As the night went on, the library was transformed into a crime scene. The police cordoned off the area, and a team of detectives arrived to investigate the murder.
Detective Jack was the senior investigator in charge of the case. He was a stern, no-nonsense man with a reputation for being a skilled detective. He was joined by his partner, Detective Enza, who was new to the force but eager to prove herself.
The detectives began by questioning the two women who had discovered the body: Sarah, the librarian, and Emily, the college student.
"What happened here?" Detective Jack said, his voice firm and serious. "We need to know everything that happened."
Sarah explained how the man had come into the library looking for shelter from the storm and how she and Emily had found the body. Emily added that they hadn't seen anyone else in the library except for themselves and the man.
Detective Enza then asked the women if they had any idea who the man might be or why he had been killed. Sarah said she'd never seen the man before and had no idea why he had come to the library. Emily mentioned that the man had been wearing a long black coat and a wide-brimmed hat, which didn't match the weather outside.
Soon, the detectives had a new lead. They were able to identify the man as a local drug dealer named Marcus, who had a reputation for being violent and dangerous. They knew his death was likely related to his criminal activity and began to suspect that the murder was a hit.
The investigation was only just beginning, and the detectives had a long road ahead of them. They knew that solving this case would require all their skills and experience as detectives.
