Coordinate note: R1 means row 1, C1 means column 1, and R1C1 is the upper-left cell. These hints are the official English text.
(C) and the man cannot occupy the bed in the Safe Room or together they would be in R8 and R9, blocking (E) in the bottom row completely. The man on the bed must then occupy the bed in R5. Cross out all other squares in R5.(H) has to be in R6C2 since that's the last available square in the Bathroom. This means (C) must occupy R7C5 to be in the same room as the man in the bed.Because (B) is in the Bedroom, he must be the man on the bed, in R5C6. This leaves one square left for (F) to be beside the TV, so (F) is in R2C7.Focusing on (D), because her clue states that someone else was beside a shelf in her area, we can deduce that (D) is in R8C1 in the Safe Room, which is the only area left that can fit her and someone else to be beside the bookshelf. This means the person beside the bookshelf in the Safe Room in (D) must occupy R9C3. We know this person must be (E) since she is in the bottom row.(G) will occupy R4C4 since that's the last chair. Because (A) cannot be beside a box, he must be in R1C9.This leaves the last square R3C8 for (V) – hence (A) is the murderer.
