Since your main character is trying to solve the mystery on her own, it would be interesting to me to see some tension between your official detective and your not-so-official detective. The detective can be suspicious and critical of those who try to take matters into their own hands, and may have thoughts that untrained eyes trying to look into a case can do more harm than good.

If I think of a stereotypical detective and about how a teenager doing her own case would interact (negatively I think) with an official detective, I picture the detective as a man. I know it's cliche but I don't think there are as many female detectives as male.
