It was a dark and stormy night as Detective John Mayor pulled his trench coat tighter, shielding himself from the cold autumn breeze. He approached the crime scene, a luxurious mansion known for hosting extravagant parties, now illuminated by the flashing red and blue lights of the police cruisers parked outside. Mayor, an experienced detective known for his sharp insight, immediately noticed the distinctive lack of sirens, an eerie silence that only heightened his senses. As he stepped into the grand foyer, his keen eyes fell upon the body of a young woman lying motionless on the marble floor, a solitary rose placed delicately in her lifeless hands.
