So, in the meantime, I'm just saying what he himself said, according to the evidence we're left with. Whether he was lying or unjustifiably sure of himself I don't know - if he was either of those, that is.
If he wasn't lying (because he was innocent), then the killer had either left the scene before Lechmere could hear him or he left too silently for Lechmere to hear him. Or, as I said, he was unjustifiably sure of himself, while in reality he hadn't paid as much attention to sounds as he thought he had.
If he was lying (because he was guilty), then I'd wonder if it hadn't been better to say that he'd actually heard someone walk away from the scene ahead of him.
