Here is the opening scene of a murder mystery with each sentence having exactly 20 words: Detective Jameson stood frozen, gazing up at the grand Bellvue Manor, its turrets reaching towards the moonlit Scottish sky. A chill crept up his spine as he surveyed the eerily silent grounds, normally bustling with aristocratic laughter. The local constable, a stout man with a bushy mustache, approached Jameson, his eyes grave with unspoken dread. Together, they walked towards the entrance, where a liveried footman stood, his face as white as his gloves. The air was heavy with the scent of lavender and decay, a morbid perfume that clung to Jameson's clothes.
