action
The owner of an apartment building is in the restaurant "Kleine Philharmonie" in Dresden in the evening and insists that the innkeeper set the clock back 5 minutes, because it is supposedly going ahead. Meanwhile, the Ingholm family is having dinner when something red suddenly drips from the ceiling into their dinner. Ms. Ingholm calls the police and the officers find the body of tenant Ralf Steiner in the bathtub, which has overflowed. Since the ceiling of the lodge was painted dark red, you had to think that there was blood dripping. The homeowner Vermeier appears and is appalled by the condition of the apartment. He had recently given notice to Steiner because he was an uncomfortable and noisy tenant. Without being asked, he presents an alibi for the time of the crime.
Ehrlicher notes that the door was locked from the inside and the key was inside, which speaks for a classic suicide, later a corresponding suicide note was also found. After the autopsy, the coroner laconically remarks: An alcoholic who dies from an overdose of water. During the investigation, the prescription anesthetic "Laposan 31" was found in the dead man's blood, which in high doses would even have been fatal, after which heart failure would have been found. It is very likely that he took the remedy in the wine, because there was a bottle that was opened on the table. The wrapping paper indicates that he was given it as a gift, because an alcohol addict cannot actually afford such an expensive brand (60 DM). Since all of this doesn't quite fit together, all tenants are interviewed.
Cain appears first at Barbara Rothe, who used to be friends with Steiner. She's not very upset about his death because she said he was the guy who's going to be ruined one day anyway. He worked as a musician in bars until one day he was just drunk. More Ehrlich learns from Rebecca Schwarzkopf (born 1912) that nobody in the house liked him and that somehow “everyone killed him”. Vermeier would have tried to poison her cats before. Ehrlicher found out that the doors of the apartments have locks that can be closed on both sides. So everyone could lock Steiner's apartment and also from the outside with a spare key, even though the key is inside. He also calculates that the sedative takes 40 minutes to take effect, but the tub will fill up in 10 minutes, while the emergency call from Ms. Ingholm came shortly after 9 p.m., which somehow does not fit the timing.
Not much can be learned from Walter Lohr; he is confused and not entirely sane. His daughter Jo is also quite unsuspecting, she repairs cars and Kain finds a little interest in her. Her sister Melanie was last friends with Steiner, they made music together and he wanted to "make it big". Ex-girlfriend Barbara wasn't happy about it, somehow she was still attached to him. Ehrlicher seeks out Vermeier and explains to him that he thinks he is very suspicious. But he protests that he did not kill Steiner. In addition, the landlord confirmed Vermeier's alibi. When Cain was spending a nice evening with Lohr's daughter and she took him home with her, he found the anesthetic Laposan 31 in the bathroom cabinet, which Dr. Ingholm gave to her father for his pain.
When the residents of the house returned from Steiner's funeral, they were greeted more honestly and summed up: Everyone in the house had a motive and wanted to get rid of Steiner. After all, he was at “war” with almost everyone in the house. Dr. Ingholm was annoyed by the loud music and wanted Steiner's apartment. Vermeier wanted to part with the unloved tenant. Melanie Lohr was pregnant by Steiner and her father was never allowed to find out. Steiner's ex-girlfriend was still jealous. Melanie and Walter Lohr had the means. Everyone was interested in getting Steiner out of the way, and everyone is to blame for it, but ultimately only one thing did it: Jo, who could no longer watch her sister "throw herself away". So she injected the agent into the bottle through the cork and then passed it on to Steiner in a detour. But since the dose was not fatal, she helped and dragged the unconscious Steiner into the bathtub to drown.
