Detective Brown arrived at the dark alley cautiously. Murder scene introduced, the victim lay motionless. Simon, a local vendor, discovered the body early morning. Crime scene lights flickered on, illuminating lifeless face. Initial investigation revealed no signs of forced entry. Neighbours heard nothing, too far from the bustling street. Friends described the victim as quiet, keeping to himself. Callebaut's coffee shop was the last place he was seen. An antique pocket watch was the only item found nearby. Those who crossed paths with Simon always noticed his watch.
