Detective James Thompson was a man of many talents, but his greatest one was his ability to travel through time. He had been gifted with this ability from a young age, and he had always known that he was destined for something great.

As a child, James had always been fascinated by history and the idea of being able to witness events from the past. He spent hours reading books and watching documentaries about different eras and civilizations. But as he grew older, he started to realize that his interest in the past was more than just a hobby. He could actually travel through time.

At first, he was scared and confused about his ability, he didn't know what to do with it, and he didn't trust anyone with this secret. He kept it to himself, but as he grew older, he realized that he could use his power for good. So, he decided to become a detective and use his ability to solve crimes that would have otherwise been impossible to solve.

It was a cold and dark night when he received a call from the police department. A young woman had been murdered, and they were having trouble finding any leads. They needed his help, and he knew that this was the case he had been waiting for.

The next day, he arrived at the crime scene and immediately got to work. He closed his eyes and concentrated on the time and place where the murder had taken place. Suddenly, he felt a jolt and opened his eyes to find himself in the past.

He was standing in the victim's apartment, on the night of the murder. He could see the killer, a shadowy figure in the corner, holding a knife. He knew he had to act fast, so he lunged forward and subdued the killer, who turned out to be the victim's ex-boyfriend.

James quickly gathered all the evidence he could find, including the murder weapon and DNA samples, before returning to the present. He presented the evidence to the police, and the killer was quickly arrested.

The case was solved, and the victim's family finally had closure. James was hailed as a hero, and he knew that he had used his power for good.

From that day on, James Thompson became known as the time-travelling detective. He continued to use his ability to solve crimes and bring justice to those who needed it. He was a true hero, and he knew that as long as he had his power, he could make a difference in the world.

As the years went by, he solved countless cases, and he became a legend in the detective world. He was respected and admired by his colleagues and loved by the people. He had found his purpose in life and he knew that he would keep using his ability to make the world a better place, one case at a time.

But as he became more successful in solving cases, he realized that his ability also brought its own set of challenges. As he travelled through time, he had to be careful not to change anything that could affect the present. Even the slightest change could have major consequences, and he knew that he had to be responsible with his power.

One of the most difficult cases he ever had to solve was the murder of a young child. The child's body was found in a park, and the police had no leads. James knew that he had to find the killer, so he travelled back in time to the day of the murder. He saw the killer, a man with a sinister look in his eyes, and he followed him. But as he was about to apprehend the killer, he saw the man's face and realized that he knew him. It was his own father.

James was shocked and devastated.
