The word "investigate" specifically refers to the process of examining a case to determine the truth or gather evidence. Both "suspect" and "accuse" are related to the identification of a potential perpetrator, but they do not necessarily involve the systematic gathering of evidence that is characteristic of police investigations.Rate this question:
