Notary Dr. Matthias Graf is found by wife Katharina Graf and assessor (deputy) Gernot Weiss in his office, skull fatally smashed with a Justice statue. His last, missed appointment the evening before was with foxy Marion Süßmayr, the wealthy local partner of former precinct interim Dirk Bergmann, who wanted to buy Graf's grand villa at Chiemsee. Gernot Weiss seems to lack both alibi and motive, as he aspired succeeding but has no written proof. Widow Graf -a former employee, still 'employed' to lure clients- now inherits everything, would have gone empty in case of an end to the loveless marriage, the notary was a brothel regular. Forensics on Graf's damaged car link him to a hit and run, which throws new light on things.
