Under the pale moonlight, a figure stumbled through the garden, breaths shallow, hands clutching a torn letter tightly, eyes scanning the dark. A silenced gunshot echoed, shattering the tranquil night, and an antique vase shattered nearby, splinters glinting in the moon's cold glow. In the grand foyer of Blackwood Manor, the chandelier flickered ominously, casting eerie shadows across the marble floor, signaling unseen danger. Footsteps hurried in the hallway, frenzied whispers followed, servants gathered, aware of imminent calamity, each face etched with mounting fear. Detective Montgomery arrived, observed the chaos, discerned the subtle clues, promised justice, stepping into the heart of Blackwood's dark secrets.
