The rain hammered against the cracked windows of Ashford Manor as Detective Miriam Cole stepped carefully across the creaking threshold. A single lamp flickered beside the body, casting long, trembling shadows across the old oak floor and stained silk rug. Lord Ashford lay sprawled before the cold stone hearth, one pale hand clutching a torn letter sealed with crimson wax. Detective Miriam knelt down slowly, her gloved fingers hovering above the fatal wound, her sharp eyes cataloguing every suspicious detail. Behind her, the elderly butler cleared his throat nervously, his trembling voice barely audible over the howling winter storm outside. "Everyone in the household was present tonight, Detective, and every single one of them had a reason to despise him." Miriam rose slowly, tucking her notebook away, knowing that before dawn arrived, a killer would be hiding among these guests.
