Soldier looks at detectives (7,4)
I believe the answer is:
private eyes
'detectives' is the definition.
(a private eye is a private investigator)
'soldier looks' is the wordplay.
'soldier' becomes 'private' (private is a type of soldier).
'looks' becomes 'eyes' (eyeing is a kind of looking).
'private'+'eyes'='PRIVATE EYES'
'at' acts as a link.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
