by adding a subplot that puts the librarian and the killer together while the detective is solving the cases
Use the story description to answer the question.
A story is told from a detective’s perspective. The detective is investigating an unsolved murder from decades ago. The murder happened in a library. Many detectives have tried to crack the case, but none have succeeded. During the investigation, the detective begins to have feelings for the librarian who handles her requests for old newspapers. Their romance blooms but is often interrupted by the demands of the case. Just as they seem to be close to solving the case, a fresh murder happens—and it appears to be related to the cold case. At first, the detective suspects the librarian. A series of discoveries proves the librarian innocent. Together, the detective and the librarian solve both cases and catch the criminal—a patron who is often at the library.
