action

Private detective Georg Wilsberg is commissioned by Jochen Rausch to protect his wife. Jutta Rausch is the "green" city treasurer of Münster and has received an anonymous threatening letter, which Rausch believes should be taken very seriously. Since he works in Bielefeld and he is not at home all week, Wilsberg should keep an unobtrusive eye on the woman, since she shouldn't know anything about it. Wilsberg also finds out very quickly why, because the couple is living in divorce and Jutta Rausch has a new friend: her colleague Berthold Diezelbach. Surprisingly, he was shot one morning while jogging. Although Wilsberg quickly canceled the contract, he remains interested in solving the attack on Diezelbach and continues to investigate on his own. From Commissioner Springer he learns that the murdered man had also received a threatening letter.

Unexpectedly, the city treasurer's party friends also want Wilsberg to take care of their protection. At the same time, Jochen Rausch also hired Karsten Feldhaus as the new bodyguard, so that the woman is now guarded by two men at every turn. Feldhaus is usually Jutta Rausch's personal assistant and is always close to his boss for professional reasons, so it made sense for Jochen Rausch to use him for this. Wilsberg found out very quickly about the current problems of the city council, because the city council is currently struggling with an activist movement that is resisting the construction of a new shopping center, in which Alex is also involved. According to their observations, the environmentalists have collected a great deal of material on the individual members of the Münster city council.

Although Wilsberg rarely lets his client out of sight, she is also shot, but fortunately the bullet misses its target. Wilsberg's interest is focused on the farmer Tönne Mesenkamp, ​​who is one of the top activists and who owns several hunting rifles. When Wilsberg secretly looks around his house, he finds newspapers from which letters and words have been cut and he sees him as the author of the threatening letters. Wilsberg informs Commissioner Springer, who has Mesenkamp arrested. It turns out that his daughter had put the letters together, but only wanted to shake up and frighten those responsible. Her father's guns were not shot at either Diezelbach or Rausch.

From his friend Manni, Wilsberg learns of an incident in the city council, when councilor Martin Henne allegedly "reached into" the party fund two years ago. As a result, he had to cede his candidacy for city treasurer to Jutta Rausch and his political career was over. After Manni finds out that Diezelbach had forged Hennes' signature at the time in order to defame him, Wilsberg believes that he is the culprit. Meanwhile, Jutta Rausch is shot again and Wilsberg is slightly injured. So the detective immediately drives to Henne and wants to confront him. However, Henne is convinced that this time it will only be used. He had just found the rifle in front of his house that he had been missing for a week and it became clear to him that the police should find the rifle on him. Wilsberg believes him and is gradually discovering that the attacks are not politically motivated, but purely personal. Somebody got his rival out of the way and fired the shots on Rausch just to “cover up”. Karsten Feldhaus has always had a private interest in his colleague, but after he found out that Rausch wanted to "dump" him, he made another attempt to murder his boss. Wilsberg can prevent this and convict him in the act.

background

criticism

The editorial team of TV Spielfilm is of the opinion: “The melancholy provincial crime series initially looked fresher. Nevertheless: main actor Leonard Lansink is an eye-catcher. "Conclusion:" The laconic main character tears it out. "
