Guests scattered in panic, searching for the source of the noise. The body of the host lay motionless, a crimson pool surrounding it. Detectives arrived, their keen eyes scouring the scene for clues. Suspicion grew thick, as each guest eyed the others warily. Whispers and accusations filled the air, the tension palpable. The case had only just begun, a puzzle to unravel. Uncovering the truth would require unraveling a web of lies.
