Chapter 196 No Ending
"What's the matter?" Although Parks was very confused, he still gave Miller a chance to speak alone. He and Miller went out, just outside the company.
"It's like this!" Miller hesitated for a moment before saying, "When we were patrolling, we found the bodies of twelve Germans. They were not armed and looked more like prisoners. After being dead for several days, it should be the captives when we raided the German artillery positions that day!" After saying that, Miller looked at Parks's expression and found that he was very calm and did not look shocked.
"What do you mean?" Parks looked at him without any expression.
"No, no, I just want to tell you about this!" Miller replied quickly.
Parks nodded with a smile and said, " By the way, who else is patrolling with you?"
"Kaber and Webster!" This sentence should be there. Miller was prepared for a long time. Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with the two guys' evasion of responsibility.
"Why didn't they come to report to me?" Parks looked at him and said, "Kaber is a corporal. He is in charge of this patrol, isn't he? He should be the one to report this matter.
"It was Corporal Capper who asked me to come here." Miller said helplessly.
Parks couldn't help nodding and laughing, "That's why he is a corporal, and you are still a second-class soldier. It seems that he is a smart man, Private Miller! All right, that's it. I know about it! You can go back to your post. After saying that, Parks saluted Miller.
Miller quickly returned a salute. Parks looked at him with a deep smile on the corners of his mouth, and then nodded to him and walked towards the company's room. The process was very simple, and there was no such arrangement as Miller expected, such as the shock of Company Commander Parks, and then summoning Kaber and Webster to investigate.
"That's it?" Miller couldn't help muttering to himself, shook his head and walked towards the trench position.
In the trench, the soldiers are nestled in twos and threes. They chat, smoke, drink, and even some people gamble on dice or play poker in the trench. In Miller's opinion, this is simply an open-air tavern.
"Oh, I won. I've never had such good luck. God really cares for me today!" Li Gaote's laughter came in front of Miller. Obviously, he won, and then pulled the winning change into a ball and stuffed it into his pocket. There were also sighs and scolding around.
"Shit, can you win like this?" Gernelie couldn't help scolding, "It seems that I'm unlucky today." With that, he stood up and was ready to leave.
"Hey, Mr. Gonorrhea, play a little longer!" Tibo shouted, "Get rid of it. I have to win back the money I lost."
"I'm about to lose. Damn it. I have to go boo. You go on. I'll come back next time." Gernelly got up, then stretched out and walked in the direction of Miller.
"Hey, excuse me, cowboy!" Gernelly shouted.
Miller turned aside, watched Gernelly walk over swayingly, and muttered to his back, "Damn it, I'm not a cowboy, sergeant!" He was completely talking to himself.
"Miller, come here!" Suddenly, someone in front of him shouted at him. When Miller looked at him, it was Tibo. He smiled and said, "You come to replace Mr. gonorrhea. I'm afraid he won't come back. This damn guy, every time he loses money, he escapes with such a clumsy excuse. Shh? Can he still pee out? The water came out of his face.
"Every time he loses, he will lose a lot of water!" Paip also laughed ahe on the side.
Miller shook his head quickly and said, "No, no, I have something else to do. I'm looking for Cab and Webster!"
"Sit down, boy!" At this time, Li Gaote suddenly shouted at Miller, "Don't look like a sissy."
Miller suddenly blushed and said to Li Gaote, "No, I'm not. I'm sorry, I really have something to do. As he said, he quickly stepped over them and then hurriedly took a few steps forward.
Li Gaote's laughter came from behind him: "I said he was a sissy. Look, he was very angry. But I like this boy, which is quite good. Maybe I can go with him for the next patrol mission!"
Miller quickly took a few steps, and then said to Jenovik, who was leaning against the trench and looking at a book, "Hey, Jenovik, have you seen Webster?"
"I've seen it!" Genovik's head was not too much. He looked attentively, "I saw him last night!"
"Oh, God! I really shouldn't have asked you!" Miller patted his forehead with his hand and was about to pass by him.
"Hey, Miller, did you find anything on the patrol today?" Genovik suddenly looked up at Miller and said, "I really want to hear from Kabo say that you found something interesting during the patrol? Can you say it?"
"Damn it!" Miller suddenly had a bad feeling. The damn Capper pushed everything to himself. Obviously, he wanted to stay out of the matter. He looked at Genovik and shook his head and said, "Do you believe Carbo's words?"
