Sometimes deduction takes leaps of logic to come to a simple conclusion based on very minor details. Sometimes it's obvious. Sometimes however, the deductor uses his Bat Deduction or Sherlock Scan skills to explain his conclusion, and then adds a Smoking Gun for good measure, making the previous deductions quite redundant. As a subversion, the deductor may be so wrapped up in the cleverness of their reasoning that they entirely miss the smoking gun, which has to be pointed out to them. Compare Sherlock Can Read, Asymmetric Dilemma. See also Implausible Deniability. Has some similarity with Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking (or Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick) but with weak arguments leading up to one strong one (and used as a deduction). |

Sherlock: In the third episode, "The Great Game", Holmes deduces that Molly's new boyfriend Jim is gay because of vague traces of make-up, subtle hints in his clothing, and slipping Sherlock his phone number. Jim helpfully provides the Smoking Gun himself so that Sherlock will miss the fact that his last name is Moriarty. Played with in "The Blind Banker". Sherlock deduces that a banker has flown around the world twice very recently, and explains that he noticed his watch was set to the correct time, but the wrong date. He then adds that also, the banker's secretary told him explicitly. Watson later reveals, however, that the secretary told him no such thing, and Sherlock really did deduce it from the watch alone. |

GreedFall: During the evidence gathering portion of the trial against Dr. Asili, De Sardet lists out evidence to help the prosecution, which will win so long as they provide the black powder that is a powedered version of the Malichor used to poison Constantin and attempt to poison De Sardet. However, they can also list off every other piece of evidence and witness testimony prior to the black powder, leading to the amazing list of: Asili running a laboratory, employing other researchers to help his research, Aphra leaving due to his research methods, Asili kidnapping natives for his research, and finally, the black powder used to poison Constantin and De Sardet. | |

Mr. Peanutbutter, of all people, manages to do this twice in Bojack Horseman: In "Our A-Story is a D-Story", he deduces that BoJack stole the D from the Hollywood sign by following a series of clues, using deduction, puzzle-solving skills, and forensics...and the fact that BoJack left him a drunk voicemail saying that he did it. Then, in "Let's Find Out", he confronts BoJack about kissing Diane after their engagement. He claims to have found this out via security camera footage along the freeway, talking to his friends on the highway patrol, and she told him. |

The Naked Gun 2 1/2 has the lab break down the fibres, prints, DNA and dirt particles of the footprint and start to take a geological breakdown of the city. When the detective says they don't have that much time, they mention that the criminal also dropped his wallet by the curb and they may be able to use that as well. They have a habit of this, because in the third movie, they break down the origin and composition of the paper in a letter to find out who sent it, and when that fails, they then mention that the letterhead says "Statesville Prison" on it. | |

On Gotham, Ed and Lucius attempt to identify the rooftop where someone launched an RPG. When they arrive at one, Lucius announces they're at the right spot. Ed agrees, complimenting the two of them on figuring out that this rooftop is the only one that has the correct angle to have hit the target. Lucius then points out that the empty RPG case is still on the roof. | |

Surprisingly infrequent in Castle, where a complex series of deductions and circumstantial speculations lead to the killer. Since the police require proof beyond reasonable doubt, a last-minute smoking gun (or, sometimes, a cleverly extracted confession) is produced that seals the deal. But typically, solving the mystery points to an unexpected suspect or provides the clues necessary to establish probable cause so the police can get the evidence. In "A Deadly Game", Castle and Beckett get the victim's lover, a Long Island housewife, to confess that she was having an affair. However, while a dramatic scene, the confession is unnecessary: they already have both the murder weapon and physical evidence putting the killer at the scene of the crime. In "A Chill Runs Through Her Veins", Castle and Beckett identify the killer based on a chance conversation with a witness. They don't have any physical evidence or witnesses, so to close the case, the writers nicely have the killer volunteer a hypothetical confession so the viewer can feel satisfied that C&B have their man. In "Famous Last Words", Castle must unravel the meaning of the lyrics for the victim's final hit single to solve the murder. Only then can he and Beckett confront the killer and clear the name of the innocent suspect. Except...the key physical evidence was texts sent on the innocent suspect's phone, which were far more explicit about what actually happened than the song, and which the police were already going through. This evidence on its own identified and proved who the killer was, so the business with the song was only important because Castle and Beckett hadn't read the texts yet. Castle even mentions, "It's a good thing we subpoenaed your phone records when I had this crazy lyric idea," even though the lyrics had nothing to do with getting the phone records in the first place. It was mentioned that they were coming before he started combing through lyrics. |

True Romance has a protracted torture scene where mobster Don Vincenzo inquires about Clarence by torturing Clarence's father, who denies any knowledge until Don Vincenzo explains he knows when somebody lies, meticulously. Eventually all the explanation, clues, misinformation and time spent becomes immediately useless when the mobsters find Clarence's whereabout pinned on a piece of paper right there. | |

