The Christmas Express

The Christmas Express left for the city with carols in every carriage. Past the viaduct, a diamond dealer was found dead, and the train had not stopped.

New clue: Above, below, left, right. “Somewhere above Uma” means in a higher row than Uma, any distance away and in any column.

The victim: a diamond dealer. Took the last square, alone with the murderer.

Biscuit’s hints

How to play
  1. One person per row and one per column, the victim included.
  2. People stand only on open squares (the map key shows which). Anything else blocks the square.
  3. Every clue is true.
  4. The victim took the last square: the row and column left over.
  5. Exactly one suspect was in the victim’s room, and that suspect did it.
