action

Renata Lang was at a medical congress in Styria when her friend Dr. Ingrid Knapp is lying in the hotel's steam bath with a circulatory breakdown. The resuscitation is unfortunately in vain, although only doctors were present. Renata Lang, it sounds uneasy and asks Eisner to help her and investigate the death. He first asks a friend of his, Wolfgang Schremser in Styria, to look at the body.

There is no evidence of external violence, only a full operation not so long ago and a small scratch on the arm. So you have to assume a heart attack. Even if she was given an anesthetic, it can be assumed that it has already broken down in the body. Meanwhile, Eisner wants to try, disguised as a journalist, to find out something at the congress. He just got there when a dispute broke out among the speakers about Ingrid Knapp turning her back on immoral research in the pharmaceutical industry and wanting to leave the institute where she worked. Two research institutes were working on a preparation to improve fertility at the same time. Dr. Bauer finances this research and wants to accelerate the completion of the research with the double funding.

From Magister Fritz Knapp, Ingrid's husband, Renata learns that her friend had to have her uterus removed 3 months ago because of a miscarriage with complications. He admits that their marriage broke up and Ingrid left him. Meanwhile, Eisner introduces himself to the hotel director as a detective and asks for the master key because he wants to discreetly investigate without disrupting the hotel. He speaks to Professor Schickel about his competitor Erwin Schmölzer, whom he describes as absolutely unscrupulous.

Wolfgang Schremser finds out that Ingrid Knapp's miscarriage was very likely to be related to a self-experiment of the newly developed preparation. So it is conceivable that she wanted to make the side effects public and was therefore silenced. Renata confronts Knapp with her suspicion about the self-experiment, and he confesses to her that he took the drug secretly and that this was the real reason she left him.

Hans Burkard is missing at the congress and when Renata tries to see where he is, she finds him dead in the hotel room. Here, too, it initially looks like suicide because he was in love with Ingrid Knapp and even wanted to open a group practice with her. Nevertheless, the investigators doubt. You suspect Knapp and Schmölzer to have had an interest in the death of the two. Knapp owns shares in the research company that he would lose in a scandal, and Schmölzer had to "protect" his newly developed preparation.

At Burkard, there is medium-length blond hair on his shirt, which leads Eisner to Heidi Strauss, Knapp's closest work colleague. He examines her room and finds several suspicious vials and a photo of Burkard. Eisner then approaches her and she confesses that she was so in love with Burkard that she eliminated her competitor. Still, Burkard just didn't want to have anything to do with her. So she killed him out of disappointed love. And while she is sitting on the bench next to Eisner, she too bites a poison ampoule.
