This trope describes situations in which a character has been seeking the culprit in a murder for a long, long time (in a television context, usually at least a season's worth of episodes). The character finally locates the murderer, only to find that it was a hired hit. They know who pulled the trigger, but they need to learn who hired the assassin. Might be expanded to any form of unsolved mystery, and indeed non-criminal mysteries as well. Unmarked spoilers follow.
