action

The former head of the Munich homicide squad, Ludwig Schaller, is appointed head of a new team. This is to inform the relatives and the press that a police case has been closed and the investigation has been discontinued. Schaller is not very enthusiastic about this, especially since as an employee he has two very questionable candidates at his side. Chief Inspector Harald Neuhauser is known as a very daring policeman who, however, repeatedly causes problems in the private sphere that do not shed a good light on the police. Therefore he is "deported" to this new department. His young colleague Angelika Flierl is a freshly trained commissioner and niece of the police chief. She still needs some practical experience and should get that in this new team.

Their first case leads Neuhauser and Flierl to a small community near Munich. Here they are supposed to teach Laura Lancelotti that the investigation into the alleged death of her husband will be closed. The local police regard this woman as a troublemaker because she firmly claims that her husband was murdered. But all the indications speak against this thesis.

The investigators feel sorry for the woman in their desperation, so they stay on the case and first contact the local police station. Based on the cell phone contacts checked, one is certain here that Fabian Lancelotti has “fled” to Italy. Nevertheless, Neuhauser and Flierl found some inconsistencies in the statements of the police. To find out the truth, Angelika Flierl mingles with the village police officers who meet regularly in their local pub at the end of the day. So she learns that they are convinced that Fabian Lancelotti has gotten involved with the Italian mafia. He would have driven a brand new Jaguar , would have bought a “monster” from home and “if such a thing” suddenly disappears, it could only have to do with the Mafia. Team boss Schaller can find out from an imprisoned mafia boss that a Lancelotti would not work for his organization. Neuhauser and Flierl are trying to completely reconstruct the disappearance of Fabian Lancelotti. According to Neuhauser's theory, the wanted man may have been murdered in the village. As a “newcomer” he did not have a good standing here, but there is still no real motive. When Schaller wants to speak to Laura Lancelotti about this, she is found dead in the bathtub. The local police blame Neuhauser and Flierl for driving the woman to her death with their questions. Schaller sees it differently and wants to solve the case before the actual crime department begins to investigate. Based on the statements of Laura Lancelotti, they reconstruct the day of her husband's disappearance. In doing so, they discover that Lancelotti wanted to sell his expensive car because his lifestyle caused him to run into financial difficulties. So they set their sights on the local car dealer Toni Bernlocher. When questioned, he suddenly began to attack the officers and seriously injured Neuhauser. While Flierl immediately takes him to a clinic, the alerted police officers from the village arrive. They shoot immediately and Toni Bernlocher is fatally hit.

Ultimately, it turns out that Toni Bernlocher had suffered from his successful brother all his life. When Lancelotti offered him his Jaguar for sale, he really wanted it. Knowing that he could not even pay for this expensive model, he planned to kill the owner. After the fact, however, the whole thing grew over his head and he panicked. He asked his brother Gustav Bernlocher to help him. He disposed of the corpse and car through his organic farm, so that it could never be found. Only non-rotting car parts can be detected by the police in the composting plant.
