"We have evidence placing you at the scene of the crime," Detective Cruz said, laying out the facts.
"I was there, but I didn't kill him," the suspect confessed, his facade crumbling.

"Then who did?" I pressed, eager to uncover the truth.
"It was...it was my partner," the suspect admitted, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Your partner?" Detective Cruz repeated, her interest piqued.
"He was the one who stabbed Mr. Salud. I tried to stop him, but it was too late," the suspect confessed, his voice filled with regret.

"Where can we find him?" I asked, feeling a surge of adrenaline.
"He's at our hideout on the outskirts of town," the suspect revealed, his voice barely above a whisper.

"Let's go," Detective Cruz said, her eyes blazing with determination.
As we raced to the hideout, I couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency. We were running out of time to catch the real killer.
