The body lay sprawled on the floor, a pool of crimson beneath it. Detective Lila Stone surveyed the scene, her keen eyes taking in every detail. The victim, a wealthy businessman named Robert Montgomery, had been stabbed multiple times.

As Lila examined the room, she noticed the window was slightly ajar. She approached it cautiously, her gloved hands carefully inspecting the frame. A faint smudge of blood on the sill confirmed her suspicions: the killer had entered and exited through this window.

Lila turned her attention to the suspects. Montgomery's wife, Evelyn, seemed devastated by the loss, her eyes red and puffy from crying. His business partner, James Wilson, appeared oddly calm, his expression unreadable. The maid, Maria, who had discovered the body, was visibly shaken.

Lila interviewed each suspect, but their alibis seemed solid. Evelyn claimed she was at a charity event, James said he was working late at the office, and Maria had been cleaning the kitchen when she heard a commotion and found Montgomery's body.

As Lila dug deeper, she discovered that Montgomery had been embroiled in a bitter legal battle with his former business associate, David Thompson. Thompson had sworn revenge after losing the case, but he had an airtight alibi – he was out of the country at the time of the murder.

Just as Lila was about to give up, she noticed something peculiar. The blood smudge on the window sill was on the inside, not the outside. The killer hadn't entered through the window; they had staged it to look that way.

Lila confronted the suspects once more, and this time, the truth came to light. It was Evelyn who had murdered her husband. She had discovered that he was having an affair with Maria and had decided to take matters into her own hands. She had staged the scene to look like an outside job and had even planted evidence to implicate Thompson. James, who had secretly been in love with Evelyn, had helped her cover up the crime.

As the guilty parties were led away in handcuffs, Lila couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. Another case closed, another mystery solved. She knew that there would be many more to come, but for now, justice had been served.
