Coordinate note: R1 means row 1, C1 means column 1, and R1C1 is the upper-left cell. This is a 7×7 grid.
There's only one square beside a shelf, this isolates (B) in R1C2.Who can be the man inside the car per (D)'s clue? (A) is on a water puddle and (B) is already placed, (F) is the only possibility, in the last column. This sets (F) as the man inside the car in R5C7, which sets (D) in C6.Because (D) is in C6, no one else can be in the same column. This isolates (A) in the last water puddle in R6C1. Because (A) is the only person in a water puddle, block R7C6.(B) is in the Newspaper Stall, (F) on the Street and (A) on Sidewalk (South), (C) can only be alone on Sidewalk (North). This isolates (C) in the last square beside a lamppost in that area, R3C4.(C) is alone, this isolates (D) on the Street in R4C6. This isolates (E) in the last square not beside a water puddle, R2C3, then (V) in the last square. (V) was alone with (A), Archer is the murderer!
