A famous detective has gathered a group of likely suspects. They analyze the evidence, interview the suspects, and thoroughly investigate the crime scene in order to figure out which of the gathered people is the culprit. The conclusion? Everybody was. As opposed to having one or two people commit a crime out of several potential suspects, all the suspects were in on it to some extent. Not related to the other kind of "doing it." Usually. See also Everyone Is a Suspect, Lotsa People Try to Dun It, and Two Dun It (when there's two culprits). Note: This is a Spoilered Rotten trope, that means that EVERY SINGLE EXAMPLE on this list is a spoiler by default and most of them will be unmarked. This is your last warning, only proceed if you really believe you can handle this list. |

In the Heralds of Valdemar series, Talia sings a comic song called "It Was a Dark and Stormy Night" (Mercedes Lackey put the full lyrics at the end of the book) in which a Countess (a dreadful, tone-deaf singer) is very likely murdered by her husband, with the entire household conspiring to make sure he has an alibi at all times. The death is eventually ruled a suicide. "Though no one could imagine why she'd try to eat her lute." |

One The Spectre story had him investigate the brutal murder of a hated slumlord who was chained to a boiler pipe in the basement, and beaten burned and stabbed over a period of days. It's eventually revealed that while it was just one tennant who chained him up, most, if not all, of the other tenants heard the man's screaming for help, but either did nothing or went down to inflict further torture upon him themselves. | |

Subverted in the Randall Garrett Lord Darcy story, The Napoli Express (whose name is an obvious shout-out to the Christie novel). When the non-hero detective comes up with the "they all did it" theory, the hero has to restrain himself from saying how silly the idea is. The people involved can't even hide that they all know each other, even though they're trying to. Hiding that they conspired together to commit the murder is quite ridiculous. The whole story is a Shout-Out to the Christie original. Garrett's solution even harks back to the one Poirot presents as the alternative to the trope. |

On Dallas, one of the major plot twists was the shooting of J.R. Ewing. To avoid any leaks, the producers, cast, and crew shot scenes of everyone's character individually shooting J.R..... up to and including J.R. himself ambushing himself in his own office and mercilessly gunning himself down. | |

The entire mystery gets solved thanks to a surveillance tape: everyone tried to kill him in his sleep back-to-back... but no one was actually guilty of murder because unbeknownst to them, Salty died from a heart attack right before his nap. | |

However, two of the three guns are loaded with blanks; the idea being that will never know which of them fired the fatal shot. But one of the brothers confesses to knowing which gun was loaded with the real bullet, and choosing that gun to ensure the murder happened. He is charged with murder, and his brothers are charged with conspiracy. | |

Beware the Batman episode "Games" had Humpty Dumpty kidnap five people (Batman, Katana, James Gordon, Tobias Whale, and Marion Grange) and had them participate in sadistic games, while they figured out who was the culprit that "ended" an innocent man's life, and who Humpty is trying to avenge. It turns out the man's life was "ended" by having him be framed and jailed for a crime he didn't commit, and that everyone involved had a hand in his framing and arrest, even though only Whale committed the actual crime while the others were not aware of his innocence. Batman argues that Humpty is the sixth culprit as well, since he knew about the man's innocence, but didn't speak up to save him from prison. | |

Comically subverted in the British spoof anthology series Murder Most Horrid starring Dawn French: In the episode "The Case of the Missing", everyone did do it, but the detective assigned to the case (French) is so confused and frustrated by their manipulation of the evidence that she finally snaps and concludes that she must have done it. Subverted again in the episode "Mangez Merveillac". Obnoxious travel writer Verity Hodge (French again) makes the French town of Merveillac a hugely popular tourist destination by forcing the locals to conform to stereotypes. Eventually, the locals grow tired of this, murder Hodge, and serve her up to the tourists at a local festival. However, once the credits roll, we discover that Hodge is actually alive and well, and the "murder" was part of a scheme to draw even more tourists to Merveillac by inspiring a Hollywood blockbuster. |

Farthing by Jo Walton is set up to appear like a classic interbellum country-house murder mystery. It's not. It's a political conspiracy. The "Farthing Set", a group of fascistically-inclined young upper-class political risers, arrange to kill one of their own members, James Thirkie. As a result, Mark Normanby becomes Prime Minister on a wave of sympathy; and the framing of an English Jew and an Irishman alleged to be an anarchist helps complete the country's slide into fascism. Other members of the Farthing Set also wind up well-placed in the new government. Widowed Angela Thirkie also benefits and takes off with the chauffeur. Anyone who knows anything disproving the conspiracy is Killed to Uphold the Masquerade, including Thirkie's own mother. | |

