===Library Car===
Tails and Barry arrive to find Amy talking with Espio and Vector. Amy says she has a tip and heads off to the next car. After that, Espio and Vector tell the detectives some info: After getting to the Library, Espio picked up a book and read it, while Vector went to the Saloon Car out of boredom. Espio also states that Rouge was also looking for whatever she was looking for in the Library Car before heading to the Saloon Car. She returned and seemingly found something at the brochure stand, then left for the Casino Car before Shadow came through, locked the door behind him, and returned to the Lounge Car. Espio and Vector finish by saying this all happened before the train sped up, and were trapped in there until Amy came.

Though the detectives believe them, Tails says they should still look for evidence that confirms their stories. The three clues in the Library are a map of the car found in the brochure stand, the lock Shadow put on the door, and ''The Mirage Express Manual'', which Tails notably found to be out of alphabetical order with the other books on the shelf. After all these clues are found, the detectives decide to begin interrogations.

Vector reconfirms that he left the Library Car out of boredom, so all that is left to do is determine if Espio was really reading in the Library all this time or not. They determine it was the manual Espio was reading, as he had simply placed the book back into the incorrect place once he was through. To confirm this, Barry asks questions from the manual, which Espio answers correctly each time, and with enough detail to not be simple guesses. But Espio states that Vector was the only one who saw him reading, and that catches Tails' attention. The detectives state that Shadow would have also seen him reading while he was locking the doors. Tails also notes that Espio mentioned nothing about Shadow's return from the Saloon Car, having only mention Vector. Espio claimed to have been too immersed in his book to notice Shadow, but Tails does not believe him. Barry, however, stands up to Espio and uses the map to show that Espio was sitting in a spot behind a bookcase, which Vector confirms. As traveling through the Library Car was done in a straight line, the bookcase would have blocked Espio's view, which would explain why he did not notice Shadow's return. With the pair's alibis validated, Tails and Barry move on to the next car.
