Detective Sarah Mitchell stared at the lifeless body sprawled across the marble floor, her mind already piecing together the scene. Blood had pooled beneath the victim's head, creating a dark halo that seemed to mock the chandelier's golden glow. Through the mansion's towering windows, flashes of lightning illuminated the study, casting strange shadows that danced across the victim's pale face. The murder weapon, a heavy brass candlestick, lay discarded near the antique desk, its surface now smeared with crimson fingerprints. Six suspects waited nervously in the adjacent room, each harboring their own secrets about the deceased millionaire who lay before them.
