Mystery at Zurich Zoo: Murdered Chimpanzee Investigation Unravels Twisted Plot – Zurich Commissioners on the Case

Berlin. It is an unusual “crime scene” that the Zurich commissioners are investigating this time. But she’s in for her best case scenario yet.

That’s the monkey! The Zurich “crime scene” investigators are amazed when they are called to a new crime scene early in the morning. Because he is – in Zoo. And the corpse: a chimpanzee who was stabbed to death. From a legal point of view, anyone who kills an animal is only committing property damage. Why are the homicide squad called?

“Tatort” Zurich: Murders are becoming more and more confusing

But the zoo’s administrative board member is an influential lady, also in politics, where public prosecutor Wegenast (Rachel Braunschweig) is about to be promoted to federal judge. So she drives hers The commissioner at. But it was a full moon anyway, and neither of the investigators slept a wink.

Now Isabelle Beaujean (Anna Pieri Zuercher) and Tessa Ott (Carol Schuler) are completely exhausted. The Forensic evidence between wolves and giraffes seems like a daydream. And the most beautiful picture of the episode is when Ms. Ott falls asleep on a bench, completely exhausted, with an elephant splashing behind her.

Human Victim but there is also. And almost inflationary. A man with an eye patch ambushes another. And then he himself is murdered by his own wife. And that in turn comes from her twin sister. Nicole Merz (in a dual role: Sarah Victoria Frick) is a wealthy investment advisor who defrauded her clients of millions.

Now she wants to escape the investigations against her by portraying the murder of her proletarian sister Aline as suicide in order to assume her identity. It’s just stupid that she didn’t know anything about their crimes. And now she is not wanted as a fraudster, but as a murderer. And then there is a deceived client who knows nothing about a twin. And behind that Sister murderer is here.

Zurich Commissioners: This is how their relationship developed

Murder and manslaughter in a chain reaction: That’s quite confusing. And you don’t have to be as tired as the investigators to not be able to fully understand it. But this makes for a fascinating and friction-filled story arc. And as a spectator you have to attest to the Zurich women: The insomnia is good for them. So far, the “Tatort” episodes from Zurich have been rather tough and leaden. It wasn’t just the Swiss idiom that was dragging.

But in their eighth episode, the two suddenly play off each other. With a completely new weapon that you would otherwise rather find in the Münster consequences located: a good portion of black humor. The commissioners are finally no longer rubbing shoulders with each other. On the contrary: they sometimes fall asleep next to each other, overtired as they are.

The episode poses moral questions for officials

A few precious ones Diamonds There are also things that everyone is after. The screenwriters Lorenz Langenegger and Stefan Brunner add a few sparkling accents. And even Ms. Beaujean stepped into a diamond at the crime scene. It then sticks to her shoe. And now the otherwise always over-correct inspector finds herself in conflicts of conscience: Should she embezzle the stone to pay off the debts of her friend, who owns a restaurant?

Every character, including every investigative character, also pursues personal interests. And comes in Conflicts of conscience. A tense scenario. There’s no question that “Of Apes and Men” is Zurich’s best episode to date. A true gem.

The “Crime Scene: Of Apes and People” is running Sunday March 14that 8:15 p.m. on ARD and is also in the Media library to see.
