Title: Shadows of the Crimson Truth
A brutal murder shatters the peace of an HDB apartment, its horror echoing the grisly legacy of a past killer. When Jonathan Edward Price, a gentle soul trapped in a silent world, is found grotesquely mutilated, the investigation plunges into a chilling web of secrets, betrayals, and a darkness that refuses to stay buried. Can you uncover the truth behind this ritualistic savagery and bring justice to a life silenced too soon?
The air in the cramped HDB apartment hung heavy, thick with the scent of disinfectant and something far fouler. The landlord's assistant, Mr. Harun, stood trembling at the threshold of the master bedroom, the door slightly ajar.
What met his eyes froze him to the core: Jonathan's body, still and mutilated, grotesquely posed on a blood-soaked mattress. Organs lay scattered like macabre offerings. The horror was immediate, visceral, and unspeakable.
Suddenly, a piercing shriek tore through the humid morning air, not from inside the room, but from the assistant himself. It was a scream born of pure terror, echoing through the quiet apartment block, alerting the unsuspecting neighbors to the nightmare that had just begun.
