One per row and per column
No two people can share a row or a column, just like in a sudoku. And nobody stands on a square taken up by furniture: those squares are shaded and out of play.
Each card says where they were
Every suspect signs a card saying where they were: in a room, next to an object, in a row, or beside someone else. What they say is true — except in cases with a liar, and those are flagged at the top. “Next to” means the adjacent square and in the same room: walls cut, even where the squares touch.
Alone with the thief
Place everyone, the thief included. When the plan is full, look at the thief's room: whoever is in there with them catches the thief and is the hero. There is always exactly one.
Pencil and eraser
Pencil in the letters and cross out whatever is no longer possible.
