And Moritz didn't give the junior officers any time to digest the information.
"From last night until now," Moritz lightly tapped on the city gate on the map, "all entrances and exits of Maplestone City are in a lockdown state."
Upon hearing these words, some quick-thinking junior officers immediately understood the "Major's" implication, and some even started studying the numbers and plots on the map.
Moritz noted the changes in the junior officers' expressions, specifically marking a few faces, and then continued:
"In other words, the arsonist is still in the city."
With that, everyone understood.
"Dig three feet deep," Moritz commanded word by word, "find them!"
Not a sound was heard from the audience.
"Repeat my command."
There was still silence below.
"Don't understand words? Paratu People? Repeat my command!"
A sparse response arose from the audience, "Dig three feet deep, find them."
