615: Chapter 608: People of Holmsney 615: Chapter 608: People of Holmsney Speaking in unison is easy to witness, but for two people to start talking at the same moment and then say the exact same thing word for word is quite rare.
After finishing, Uriyangko and Polovich couldn’t help but laugh out loud, and Gao Yang also laughed, “You two really are worthy of being colleagues and good friends, such a perfect understanding.”
Gao Yang was also in a very good mood, he raised his head and smiled, “So, did you find anything on the body this time?”
Uriyangko hadn’t even come out yet, he just placed a handgun at Gao Yang’s feet and said, “Found on a body, great stuff, definitely not something a poor mercenary from Russia could afford.”
The handgun was a Browning 1935 high-power pistol, an old model but still very much alive, equipped by many countries’ armies, and even now, a few British forces still use this model.
The pistol was considered great because its grip plates were made of ivory, and it had a name engraved on it.
There were no inscriptions like the manufacturer’s name on the barrel sleeve, and one could tell from the workmanship that it was not mass-produced.
The handgun was undoubtedly custom-made, but whether it was mass-produced and then modified, or handcrafted from the start, was unclear.
As Gao Yang kept examining the handgun, Uriyangko, dissatisfied, called out, “Hey, you two, pull me up first, or if not, at least clear the way, please?
I’m almost getting suffocated in this damn tank!”
After Gao Yang and Polovich each took a hand to pull Uriyangko out, they were immediately repelled by an awful stench, and Gao Yang almost missed his step and fell.
Steadying himself, Gao Yang waved his hand in front of his nose a couple of times, just as he saw Glolov crawling out of another tank.
He immediately shouted, “Hey, Big Dog, great stuff, come and take a look.”
Uriyangko, looking miserable, said, “Looks like I need to find a way to take a bath and change my clothes, good thing I wasn’t wearing a suit, or my loss would have been huge.”
Ignoring Uriyangko, who cared more about money than life and didn’t mind the dirt, Gao Yang said, “Since you’ve already seen it, let’s get out of here quickly, no matter what, this place is too dangerous.”
Jumping down from the tank first, Gao Yang immediately ran over to Glolov, handed him the pistol, and urgently asked, “Look, do you know this person, Harrison Holman?
Is he from the Holmesny Corps?”
The name Gao Yang mentioned was engraved on the gun.
Glolov looked at it twice and then shook his head, “I haven’t heard of this name, actually I’m also clueless about who is in Holmesny, they’re very secretive.
But, I think the owner of this gun is definitely not one of those Russian tankers, they wouldn’t buy such good guns.”
Glolov and Uriyangko, seeing the bodies of their compatriots, seemed utterly unfazed.
But that’s not surprising, after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, many Russians went on to become mercenaries.
As enemies, they often encountered each other, and God knows how many they had personally killed, so of course, they would not feel anything just because the dead were also Russian.
Gao Yang looked at Uriyangko and Polovich, then said, “Ask those two, maybe they know.”
Uriyangko was well-connected, and Polovich probably was no different.
Glolov thought it made sense, and immediately raised the pistol, asking the two men, “Have you guys heard of Harrison Holman?”
After thinking for a moment, Polovich frowned and then shook his head, “Never heard of him.”
Uriyangko also shook his head and said, “I don’t recognize him, it might be a fake name, or it might be his real name while I only know his fake name.
This is common.
Hmm, I think if you want to inquire about someone, you should ask Justin.”
Gao Yang clapped his hands and said, “Right, I’ll just ask him and find out.
You guys chat, I’ll make a call.”
As Glolov and the others were talking in a foxhole, Uriyangko smoked up the area enough to suffocate both him and Polovich, while Gao Yang was in a nearby foxhole on the phone with Justin.
Once Justin answered the phone, Gao Yang immediately said, “I’m not calling for anything else, just tell me quickly, do you know a person named Harrison Holman?”
After a moment of silence, Justin said, “I remember someone with the last name Holman, it’s quite an uncommon last name, but I can’t remember right now.
Wait, let me think.
What features does the person you’re asking about have?
I mean, do you know anything about his nationality or profession?”
Gao Yang immediately said, “He should be British, possibly a mercenary.”
“Should be!
Possibly!
Ha, your information is really precise.
Let me think, British, oh, I remember now, Harrison Holman, used to be an SAS sniper, then he joined the Holmesny Mercenary Corps, seems to have been a squad commander.
I’m not too sure about that, but he should be around fifty-five now, with saffron-colored hair and a very sharp chin.
If the person you’re describing matches the features I mentioned, then it’s him.
This is a guy who uses his real name as a mercenary, an arrogant yet truly skilled guy.
I heard about his name and his affairs many years ago, and I have some impression of him.
What do you want with him?”
As expected, Gao Yang chuckled lightly and said, “Nothing much, just asking, thanks for telling me all this.
Never mind, if you don’t have any information you need to tell me, I’m hanging up.”
“Wait a moment, my friend.
That conversation just now is worth five thousand US dollars because it’s outside the scope of your current intelligence package.
I need to charge extra.
If what I said is useful to you, please transfer the money to my account, thank you.”
Gao Yang reluctantly said, “You, never mind, I’ll pay you.”
Even talking to a lawyer is charged by the hour, and talking to an intelligence dealer, especially when you’ve actually gotten something useful, paying is only fair.
So Gao Yang didn’t plan on evading the payment.
Dodging payment over such a small amount could impact his credibility.
After hanging up the phone, Gao Yang immediately shouted to Glolov in the next foxhole, “Good news, he is indeed from Holmesny, British, came out of SAS.
Bad news, you have to fork out five thousand for this information.”
Glolov was extremely focused on the information that cost five thousand US dollars, but completely indifferent to the money itself.
After vigorously waving his hand, he said with a hint of hatred, “Good, that means there are at least seven people, should be no mistake, hope it’s right!”
Uriyangko patted Glolov on the shoulder, said solemnly, “Congratulations, it seems your time for revenge has come.”
Glolov nodded and said, “Thanks, hey, Uri, before you wash your hands, could you not touch me?
Your hands are really dirty and smelly.”
Uriyangko shrugged and pointing to the handgun Glolov was holding, said, “Could you give that back to me?
I found it enduring the foul stench.”
Glolov smiled and slipped the handgun into his pocket, saying, “This is the enemy’s gun, I’ve kept it as a trophy.”
