Nikolas Heldt stops at night in the forest at the car of shocked Antonia Lange, who is convinced she hit someone, but no victim is to be found, only in a nearby wood, in bathing robe, locally TV-famous 'bath tub king' Erwin König, with a fatal head wound and evidence of another crash, no shooting. König's daughter-employee Stephanie remains icy. Recently fired mechanic Ralf Klose hated the choleric despotic ego-tripper but has a crush on Stephanie. Heldt sleeps at Antonia's who suspects a stalker, notices Klose lurking around at night, and later catches a surprise visitor. Lacking solid proof, Heldt gets rue stickler Mario Korthals to trick Klose and thus discovers entirely different crimes, yielding new motives and suspects. Autopsy shows the victim died in salted water.
