action

A wheelchair user becomes an ear witness of a pistol shot and then notifies the police. The questioning of the 315 (!) Residents of the house gives no clue as to where the shot could have come from, although Inspector Rene Schlosser himself lives in the huge apartment building. Ultimately, Schlosser thinks that a balloon might just have burst somewhere.

But body parts are soon found, so that a murder must actually have occurred. Inspector Robert Grosche routinely has all gun owners identified who live in the apartment building, so Schlosser's gun also has to be checked. The body parts found can now be assigned to the petty criminal Marquardt. Grosche questions his acquaintances and learns that the victim has actually been in the apartment building lately. This puts the gun-owning tenants in the focus of the investigators. A closer questioning reveals that her colleague Schlosser recently had a loud argument with the tenant Kahl. This contradicts Schlosser's statement that he lives in this big house precisely because nobody would know him and he could remain anonymous. When Grosche and Reeding speak to their colleague about it, he overrides and takes a leave of absence from work. Especially since he was a witness against Marquardt years ago. But he is not idle, but goes from door to door Schellekloppe with a photo of Marquardt to find out who might know him in the house. This is how he discovered that Marquardt had a relationship with Regina Kahl and had also exploited it financially. Her husband found out, got rid of his rival and got him out of the house in "small pieces".
