Unraveling the Truth: A Poetic Mystery

In the dead of night, a haunting cry,
A soul cut short, a mystery sky-high.
Who could have done it, with malice so great,
Leaving a victim, with no reason to relate.

The detective steps in, with a sharpened gaze,
Scanning the scene, for evidence ablaze.
The motive unclear, the culprit untold,
The case begins, its secrets untold.

As the clues mount, the trail heats up,
The killer's identity, begins to erupt.
A tangled web of lies and deceit,
The truth concealed, too sly to beat.

But the detective perseveres, with a steady pace,
His resolve unbreakable, in the killer's chase.
The motive uncovered, the killer confesses,
Justice prevails, with a final success.

The storm subsides, the night yields to dawn,
The mystery solved, its secrets are drawn.
The detective triumphant, a job well-done,
The killer locked up, until justice is won.
