action

Christina Wengler flees with her seven-year-old daughter from her violent husband from Munich to Halle, where she comes from. She puts the child in with her friend Katrin Sander for the first night, but the next morning Christina Wengler is found dead. Although she fell from the seventh floor of a house, the forensic scientist discovered a targeted blow on the back of the head, so that it could not have been suicide. A pistol is found in the car and the business card of the Halle freight forwarder Langgut . There the inspectors learn that Lutz Langgut is an old school friend, as well as Katrin Sander and her friend Rolf Gehrke, who are currently looking after Christina's daughter Charlotte. They all wanted to help Christina gain a foothold in Halle and break free from her marriage.

Since Peter Wengler is informed in Munich, he appears immediately to pick up his daughter. He claims to have loved his wife and does not initially respond to the mistreatment of his wife found by the forensic doctor. However, a fax from Munich confirms a complaint against Christina Wengler for assault against her husband. He is therefore suspected of having killed his wife. According to Schmücke's research, she had also invested some money in stocks to put it aside for herself.

Schneider finds out that Rolf Gehrke, who rented the apartment for Christina Wengler, has a criminal record and was with Christina eight years ago. Shortly after a conversation with the man who is currently working as a taxi driver, Schneider sees Gehrke attacking a man who had obviously been watching him. He finds out that this is Hannes Reitberger, who works as a private detective and monitored his wife and her surroundings on behalf of Peter Wengler. When she moved to Halle, Christina took 200,000 euros and valuable furniture with her that Wengler wanted back. All of this burdens Peter Wengler more and more, but Schmücke cannot find any evidence that the one from which his wife fell down was in the apartment. On the other hand, there is growing evidence against Rolf Gehrke, who, according to him, is the biological father of Charlotte and who has hidden Christina's furniture. However, Gehrke did not know anything about the cash and immediately buttoned Lutz Langgut and got the money by force, which his friend wanted to keep secretly for himself. He also accuses him of killing Christina for the money, but it was not he, but his girlfriend Katrin Sander who was responsible. She had found out that Gehrke had cheated on her with Christina and now wanted to live with him again in Halle. Angry about it, she had picked up a hammer and slammed it.
