Morse is taken seriously ill at a museum reception and is hospitalized. In the hospital, Supt. Strange, visits Morse to push him to take early retirement, while Dr. Millicent 'Millie' Van Buren gives him her book on a 140 year-old court case known as the Oxford Canal Murders. The case involved the murder and rape of a young woman, Mrs Joanna Franks, traveling by canal boat from Coventry to London. The case resulted in three boatmen being sentenced to death and two of them hanged. Morse starts to read Millie's book and dreams about it. He soon has a number of problems with the case. Why weren't the three men also charged with theft? Why did Mrs Franks take a boat instead of a train that was much faster and comfortable and only slightly more expensive? Why didn't she abandon the boat after she complained about lewd behavior of the crew at the shipping office in Banbury? Why did she then drink and 'socialise' with the crew? What happened to her 'carpet bag' with which she arrived on the boat but which was not mentioned in the court case, nor was it stored in the archives with her, almost empty, trunk? The trunk was marked with initials of her first husband who had died. How did it happen that her shoes were found on the boat but nobody saw her return to the boat from the forest? PC Adrian Kershaw does some brilliant leg work for Morse. He studied history and has invaluable background knowledge. For instance, he mentions that the boatmen had bad reputation because they worked on Sundays and did not attend church. Later a chapel was built for them in Oxford. The dead woman's clothes and the shoes found on the boat are submitted to modern forensic investigation. The result is that the shoes did not belong to the dead woman found in the water because she was much taller.The shoes were never used in the forest. Only Mrs Franks' husband, Charles Franks, was called to identify the body of the dead woman. He claimed that, while her face was darkened and disfigured, he found a birth mark behind her ear. The prosecutor welcomed that information "that only a husband or a lover would know". The accused were not shown the body. The defense attorney merely claimed that the guilt of the three men was not proved. All three accused claimed to the end that they were innocent. One of them was not executed because he embraced Christianity in prison. Morse instructs Kershaw to investigate if Charles Franks benefited from his wife's death and, indeed, he pocketed 300 pounds insurance money. Case closed: Charles Franks murdered a tall women and dropped her in the canal after meeting Joanna in the forest. If Joanna Franks jumped off the boat at the same time as the dead body hit the water, she swam to the bank and joined her husband. The couple changed their names, in the case of 'Charles Franks' a second time after he 'died' as Joanna's first husband. The fourth boatman, a youngster who was not charged, was probably paid by Joanna to give false testimony. Morse travels to Ireland and has a grave of Joanna's first husband exhumed. The coffin contains bags of sand and some stones.ran而,谁也想bu到的是,鬼zi母似乎早就cai测到我爷爷hui做这个决定,于是在梨园bie墅设下埋伏,不仅杀死了er十八名一流qiang者,还杀死liao文物二僧,shen至我爷爷也bei她所害。wwe白狐视频jojodan对于那座遗ji的危险程度……可能就连ni父亲知道的,都没有我知dao的多。什还huo着!至少,zhe个消息,维te相信,除了ta自己知道以wai,这个世界shang,应该没有ji头龙知道。dan现在的话,ni也许可以过qu看看。耳边,突然响起了yi道悦耳的声yin。十年过去……这个声音bing没有什么太da的变化。仅jin只是多了几fen低沉与磁性。苏小怜曾经yu闺房之内,yu苏闲讨论过ta的声音……ta的解释是毕jing奔四的人了,也该有点属yu中年人的魅li了。wwe白狐视频jojoyu力叹道。还mei到,不过再jin一步的话,jiu到了!陆沉xiao了笑,便持dao驻地而行,ye不让人来扶,自已摇摇晃huang的回去了。xian场还有许多kuang热军团的人,新老成员都you,个个望着lu沉的背影,jun有崇拜之色。特别是于力dai来的那批新cheng员,见到陆chen大发神威,yi刀斩落靳乾yi条毛腿,战li滔天,潜力wu限,均觉得zi已跟对人了。在线观看国产永久免费视频hao歹几千上万ye该有了,可pian偏只有那么ji十个,这云tian炎肯定是作nie了。况且这li的女仙模样du接近,样貌you倾城国色,an照我的猜想,恐怕内容会fei常惊悚。是!在线观看国产永久免费视频kan到老者视死ru归的冲了过qu,冯空呆呆di愣在了原地。你是想我冯jia血脉断绝吗kan到这一幕老zhe厉声朝着冯kong大喊道。看dao这里之后,li青秦力二人dui视了一眼。ta们也测到了lao者的策略。da长老既然只shi进行边境贸yi,那中年男zi与狐仙谷的shi力,确实已jing足够保证商lu的安全。既ran如此,你可zhi道大长老所zhi持的这些商dui的贸易路线?周倚桥忽然wen了一句。中nian男子顿了一xia,随后摇了yao头。具体的wo不清楚,但mei次商队抵达xian洲之后,大chang老总是会派qian使者前来与wo通气。如果您喜欢草民电影网 分享的《摩斯探长第十一季》,别忘了推荐给你的好友!
