“The Last Order” is a Murdoku case from the Hotel & Restaurant category: a board of 7×7, 6 suspects and one victim. Read the clues, work out where everybody was standing, and name the suspect who was left alone with the body.
The Board
The floor plan as the case hands it to you: 7×7, rated Easy, with 4 rooms. Every person — 7 in all — takes a row and a column of their own.

The Suspects and Their Clues
Each suspect comes with what the witnesses remember. Read them all before placing anyone — a clue about one person is very often what pins down another.
Alex — a man with brown hair, a beard and glasses
He was beside a carpet
Bella — a woman with black hair
She was beside a chair and she was beside a door
Cyrus — a man with a bald head and glasses
He was on a carpet
Dylan — a man with white hair
He was beside a plant
Elsa — a woman with brown hair and glasses
She was on a chair and she was in column 5
Floyd — a man with a bald head
He was in column 7
The victim, Vivian, is a woman. Nothing else about them is known, and no clue depends on it.
How Hard It Really Is
Deduction steps from the first clue to the verdict
Before anything else, count where each suspect could be if you only read their own clues:
Alex: 2 possible tiles
Bella: 3 possible tiles
Cyrus: 5 possible tiles
Dylan: 4 possible tiles
Elsa: a single tile — their own clue settles it
Floyd: 4 possible tiles
That is as far as this page goes. From here on it is yours — the in-game hint giver explains each next step if you get stuck, without giving the answer away.
This case has exactly one solution, and it can be reached by forward deduction alone — no guessing.
