Murder in the kitchen

Mrs Smith listened to a noise that was coming from the bathroom. She went to investigate that it happened but only it was her, cat that accidentally had thrown a perfume that existed there.
She returned to the kitchen and while she was preparing the food returned to listen to another noise, a metallic sound, but the cat was in the kitchen with her.
And nothing any more to be turned realized that she had left the window of the opened kitchen ... and an air blast had thrown a knife that existed on the table. XD
