action

The building contractor Anton Rambold sells a meadow to Resi Berghammer. For him, the property is practically worthless because there is an outhouse on it - the remnant of a listed building that recently fell victim to the flames. The next morning, Rambold found the body of environmental activist Franziska Bleibtreu there. According to coroner Dr. Robert Sprung, she died of heart failure and was transported to the site after her death. The commissioners Benno Berghammer and Nadine Richter therefore assume a homicide. The autopsy reveals that an overdose of ecstasy was the cause of death. A raven was found in the victim's pocket, who also died of anesthetic.

Franziska Bleibtreu was at war with the techno club owner Sven Hader because, in her opinion, he kills crows en masse with his laser system. In reality he buys the birds from the master hunter Rüdiger Moormann, who first kills them with an anesthetic. According to Hader, many guests only come for the show when Ms. Bleibtreu is upset about the many dead animals.

As it turns out, Anton Rambold paid for an expensive long-term therapy for the wife of the firefighter Sebastian Kröll. In return, Kröll could have manipulated the alarm system so that the fire brigade would be late to the burning house. However, there is no evidence of this, including arson; the hay that Rambold has stored in the former riding stable has ignited itself. The previous owner, master hunter Moormann, went bankrupt with his horse charity because Franziska Bleibtreu incited several people against him. That's how Rambold got the property next to his office cheaply.

Benno Berghammer and Nadine Richter pay the techno club a visit to make Sven Hader nervous when they find the niece of public prosecutor Dr. Georg Lenz passed out. She has taken too much ecstasy and is being rushed to the hospital.

Rüdiger Moormann is also in the hospital after a murder attempt, committed by Sven Hader. The club owner wanted to kill him because Moormann was asking for more rent when he found out that his shed was producing ecstasy.

Fire brigade commander Fritz Bleibtreu, the son of the murdered, went to the police station and reported that Sebastian Kröll had confided in him and admitted that he had manipulated the alarm system so that Rambold would not get the idea of ​​stopping the payments. But now there was also a confidante, namely his mother, and now she is dead.

Stella Lenz's vomit is examined in the laboratory. It is found that the ecstasy that she consumed is identical to that that led to Franziska Bleibtreu's death. Sven Hader is then arrested for attempted murder of Rüdiger Moormann and for suspected murder of Franziska Bleibtreu. He rejects the murder of Frau Bleibtreu far. At least the inspectors can elicit from him that Fritz Bleibtreu is one of his ecstasy customers.

Thereupon Benno Berghammer takes the fire brigade commander into the mangle. It turns out that Fritz Bleibtreu let his mother die out of fear for his reputation. She illegally used his police car and on the side ate all the cans of pills she thought were candy. She called him and asked for help, but instead of calling the ambulance, he waited for her to die. Then he put her where she had the last date according to the appointment calendar.

Resi Berghammer is holding a barbecue party on the meadow that she bought from Anton Rambold. When her son Benno joins them and sees that the listed outhouse has disappeared, he fears that his mother has torched it. But she can reassure him: It was dismantled and is to be exhibited in the local history museum after careful restoration. She wants to sell the property back to Rambold - at her price, of course.
