I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier Chapter 897: Staying Behind to Observe

"If there are 270 people, then if he's hiding among them, considering that these people should all be original residents, then if that's the case, shouldn't I be suspecting that he is probably a man in his 60s, or even close to 70?"

"Yes, it should be like that. Also, think about it, all the young people in this village have already left, and only he, if he were to live here long-term, it would surely arouse suspicion. So, he wouldn't do that."

"If he wouldn't do that, then our target will be even more difficult to find. Ah, ahead should be the entrance to the village. It's best if we don't drive the car further in. I'm worried that at this ti, a car entering would surely attract attention from those villagers, even though we're still unclear about its relationship with the villagers."

After hearing Anying's words, Ye Chen just nodded, and in the end, they parked the car in a small grove nearby, then drove the car directly into the grove, after which the two of them walked into the village on foot.

Because the instrunts and equipnt were quite large, they couldn't carry them at this ti, and right now, Anying only had so portable tools, which could roughly narrow down so directions.

"How is it, can you roughly lock onto a location now?"

"Through this position lock, we can roughly see it's about 300 ters east from the village entrance, and then he is precisely within this 50-ter range. When we get there, we can further investigate."

Hearing this, Ye Chen nodded. It seed that the capability of this equipnt was indeed very powerful, and without its assistance here, they might have gotten nothing and wouldn't be able to pinpoint this precise location.

The distance of 300 ters was covered quickly, and as the two of them walked into the village, all they saw were so elderly people sunbathing and smoking at their doorsteps, and so children playing amidst the trees over there.

It was as if their presence hadn't drawn much attention from these villagers. They only occasionally lifted their heads to glance at the two strangers who had arrived.

"They shouldn't suspect us, right? Or, what if soone asks us? If they ask, how should we respond?"

Anying felt quite nervous inside, having never done anything like this before, and wasn't sure how to maintain his identity in this situation.

"Don't worry. Can you tell? When we entered the village, there was a group of people sitting under that big tree, likely drinking tea and chatting. So, if we passed by without being questioned, I believe no one will ask. Besides, even if I were to find soone in the village now, I believe it shouldn't raise too much suspicion. Don't worry, there should be no problem."

Ye Chen felt quite relieved on this point, not sensing any pressing worries.

After all, what they were doing, while not entirely above board, wasn't showing any significant hurdles so far.

As they approached the location, they looked around and saw four households in total. However, two had their doors open, and two were tightly shut.

Seeing all this, Ye Chen only slightly furrowed his brow. If this person really wanted to blend in, then would he leave the door open, or should he completely seal his courtyard door?

"Looking at the situation, it's probably these 4 households. Let's head over there; we can't stay in this spot. If we do, it will easily catch their attention."

Ye Chen said, and then he and Anying walked over and sat down under a big tree within about 100 ters of the four farmhouses.

At this mont, it happened to be noon, and the sunlight was extrely strong, filtering through the tree shade, making them feel quite hot.

As they continued observing for about 10 minutes, Ye Chen saw a door of one of the farmhouses open, followed by a woman riding out on a tricycle.

On the tricycle was also a child, whose age seed to be about three years old.

"This household we can probably rule out, and even if he wanted to conceal his identity, he probably wouldn't marry here, so this one can definitely be excluded."

"Now there are only two left, one of which still has its door shut. Do you think they should open it or keep it closed?"

"I'm not sure. If he is ho, theoretically, he would have it open, unless he's not ho and keeping the door closed might also arouse suspicion from the villagers. You can see when we entered the village, most hos have their doors open."

"Yes, perhaps that's the custom here. So if he really wants to fit in, he'll need to quickly adapt to their routine."

"Hmm, do we just wait over there the whole ti?"

"There's no other way. We can only wait here, and they are probably very vigilant. If we gradually approach, it is bound to attract their attention. Also, your detector, it won't be locked onto so quickly by them, right?"

"Don't worry. After I finished detecting, I turned off the locator. Now we can only rely on our eyes to distinguish these people."

"Sigh, didn't expect to face such a situation here, but it's okay. At least now, we can basically lock down the location."

As the two of them were talking, Ye Chen noticed an elderly man with a bent posture pushing a tricycle coming from that side.
