- Russian-born regional chess grand master Victor Malkin is skull-smashed in his hotel. Sven Hansen and Stadler first question his Rosenheimer challenger Georg Rieder, who publicly claimed Malkin cheated but has no proof and a motive: the sole Bavarian spot in a lucrative Abu Dhabi tournament. Malkin's wife Elsa Malkin had an affair with his manager Mark Wolf, and would lose his fortune if caught due to a prenuptial.

- Exclusive independent limousine service "Saphir" driver Fabian Feldmann is found by a jigger, stabbed in his car on a path near the villa of regular customer Christine Hauck.

Fresh widow Tina Wagner claims she was happy with Fabian but admits his frequent, occasionally indiscreet dealing with wealthy women caused tensions. Maren Hassler paid him handsomely every week for rides to hotel "Waldhaus". Bach can barely endue May's petty 'house rules'. Marie Hofer is transferring two days early to Clemens Roth's municipal committee "Family and recreation", greatly missed at the music academy by Achziger, and finds the new team pleasant but their activities exhausting.

Fresh, much younger widow Agnes felt neglected but would see none of his fortune if divorced under a prenuptial. Personal trainer Yannik Kollmitz kept walking in and out, while spending far more then he could afford.Seitz is back in Rosenheim, having invented a pointless 'quality control' as pretext to approach clarinet virtuoso Steffi Hagenburg who is to play in the music academy but dates Andi instead, who alas gets little out of her either.
- In widow Dorothea Bühler's fruit and vegetables family firm was murdered Sebastian Kemper, husband of daughter Sophie, with whom he did the marketing, while elder sister Lina Bühler did the accounts, junior Charlotte 'prospected' abroad, having enjoying Italy a year and an affair with Sebastian, who just dumped her.

- Wellness-brand "Wundervoll" executive Klara Lehmann was poisoned in her luxury villa. There she received the previous evening local "Wundervoll Beauty-Atelier" employees Sandy Hofmeister and Katharina Maurer, whose husband Nils's affair with Klara Lehmann may explain her rapid rise but renders both spouses suspects, although Klara's Martin Lehmannclaims they prepared a friendly divorce.

That same night, employee Mareike Mattusch reports a break-in in Bettina's antiquities shop, where only some cash and minor items seem stolen and a key was used. Christian Bach, who rejoined the theft section, recognizes this MO, which trails to innkeeper Alfons Patzer, whose picnic programs suspiciously often are followed by robberies. Anton is unpleasantly surprised by the arrangements to house his police partner.

Achtziger must be formally investigated as (implausible) prime suspect by Sven and Korbinian. City official Dr. Henning-Spaeth handed Kranz incriminating accounts, without formal authority, which Sven gets Ortmann to look through and find doctored, albeit his 'bribe' marina breakfast backfires. Kranz was murdered wit the precious meteorite the astrologer kept locked in a showcase in his office, now missing, estimated at 500,000 Euros. Nearly bankrupted bookshop-keeper and astrology club fellow Herbert Glaser, whose girlfriend Rosl Grandauer is academy employee, had access, no alibi. Achtziger semi-identifies from a tick young academy student Alfi Stutzner as probably the masked man, statute fitting, who gets linked to another person of interest.
- Contractor Heiko Berg drowned, held down in his home pool. Hansen and Stadler first suspect not-mournful fresh widow Veronika Berg, and her suspiciously close cousin Florian Metzger, whom she unilaterally granted a large business loan, and they hide major secrets. Berg's ex-wife and - business partner Nicola Wallbach resented his efforts to remove her form management. Trainee Carolin Riedenburg, was Berg's lover, presumably aspiring a third marriage. Stockl's efforts to find a free home for some discarded filing folders go pear-shaped when the table she borrowed from the chief's office to display them with a sign 'for free' on is mistakenly 'adopted' by doc May, assisted by Lange.