The Sea Inside: Sort of. It's an I Cannot Self-Terminate drama about Ramon, a quadriplegic who wishes to die by assisted suicide. Unfortunately Ramon loses his legal battle, leaving anyone who assists him in killing himself subject to prosecution. So he deliberately sets it up so that each of friends has a single task relating to his suicide —acquiring the cyanide, mixing it in the water, setting it by his bedside in a glass— and no one can actually be held responsible. | |

Bodies Bodies Bodies ends with the reveal that there wasn't actually a killer running around. David's death, the inciting incident for the plot, turned out to be an Accidental Suicide caused by a mix of Alcohol-Induced Idiocy and Social Media Before Reason. Everybody else suspected he was murdered when they found his corpse with a Slashed Throat and a bloody kukri nearby, and proceeded to turn on each other out of paranoia. Bee killed Greg out of suspicion that he was the killer, Emma drunkenly fell down a flight of stairs, and Jordan shot Alice before she herself was pushed over the staircase bannister by Bee. | |

The aptly-named "Murder Mystery" quest in RuneScape was initially not an example of this, as it involved narrowing down one suspect out of six, which varies from player to player. When a sequel was released, however, the earlier quest was retconned into a case of this trope by way of Merging the Branches, likely to avoid having to make six different versions of the harder, more complex quest. | |

30 Rock episode "It's Never Too Late For Now" is a Whole-Plot Reference to Murder on the Orient Express — Liz is even watching the 1974 film. The "crime" is that there was a conspiracy to get her laid with a Canadian gigolo. Like Poirot, she rejects the complex (though true) answer that all of her co-workers felt bad for her and got her laid, but the simple explanation that she met a guy, and had a fun night. | |

Pretty much the solution to "The Roman Puzzle" (1994), a Mickey Mouse mystery story by writer Bob Langhans. Mickey, as a professional detective, has been hired by a famous film director (and producer) to find out who has been sabotaging the production of his latest film. The director's career depends on this film. While there are early hints that the villain is the Phantom Blot, the film is an unauthorized and unflattering depiction of the Blot's life, Mickey pays attention to how poorly the director treats most of his associates. At the end the Blot is revealed as the mastermind behind the sabotage plan, but the Blot's accomplices include the director's own wife, plus actors, screenwriters, and other people who have been working for and with him for years. They hate him because he has taken credit for their work, verbally abused them for years, derailed their careers to ensure that they keep working for him, and he has kept giving them empty promises about promotions. While the "villains" (except the Blot) are going to prison, the shocked director realizes his isolation. He may complete his film and rescue his career, but he just lost the closest thing he had to friends and family. Not exactly a happy ending. | |

Death in Paradise: In "Dishing Up Murder", all of the suspects colluded to stage an elaborate cover-up to make it appear the Victim of the Week was murdered 12 hours later than he actually was. This provided them all with an alibi, except for the one person who didn't have a motive. In "Erupting in Murder", it turns out all of the suspects (bar one) committed the murder: two doing it for the money, and the third being blackmailed into it. The fourth suspect gets arrested on corruption charges. |

Though not really a detective, Italian giallo Il Profumo Della Signora In Nero provides one of the most extreme examples of the trope: in the ending it is revealed that virtually every living person (and possibly even most of the dead ones) appearing onscreen (including those with just one or two lines) except the protagonist was complicit in the events of the story. | |

Monk: In the episode "Mr. Monk Gets Drunk": Monk meets a guy, but the next day, everybody denies that he existed. The guy stole money from his employers and died of a heart attack. The other guests find out and agree to split the money, but hid the truth from Monk because he's honest, so they erase all traces of the man's existence. Likewise, in the episode "Mr. Monk Goes to the Bank": Monk goes undercover to find out which of the six members of the staff was the bank robber's accomplice. The answer? There was no robber, and the entire staff staged the crime to conceal their robbery of the bank's safe boxes. |

