Detective Jane Pierce stood in the dimly lit living room, her flashlight casting eerie shadows on the walls. The victim, a wealthy businessman, lay sprawled on the floor, a pool of blood spreading beneath his body. The room was silent except for the ticking of a grandfather clock, and the faint sound of raindrops hitting the windowpane. Jane studied the crime scene, her mind racing as she tried to piece together the clues that would lead her to the killer.
