action

Commissioner Bienzle is happy. His Hannelore has decided to move into the new apartment with him. As soon as all of her things are stowed away, the doorbell rings and Bienzel's godmother Gerlinde is at the door. Due to renovation work in her apartment, she fled and asks him for "asylum". In passing, she mentions that she had just seen a man lying down in the workshop who looked pretty dead. Bienzle initially thinks his old aunt confused reality with yesterday's TV program, but when he looks, there is actually the body of Mike Kuron, a roommate in the apartment building.

After seeing the traces, Kuron was apparently slain in a dispute. Bienzle knows that the murder victim drove motorcycle races and that this costly hobby was often a topic of marital disputes among his neighbors. The father-in-law Kurt Wetzel, who also lives in the house, recently even offered his son-in-law money if he would leave his daughter so that she could finally relax.

Bienzle is certain that it is an act of relationship within the family. In addition to Susanne Kuron, her brother-in-law Christian was also in the house and, in principle, everyone gives each other an alibi. Gächter researches and immediately finds the information that Christian Kuron has just been released from prison and is violent. However, Bienzle does not consider him capable of murdering his own brother. After he questions him again and indicates that he is highly suspect, he reveals to the inspector where his sister-in-law hid the weapon. Securing the fingerprints actually leads to Susanne Kuron, who must have had the Englishman in her hand. When Bienzle tries to arrest her, her father confesses that he killed his son-in-law. Because of his illness, the seriously cancerous man has no problem standing up for what he has done if he can help his daughter with it. Kurt Wetzel also takes responsibility for the manipulated brake line, due to which Christian Kuron has now had a fatal motorcycle accident. He was of the opinion that neither one of the brothers was any good and feared that Christian Kuron would "nestle" with his daughter.
