Hi

We narrowed it down to four towns up here-at least we think that's the case. We've cleared two of them and we're heading to a third now.

Hi
So they're not certain whether there are only four towns in that vicinity?
They narrowed the search to four towns, but there could be more.
Am I right?

They think that the person they are looking for is in one of four towns but they are not certain. There may be may towns in the vicinity but they are only searching 4 at the moment in the hope that this person is in one of them.
