It is the eleventh case for Commissioners Ivo Batic and Franz Leitmayr to investigate.

action

Carola Schmitz is stabbed to death by an unknown person in the laundry room of a Munich apartment building. The inspectors Ivo Batic and Franz Leitmayr investigate the murder and learn from the residents of the apartment building that the eccentric Kai Herman is certainly the killer. He is an engineer and is currently working on a groundbreaking invention that he hopes will earn him millions once it is patented . After bitumen residues were found on the murder weapon, this corroborated the suspicion against Herman, because his invention should be used in the field of road construction. When the investigators approach Herman about it, he thinks it is a plot by the construction company, which wants to cheat him out of his patent in this way . Leitmayr thinks this is quite possible and thinks there are some that speak for it.

In the course of the investigation, there are also suspicions against driver, the fiancé of the victim. Carola Schmitz had inherited a house in the former GDR that she sold, and the remaining 100,000 marks have disappeared. Driver denies having known about the money and again accuses Herman. In his opinion, his fiancée had a relationship with Herman and gave him the money for his developments.

Herman's idea of ​​a conspiracy theory directed against him turns into a real paranoia . His aggressiveness grows and the fear of losing his patent makes him unpredictable. After Herman's apartment was broken into and his computer and floppy disks were destroyed, he went nuts. Batic and Leitmayr fear that the engineer may become a ticking time bomb and even endanger himself. But they don't have enough evidence to pull him out of circulation. In addition, the suspicion against drivers is confirmed. Batic and Leitmayr arrest the suspect on the basis of traces of bitumen found in Driver's garage, which, according to a forensic investigation, are identical to those on the murder weapon. He admits that the money was urgently needed and that he killed his fiancée in an argument about it.

Meanwhile, Herman is running amok. Apparently he wants to hold his boss Fischer accountable and penetrates his office building with gun violence. Leitmayr tries to prevent the catastrophe by talking to Herman, but in the end he has to shoot and hits Herman fatally.
