Deadly is a German crime film by Thomas Jacob from 1998. It is the 198th episode in the film series Polizeiruf 110 and the 6th case for Schmücke and Schneider .
action
This time, Schmücke and Schneider are investigating Sebastian Pechmann's death. At first, everything looks like the man committed suicide who fell from a church tower and was supposed to carry out minor repairs. A lighter and shoe prints found on the church tower indicate that the man was not alone in the height. Crush marks were also found on the fingers later, which suggests that there was violence.
The commissioners ask the victim's sister about possible enemies. All she can think of is his neighbor Kutzauer, with whom, according to a neighbor, he even fought. However, he has an alibi for the time of the crime, so that he can be excluded as the perpetrator. The next day, Katrin Pechmann appears at the presidium because it occurred to her that her brother had taken out a very high life insurance policy in favor of a Simone Schumacher.
She looks for jewelry and tailors to question her. Allegedly she had been engaged to Pechmann for two months. The woman reacts very nervously to further questions and becomes entangled in contradictions. Schneider is certain that the woman was only after the inheritance because she knew that Pechmann had AIDS . The commissioners do not trust you to do the deed yourself and think of an accomplice. They suspect that in the insurance agent Florian Werner, who says he has a relationship with Simone Schumacher. When it turns out that the lighter found belongs to him and that the footprints match his rubber boots, he is arrested but not detained because the evidence is insufficient. When Werner arrives at home, someone lies in wait for the insurance agent and knocks him down, ultimately causing him to die.
Schmücke and tailors are finding more and more references to Werner's employee Erik Jaskulla, who is an old friend of Simone Schumacher and secretly loves her. In a well thought-out plan, he had laid the traces that burdened his boss. When Schmücke confronts him with his clues, he breaks in and admits to having pushed Sebastian Pechmann from the church tower. The fatal blow to Werner also came from him. He was convinced that he had to “keep everything dirty” from his Simone.
In their research into the murder of Sebastian Pechmann, the commissioners uncover a network of insurance fraudsters who buy life insurance from terminally ill people. Under the guise of helping people to get their money so that they can still benefit from it while they are still alive, they have the policies rewritten and thereby reap a large part of the value for themselves.
