**In a dimly-lit mansion,** an opulent gathering ebbed, their voices filling the air. With a groan, the grand candelabra seized attention, as it'd swung free. Circling the crimson carpet, guests stumbled and gawked, revealing the host's **lifeless form.** Stabbed through the heart, a dagger jutted from his chest, **blood pooled** around him. Panic swirled, as fingers pointed all around, each **accusation fled** tongue's tip in frantic whirls. Detective Tomas arrived, assessing the scene, his gaze **cold and calculating.** He spotted the missing candlestick, a **silver-handled knife** now missing its motive. Suspicion simmered, as Tomas gestured the guests quiet, **orders barked** in commanding tones. Sifting through lies and motives, **justice would be served,** one way or another.
