Character Is One of N in Group
A named character is a Suspect (or Innocent), and their group — a row, column, or neighborhood — contains exactly N characters with that status. The clue combines two facts: (1) the named character definitely has the stated status, and (2) the group's total count is exactly N. That means N − 1 other characters in the same group also share that status. Use the confirmed character's status first, then apply the exact-count constraint to determine the remaining unknowns. Important: the anchor card carrying this clue is a third-party observer — it is not the named character.
