The writer uses **dramatic irony** to create an effect. The reader is aware that the detective is speaking to a criminal, which creates tension and anticipation because the detective does not yet know the true identity of the person he is conversing with. This contrast between the detective's knowledge and the criminal's deception heightens the suspense in the narrative.
