What made Ray think the visitor was not really a shopper?
Advertisements
Solution
Ray saw two men, one in his twenties, the other closer to fifty, enter his shop. The younger one remained at the door. The older man approached the counter with no sign of friendliness in his eyes. On paying attention, Ray noticed the shape of a gun and a restless hand in the man’s right coat pocket. This made Ray think that the visitor was not really a shopper.
