Rain lashed against the grand Victorian mansion, obscuring the already gloomy evening sky with dismal grayness. Detective Inspector Davies arrived at the estate, meticulously surveying the grounds with a weary, professional gaze. A frantic housekeeper, Mrs. Higgins, rushed toward him, her face etched with palpable, unsettling distress. She explained that Lord Ashworth had been discovered lifeless within his locked study this very morning. The local constabulary had secured the scene, but they frankly admitted they lacked any immediate leads here. Davies noted the heavy, antique furniture and the pervasive scent of old books and beeswax polish. A single crimson stain bloomed on the Persian rug beneath the deceased’s outstretched hand, quite startling. He requested a thorough forensic examination, prioritizing every minute detail in his meticulous observations. The air hung heavy with unspoken secrets and a lingering, unsettling sense of tragic desperation.
