In the ruins lies the body of Tim Engel, who was dead before the fire started. Krüger has to postpone his holiday. Obvious suspects are hotel owner Karsten Hellstein and his mistress Tina Engel (Anja Kling) the victim’s widow. Was Tim Engel trying to confront Hellstein about the affair with his wife?
