Qi Lin walked to where the sound was and found Xiao Li behind a pile of old book boxes. They looked down and found several locked boxes covered with dust.

"These are the jewelry I found." Xiao Li said, "I haven't opened the box yet because I'm not sure if there is a trap inside."

"It's right to be cautious." Qi Lin nodded. "Let's first investigate whether there is anyone else in this warehouse and then decide what to do next."

The two began to search the entire warehouse carefully. After confirming that no one else was present,18 they began to study how to open these boxes. Qi Lin concentrated on observing the lock core of each box, trying to find out the secrets inside.

"Mr. Qi, I found that the lock cylinders of these boxes seem to be of the same type." Xiao Li pointed to one of the boxes and said.

"Really? Then let's give it a try." Qi Lin took out the tools and began to operate them carefully. After several attempts, he successfully opened the first box, which was filled with gorgeous jewelry.

"Great!" Xiao Li exclaimed excitedly, "We are getting closer and closer to solving this theft case."

Qi Lin smiled reassuringly and continued to open other boxes. Over the next few hours, they opened all the boxes and collected a large amount of jewelry. The value of these jewels is immense.

Just as they were immersed in the joy of victory, the door of the warehouse was suddenly knocked open from the outside. A tall man broke into the warehouse, with anger and fear in his eyes

"Who are you? Why did you steal my jewelry?" the man asked angrily.

"Please calm down, sir." Qi Lin responded quickly, trying to calm his emotions. "I am Qi Lin, a detective. These jewelry were stolen and do not belong to you. 17

The man was visibly shocked and his eyes became more confused. "Theft? But these jewels are mine! They are the result of years of hard work."

Questions arose in Qi Lin's mind. This man seemed to have his own story. He stepped forward and tried to communicate with the man. "Sir, please tell me more details. Why do you think these jewels are yours?"

The man relaxed slightly and sighed. "My name is Zhang Zhihao, and I am a famous jewelry merchant. A few days ago, my collection room was burglarized and many precious jewelry were stolen. I spent a lot of effort to search and finally learned that these jewelry Hidden in this abandoned warehouse.”

Qi Lin thought for a moment and felt that the matter was not simple. "Sir, perhaps we have encountered a more complicated case. Since you can provide key information, I hope you can cooperate with our investigation."

Zhang Zhihao hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. "183Okay, I will cooperate with your work. I don't want to be misunderstood as a thief."

Qi Lin tidied up the jewelry and left Xiao Li to guard the warehouse. Later, he and Zhang Zhihao returned to the office together and launched an in-depth investigation.

During the investigation, they gradually discovered a complicated situation. It turned out that Zhang Zhihao had a competitive relationship with a jeweler named Li Qiang. Li Qiang is the suspect Qi Lin has been tracking.

By analyzing the evidence, Qi Lin gradually found a breakthrough. He speculated that Li Qiang might have used his connections to secretly hide the jewelry in Zhang Zhihao's collection room "with the intention of harming him."