"No, I don't believe it. He is a big talker!" Genovik smiled and said, "Why don't you share your interesting things with me?"
Miller couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly, and then said to Jenovik, "Well, you just need to tell me where Webster or Kaber are, and there is no need to talk about anything else!"
"Okay, okay!" Jenovik put down the book and pointed to a trench in front of him and said, "Kaber is on the left. Webster may be with him, but I'm not sure!" Hey hey hey, don't go, talk about your funny things. Oh, what a boring guy!" He muttered and then picked up the book.
Kaber is really there, and indeed, like Jenovik, there is Webster beside him. Carbo was cooking milk with a helmet, and Webster sat aside and wrote something on a small notebook.
"Kaber, why do you want to say it?" Miller couldn't help yelling at Carber. He is really dissatisfied with this guy.
"Do you want the whole E to hear your voice?" Capper smiled, then scooped a little milk with a spoon, put it in his mouth and tasted it. Then he nodded and said, "It tastes good. Would you like some?"
"I'm not in the mood!" Miller sat down and said, "Did you and others say it?"
Carbo couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, "Kid, don't worry. It's not the guys you killed. Why are you worried? I already knew who was the prisoner that day, Li Gott, Matthews, Matthew and Jericho. The only guy who is most likely to kill those Germans here is Li Gaote.
Miller nodded feebly and said, "I know, that's what I think."
"Look at Li Gaote, the murderer is still gambling on the dice, and you, the person who found the body, are restless here!" Kaber couldn't help shaking his head, "Are you his accomplice? Obviously, you don't have the courage either."
"Don't joke! "Kaber!" Miller said dissatisfiedly.
Kaber tasted another sip of milk, then nodded with satisfaction, took out a jar, reached half a cup, and handed it to Miller and said, "Don't worry, drink some milk first. I like the taste. It's much better than the greasy bones of the British!"
Miller hesitated for a moment, but took a sip. As Carbo said, it tastes good!
"What did Company Chief Parks say?" Carper said to Miller.
"He didn't say anything!" Miller shook his head and took a sip of milk. "He's very calm, Carbo. Don't you think it's strange? Why doesn't Company Captain Parks seem to care about this matter?
"What's so strange about this?" Kabo smiled and said, "I know our company commander very well. You know, when we entered the Tacoya barracks, he and I were in the same barracks. We spent a long time together, so I know him very well. When it comes to this matter, it is impossible for him to pursue it at all!"
"Why?" Miller looked at Cap in surprise.
Kaber shook his head and smiled, "Don't look at me like that, boy. Parks is a person who values his brothers very much. What's more, it was the Germans killed this time. Don't say you don't know. Sbyl of Company D is the pioneer of killing prisoners. He is more ruthless than Li Gao Te, but no one pursues these things. This is the fate of the Germans.
Miller still has that surprised expression. He obviously couldn't understand why he condoned this situation.
"That's why you didn't care at all when you reported to Lieutenant Parks." Carbo said, "Let you report, it's just a cut-off, which shows that we are not perfunctory while patrolling. I think Company Chief Parks must have known this for a long time. This is a normal performance. And from all the signs, Company Chief Parks doesn't seem to be pursuing this matter!"
"Yes, I'm afraid it's like this!" At this time, Miller reacted, and then suddenly said to Carbo, "You fooled me, Carbo, you bastard!"
Kaber smiled and said, "Yes, I did fool you. Look at Webster. He has forgotten about it, but you are still struggling with it. It seems that your heart is very fragile!"
"What?" At this time, Webster, who was beside him, suddenly closed his notebook, and then looked at the two people and said, "Are you talking about me? Oh, my God, I like milk!" With that, he stepped forward, took out the jar, and prepared to scoop it inside.
"Leave me some, damn it, I'm almost gone! I've been busy for a long time!" Cabo shouted in a hurry.
Miller looked at the way Webster and Carbo were arguing. He couldn't help laughing and said nothing. He took another sip of milk, and the taste seemed to be stronger.
This matter did not spread in Company E like the time when Spear killed prisoners, but no one understood Parks's idea. It is absolutely impossible for Parks to investigate this matter, because he seemed to have foreseen the result when he sent Li Gaote to escort the prisoners.
