Smell a Rat

Lesson

How come the front door is open? Didn't you close it before we went shopping?

I'm sure I did. I can't understand it.

Frankly, I smell a rat.

Me, too. I'm convinced that something is definitely wrong here.

We'd better call the police.

 

Smell a Rat = (feel that something is wrong)
