As a result with the title "Yes, I want", the victim is found before a meeting with the wedding planner Niko Theodoridis, which apparently had a violent argument. The ZDF reports that this dispute was the starting point for a number of tragic events.

But Julia, the future bride, is also examined. Her relationship with the deceased, Sonja, was probably not unproblematic.

a murder, many suspects

The victim, like the forensic doctor Dr. Benedikt Förster determined, had intimate contacts with Valentin shortly before death. This arouses questions: Was Valentin afraid that Sonja Julia could inform about the relationship? And was that possibly the reason for the crime? Commissioner Jo Stolls Intuition leads the investigation into new tracks and could soon bring decisive turns.

a reference to "alibi"

The episode is strongly reminiscent of Agatha Christie's classic "Alibi" (original title: "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd"), one of the most controversial and most famous works in crime history, written in 1926. This literary template is not only a milestone for Christie, but also has a significant impact on the crime genre. Here, too, suspicious characters and unexpected turns are at the center of the plot. In an apparently hopeless case in the fictional village of King’s Abbott, the detective Hercule Poirot determines where every villager is suspected, with personal motifs such as jealousy and power games come into play. Agatha Christie's crisp dialogues and skillful manipulation of false tracks keep the reader in suspense up to the last page, just like the current episode of SOKO Stuttgart.

The interweaving of nostalgic thriller and modern investigative traditions not only shows the timeless charm of Christie's stories, but also the unbroken appetite of the audience on exciting crime stories. It will be interesting to see how the Cologne Soko will be against the time in the race - the clarification of the case is in full swing and every new hint could decide the race.
