The fog rolled thick tonight. Detective Sarah Chen parked carefully. Victorian mansion loomed before her. Police lights painted everything red. Officer Martinez approached her slowly. "Body's upstairs in library, Detective." Sarah nodded and walked inside. Grandfather clock chimed eleven times. Expensive oil paintings watched silently. Blood pooled beneath leather chair. Victim slumped over mahogany desk. Letter opener pierced his back. Sarah pulled on latex gloves. The investigation would begin now.
