Immediately after he has brought the girl back, he receives a follow-up assignment from Rabenalt's son Karl-Hermann: Wilsberg is to track down a woman who is secretly involved with his father.

He therefore suspects that this meeting was not a coincidence, but a calculated move. That same evening he receives a call from the desperate Tanja: her adoptive father has broken his neck in a fall down the stairs; her brother has been arrested on suspicion of having pushed him.
