Coordinate note: R1 means row 1, C1 means column 1, and R1C1 is the upper-left cell. These hints are the official English text.
Begin by penciling in the possible rows for (A) and (H). (A) must be in R1 on one of the four bed squares, so cross out all other squares that do not apply. Similarly, (H) must be in R8 in the car, so cross out all squares that do not apply.This leaves only one chair for (C), so (C) is in R3C9. Since (E) has to be beside a TV, he must be in R7C2, the last available square beside a TV.Since (F) is in the Hallway, he must be in R2C1, the last Hallway square.Now focus on (D). He has to be on a water puddle, but he cannot be in the Laundry Room because (B) is alone there. Therefore, the only puddle left for (D) is R6C6. This narrows (H) down to R8C7.(B) has to be alone in the Laundry Room, so he is in R5C4. He cannot be on any water puddle because (D) is the only person who can occupy those squares. Cross out the remaining Laundry Room squares. This also narrows (A) down to R1C5.Because (G) has to be beside a wall, he must be in R9C3. He cannot be in R9C8, because that would leave no room for (V). The final remaining square, R4C8, goes to (V), which means (C) is the murderer.
