Tatort: Schrebergarten

Heinz lies dead in the Rhubarb Yard! Who did it when with what? This is the question in Case 10B from the drawer in the box. Clues are provided to guide me to the solution; with their help I arrange the 25 pieces to find the solution. Green is the color of the visitors, Misters Weber, Hinz and Müller, Mrs. Paus and Mrs. Kunz; yellow marks the garden owners - Uschi, Renate, Ilse, Heinz and Klaus; purple marks the dates, red the weapons and mixed coloring stands for the garden locations. Case 10B is marked as medium difficult by its blue border, the easy cases have a green border and the really hard ones a red border.

First I take Heinz and the Rhubarb and place them in a column, still outside of the 5x5 grid in the box. Clue 1 says that the Garden Gnome was not the weapon, so the gnome goes into the weapon row in any of the other columns. Clue 5 has the information that Ilse’s garden is the middle one and that there is some barbed wire lying around there. Well, that means barbed wire is not the weapon, either, because it is with Ilse and not with Heinz, and as according to Clue 9 Mr. Hinz visited the garden left of the middle one, he did not visit Ilse.

Thus you work your way through the clues, you must read them very carefully and arrange tiles that are mentioned immediately; in each column there must be one tile of each kind. You do not need all clues for each of the cases, and you can stop when you have the answer, but it is more fun to assign all 25 tiles correctly.

Tatort Schrebergarten provides a nice sequel to the elegant, challenging fun provided by Greenrock Village Tatort Theater.
