Der Chemiker Martin Wagner wird tot in einem Waldstück gefunden. Todesursache war ein Schlag mit einem stumpfen Gegenstand auf den Kopf. Wagner lebte noch nicht lange in Köln. In seiner Firma weiß man nur Gutes von ihm zu berichten. Allein der Kollege Andreas Schmidt gibt sich zurückhaltend. Firmenchef Wilhelm Groß, der angibt, zur mutmaßlichen Tatzeit in einem Stau in der Nähe des Flughafens gestanden zu haben, ist bestürzt, als er die Todesnachricht erhält. Seine um viele Jahre jüngere Ehefrau Christine benimmt sich gegenüber der SOKO etwas nervöser. Wäre es ausgeschlossen, dass sie und Martin sich privat näher gekommen sind, als sie zugeben möchte?
