Der Staatsanwalt - Season 16

Prosecutor General Bernd Reuther, Chief Commissioner Kerstin Klar and High Commissioner Max Fischer investigate in a mysterious murder case in the country. Thomas Dittmann is found murdered in a field near Wiesbaden. During his investigation, Bernd Reuther learns that Dittmann was the most important farmer in the area. And almost everyone in the village would have had a reason to kill the despot. For example, Dittmann's ex-girlfriend Saskia Loos, who apparently deprived the victim of her family property. Thomas Dittmann's old friends, Jens Ruff and Rudi Manske, also appear suspicious. They have now returned to their old homeland and are said to have argued with the victim on the evening of the crime. Reuther recognizes that the reason for the friends' argument seems to be in the past.
Did Ruff and Manske murder their childhood friend out of revenge? The murder weapon finally leads Reuther to another important piece of the mosaic in this tricky case: strangers shot Klaus Brandes, the innkeeper of the place, years ago and seriously injured him. Was Thomas Dittmann involved in this incident at the time and therefore had to pay with his life? Carmen Brandes, who runs the inn with her husband Klaus and son Gerold, is shocked. Reuther is certain that the revenge motif is somehow correct in this case. But how does Ilse Dittmann, the victim's mother, fit into the picture? Why has she behaved so strangely since her son's death and even tries to destroy evidence?

The trail leads Reuther to Matthias Falk and Axel Tennberg, two competitors of the craftsman. Did you murder Ahrens? Investigators find that the victim apparently employed undeclared workers and spoiled the prices. Ahrens is also accused of being responsible for the death of a little boy.
Could the parents Niko and Birte Tennberg have taken revenge on him now? Or did Valentin Guga, the victim's closest colleague, murder to finally make the big money himself? When this employee becomes the victim of another attack, Reuther realizes that it has to be more than just the victim's work. Maybe everything is related to the crime scene?
