I just completed these last night.
1) Get the quest item from Otopo
2) Go to the Ul'dah inn and select the bed, then select exit
3) Wait at least one earth hour, no shorter
4) Log in, after a while of blackness a cut-scene should start
5) Next go to the Gridania inn, select the bed, and select exit for at least an hour again
6) Repeat for Limsa
After Limsa you will need to ride out to hunt them down. Note that the scenes should trigger any time you spent more than an hour sleeping in the inn, so you do not have to rush to complete this quest. Take your time and play as normal.
Only thing is, I still have the non-tradeable notice and have no idea what to do with it.
To trigger these quests, players must first obtain a Gauwyn the Gannet Wanted Notice from Otopa Pottopa, who can be found on the Merchant Strip (6,4) in Ul’dah. Otopa Pottopa will only give notices to those who have already completed each of the following three quests:
The Ink Thief (Limsa Lominsa), Waste Not Want Not (Gridania), Ring of Deceit (Ul’dah)
Once the item has been obtained, players will then need to log out from their own room at one of the aforementioned inns, and log back in after a certain amount of time has passed.
* Players who accidentally dispose of the wanted notice may obtain another by speaking again with Otopa Pottopa.
* The wanted notice is a quest item only used to trigger The Usual Suspects, In Plain Sight, and Private Eyes, and will not be used for any other purpose.
* Please note this quest will not trigger should the maximum number of quests already be underway, even when the necessary conditions are fulfilled.
I got it every morning after 6+ hours of sleepfor all 3

I have all the conditions met for the quest.
After reading a few replies it seems you need to rinse and repeat and sleep-exit in ALL three inns to get the quest, not just "at one of the aforementioned inns".
I will try staying at the other two and see what happens.

I also went to all cities and tried numerous times and nothing, but I think I figured out my problem. I have been going into the INN and using exit game from the menu. Today, I clicked on the bed and selected return to character screen, and it says "Logging out" and after a few hours when I logged back in, I got the cut scene.
Incidentally, maybe that means you could log out and log in as another user while you wait.
You have to go and sleep in all three inns, by select "exit game" at the bed, not by the door.
The final sequence is outside of LL where you end up "getting" into a fight, and the guy gets arrested. End of quest. The item stays in your inventory.

I have yet to get CS when logging in-have logged out for 1 hour and as much as 9 hours - i have item in inventory and sit in bed and log out--getting very frustrated
