Coordinate note: R1 means row 1, C1 means column 1, and R1C1 is the upper-left cell. These hints are the official English text.
Because (B) was on the bed but cannot be in the first column since (A) occupies that column, (B) must be in R3C2.(C) must be in R2C3, the last square where she can be beside a plant without being in the first column. Then (D) must be in R7C4, the last carpet square.Per (F)'s clue, someone in his room was in a water puddle. Since R5C6 is the last water puddle, someone must occupy that square. Cross out all intersecting squares.There is now only one square left in C1, which (A) must occupy, so (A) is in R4C1.Since (F) has to be in the same room as the person on the water puddle, (F) must be in R1C7.Because (E) has to be beside a shelf, she must be in R5C6, on the water puddle. The final remaining square, R6C5, goes to (V), which means (D) is the murderer.
