Question

Mind Trap #276 - Murder

Question:

Shadow opened the door to Dr. Adam Apple's office and serveyed the scene. Dr Apple's head lay on his desk surrounded by a pool of blood. On the floor to his right lay a small hand gun. There were powder burns on his right temple indicating that he was shot at close range. On his desk was a suicide note, and his right hand held a pen that had written it. Shadow recorded the time as 3:30pm., and ascertained that death had occured within the past hour. As Shadow was gathering clues, Dr. Apple's wife burst into the office and screamed, "Good lord, my husband's been shot!" She ran towards him, saw the note and cried, "Why would he want to kill himself?"

"This was no suicide," said Shadow, "this was clearly a case of murder." How does he know?

Yes/No question allowed, however not twice in a row.

I believe the answer is:

The pen was in his right hand - after he'd fired the gun from his right hand? Someone must have put it there after.
