Large local forest owner and wood trader Rainer Brock fatally smashed with his motorcycle on his usual route into the sabotaged, normally open metal barrier bordering his brother Ewald's much smaller forest patch. Hansen and Stadler consider Ewald Brock held a grudge about the unequal inheritance, on account of their late father's disapproval of Ewald Brock's unprofitable eco-methods, he even joined activist group “Holzauge“, whose president Petra Wied refuses to resign to the court ruling against her complaints concerning Rainer Brock's environment-unfriendly but legal methods. Parquet contractor Anselm Geiger recently fought with Rainer after loosing out of a major contract, now probably future ones too. Police chief Achtziger urgently needs a alternative band for the precinct's impending open day, yet duly mistrusts Ganting mayor Karl Schretzmayer's offer.
