Since he had immunity, the cops have no idea what the original story he told was.
He very likely gave a story to get immunity, but I'm sure there was a gag order on it.
That means that when "Virgil" gave his new story, he had no reason to fear that they would call him on it. If they knew what the original story was before he told them, they wouldn't have needed him to tell them.
He knew they would figure it out, which is why he beat such a quick path out of there. I don't imagine he expected them to get it so quickly, but he knew that when the two stories didn't match up, he would be found out.
