This might be a double definition.

'guess' is the first definition.
(I know that suspect is a type of guess)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for suspect that I've seen before include "Doubt; mistrust" , "Imagine to be true" , "person in the dock" , "One is believed to be guilty but without proof" , "Questionable" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
