Possible ways to balance a feature out in a gamemode I'm creating

[A Fghtr Pilot]

Hello. I'm making a gamemode that's based off of those detective-type games, you know, Cluedo and whatnot. But, a feature I've decided to implement to make it different from TTT or Murder is to replace having guns(no, not to make it family friendly :P) with being able to identify the player who is the murderer, to make it not-too-similar to Murder or TTT. Now, I don't need any help [i][b]coding[/b][/i] this, I just need help with ideas as how to balance it out. Because, a system like so could easily be countered and abused without restrictions:

-With an identification system, what will happen if you don't identify the murderer? People could use it as a portable "traitor-tester" to make the game unfair.

-My gamemode involves finding clues that spawn periodically that give hints as to who the murderer is. Maybe the identification system could only be used if a certain amount of clues have been found?

Any ideas or help as to how to balance this feature out would be [i][b]greatly[/b][/i] appreciated.

Note to the "use your imagination"-type people: I've tried to find out ways to balance this out and have failed at finding good ways. I'm using facepunch as a last resort. Please don't say "use your imagination".

Get yourself some Friends. Play a few rounds.
After a bit, go and let your friends explore. Or get some Random People on it.
That way you will get a lot of different people, a lot of different playstyles and you will see exploitation of your systems.
Then you can look the logs, watch the gameplay etc and analyze what is wrong.
