Outside the inn, the captain asks for some food and a room. The captain tells the captain that he heard that some men had been arrested for murder. The men had found a dead body in a case, but the businessmen had claimed that they had been wronged by the authorities. They were relatives of an important official in the city, and the authorities were responsible for cracking down on crime in a society governed by law. This is the first time the captain has heard of this kind of thing, and he is shocked that the captain acts like a woman. He asks the captain why he didn't kiss his father when he woke up, and when the captain says that he likes his father, he tells him that he can kiss anyone he likes.
