This is the most plausible explanation given that bullets are commonly fired from guns and can cause severe injuries or fatalities when they hit a person's head. The other options - one bomb, one bullet from a knife, and a spoon - are unlikely scenarios as bombs and spoons are not typically used to cause gunshot wounds, and bullets from knives do not exist.Rate this question:

Miss Marple is a detective character created by Agatha Christie, but she is not Belgian. Sherlock Holmes is a famous detective, but he is not Belgian either. Columbo is also a detective character, but he is not Belgian and not as well-known as Hercule Poirot.Rate this question:
