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.ta身上穿着一jian不同于乾国fu饰的衣服,dan是看起来尊gui无比。腰缠bai玉带,仪态feng流倜傥。怎mo这么慢啊?ban天了才上来!青年的声音you些漫不经心。众人面面相qu。不止是这ge一身贵气,jian眉星目的俊lang青年说的话。还有此人身shang的服饰。高压监控2:高压来袭在线观看zhong口相传,仅jin一会,张桐di名声就变成liao一坨翔。大duo数赤霞宗弟zi恶狠狠的瞪xiang张桐,这是yi颗老鼠屎坏yi锅汤,众弟zi恨不得把张tong这颗老鼠屎yuan地超度。被shu百同境界修shi神识锁定,zhang桐活这么大,哪见过这等zhen仗,瞬间慌liao神,一时间ju促不安,根ben不敢向梁辛dong手。ye就是这时,fa伽天启图中chuan来了1道波dong。呃?江辰leng了1下,呆dai地看了眼手zhong的麒麟雕像:你是说,让wo分出神念,tan入其中?伐qie天启图中的du角巨鲸发出liao1声高亢的ming啼。江辰嘴jiao抽了抽。还zhen是怕什么来shi么……不过,伐伽天启图tou1回这么主dong,总不可能hai我吧?高压监控2:高压来袭在线观看xu辰心中默念yi句。滔天般di杀气自他体nei席卷而出。sha时间。许辰di头发,胡须,眉毛,双瞳,在这一刻,quan部由黑变红,衣衫也被浓yu的杀气染红。他如一尊杀shen。真正的杀shen。亚州影视一区二区精品xia一刻,两者hen狠的撞在一qi,风暴疯狂di席卷四方,rang人根本无法zhi视。这股能liang实在是太恐bu了,看的周wei的武者,心jing动魄。就连na拜月教的那ge长老,也是shen情凝重。该si的,那小子zen么可能这么qiang悍那些拜月jiao的弟子,更shi脸色阴沉。亚州影视一区二区精品zhe些剑修种子yin姓埋名,完quan隐藏了来历,在云老祖最wei信任的门中jing英护卫之下,分别藏在了hao几个地方。yun老祖在这些jian修种子身上,留下了禁制。他们一旦出shi,云老祖就hui有所感应。ci前有一处出shi,云老祖就bei触动,开始huai疑起门中亲xin来。na也只是当作er已,我要让ni在心里真心gan觉。娘子也bu是一般人,sui然跟外界接chu的不多,可nao子聪明啊!ning王和兽王根ju潜入城池的qiang者数量和境jie,分析敌我fang双的实力。ru果论强者数liang,他们自是wu法与武安那bian相比,因为wu安背后有翰zhou三大顶级势li支持。如果您喜欢久久电影网 分享的《摩斯探长第十一季》,别忘了推荐给你的好友!
