Sophie noticed that everyone's eyes were on her. She furrowed her brow and asked, "Remember that ledger we talked about?" "Yeah, of course."

"Other than the usual stuff, it was just filled with numbers."

Sophie mused, "If those four ledgers are actually a treasure map, could those numbers be geographical coordinates?"

Jenna chimed in, "So many coordinates, though. Seems kinda far-fetched."

Colby, with a serious look, replied, "It's possible."

Adler was curious, "What makes you say that?"

Colby explained, "Latitude 31° North, Longitude 120° East is a key point for Devonport, but Devonport has its own specific coordinates too."

Sophie added, "Devonport sits between Longitude 120°52′ and 122°12′ East, and Latitude 30°40′ and 31°53' North. Don't those numbers, 120 and 30, ring a bell?"

Jenna clapped her hands, "Those numbers popped up in the ledger all the time, and they were even highlighted in red!"

"What if they point to locations centered around Devonport's downtown?"
