On a dark and stormy night, Detective Brown arrived at the mansion's eerie gates, summoned by screams. Through rain and howling wind, he sprinted up the stone pathway, dread mounting with each step. At the door, he found a trembling butler, who led him inside, Browns senses on edge. In the grand parlor, a gruesome sight met his eyes: the hostess, Lady White, lay lifeless on the oriental rug, a dagger protruding from her chest.
