action
The Sicilian Luigi Ricci is brought to the airport in Stuttgart by his girlfriend, Marlene Mergenthaler, because he has to go to Toronto for three months. Shortly after saying goodbye to him, Ricci is shot dead from close range by a stranger. The inspectors Bienzle and Gächter are called and start the investigation.
Forensic doctor Dr. Kocher discovered some scarring on the victim, which was caused by gunshot wounds and knife wounds. The fact that Ricci comes from Palermo and wanted to leave Germany with a forged passport suggests a Mafia background. Gächter gets in touch with his Italian colleagues and learns that the Ricci family is one of the most notorious Mafia families in Sicily.
Bienzle follows up on Marlene Mergenthaler. She testifies that Ricci received a phone call and shortly afterwards sank to the ground. She herself drove away frightened. However, no cell phone was found by forensics, which could provide information about the caller. Marlene's parents did not like the relationship with Luigi Ricci. Arnold Mergenthaler hoped to have the managing director of his dairy, Simon Groß, as a son-in-law. This would also have a motive to get his rival out of the way. For fear of the police, Simon Groß tries to escape and is then taken into police custody. But even Luise Mergenthaler did not enjoy her daughter's new friend. After Ricci can find his phone number and Bienzle checks the last call, it actually leads him to Marlene's mother. She had feared that her daughter might leave the country with Ricci and under no circumstances wanted to let her go. This exaggerated motherly love and the fear of "losing" her child forever drove her to ambush Ricci at the airport and shoot him with a pistol from her husband's gun cabinet.

criticism
Rainer Tittelbach from tittelbach.tv calls the crime scene: “Television from yesterday. A thriller from the construction kit. ”“ Dramaturgically, 'Derrick' said hello! All suspects were stupidly targeted one after the other until there was only one left in the end. Crime as a guessing game. However, it wasn't even exciting. "
The critics of the television magazine TV Spielfilm consider this crime scene to be quite boring and say: "Pizza Lango Weilo with an extra portion of cheese."
