The Detective's Dilemma

Detective Arman was talking to his client. The case was quite complicated. A wealthy adult had died, and the police were passing it off as a natural death. But Arman's agency believed it was a crime. Arman went to the scene and found some evidence that the police had failed to detect. He called his agent and said, 'I'm sure this is a murder.' His agent agreed with him. Going deeper into the investigation, Arman learned that everyone in the deceased's family was accusing each other. At one point, a family member admitted to being present at the time of the incident. Arman decided to arrest him. But his gut told him that the real killer was still apart from the scene. He understood that if he blamed the wrong person, the real culprit would escape. Arman had to find the end of this deadly game.
