3 - RKC Blackwood
4 - 1 or 4 keycards

You are East on this defensive problem. The opponents reach 6♥ after an uncontested auction. Partner leads the ♠5, declarer captures your queen with the king. A heart is then led to dummy's nine. What should you return after winning this trick with the ♥J to defeat the contract?

Hint:
Declarer should have the missing aces, which means that you are unlikely to take a trick in a side suit.
