A television film from the Tatort crime series is wrongly packaged . The report produced by the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation (ORF) was broadcast for the first time on March 25, 2012 on ORF, SRF in Erste . For the Viennese Lieutenant Colonel Moritz Eisner ( Harald Krassnitzer ), it is the 28th case and his colleague Bibi Fellner ( Adele Neuhauser ) of the fourth case.
action
A refrigerated container is to be loaded in the Vienna Danube port of Albern . The foreman notices that the cooling unit is not working and has the container opened. The completely thawed cargo washes towards the men and in the middle of the chicken pieces there are three dead Chinese. Moritz Eisner and Bibi Fellner are notified and entrusted with the case. The sender is a "poultry miller", whom the investigators visit immediately. He says he regularly sends chicken feet to China. He couldn't explain the dead Chinese.
Shortly thereafter, a cut hand is found. The investigation reveals that the hand belongs to the young Chinese man Tsao Kang, who was arrested last night for damage to property and registered with the police. When his home was searched, further body parts and the murder weapon, a Jian , were found in the garbage cans in the neighboring houses . Eisner then looks around the restaurant in which Tsao Kang had rioted, and meets with the owner Gú Bao next to Dr. Oskar Welt, the head of the Vienna Aliens Police . Eisner learns from him that Tsao Kang worked at “Geflügel-Müller”.
The forensic doctor found that the three Chinese men were killed by suffocation. In his opinion, they must have come into contact with the gas bromomethane , which is often used on merchant ships for pest control. This suggests that the three wanted to enter illegally and accidentally died in a fumigation.
On the Chinese sword there are fingerprints from "Inkasso-Heinzi" who are kept on record by the police. Since Bibi Fellner knows the petty criminal and brothel owner well, it is unlikely for her that he could cut up a person in such a way. However, he seems to have been connected to Tsao Kang in his dealings, because he is on the run and is therefore being put out to be searched.
During their investigations, Eisner and Fellner discover that both the meat wholesaler Müller and the head of the Aliens Police, Dr. Oskar Welt, are involved in illegal business of the Chinese Mafia . Both are also owners of a real estate company that rents apartments exclusively to foreigners. Welt, as head of the Aliens Police, issues the residence permits and thus secures sufficient tenants.
A review of Tsao Kang's phone calls reveals that he had spoken to Gú Bao several times shortly before his death. However, Gú Bao remains silent when asked about it. Nevertheless, Eisner finds out that she has obtained fake caviar from "Inkasso-Heinzi" . When they were able to arrest Heinzi, he said he had been to Tsao Kang's regular visits, which would explain the fingerprints in his apartment. He would have ordered the caviar through him and then traded with it. Lately he had noticed that Tsao Kang had been very afraid of his backers. Heinzi gives the investigators the address of a sweatshop from which he regularly purchased goods. The immediate search reveals that countless Chinese people are working illegally there and that there are large-scale counterfeiting activities . The building belongs to Müller and Welt and has been rented to Tsao Kang. When they want to confront Müller, he finds himself frozen in one of his cold rooms. Oskar Welt is also found dead shortly afterwards.
Forensics can now prove Gú Bao's fingerprints in Tsao Kang's apartment, where he was also dismembered. As a result, Gú Bao is arrested, but she does not reveal whoever was behind her, and throws herself to her death in the stairwell of the police headquarters. It is clear to Eisner that the three dead Chinese were relatives of Tsao Kang who were supposed to be smuggled in illegally by the Chinese mafia, but were accidentally suffocated with the gas. Out of anger and sadness, Tsao Kang wanted to blow the organization. Thereupon he and all other confidants were killed by the Chinese mafia.

Reviews
Rainer Tittelbach thinks that Wrong Packaged is “staged psychophysically and figure-oriented towards the genre”. “Moritz Eisner and Bibi Fellner, the moralist and the border crosser, are licking their wounds again. After the Serbs, it is now the turn of the Chinese in Vienna. 'Wrong packaging' is pretty bloody, a bit dark, this 'crime scene' which tells of crimes that are a reflex to maximizing profit in the food sector. "
Matthias Hannemann at faz.net writes very critically about this crime scene: “The witty dialogues are the only plus point of this blood-drenched, but otherwise conventionally drawn up Sunday crime series like an American early-evening series. There is no tension. The disgusting topic quickly starts to get on your nerves, the plot is quite transparent. And to make matters worse, this penetrating jazz organ wafts over everything, signaling coolness - as if the wonderful Harald Krassnitzer and Adele Neuhauser, his colleague Bibi Fellner, needed something like that. "
At Spiegel.de , on the other hand, Christian Buß finds that “the Austrian director Sabine Derflinger […] [in this crime scene, a] scavenger hunt pointedly [and] without any trickery in the picture []. Her butcher's thriller is thoroughly casual; Instead of the cheap suspense music of a score programmer, there is earthy blues rock, skilful 'pulp fiction' reminiscences alternate with harmonious visits to the milieu. Derflinger is one of the most talented directors in German-speaking countries, but unfortunately she is quickly infected on local television. After major films for ZDF, she recently shot risky indie dramas like '42plus'. The filmmaker usually throws a rather unexcited look into human abysses. One rarely finds pity and sympathy with her. "
Holger Gertz from Süddeutschen.de says: “In this 'crime scene' you can watch two seekers searching. Incidentally, the otherwise free-floating fall is unbeatably realistic, it shows: if you look, you won't find. "
At Stern.de , Sophie Albers judges: “Incredibly surreal and tragicomic, 'Wrongly packed' shows what a 'crime scene' can dare to do. Even if you can hardly understand the commissioners sometimes. "
The critics of the television magazine TV-Spielfilm approve of it: “The Bulgarian mafia, Serbian death squads, now this case: For the Viennese investigators, the failure of the internationally organized crime is the main theme. Which, not least thanks to the plump figures, is also highly entertaining this time. [Conclusion:] Bad story with characters like that. "