Community: In the season 2 episode "Paradigms of Human Memory" (the non-recycling clip show), Abed deduces that Britta and Jeff are sleeping together from several subtle indications, and lastly: Abed saw them getting dressed together in a dormitory. Parodied in "Aerodynamics of Gender," where Joshua the gardener makes some seemingly innocuous remarks to Troy and Jeff that turn out to have double meanings later... the swastika tattoo probably should have tipped them off. |

In Arrested Development, Michael hooks up with a lawyer without realising she's blind until the morning after. The narrator notes that Michael "suddenly recalled some Non Sequiturs from the night before": In the first one she mentions having ocular retinoblastoma (he assumes it's "law talk"); in the second she mentions not being able to "see anyone ever" (he was talking about dating); and in the third one she just yells "I'm blind!" to which he responds "I'm wasted!" | |

Inverted in Brooklyn Nine-Nine when it is revealed to the audience that Captain Holt is gay, and has been out since the 1970s, yet the team of NYPD detectives now under his command missed all the clues. Some are more subtle, like certain mannerisms or the pride flag in his office. Others, like the framed article in his office with a picture of him and the headline "NYPD Appoints First Openly Gay Captain", less so. | |

The Order of the Stick: Used in this strip when Tarquin explains the reasons why he is sure Nale hasn't left the city after his latest scheme fell through: because Nale is a cautious planner and thus wouldn't leave the city without replacements for the men he lost, because Nale has a massive ego and thus wouldn't leave until he knew what Elan and Tarquin had to say about his stunt... and because Tarquin is wearing a ring of True Seeing and thus can see the invisible Nale standing right next to them. Cue massive Oh, Crap! from the latter. In a later strip, Elan asks Roy why they couldn't use Banjo the Clown, the Deity of Human Origin he created, to break a deadlock between all the gods of the world voting whether or not to destroy the planet. Roy offers three reasons: Banjo is not actually recognized as part of any existing pantheon, the voting requires a high priest capable of casting a rather powerful spell to channel their god, when the only worshipper of Banjo is a mid-level bard, and third, Banjo is a hand puppet. Before hearing the last reason, Elan actually looks horrified that Roy seemingly took his suggestion entirely seriously and may have even considered it himself. |

Dresden Codak: After Kim is the victim of a Satchel Switcheroo, Vonnie explains how she ran the contents of the thief's bag through several departments of the city's Vast Bureaucracy and finally managed to narrow down his identity... while a caption points out that one of said contents was a teacher's ID card with his name and address on it. This kind of myopia is entirely in keeping with Nephilopolis' culture of preferring by-the-numbers scientific literature review to direct observation of anything. Yvonne does this again in a later strip while investigating the disappearance of Asmodea: |

Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc: Clues from the first case include paint taken from a display sword, an unscrewed doorknob, and a locked incinerator room... and the victim wrote their killer's name behind them in blood. To be fair to the characters for not getting the culprit immediately, it was written upside-down and in English, so they initially assumed it was a number. This has, however, led to a lot of very confused English-speaking fans wondering why Makoto is so stumped when it's obvious from the start that the killer is Leon. | |

Dollhouse has a light, comical version. When Caroline first meets Bennett in college, she guesses Bennett is a neuroscience major. Bennett is shocked she guessed that so easily and asks how she figured it out. Caroline says it's because Bennett is eating a tuna sandwich, and fish is brain food... and also because Bennett is carrying a large stack of neuroscience textbooks. | |

There's a short The Two Ronnies sketch in which Ronnie Barker plays a detective. He is given a pound note and proclaims that it's a counterfeit. When asked how he knew, he gives a series of very subtle clues that only someone with a trained eye would have been able to spot (like the letters being just a fraction of an inch lower than they should be, or the shading getting dark too fast)...then turns it over and points out that it says "Bank of Toyland" on the back. | |

A case in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Justice For All has the rather pretentious witness Wellington claim that he knew a victim was a police officer because of his shoddy, do-it-yourself hairstyle, the way he tied his tie, and his basic-looking shoes. That, and the policeman's uniform he was wearing. | |

Parodied on the 1960s spy spoof Get Smart, where Max would begin to list a series of utterly nonsensical clues to the solution of an obvious mystery, and 99 would supply the smoking gun...which Max would then hastily claim was the last clue in his list. The joke is done in the movie Get Smart Again, but with Max listing off actual clues before providing the smoking gun himself. | |

In A Spartan in Westeros, Master Chief investigates Brandon Stark's fall from the Broken Tower. The next day, when Tyrion swings by to discuss the topic, he instantly fingers Cersei and Jaime as the culprits. An initially-flippant Tyrion challenges him to prove it, so the Spartan shows him the foot, hand and fingerprints they left behind, a hair from Cersei, and drops of mixed sexual fluids, finishing by telling Tyrion he has Brandon's direct statement. | |

In the Rivers of London short story "The Domestic", Peter is investigating a woman whose flat has been occupied by an entity she believes to be the ghost of her husband. His narration notes that it doesn't quite behave the way ghosts normally do; that it appears as her husband did as a young man, while ghosts usually appear as they did on death; that the shoes don't match his Teddy Boy appearance; and that he doesn't remember the name of his mother. He then tells the woman (and the reader) that he checked before coming round, and her husband isn't even dead. | |
