Chapter 7 - ~The Showdown~

As the investigation into Marcus' murder continued, the detectives were closing in on the truth. They had traced the phone call back to a business associate of Marcus, a man named Victor. Victor had a history of shady business practices and was known to be violent.

The detectives decided to confront Victor directly, hoping that he would confess and give them the information they needed to solve the case. They knew that Victor was a calculating man and that they would need to catch him off guard if they wanted to get a confession.

But things didn't go as planned. When they confronted Victor, he denied any involvement in the murder and accused the detectives of harassing him. The confrontation quickly turned violent, and the detectives were forced to defend themselves.

In the heat of the moment, detective Jack made a critical mistake: he revealed more information about the investigation than he should have. Victor realized that he was the prime suspect and panicked, attacking the detectives with deadly force.

The detectives were caught off guard by the sudden attack, but they managed to subdue Victor long enough to arrest him. They had finally solved the case, and they were grateful for the opportunity to see justice done.

The investigation into Marcus' murder was over, and the detectives realized that it had been a challenging and complex case. They had learnt a valuable lesson about the importance of working together and never giving up on a case until it was solved.
