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…
