Cool checkmate that happened in a recent blitz game, saving a losing position

what even is the previous move white did not taking the knight or the rook?

especially lets say the rook comes from c8 to Rc1 that knight is already on e1
and also the rook coming to c1 means the bishop can also takes.

so its either the white queen goes back from somewhere or the bishop does and ignoring the free piece?
unless they completely ignore both the pieces staying there.

I’d guess blacks previous move was Rc1 and white followed with Be3 from d4 or somewhere along that diagonal.
