Detective Jameson stood at the edge of the grand estate, gazing out at the sprawling gardens and tranquil lake. The morning sunlight cast a serene glow over the manicured lawns, a stark contrast to the chaos within. A sense of unease settled in the pit of his stomach as he surveyed the police cars and ambulances. A uniformed officer approached, his expression somber, and handed Jameson a file containing the victim's preliminary details and photographs. The victim, a wealthy businessman, lay inside the mansion, his body discovered by a maid mere hours ago. Jameson's eyes scanned the scene, taking in the tape and markers, the fluttering police flags and investigative equipment. A chill ran down his spine as he caught sight of the crime scene's eerie and ominous focal point. The air was heavy with the scent of freshly cut grass and the faint tang of something more sinister.
