Detective's assignment (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

case

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">detective's assignment</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for case that I've seen before include "Cover" , "Instance - container" , "Piece of luggage and a lawyer's proceeding" , "Instance - lawsuit" , "Carefully inspect < suit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune and the USA Today.
