More details to this question:
A detective wants to question me against my case. If I don’t go, I’m afraid he will file charges against me for hiding from him. He has already threatened me that the case will be worse if I don’t cooperate.

As I do not understand the entirety of the situation, it is possible to give you more specific advice beyond the fact that you should be hiring and conferring with an attorney immediately.

You have no legal duty to speak with the police, however, if you are going to talk to the police you should have an attorney with you, you are much more likely to talk yourself into trouble than out of trouble.
