The moonlit night cast an eerie glow over the quiet street. In a quaint, suburban neighborhood, a single house stood out. Its windows were dark, and the front door slightly ajar. A gentle breeze rustled the leaves of the nearby trees. The sound of a distant dog's bark echoed in the air. Suddenly, a muffled scream pierced the silence from inside the house. Moments later, a figure emerged, clutching something in its hand. The figure quickly vanished into the shadows, leaving behind a mystery. Inside, a lifeless body lay sprawled across the living room floor. The murder weapon, a bloody candlestick, lay beside the victim.
