One late night, a robbery and murder case occurred on the road outside the swimming pool, which happened to be witnessed by the diving coach.

This coach is a retired diving athlete. He claimed that the crime scene was about 50 meters away from the balcony of his accommodation room. At that time, he happened to be standing on the balcony and saw that the perpetrator was a young man with a short hair. Under the moonlight, he could see a scar on the right eyelid of the young man.

Subsequently, a young man named William with similar traits near the swimming pool was summoned for questioning. During a secret search of his home, the police found a large spring knife that matched the victim's wound. However, William adamantly denied committing the crime.

After a lengthy investigation, the investigators re-examined the coach's testimony and finally realized the truth: the coach was the real culprit.

What suspicious points did the investigators find about the coach?
