OK, the problem is are the clubs 4-0, E is 8220 with the last card in hearts or clubs.

 

If he's 8221 it's relatively simple, if he's 8320 it isn't because of the blockage in the clubs.

 

So ruff a spade, ruff a heart (E's remaining trump is smaller than the 5), ruff a spade, draw the last trump and observe whether E followed to the heart.

 

If he didn't you can cash out, if he did, run 10 come back to hand with the Q and hook against 9
