"I believe you," Nora said. "But if you were struck hard enough to pass out, you'd have a gash or a massive bump on your head. The police searched the stairwell for hours and found zero murder weapons."
This meant one of two things: either the attacker barely tapped him and Nolan simply had an incredibly low pain tolerance, or he wasn't hit with a blunt object at all.
"No weapon?" Nolan muttered, reaching up to probe his scalp. "That's impossible. I felt this sharp, explosive pain, my vision went black, and I passed out..."
He patted his head and gasped in surprise. There wasn't even a tiny lump. Nora's suspicion was confirmed.
"Then why did it hurt so badly?" he asked, deeply confused. If he wasn't bludgeoned, why did he drop like a stone?
"Is it possible you were tasered?" Nora explained how high-voltage stun guns caused a sharp, blinding pain right before unconsciousness. Furthermore, using a taser was far quicker and cleaner than risking a messy blunt-force strike.
"Then... they came completely prepared. But who would set me up like this?" He thought back to his bizarre final interaction with Rosalind. "Was it Rosalind? Did she frame me on purpose?"
"We can't confirm that yet," Nora replied. "But the autopsy revealed she was pregnant. The child was yours."
Nolan stared at her. "???"
