"12-3-6-9..." he muttered. Suddenly, he noticed a tiny groove in the center of the clock face.

He reached out and groped for the groove and felt a key. He took the key off, thinking it would lead him to the next location.

Qi Lin returned to the car and entered the new destination using the mobile phone navigation. The shape and size of the key told him that the next clue would lead him to the backyard of a house.

When he arrived at his destination, he found a small garden carefully manicured. He began searching the garden for his next clue. Under a tall oak tree, he noticed a shimmering gem. 707

He approached the gem and found that it was a fine ruby ​​with the letter "R" engraved on it. He took out his cell phone and looked for clues related to rubies.

Qi Lin decided to go to this jewelry store to investigate. There are all kinds of jewelry displayed in the store, shining with dazzling light. He found the salesperson behind the counter and asked her about the ruby ​​ring.

"Hello, I am Detective Qi Lin. I am interested in this ruby. How was it obtained?"

The salesman looked at the ruby ​​in Qi Lin's hand and showed a puzzled expression. "This ring is a recent acquisition for us. We bought it from an anonymous customer who said the ruby ​​was very special and wanted us to make it into a one-of-a-kind ring."

Qi Lin thought about this clue. The correlation between the letter "R" left behind by the ghost thief and this ruby ​​cannot be ignored.

"Can you provide more information about the seller? I need to find him as soon as possible." Qi Lin asked.

The salesman thought for a moment and said, "Sorry, the seller transacted through an intermediary. I only know that he is a wealthy and mysterious collector. We have not had direct contact with him.

Qi Lin felt a little disappointed, but he decided to continue following this clue. He asked the salesperson for the intermediary's contact information and quickly made a call.

He explained his identity and the purpose of the investigation to the agent, hoping to obtain more information related to rubies.

"Hello, I am Detective Qi Lin. I am interested in a ruby ​​ring. I heard that you are the seller's agent. I would like to know more information about this ruby ​​and the seller's contact information."

A deep and low voice came from the other end of the phone, "I'm sorry, I can't reveal any information about the seller. However, I can tell you that this seller is very careful not to have direct contact with customers. He only handles his business through me. thing."

Qi Lin frowned, realizing that this seller was most likely the ghost thief in the case. He must try to get more evidence to lock down the suspect's identity.

"Please tell me, do you know the seller's background or other clues related to him? I need to find him as soon as possible to solve this case." Qi Lin said firmly.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and then there was a slight sigh. "I understand your urgent need, but this seller has remained anonymous. He will completely destroy all information related to the sale after each transaction. 11

Qi Lin felt a little frustrated, but he did not intend to give up. "Excuse me, can you provide any other clues that may be relevant? No matter how small the information is, it is important.
