Your go to adventure formula

What is your go to adventure formula?

Mine:

Someone or something has committed a genre-appropriate crime. There are, let’s say, three useful witnesses, and an opportunity to use powers of detection. The PCs have to investigate rather than go to the authorities because (they are the authorities, there are no authorities, the authorities suspect them, etc.) and they have to keep it quiet in case the culprit tries to (escape, attack, do something else) and the authorities if any take interest.

It has room for sneaking around the scene to look for clues, being threatened by someone who doesn’t want the crime solved, and a chase or fight at the end. Can work with elegant country houses, inner city mean streets, dingy space stations...
