I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier Chapter 871: No More Than 20 Kilometers

"Are you saying that the engine noise is very loud?"

"Yes, the noise is extrely, extrely loud. We are currently looking into this clue, trying to figure out whether to replace the machine or find another way to solve the problem. However, we haven't had the chance to address it, and unexpectedly, these car thieves drove off with it."

"Apart from this, is there any other feature or characteristic?"

"Because the noise is so loud, this car can't be driven for long distances. After traveling a certain distance, the engine overheats and then stops working."

"How long can it approximately run?"

"At most, it can't exceed 20 kiloters. Once it exceeds 20 kiloters, the engine basically enters a scrapped state, and then it will automatically shut off. Naturally, the car can't be restarted."

"20KM?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen simply nodded lightly, then looked back, realizing that indeed so clues had been uncovered from the repair shop.

Moreover, he knew that these clues should be quite valuable for them.

"That's right, at most it can only run 20 kiloters. That's why the custor had to park the car here previously. In order to tow the car over, we specifically got a tow truck because it had already exceeded the 20-kiloter range by then."

"Alright, I understand. In that case, I will now head out to search within a radius of 20 kiloters, which should be the range we need to investigate. I guess I'm right, aren't I?"

"Yes, that's correct. I can assure you of that, but do you need any assistance or should I arrange for a few young chanics to go with you?"

"No, since the vehicle can't be driven, it'll naturally be parked sowhere. When I find it, I'll call you. You can then bring the car back, alright?"

"Okay, it's really a bother for you."

Originally, the owner of the repair shop said he wouldn't take care of this, but considering that reporting to the police would definitely alert the car owner, he felt sowhat responsible.

So he wasn't inclined to do that. As he was pondering over the matter, unexpectedly, such a favorable turn of events occurred.

For the owner, this turned out to be an excellent choice, so he readily agreed to it.

After they both left, they went straight to the car. Now, he knows they might have found a clue from this ordeal.

If that's the case, it shouldn't be very difficult to achieve their objective.

"The repair shop owner ntioned 20 kiloters. If that's the case, then within this 20-kiloter radius is the range we need to search, right?"

"Exactly, that's how it is. So, this presents us with a perfect opportunity. We don't need to worry about too much; we just need to consider what to do next."

As he spoke, he pulled out his equipnt again. Having narrowed down the range, he understood it shouldn't be too challenging for them from here on.

After a few minutes, he quickly tracked the direction in which the car was traveling. Furthermore, if it continues for another few kiloters, it will end up on the roadside.

Following the car's direction, they quickly headed that way, and very soon, around the 10-kiloter mark, they saw the car parked on the roadside.

Then Ye Chen quickly jumped out of the car and peered inside the roadside vehicle, only to find it completely empty.

However, they noticed so black fabric strips inside, suggesting they likely used them to blindfold two individuals. But why did they remove them at this point?

Anying stepped forward and took the fabric strip, brought it close to his nose and sniffed it gently. His face barely showed a slight wrinkle.

"What's the matter? Is there an issue?"

"I initially thought it was used as a blindfold, but it seems it was used to temporarily drug them."

"Are you saying it's a type of anesthetic or knockout drug?"

"Exactly. Since they moved the people, they wouldn't want them to protest or resist, so they probably chose this thod and used such substances."

"Alright, in that case, I can more or less piece things together. But earlier, while mapping the area, I estimated it should be around 10 kiloters from here, estimating 20 kiloters as per the repair shop owner's assessnt. Why did they leave the car halfway?"

"That, I don't know."

As he said this, Anying circled around the car but found no clear clues. However, on one side of the car, there was a path leading leftward. He suspected there could be a vehicle waiting for them down there.

Finally, Ye Chen got into the car. Fortunately, the keys were there. He started the engine, which worked perfectly, proving that the car wasn't abandoned due to chanical failure but rather by deliberate choice.

"Looks like they're really smart, realizing that this car was rely a temporary ans to an end."
