The sun rose slowly over the city skyline, casting long shadows that stretched across the pavement. Detective James had just arrived at the murder scene, his expression a mixture of curiosity and dread. Looming above him was a towering skyscraper, its glass doors speckled with crimson streaks of blood. He pressed a button on his radio, his voice crackling and echoing through the silent hallways. "Two officers down, assailant unidentified," James muttered into the receiver, his fingers tightening on his weapon. His steps echoed as he climbed the stairwell, each one a cautious and methodical pace. On the tenth floor, the door hung ajar, a wide streak of blood leading into the darkened room. With a deep breath of anticipation, James entered the room, his eyes adjusting to the dim light. The sight of devastation greeted him - shattered furniture, strewn papers, and a lifeless body sprawled on the floor. James lowered his gun, drew his badge, and began to process the crime scene, his mind racing with possibilities. Every detail, every clue, was as precious as a hidden gem, waiting to be discovered and pieced together.
