Borowski - 04 - Schattenhochzeit

Overview

On the day that Ulrich Wahl is called at home by his young lover Teresa, contrary to all agreements, he suspects evil. And all too quickly his fears are confirmed. Covered in blood and completely distraught, the young Cuban begs him for help. There is a dead person in her apartment, her secret love nest, he has to go. Wahl feels compelled to act, because what else should happen? The fragile construction of his double life would shatter into pieces with consequences that he does not want to bear. The corpse that Chief Inspector Klaus Borowski brings to Ulrich Wahl is not the dead man from his lover's apartment. It is about a security guard who was found run over on a construction site by the entrepreneur Wahl. Wahl's dismay is limited, and Borowski registers that. The security guard Bernd Ruda was run over with the car of Thorsten Brück, Teresa's husband. Brück was also an employee in von Wahl's company, but he has now disappeared. Borowski suspects somethingof the context and sticks to Ulrich Wahl, who is noticeably getting on his nerves at the toughness of Borowski's questioning. However, when Wahl is then blackmailed, he confides in the inspector: someone blames him for the death of the security guard and is blackmailing him with it. But why is Wahl telling the commissioner about it? Because he knows the blackmailer! His wife Ingrid Wahl has apparently accepted for a long time that she has lost her husband. But what was she supposed to achieve with this blackmail? When Brück is found stabbed, the investigators no longer believe he was the perpetrator. Who believes in such a coincidence: First Brück kills, then he is killed?! The trail leads to an apartment where Teresa is said to have lived. But didn't she live with her husband Brück? And who was the elderly gentleman who regularly visited the Cuban? The noose is tightening, because the commissioners have known something for a long time that is throwing Wahl off track. Wahl cannot be the culprit, and so he feels compelled to act one last time.
