Keyes Blames the Wrong Man, Explained：hang on to your hat
Lola insists that Zachetti and Phyllis killed her father together, and that she has been following him. Later, Keyes tells Walter the case has 'busted wide open' because the accomplice has surfaced — and it is Zachetti. Walter's relief is the whole point: the wrong man is being blamed.
あらすじ

What's really going on
The irony here is total. Lola is right that a man helped Phyllis, but she has named the wrong one: Zachetti was only Phyllis's lover, not her partner in murder. Keyes, the great investigator, makes the same mistake, and his confidence is what Walter has been dreading and hoping for at once. 'That Dietrichson case just busted wide open,' Keyes announces, sure that Phyllis 'filed suit against us' and that he will 'tear them to pieces' in court. Walter, who committed the crime, walks away free — and only wonders whether Keyes has been playing with him: 'Maybe you knew all along I was the somebody else.' The wrong man is charged, and the guilty one keeps his secret a little longer.
Theme
DeceptionThe real killer escapes suspicion because Keyes fixes on the wrong accomplice, and bluff and luck keep Walter safe.
GuiltWalter half-hopes Keyes has seen through him, then walks away relieved that the wrong man is blamed.

このシーンについての質問
Why does Lola suspect Zachetti?
She has been following him and sees him visiting Phyllis's house night after night. She also remembers that he failed to meet her the night of the murder, claiming he was sick.
Is Zachetti actually guilty?
No. He was Phyllis's lover, not her accomplice. Lola — and later Keyes — assume the man visiting Phyllis must be the killer, but the real partner was Walter.
Why is Walter relieved by Keyes's news?
Keyes has decided that Zachetti is the accomplice, so the investigation has locked onto an innocent man. Walter, the actual killer, is no longer the prime suspect.
What does 'busted wide open' mean here?
It means the case has suddenly broken wide open — a solution seems to have appeared. Keyes uses it when the 'somebody else' seems to surface.
Does Keyes suspect Walter at the end?
Walter asks him directly: 'Maybe you knew all along I was the somebody else.' The film leaves Keyes's answer hanging, but Walter clearly fears he has been played with.
