Inspector Flemming and his colleague Master Max Ballauf are investigating a murder case, the solution of which extends to his own family.
action
Commissioner Flemming is called to a murder case. The rich, 60-year-old Erika Güstrow was the victim of robbery and murder. Since the neighbor had seen her grandson Alexander leaving the house with a video recorder under his arm, he was the first to be suspected. Main master Max Ballauf tries to find him, but has no success.
Alexander Weckwerth, who is friends with Flemming's son Ingo, confides in the detective. He tells Flemming that he needed money and therefore went to his grandmother, who did not want to give him anything. Suddenly everything was covered in blood and so he took the video recorder and left. The heavily drug-addicted young man is arrested on suspicion. When Flemming learns that Alexander offered the stolen recorder to his son in order to get some money, he has the device handed over to him as evidence.
A short time later, Alexander revokes his confession and explains that he suspects his father because he saw him come out of his grandmother's house before him. To protect him, he wanted to take on the act, which he now regrets. Since Philipp Weckwerth has just had a fatal traffic accident, he can no longer be asked about it. However, the victim's neighbor confirms Alexander's statement and the investigators learn that there had been tension recently between Weckwerth and his mother-in-law. She blocked a property swap, without which her son-in-law would not have received an important corporate loan from the bank.
Alexander Weckwerth manages to escape from custody. Since Flemming is certain that he will first get enough money to get drugs, he asks his son Ingo where he can find Alexander. He then goes looking for his friend himself and learns that Alexander is being pressured by a dealer to whom he has massive debts. After he has him kidnapped by his cronies, Ingo notifies the police, who then get hold of the gang, but after a “ golden shot ”, Alexander only finds him dead.
In the end it turns out that Erika Güstrow was very adored by her neighbor Wenzel, but she did not return his love. When asked about it, he admits to having killed his great love in an argument.
background
The shooting of this 277th crime scene crime story took place in the Bavaria Filmstudios in Geiselgasteig .
The traffic accident shown by Philipp Weckwerth takes place on a construction site on Bundesstraße 1 on the right bank of the Rhine. The Rheinufertunnel (Düsseldorf) was being built here at the time of filming , so that at that time construction was actually taking place at the corresponding location near the old castle tower . During the accident, Philipp Weckwerth made a phone call on his cell phone - this was only banned in Germany in 2001 .
At the end of the episode, the investigators drive several times through downtown Düsseldorf over the millipede by Friedrich Tamms . You can see the view of Schadowstrasse at that time as well as the condition at Jan-Wellem-Platz . This bridge was demolished in 2013. The buildings on the Kö-Bogen are currently under construction at this point , while the former streets of the bridge have been replaced by the Kö-Bogen tunnel.
