E9SpätleseSophie has now embarked on an affair with veterinarian Kauth, which not only has advantages. For example, she has to assist in the birth of twin calves before starting work, which hits her stomach more than the sight of a corpse. When winemaker Hubert Kreuzberg leads the officers to a small, dead body lying in the middle of his vineyard, the horrified officials initially believe it is a child. But it is the dwarf thief and fencer Arno Hümmel, who was released from custody only two days ago. What brought him to the Eifel and Kreuzberg's vineyard? And who maltreated his little skull with a big bottle of red wine? - Walzing Mathilde
E10Walzing MathildeFor a change, it's not just any violent offender, but veterinarian Kauth who puts a gun to Sophie's chest: He wants to turn their affair into a tangible relationship, yes, even move in with her. Before Sophie decides, she first solves the mystery of the seriously injured electrician Poppelrath, who lies in the garden of the housewife Kafka with an inexplicable head injury and a heart attack. Is the blame for this, as many in the village think, really the newly arrived man from East Germany, who – at least in the eyes of the Hengasch people – behaves highly suspiciously? Or does the victim's pathologically jealous wife have a hand in it? And is there a crime at all? - Tödlicher Lehrstoff
E11Tödlicher LehrstoffSophie is surprised – and Bärbel explains to her: The reason why Heike and Dietmar have been so distracted lately is the giftedness of their son Kevin. And since he has problems with the "normal" school thanks to his oversized IQ, he is supposed to move into the elite boarding school Lobberich, which is very close to Hengash. Even before Kevin is accepted there as a scholarship holder, his future teacher Dr. Kroy stupidly drops dead: heart attack – at least says Dr. Bechermann, the gynecologist of the district, who is all too often active in the emergency service. However, the autopsy reveals that it is not a natural death, because Kroy's teaching staff contains a huge amount of cocaine, which was apparently not taken consciously. So murder after all. Since Kroy enjoyed great unpopularity, there are also plenty of students and colleagues who could have been trusted with the deed. - Mikado
E12MikadoSophie feels increasingly lonely in Hengasch and seriously considers retiring from the police service and returning to Cologne. However, she is somewhat distracted from her gloomy thoughts by another murder case: DIY store owner Pfaff is shot dead while Nordic walking in front of his wife and an employee. Pfaff ran his hardware store with an iron fist, and some recent incidents indicate that he had enemies – but is the perpetrator really to be found in the wider environment? Because the best motives for the crime actually have the people who were present at the murder. But how could they have done it?
