So because you failed to meet both the requirements (I assume you just didn't even bother to read the contest post), you have failed as an entry, and I am disqualifying you.
Good day.
