Rain poured relentlessly, drenching the deserted street. A solitary lamp post flickered, casting eerie shadows. Suddenly, a door creaked open, revealing a dimly lit room. Inside, an elegant figure lay motionless on the floor. Crimson liquid seeped from a wound, staining the plush carpet. A shattered glass vase nearby hinted at a struggle. The silence was deafening, broken only by the dripping rain. In the distance, a clock tower struck midnight. The stage was set for a thrilling murder mystery.
