Stubbe and the Dead at Loch Neun is a German television film by Christa Mühl from 1998. It is the thirteenth film in the ZDF crime film series Stubbe - Von Fall zu Fall with Wolfgang Stumph in the title role.

action

The real estate agent Ingolf Hey is found dead on a Hamburg golf course. The victim's wife hands Stubbe a death threat, which she discovered in her husband's files. Since the origin of this letter is believed to be in Dresden, Stubbe is allowed to travel to his old home to investigate there. The murdered man had a branch in Dresden, so Stubbe asked the managing director there, Thomas Simon. According to his account, there were supposedly no major problems with the buildings that Hey had renovated, but Stubbe immediately noticed that this was not true. He then learns from the caretaker that there was currently a lot of trouble with the plumber Koppka, who felt he had been betrayed by Hey. Like many others, he had invested in Hey's real estate, which then went wrong. According to his wife, Koppka traveled to Hamburg three days ago. A bigger suspicion falls on Hey's widow, because according to Zimmermann's research, Hey was planning to get a divorce and, according to the marriage contract, Patricia Hey would only be entitled to a fraction of the assets. Patricia Hey, in turn, incriminates Thomas Simon because he is supposedly to blame for the investment ruin in Dresden. But fingerprints on the murder weapon, a golf club, can be assigned to Koppka, so that Koppka is arrested on urgent suspicion in Hamburg. He can explain his fingerprints because he had touched the golf clubs in Simon's office that were intended as a present for Hey. Stubbe, who has meanwhile returned to Hamburg, this seems plausible. Nevertheless, Koppka leaves Hamburg, which makes him suspicious again. Since he has booked a flight to Mallorca, Stubbe flies after him. But Koppka did not want to flee from the police, but rather to prove his innocence. At Hey's vacation home, he attacks Patricia Hey, who he believes killed her husband. In Stubbe's presence, however, she credibly protests her innocence. For the investigator, only Thomas Simon remains as the perpetrator and he actually succeeds in convicting him. He had planned the murder meticulously because he had long been in love with Koppka's wife. With his plan, he wanted Koppka to appear as Hey's murderer so that the woman could be to himself. Simon had to fear that Hey would dismiss him because he attributed the Dresden real estate bankruptcy to him.
