Good. [He pauses, before modifying his praise.] Well, slightly better.
[He picks up the cards which have the weapons printed on them and discards the gun, and then the other cards in turn as he describes them.]
As you so astutely deduce, the rope would also leave fibres behind enough to positively identify the murder weapon immediately. The dagger would leave a puncture wound no other weapon would; again, ruling it out. This leaves the candlestick, the lead pipe, and the spanner. All of these would cause death by blunt force trauma and, without an expert detective, the wound pattern may not be immediately determinable; ergo, one of these must be the weapon.
[He doesn't care that this isn't how he's meant to play, and that he hasn't even put a piece on the board, this is fun to him.]
We can probably rule out Mrs. White as a suspect at this point, the requisite strength required to bludgeon a man to death with a blunt object is not usually found in the upper body of a woman of that age.
