Detective Jameson had always been different from the other officers in the precinct. He had a unique ability, one that he kept hidden from his colleagues. He could see into the past and had been using this ability to solve crimes for years. But nothing had prepared him for the case that was about to land on his desk.

The first murder was discovered in the early hours of the morning, a young woman was found strangled in an alleyway. The only clue was a small key left next to her body. The key led to a long-abandoned mansion on the outskirts of town. The mansion had been uninhabited for decades and had a reputation for being cursed. But as Jameson approached the mansion, he had a feeling that this case would be unlike anything he had ever encountered before.

When he entered the mansion, he was met with a feeling of dread. The air was thick with the energy of the past, and he knew that something terrible had happened here. He followed the energy through the house, room by room until he came to a door that was locked. He used the key to open the door and found himself standing in a room that had been sealed off for years. The room was filled with the energy of death, and Jameson knew that this was where the murder had taken place.

Using his ability to see into the past, Jameson replayed the events that had occurred in the room. He saw the victim, a young woman, being strangled by a man in a hooded cloak. He also saw the key that had been left next to her body and realized that it was a symbol of the killer's intent. He knew that this was only the beginning and that there would be more murders to come.

Jameson's suspicions were confirmed when another murder was discovered the next day. The victim was a young man, found strangled in a park. The key was found next to his body. Jameson knew that the killer was using the key to signify the location of the next murder, and he knew that he had to find the killer before another victim was found.

He spent the next few days investigating the mansion and the murders, piecing together a puzzle that seemed to have no solution. He followed leads, interviewed witnesses, and even used his ability to see into the past to gain insight into the killer's mind. But it wasn't until he found a diary hidden in the mansion that he finally had the answers he needed.

The diary belonged to a woman who had lived in the mansion many years ago. She had written about the evil that had taken over the house, and how her son had been possessed by a demon. She had been forced to seal off a room in the house to contain the demon, but it had been too late. The demon had taken over her son's body and had been using him to commit the murders.

Jameson realized that the hooded figure he had seen in the past was not the killer, but the demon possessing the son. He knew that he had to find a way to exorcise the demon and put an end to the murders once and for all.

He enlisted the help of a local priest and together, they performed an exorcism on the mansion. The demon was forced out of the son's body, and he was finally able to rest in peace. The murders stopped, and the key was no longer found next to the bodies.

The case was solved, and Jameson used his unique ability to bring justice to the victims and their families. But the memories of the mansion and the energy of the past would stay with him forever, a constant reminder of the darkness that existed in the world.
