DETECTIVE AZAN

 

Ali picked up his saw and went into the forest to cut trees for wood. Just ten minutes later, people in the nearby town heard a loud scream coming from the forest. They rushed to the scene and found Ali dead. It appeared as though he had been attacked and killed by a wild animal. The townspeople immediately contacted a detective named Muhammad Azan from the nearby city. They explained the entire incident and mentioned that there were only birds and insects in the forest—no wild animals had ever been seen there. They also pointed out that a family in the town had a dog that might have been involved.

Azan went to the family's home and examined the dog. He noticed blood on its fur. The family explained that a man named Ahmad would come every day to take the dog for a walk. They said that today, Ahmad had told them that the dog had been running when it accidentally bumped into a tree. Azan collected a sample of the blood and sent it to the forensic lab. He also took down Ahmad's address.

The next day, Azan traveled to Ahmad’s house, which was located 30 miles away. He knocked on the door, but no one answered. He continued knocking for almost two minutes before an elderly man finally opened the door. Azan asked him about Ahmad, to which the man replied, "I don’t know anyone named Ahmad. I just moved here today." Azan, confused, asked, "Who sold you this house?" The man answered, "I bought it from Mr. Saad." Azan was puzzled by this response.

Five hours later, Azan received a report from the forensic lab. The blood on the dog was not only Ali's but also belonged to another person, who was likely Ahmad.

A few days later, a young man named Qasim, who was also cutting trees in the forest, heard the sound of a dog. He quickly called Detective Azan. The man, accompanied by the dog, tried to flee but was captured by Azan.

Azan pressured him to confess. The man revealed, "My name is Daud. I used to live happily with my family. One day, Ali robbed my house. After the robbery, we lost all our money, and my family died due to the hardships we faced. Two days after the robbery, I lost my job. I wanted revenge for all the suffering I endured. I knew you would eventually find me, so I sold my house a day before the incident. For the murder of Ali, I used someone else’s dog and gave different names to different people to avoid being caught. But you ruined my plan!"

Azan replied, "You broke the law, and now you will face the consequences."

Two weeks later, the court sentenced Daud to death by hanging.
