The Detective Who Solved the Cold Case

Detective Rahman was a gifted investigator who had solved many cases in his career. In his eighth year, he took on a cold case that was a murder mystery. The victim was a businessman who had built a textile empire. Everyone said it was because of his flawed business dealings. But Rahman knew hatred was a deeper motive. The case documents embodied all the complexity. Either he would solve it, or retire with failure. Rahman first investigated the fourth witness, who was an exotic restaurant owner. His story was suspicious because he gave a weak excuse. The extent of the investigation was huge because a felony case requires a lot of evidence. Rahman worked faster than usual because there was pressure to show results. His research on fiscal records showed that the victim's partner had been an inmate before. This person's ground was many insults and betrayal. Rahman understood that the killer's identity was this partner. During the trial in court, the defense lawyer tried to argue that the evidence was insufficient. But Rahman's thorough work proved everything. The jury decided to punish the killer with a maximum sentence. Rahman's dedication and skill proved that either justice delayed or justice denied - both are wrong.