In Red vs. Blue, there's a variation. Throughout Seasons 11 and 12, we get flashbacks to how every single member of the Reds and Blues (Except Caboose, surprisingly enough) did something that could have caused their ship to crash- Tucker flirted with the pilot, Washington knocked a cable out of the wall, Grif spilled soda on an instrument panel, Sarge messed with the engine, and Simmons tried to update the ship's navigation computers midflight. The crash was actually caused by a tractor beam. Said antics just caused the ship to rip itself in half instead of crashing normally. | |

In the Sherlock Holmes story The Doctor's Case by Stephen King, only one person technically did it, but once Watson explains how it was done, Holmes and Lestrade immediately work out that it could not have been done without the active assistance of everyone else in the household. Then they consider the fact that this would cause an entire family to be executed or locked away for life, the victim had been emotionally abusing his family for decades and forced them to put up with it or be disinherited, and then, when he learned that he would be dying of natural causes within the year, changed the will so that the entire estate would go to a pet shelter, leaving his kin penniless, out of sheer spite, they choose not to arrest anyone and instead quietly remove the evidence that the deceased had been murdered by his kin so they could destroy the revised will. | |

CSI: One tongue-in-cheek episode concerned a man found dead in a swimming pool. Every time Doc Robbins finds a possible cause of death, it looks like a new suspect is to blame for his injuries, whether for intentional homicide or reckless endangerment. Eventually it turns out that the repeatedly-battered man sat down to recuperate, slipped into the pool when his deck chair collapsed, and accidentally drowned, meaning Everybody Failed To Do It. And played straight in "Unfriendly Skies", when mob rule took over and they all had a hand in killing the guy, who they mistakenly perceived as a threat to their own survival. Also played straight in "Rashomama" in that all the bridesmaids had a hand in the death of the mother of the groom. In "Suckers", pretty much everybody questioned about the casino robbery turns out to have been part of the owner's insurance scam. |

When she called the three about the ring's whereabouts, they not only feign ignorance of the missing rings, but also accused each other of the theft. Yuri then invites them back into her house to find the rings, which they all "found" the rings that "appeared" to be misplaced. Through hidden surveillance cameras, Yuri and Katsura learn that all three of them stole her rings in the first place, which results in their arrest. | |

Veronica Mars: a late season 1 episode reveals that basically, all the 09'ers were complicit in Veronica's rape, including her future boyfriend Logan, who supplied the drugs for the party. One review aptly summarized it as 09er culture raped Veronica. While Veronica actually wasn't raped, this was no thanks to the people around her. Then Season 2 retcons this with the revelation that she was raped. Whether or not this takes away from the general point is hotly debated. | |

The Hex begins with six video game characters together at an inn, and the bartender being informed that one of them will commit a murder. Turns out that every single character at the inn, including other NPCs and the bartender himself (who is the mastermind), need the player's help to murder their own creator, since each one of them has a reason to be angry with him, e.g. the platform mascot had his franchise sold to a corporation that proceeded to run it into the ground, the cooking game character was forced into a fighting game franchise away from his loving grandmother, the character from a strategy game found himself in a world that had been abandoned and taken over by modders, the bartender had his game deleted from existence, and such. | |

They had met in an online support group for gamblers and, on discovering they had all had their lives ruined by one particular online gambling company, moved to the village where it was based to extract revenge. Each of them killed one of the principals involved in the company, and teamed up in an attempt to kill the last but were arrested by Barnaby and Winter. They attempted to dress the murders up as the work of serial killer, but the methods of killing were so different that Barnaby was convinced there had to be more than one killer. | |

Mindhunter: The case on Beverly Jean Shaw, a woman found dismembered and mutilated in a junk yard. After outsider suspects are ruled out, the main suspects become is timid fiancee Benjamin, and his brother-in-law Frank with a past with violent crime. Eventually, Rose, Benjamin's sister and Frank's abused wife, comes forward and tells the police what happened. Benjamin beat and tied Beverly up out of jealousy and rage, after which Frank raped her, and Benjamin then stabbed her. Rose was roped in to help clean the crime scene. Based on her description of Rose's blood still gushing, it's determined she was still alive when Rose was present, which leads to her being charged with accessory to murder, and to the shock of the FBI, the prosecutors decide to pin the responsibility on Benjamin, when the agents consider Frank equally guilty, if not the probable instigator, who gets off with relatively lesser charges. | |
