action

Private detective Georg Wilsberg is looking for the farmer Rabenalt's runaway adoptive daughter Tanja. Immediately after he brought the girl back, he immediately received a follow-up order from Rabenalt's son Karl-Herrmann. Wilsberg is supposed to track down a woman who is keeping secrets with his father. Without knowing it, Wilsberg knows the person he is looking for, because it is Ines, an old school friend who had just met with him in Munster. He therefore suspects that this meeting was not a coincidence but a calculation. That same evening he receives a desperate call from Tanja. Her adoptive father broke his neck falling off the stairs and the police are now arresting her brother on suspicion of bumping him. Tanja herself hides so that the youth welfare office cannot take her away. Wilsberg finds it in a barn and takes it to his second-hand bookshop. But due to a seizure action by the public order office, both of them cannot stay there and seek refuge with Wilsberg's friend Manni.

Thanks to his lawyer Detlef Hinz, Karl-Herrmann Rabenalt is quickly at large again. Wilsberg learns from Rabenalt that Hinz wants to buy the property and that he has promised him if he should inherit it one day. This makes him suspect to the private detective of having helped in the fall of the old man. When he also meets Ines at Hinz's, Wilsberg senses a connection. He confronts Ines and she assures him that Hinz is only her lawyer, but when he tries to visit her again late in the evening, he finds her dead in her apartment.

For Wilsberg, Hinz remains the main suspect, because according to his research, Hinz is speculating on land with his knowledge of mandates. Münster is planning the construction of a bypass road that would go right over Rabenalt's property. But it turns out that the old raven had a stroke before he fell, so no one can be held responsible for his death. Ines' autopsy reveals not only the cause of death but also an old caesarean scar, which gives Wilsberg the reason to suspect that she could be Tanja's mother and that is why she was with Rabenalt so often. This assumption is confirmed when Wilsberg speaks to Ines mother about it. The search for Tanja's father leads him to local politician Droste. He was Ines' class teacher at the time and admits that he pushed Ines away when she threatened to blow up the affair from then. In the fall, she broke her neck, which he is very sorry for.
