Detective Logic

Old Mr.Rakesh was found dead in his bedroom by young Manish.
Manish recounted his dismal discovery to Detective FBI detective Donald, who happens to be around the scene.

'I was walking by Mr. Rakesh's house when I thought I would just pop in for a visit. I noticed his study light was on and I decided to peek in from the outside to see if he was in there. There was frost on the window, so I had to wipe it away to see inside. That is when I saw his body. So I kicked in the front door to confirm my suspicions of foul play. I called the police immediately afterwards.'

With a clue from Detective FBI Detective Donald, the police officer immediately arrested Manish for the murder of Mr Rakesh. How did he know Manish was lying?

These types of puzzles are known as charades. What you have to do is find two words that are referred to in the first stanza and the second stanza and put them together to form the third word in the third stanza.

Just for example, if my first refers to 'off' and my second refers to 'ice', then my whole will be office.

My first is present - future's past -
A time in which your lot is cast.

My second is my first of space
Defining people's present place.

My whole describes a lack of site -
A place without length, breadth, or height.
