action

The successful, attractive businesswoman Babs Sprenger, who lives alone in a spacious apartment in Fürth , is found stabbed to death the morning after her birthday . The murder weapon was a sushi knife that was thoroughly cleaned in the dishwasher. Otherwise, the crime scene does not show any traces or indications of the perpetrator.

The police investigations are initially focused on Sprenger's working environment, who worked for the international real estate company Bluevince. Your colleagues and your superior Dr. Franck only have positive things to say about their work and their personality. Details of Sprenger's personal life are not known to anyone; she seems to have kept her private life strictly separate from her professional life. Investigators therefore begin to sift through the private life of Springer, who divorced her husband four years ago and has been single since then. In the process, they come across revealing videos and numerous accounts on dating platforms. However, Springer's last acquaintance, a designer by the name of Barthlevy, was turned off six months ago. In interrogation, he wants nothing to do with the murder.

Shortly afterwards, the case takes a surprising turn. The murder weapon comes from an Asian market near the crime scene, where Springer's colleague Theresa Hein paid for it by card . It turns out that she had a closer relationship with the murdered woman and visited her for her birthday. She brought the sushi knife as a present. Hein constantly confesses to the murder during interrogation. Since Hein has no clear motive for murder, the inspectors Voss and Ringelhahn continue to investigate.

When Sprenger's superior said that she had her piano re-tuned around six months ago, although completely unmusical, they got on the trail of the piano teacher and music student Anton Steiner. He lives with his fellow student Moritz in a shared apartment in the southern part of Nuremberg . In flashbacks Antons is relationship told to Babs Sprenger. This started around six months ago and was recently ended by Sprenger, because she considered Anton Steiner, who was around 15 years younger, to be immature and no longer liked his music. Since the case was also receiving a lot of media attention at the time , Anton's roommate suspected that he might be involved in the murder. When he threatens to go to the police , Anton beats him in the bathroom of the shared apartment.

Only a little later, Anton receives a visit from Inspectors Voss and Ringelhahn, who, during the conversation in Anton's room, suspect nothing of his seriously injured roommate in the bathroom. When they are informed of the interrogation on the way back that Anton thanked his parents for everything and said goodbye to them, they immediately turn around. By the time Commissioners Voss and Ringelhahn reappear in Anton's flat share and find his roommate seriously injured, Anton is already on the run across Nuremberg .

When interrogated again, Theresa Hein explains the exact course of events , which in turn is told in flashbacks. According to this, Anton showed up at Sprenger's birthday party and offered her to play his new composition on the piano. Sprenger refused and wanted to throw Anton out of her apartment. However, Hein advised him to start playing, after which a dispute broke out. Anton Babs Sprenger stabbed with a sushi knife. The investigators can find an indication of the whereabouts of the fugitive offender in his pocket calendar . During the piano lessons with his student Stefan Kamann - noted in the calendar with "SK" - Anton is picked up by the SEK and arrested by Voss.

Reviews

“This 'crime scene' is elegantly built and equipped with exquisite music from Bill Evans to Fever Ray . But it bothers in the course of the plot that the woman who keeps her distance in the center of the action is always kept at a distance from the audience. We are introduced to her in flashbacks, but not really smart about her. "

“In terms of tension, 'The night is yours' is not quite as stunning as the previous episode ' A day like everyone else ' from last February, but this is ultimately not a thriller, but a philosophy about the possibility and impossibility of living together. Inspector Voss falls in love with the woman who sells honey at the weekly market, they arrange to meet at the cinema. Love is here: anticipation, so the most uncomplicated variety. Love can also be: something that can be cut again with a few clicks on the Internet. "
