action

The bodies of Julia Bammer and Felix Nowak lie on a bathing pond. The young lovers were shot and framed with a circle of rose petals. The murder brings back memories of a similar case ten years ago in Commissioner Benno Berghammer. At that time the mentally retarded Lois Flicker was convicted. He is now free again because the President of the Court, Dr. Back then, Berthold Schwaninger had advocated a mild sentence for the murderer of his son's girlfriend. As a well-known tensioner, Flicker is again one of the suspects, but also Tom Reif, Julia's former lover, who claims to have been to a disco all evening.

In the course of the investigation, Berghammer pulls out the old files again and discovers that important evidence was withheld. His predecessor, Commissioner Kilian, hands him a bag of hair that was found in the hand of one of the victims at the time. Kilian kept the hair at home as reinsurance; but now he is ill and does not have much longer to live, which is why he is no longer afraid of possible consequences. Court President Schwaninger paved the way to Kilian's early retirement and demanded that he remove his hair.

Tom Reif's alibi turns out to be false; he wasn't in the disco all the time. In addition, his father's sport pistol has disappeared.

Inspector Sabrina Lorenz gets Julia Bammer's diary and finds that the girl called all friends by their first names, only a certain H. W., who she believes is in love with her, has shortened her. The inspectors learn from Julia's best friend Birgit Hauser that this is the tutor Hans Weickl. She doesn't think he was in love with Julia; he felt uncomfortable when he was alone with Julia for even a short time.

It turns out that Hans Weickl had an accident five years ago and had to spend several weeks in the hospital. His opponent in the accident was Dr. Horst Bammer, Julia's father. According to his statement, Weickl met him on the wrong side of the street on his bike at night; he saw him too late and that's how it happened. Weickl had fought his way through all instances for years, but he was given partial guilt everywhere, most recently three months ago. As far as he knew, the doctors had got him back on track. Marianne Kornmann, Hans Weickl's ex-fiancée, however, says the accident destroyed his career as a ski racer and with it his life. He had completely isolated himself; in the end she parted with him so as not to break from it herself.

Public Prosecutor Dr. Zirner is not satisfied with the progress of the investigation. She has Lois Flicker in her sights because the current case and the double homicide ten years ago have undeniable parallels. Zirner quickly takes over the questioning himself and even receives a confession.

When it turns out that the hair that was torn out from the lovers' murder ten years ago did not come from Lois Flicker, Commissioner Berghammer puts Franz Hauswirth, a former school friend of Roland Schwaninger, the son of the court president, under such pressure that he buckles and admits, the young Schwaninger to have given a false alibi. A genetic analysis is then ordered. Judge Schwaninger advises his son to refuse to testify, but the latter no longer wants to be patronized and confesses to having shot his girlfriend and her lover out of jealousy. He explains that the murder weapon could never be identified by the fact that his father's hunting rifle has an interchangeable barrel .

Tom Reif's father's sport pistol is found in the bathing pond where the murders took place; it is clearly the murder weapon, but Tom Reif still denies everything. Finally, it turns out that Tom's brother receives tutoring from Hans Weickl, sometimes at home. On one of these occasions the teacher must have taken the weapon with him.

Marianne Kornmann confirms the inspectors' suspicion that Hans Weickl lost his manhood in the accident and that this was the real reason for the separation. You go to the tutor and accuse him of contacting Dr. To have avenged Bammer. When Weickl persistently denies the act, Benno Berghammer reaches into his bag of tricks and claims that a neighbor drove away on the bike on the night in question and only saw him come back hours later. He denies this too, but when Sabrina Lorenz assures him that they will definitely find a trace of him, he gives in. All these years he waited for the moment when Bammer suffered so much and would never be happy again.
