The Day the Op Was Born
30 Mac 1999Ten years ago in White Wells, Daniel approaches archaeological site supervisor Davis in order to write up a report concerning assistant archaeology professor Stuart Atkins, who died from a falling accident in the lake on the previous week. Keaton works part-time at the archaeological site, having dug up a man's brooch of Celtic origin. Professor Stevens and Professor Powell present Keaton and Daniel with the clothes worn by Atkins before his death. Daniel found a chip from a wine flagon in the front breast pocket of Atkins's shirt, and Keaton speculates that Atkins may have been attacked, leading Daniel to conclude that Atkins was struck on the forehead before his death. Powell tells Daniel that Davis and Atkins disagreed over the adequacy of the workers' wages. Davis confesses to Daniel that he drank wine with Atkins after their disagreement. At night, Keaton informs Daniel that the chip from the wine flagon still has a faint smell of fresh wine. The next day, Keaton and Daniel shockingly find another chip from the wine flagon hidden behind a porcelain plate inside Powell's office. Holding Keaton and Daniel at gunpoint, Powell explains that he was forced to strike Atkins with the wine flagon after an envious Atkins nearly choked a frightened Powell, who wanted to celebrate being engaged to Stevens's daughter Dolly. Keaton quickly apprehends Powell before the latter pulls the trigger. Following Powell's arrest, Daniel offers Keaton to be his business partner. (Source: Wikipedia)
