action
The chief detective Eva Saalfeld and Andreas Keppler are called when a young woman is found dead. It's about Ellen Krüger, who after a broken neck lived a short time before she suffocated on her own blood. Ellen was found by her friend and roommate, Roza Arweladze. The officials learned from Brunner, the host of the pub where Ellen worked as a waitress, that she had been approached by Tim Rische, a regular, the previous evening. When they visit him, he tries to flee, which Saalfeld and Keppler can prevent. When they confront Rische with the murder of Ellen Krüger, the latter says that it must have been the insane policeman who threatened and hit him last night in order to get Ellen Krüger's address. The further investigations show that Stefan Dirks, a colleague of the drug search, recommended Tim Rische as an informant to police officer Matthias Krupp from the robbery department. Matthias Krupp and his wife Berit have been friends of Saalfeld and Keppler for many years. When they question Krupp, he is very taciturn and looks for excuses. It specifies only Generic for acquisitive crime having sought. Another search of Ellen's apartment by Keppler shows that the young woman was addicted to heroin , which is also confirmed by the later autopsy . Further investigation shows that Ellen Krüger was forcibly torn out a thick tuft of hair. When it turns out that Ellen Krüger always took the same taxi to her place of work and back, Keppler found that more than strange. The survey of the driver Oliver Bendler does not initially reveal any further information.
When Saalfeld and Keppler learn from the public prosecutor Karin Lucke that disciplinary proceedings are pending against their friend Matthias Krupp because he had become violent during an interrogation, they are very astonished. In another conversation with the Krupp couple, Eva Saalfeld finds out that Amelie, the Krupp's daughter, has run away from home and has since become a drug addict. Krupp is looking for her. During a forensic investigation , Matthias Krupp's fingerprints are found in Ellen Krüger's apartment. Saalfeld and Keppler are then supposed to arrest the friend. Keppler grants Krupp a requested period of 12 hours when he implores him to give him this time because he did not kill Ellen Krüger. As it turns out, Oliver Bendler was Ellen Kruger’s friend. It can also be determined that Krüger sold drugs commercially, including to Amelie Krupp.
The next morning the commissioners are called to see Matthias Krupp's body. Eva Saalfeld's gaze falls on Amelie Krupp, who is standing on a bridge. Together with Keppler she can catch the young woman who is at the end of her strength and bring her to her mother. Krupp was killed by a shot in the back of the head from close range. Apparently he was still trying to give a clue by writing the number 132 in the earth. Keppler tells Saalfeld that the only thing missing is the 7 that he couldn't manage. 1327 is the license number of Oliver Bendler's taxi. In another questioning, Bendler denies that he initially heard anything about the dealership in his taxi. When he noticed it, there was an argument between him and Ellen and he wanted to part with her. Keppler continues to wonder where Kruger got the large quantities of drugs that she sold on. One clue leads to Stefan Dirks, who has seized a kilogram of heroin in the evidence room, although there are inconsistencies in the statements, since the first talk was of a seized amount of two kilograms. Then, however, the informant Tim Rische corrected his statement that he had made a mistake and that it was about a kilogram. After Keppler pointed out the consequences of another false statement, he corrects himself and now speaks again of two kilograms of heroin. Keppler visits Stefan Dirks at billiards and demands his weapon. Dirks hands it to him and only insists that the public prosecutor Karin Lucke must be present when he is questioned. When Saalfeld and Keppler informed the public prosecutor about the latest developments and told her that they were sure that Matthias Krupp had discovered Stefan Dirks and his trafficking in misappropriated drugs, the prosecutor accused them of acting independently beyond their authority. During the subsequent interrogation of Dirks, to the great surprise of the inspectors, she testifies that Dirks had been with her for a meeting at the time in question, when Matthias Krupp was shot. Dirk's service weapon is also clean.
Keppler finds Dirks through Roza Arweladze, whom the drug investigator has set on him. She confesses to him that Dirks forced her to participate after Ellen's death and threatened to expel her if she resisted . She called him after Ellen's death and said he had brought a coffee mug and an adhesive strip that he pressed onto the coffee mug and then onto the door handle of the apartment. So Krupp's fingerprints got into the apartment. When questioned again, Bendler admitted with tears that he pulled Ellen's hair so hard that she broke her neck. He didn't want that. Dirks then promised him that he would be kept out of everything if he was silent, including the fact that Ellen had gotten the drugs from Dirks himself. Bendler, who urgently wants to go to the toilet, tears himself away from the officer and throws himself down from the staircase gallery on the upper floor. Shaken, prosecutor Lucke kneels down next to the seriously injured man. Bendler is her son. Dirks had known about it and had asked her to give him an alibi and blackmailed her with it that he could prove that Oliver had killed Ellen. When he was arrested by Saalfeld and Keppler, Dirks only said whether they had any idea how liberating it could be to really play along.

Reviews
“The two newcomers have met their quota target - and they are slowly finding their pace. Nevertheless: what could become of the Leipzig 'Tatort' if the MDR had less calculated. Thomalla and Wuttke just don't go together. "
“Pure crime: no jokes, no social studies. Conclusion: Solid craft without a lot of ballast. "
