A Photo Unveils a Clue

Steven’s eyes locked onto a black-and-white photo of an old man inside the silent shop. The man was a stranger, but the watch on his wrist was unmistakably familiar—the twin of the watch he had unearthed in his backyard. The first jeweler had drawn a blank, yet here was proof, worn by the man in the photograph.

Excited, Steven snapped a picture of the photo for evidence. He called out, hoping for someone to explain, but the shop remained silent. With no one around to ask, he left, armed with new evidence and more questions. However, the quest for the watch’s worth was interrupted by an unexpected call.
