🔍 Erfurt crime scene: The broad bean
A warm afternoon above the rooftops of Erfurt. On the Petersberg, where walkers usually enjoy the view and boules players roll their balls, something happens that shakes the city: Michael Hellmann, a successful Erfurt entrepreneur, suddenly collapses in the middle of a game of boules - without warning, without any apparent cause. Only minutes later it is clear: all help comes too late. A natural death? That seems unlikely...
The police suspect foul play. A toxicological analysis is to clarify whether Hellmann was poisoned - and a mysterious video is circulating online that raises more questions than it answers. What does it really show? And what does the Erfurt broad bean, the city's landmark, have to do with all this? A harmless specialty - or the key to a deadly secret?
Five people close to Hellmann are under suspicion: his wife, his sister, his best friend, his business partner - and perhaps someone who no-one has on their radar. But who is lying and who is telling the truth?
