Crossword Genius

See ordinary detective with younger relative (3,4,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lay eyes on

'see' is the definition.
(I know that lay eyes on is a more specific form of the action see)

'ordinary detective with younger relative' is the wordplay.
'ordinary' becomes 'lay' (I've seen this in another clue).
'detective' becomes 'eye' (as in a private eye).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'younger relative' becomes 'son'.
'lay'+'eye'+'son'='LAY EYES ON'

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
