A detective is visiting a friend in a block of flats.
As he's walking down the hallway, he hears a woman cry out from one of the rooms at the end of the hall.
"For God's sake, John," the woman screams, "Don't shoot me!"
Immediately afterward, he hears a gunshot.
The detective rushes down the hall and busts down the door to the room.
Inside, he finds a woman lying dead in the middle of the floor with a gun lying next to her.
In one corner of the room stands an accountant, in another corner stands an architect, and in another corner stands a postman.
After a quick survey of the scene, the detective goes over to the postman and arrests him for shooting the woman.
How did the hotel detective know right away that it was the postman who had committed the murder?
