Lin Shen inherits the old house of her missing uncle, but Su Wan, an antique clock restorer, shows up uninvited - her grandfather and Lin Shen's uncle were once partners, and they also disappeared mysteriously ten years ago.
Pushing open the dusty door, clocks all over the room rang at the same time. The hands of the bronze clock left by my uncle always stopped at 3:07, which was the time when he disappeared. There is no treasure in the safe, only a wooden box with light red fingerprints. The mysterious symbols on the drawing in the box exactly match the pattern of the chime gears left by Grandpa Su Wan.
Every midnight, there are always strange footsteps in the old house, and the clock gears will automatically reorganize into strange numbers. When Lin Shen discovered the faded photos hidden in the base of the clock, the two were shocked to realize that the disappearance of the two elderly people was actually related to family secrets from twenty years ago. Every time the hands jump, the danger gets closer. They must decipher the death code behind time before the clock stops.
This introduction highlights the bond between the two protagonists and the core suspense of the clock, which is in line with the fast-paced style of Tomato Suspense. If you want to adjust the protagonist's profession, add reversal points, or add specific case details, you can tell me at any time.
