During an effort to identify a killer, a traitor, The Mole, or some other unsavory individual, a character specifically raises the possibility of themselves being the culprit. They may simply be that intellectually honest, or want to impart to the other characters that no one should be considered Beneath Suspicion. That said, this isn't an actual confession; a character who indulges in this trope does not claim that they are the culprit, they simply acknowledge that they shouldn't be trusted solely on their word. Can show up in Spot the Imposter or Everyone Is a Suspect situations. Compare False Confession and Taking the Heat. Contrast The Scapegoat. |

Umineko: When They Cry: Ange adopts this stance when she first appears to help Battler in the fourth game. She wants Battler to stay on his guard, think his moves through carefully, and trust no one blindly, so she insists that he should even treat Ange's own words with suspicion. | |

With This Ring: When Paul discusses with team leader Aqualad the accusation they've received that there is a mole on the team, Aqualad wants to keep it quiet and investigate everyone covertly, to avoid everyone suspecting each other or tipping the mole off. Paul agrees to that, but only on the condition that he and Aqualad are checked first. They're able to borrow the Lasso of Truth from Wonder Woman to ensure that they're both clean. | |

SCP Foundation: SCP-086 is either the former Foundation administrator Dr. [REDACTED], or an entity pretending to be Dr. [REDACTED]. Either way, it outright acknowledges that it could be an impostor and insists on being treated with exactly the same degree of distrust as all other SCP items. It even insists that it should be reclassified from "Safe" to a higher threat level, "Euclid", seeing as it is a sapient entity possessing all the dangerous knowledge of a Foundation administrator. | |

In one The Hero of Three Faces strip, the Tenth Doctor is talking to Donna, who has reason to suspect he might be an illusion, and says that he knows he isn't, but that it's certainly a possibility she shouldn't discount. Donna decides that only the real Doctor would say that, and the Doctor immediately points out that a really good fake would also say it in order to lead her to that conclusion. | |

Love & Pies: When Amelia is looking for clues about the arson attack on the cafe, Yuka gives her a list of possible suspects. She includes herself on the list because Amelia has to suspect everyone. When Yuka then asks Amelia to investigate her if she's the culprit behind the fire, she claims that she either started it so Amelia could come home, she wanted to look for aliens in the basement, or she wanted to attract Eve's attention so she could write an article about it. Yuka then confesses that she was busy setting up a trap for The Purple Fox when the fire happened, proving herself innocent. | |

Harry Is a Dragon, and That's OK: Harry's natural magic resistance, the only weakness being his eyes, means he can break the Imperius Curse just by blinking. However, Professor Moody talks to him after class about the risk of a Dark Wizard simply casting the curse on him and ordering him not to blink, so he'd still like to test Harry's ability to resist it. Harry thinks it over, but decides he'd like one of his friends to be present, and Professor Moody gives him house points for being Properly Paranoid. | |

Played with in the June Bride case of Case Closed - when the bride of a wedding is poisoned, Magure dismisses the bride's father (Magure's boss actually!) initially since he cannot possibly have been responsible. However, the father steps in and says that in order for Magure to do his job fairly, he should be treated as a suspect regardless of who he is. | |

In Death Comes as the End, Renisenb and Hori meet with the family matriarch Esa to discuss the mysterious string of deaths in the family. Esa outright says that anyone could be the killer, no matter how unlikely-seeming — including the three of them. Esa even suggests a plausible motive that could have driven her to commit the murders, as does Hori. | |

And Then There Were None: After the murder of General Macarthur, Judge Wargrave admits he does not have a good alibi — he was sitting by himself on the terrace at the approximate time of Macarthur's death. He gives his word that he never left the terrace, but in the spirit of intellectual honesty he says that his word is insufficient without proof... and that practically everyone present is in the same uncomfortable situation. It later turned out that he did do it. | |
