Parker then places a hidden microphone in the interview room where Will Thoday and his sailor brother Jim are waiting.
It becomes apparent that both brothers thought that the other was guilty of killing Deacon, but were willing to take the blame themselves or at least shield the other.
When they are interviewed, Will relates that he encountered Deacon, who had come to retrieve the emeralds, in the church on 30 December.
Will had married Mary after the war, believing her a widow.
Now he realised Deacon was still alive, making his and Mary's marriage bigamous and their daughters illegitimate.
Desperate to prevent Deacon exposing his family to pain and scandal, Will tied him up in the bell-chamber, planning to bribe him to leave, but became helpless with Spanish influenza next day.
Will's delirious talk led Jim to find Deacon's body in the bell-chamber on 2 January.
He assumed that Will had murdered him.
Appalled but loyal, he waited until the night after Lady Thorpe's funeral on 4 January, made the body unrecognisable and hid it in the new grave, then left for sea.
When the body was discovered, Will assumed Jim had killed Deacon.
Neither can explain how Deacon died.
Both are released.
Will marries Mary again in Bloomsbury under Archbishop's licence, and returns to Fenchurch St. Paul.
