Sight

One of my roles as a police officer is to carry out surveillance on criminal activity. Fortunately, I have perfect eyesight and excellent powers of observation. As part of the investigation into Lou Green’s case, I was sent to keep watch on his house. I parked nearby and sat unobtrusively in the passenger seat, wearing a disguise so that if Green walked by and glanced at me, he wouldn’t recognize me.

At 22:30, Green drove up to the front door and quickly disappeared inside. I was sure he hadn’t noticed my car or spotted anything unusual. I could just make out his movements through the curtains. At 22:55, he stared out of the window, clearly on the lookout for someone. Suddenly, a taxi arrived, and Green moved out of sight. I caught a glimpse of his visitor entering the house, with what looked like a violin case…
