Tenant farmer Markwart Painter asphyxiated, locked up in his silo before it was filled. Neighbor Kranzberg, the largest neighborhood farmer, presides the local association which opposes Painter's plan to start growing genetically modified corn, his only alibi being his wife Edith. In Franz Buchner's barn are found the petrol canisters, used to poison Painter's field. Their teen kids Martin Kranzberg and Sophie Painter however are lovers, but that may be incestuous. Controller Patrizia Ortmann found Korbinian Hofer far too often "SB" puts meaning "Stand-by" in his daily time report, which is a euphemism for being at the farm he runs with sister Marie, so Achtziger forbids him to do so again without permission in advance, and asks Lindt to charmingly or wittily prevent Ortmann going public.
