The door creaked open, revealing the lifeless body of millionaire tycoon, Victor Blackwood, sprawled across his mahogany desk. Detective Lila Novak stepped into the dimly lit study, her keen eyes scanning the room for clues. The only evidence found at the scene was a single, gold-plated cufflink bearing the initials "J.S."

Lila questioned the three suspects present at Blackwood's mansion that fateful evening: his wife, Evelyn, his business partner, James Sullivan, and his long-time friend, Dr. Richard Evans. Each had a motive—Evelyn's resentment towards her husband's infidelity, Sullivan's desire for control over the company, and Evans' mounting gambling debts.

As Lila delved deeper, she discovered that the cufflink belonged to none other than James Sullivan. Confident in her findings, she confronted him, only to be met with a solid alibi. Sullivan claimed to have been in a meeting with an international client at the time of the murder, a fact confirmed by his secretary.

Perplexed, Lila retraced her steps. It was then that she noticed a peculiar detail—the study's antique clock had stopped at precisely 8:47 PM. Realization dawned upon her as she gathered the suspects once more.

"The killer," Lila announced, "is none other than Dr. Richard Evans." The room fell silent as she continued, "Evans knew about Sullivan's meeting and used it to his advantage. He set the clock to the exact time of the meeting, murdered Blackwood, and planted Sullivan's cufflink to frame him. The stopped clock was a clever ruse to throw us off."

Under the weight of the evidence, Evans confessed, revealing his desperate attempt to pay off his gambling debts with Blackwood's life insurance. Another mystery solved by the brilliant Detective Lila Novak.
