"What, are you trying to give me another punishment? Come on, I don't care! Too many lice don't itch!" the sergeant shouted.
"What faults did that convoy pick...?" the lieutenant frowned; he felt there was surely some misunderstanding.
"Things like fire equipment not properly installed, ammunition boxes not locked according to regulations, soldiers' weapons not safetied... all minor details," the soldier said. "Rumor has it that the convoy's leader extorted unsuccessfully and got beaten up, so he decided to retaliate..."
"Extortion? Retaliation?" the lieutenant's eyes widened. "Do we actually have such scum in the army?"
"Captain, keep your voice down! It's just a rumor! A rumor!! It hasn't been verified yet!" the soldier quickly said.
"Sergeant, I think there must be some misunderstanding! About yesterday's incident, I..."
The lieutenant hadn't finished speaking when the man in the black robe suddenly pushed him aside and walked straight into the outpost.
