The moon hung low, casting shadows. Detective Leo Stone arrived silently. A mansion loomed, doors ajar eerily. The air, thick with unsaid secrets, chilled him. Inside, a chandelier sparkled, reflecting a scene of opulence. A crowd of guests, murmuring, clustered in groups. Sudden silence fell; a body lay discovered. Detective Stone knelt, assessing the grim tableau. Blood pooled, stark against the marble floor. The victim, a wealthy entrepreneur, smiled eerily. Around him, whispers of scandal swirled. His wife, elegant in black, sobbed quietly. Guests exchanged glances, fear in their eyes. A clock ticked, marking the passing seconds. The game of whodunit had just begun.
