"Do you do patrols at standard intervals?" Xia Zhe asked.
The cookhouse squad leader thought carefully for a moment and said, "Yes, because we have to prepare three meals a day for the soldiers, so we will patrol once around the water storage tanks at night. Usually, we will also check the water level first before taking it for cooking. However, when we checked tonight, we realized that there was a lot less water in the water storage tanks."
Under normal circumstances, the storage area for important supplies in the army were strictly guarded by designated teams who specifically patrol the area so as to prevent any losses. However, as the frequency of people going to the water storage tanks was relatively high, the frequency of patrol around the area was lesser than that of the military equipment area.
"Did your team discover this yourselves or did someone inform you?" Xia Zhe asked.
"One of our own people discovered it," the cookhouse squad leader said.
