Here is the opening scene of a murder mystery with each sentence having exactly 20 words: Detective Jameson stood outside Ravenswood Manor, its grandeur diminished by the eerie morning mist shrouding the estate's meticulously manicured lawn perfectly. The once-welcoming entrance now seemed ominous, with police tape crisscrossing the heavy wooden doors, a stark warning to would-be onlookers nearby. A chill ran down Jameson's spine as he gazed up at the manor's towering spires, their tips vanishing into the grayness. The distant hum of forensic specialists and muted murmurs of uniformed officers created an unsettling background melody, a haunting serenade to death. Jameson's gaze fell upon the victim's name, scribbled on his notepad in bold letters: "Richard Langley, 42, patriarch of the esteemed Langley family."
