action
The well-known dealer Marc Solms is found dead in the rooms of the singer Daniel Cross. Daniel Cross himself is discovered next to the corpse with a knife in hand and arrested by the inspectors Schmücke and Schneider . He is silent about the events and his manager Peter Flemming vehemently defends the innocence of his protégé. He describes the young artist as much too sensitive to commit such an act. For Schmücke, the traces point too clearly to Cross as the perpetrator, so he doesn't want to commit himself too quickly and investigates in all directions. Unexpectedly, Schmücke meets his sister Gabriele, whom he has not seen for years. She asks him to prove Daniel's innocence that he is her son.
A customer file can be found in the dead man's apartment. Daniel Cross is not among them, however, which can also mean that someone removed his address in order to relieve him. For Schmücke and Schneider, Daniel shows clear withdrawal symptoms and they are sure that Daniel was also a customer of Solms. Schmuckes sister can no longer watch her son torment himself in custody. Without further ado, she confesses that she killed Solms. Since this sounds quite believable, she is taken into police custody. Schneider urges his colleagues to hand over the case because of bias, but Schmücke wants to continue investigating.
Peter Flemming claims to have seen a stranger in front of Daniel's cloakroom. The search for him leads to Philipp Bender, who had often driven Solms and was also near the concert hall. His statement exonerates Gabriele Cross and draws the investigators' attention to Daniel's manager. In the end, he admits to stabbing Solms so that he could no longer supply his protégé with drugs. He just wanted to talk to him, but Solms threatened to publicize Daniel's addiction and he couldn't allow that.
