They make a big deal that Willis
makes note of the bad guys' license number, notices his gloves and watch, etc.
None of it ever comes into play.
These guys don't know about Chekhov's gun?
Yeah the scene when he gathers everyone in the parlour and smokes a pipe, explaining how he deduced who the killer was by his gloves and watch, was cut out of the final film because audiences found it too thrilling.
