Rain hammered against the old manor's tall windows as Detective Clara Voss stepped carefully across the dark, creaking wooden floor. A single candle flickered on the mahogany desk, casting long shadows across scattered papers and a tarnished silver letter opener. Lord Ashford lay motionless behind the heavy oak desk, his eyes staring blankly toward the cracked plaster ceiling above him. Detective Voss knelt quietly beside the body, carefully noting the deep crimson stain spreading slowly across his white silk shirt. Nothing else in the study seemed disturbed except for a single missing item: the ornate ruby ring he always wore. She glanced toward the open window, quietly noticing wet, muddy footprints leading out into the dark, silent, storm-soaked garden beyond. The storm outside seemed to whisper ancient secrets that only the killer, and the old manor itself, somehow truly understood.
