Chapter 140: The Continental Hotel in New York
The next morning, at the New York airport, William followed Ginny and Amanda out of the airport, the charter flight he ordered was a medium-sized private jet, William got on the plane first and stayed in the small guest room of the plane, Ginny and Amanda followed the flight attendant's instructions and stayed on the sofa in the living room of the charter flight.
From a distance, Brian and his ex-wife Linor were seen standing at the exit of the plane.
When Ginny and Amanda saw their parents, they happily pulled their luggage and rushed up, and the group hugged and cried for a while.
William waved at Brian, he didn't come forward to meet Brian's relatives and friends, Brian also knew that William didn't want to know everyone in this situation, so he gave William a thumbs up and nodded.
William got into the Bentley he had ordered yesterday and went to Fifth Avenue after going through security on the captain's behalf, and he wanted to meet Winston first to see what the killer had to say to him.
When I arrived at the Continental Hotel, I paid and got off, William looked up and saw the Continental Hotel in front of him like an iron, the hotel design is really special, the designer's brain is really big, 100 years ago, he designed and built such a peculiar shape of the building 87 meters high.
Under the leadership of the hotel waiter, I walked into the hotel lobby, and the furnishings in the hotel lobby were still quite backward, and it had not been renovated for more than ten or twenty years.
Looking at the people sitting in the lobby of the hotel, with his extraordinary sensory intuition, William knew that more than 9 percent of the dozens of people sitting in the lobby had a faint smell of blood on their bodies, and these guys were definitely killers.
William was a little surprised in his heart, the Continental Hotel was really blatant, so many killers were sitting here in such a grand manner, not afraid of revealing their identities? Or did these people not care if their identities would be exposed.
But in a blink of an eye, William understood that in modern society, the police must have evidence to arrest people or be caught by the police at the scene, and even if the police know that these people are killers, there is no way to arrest people directly.
And I heard Brian say that the Continental Hotel has a history of hundreds of years, and there are several branches in Europe and the United States, and the forces behind the hotel must be intertwined in Europe and the United States, and must have their own secrets of survival.
Walking to the front of the lobby service desk, a middle-aged black man wearing glasses smiled and said, "Good morning sir, my name is Caron, how can I help you?"
William smiled and said, "Hello Caron, I'm here to find Winston, yesterday someone sent me a message saying that he wanted me to come here to meet him, you can tell him that my name is Devon Hill"
Cuarón didn't ask much, smiled and nodded, "Please wait, sir, I'll inform Winston."
Cuarón made a call, hung up and smiled, "Please come with me, Mr. Devon Hill, Mr. Winston is waiting for you at the top of the building."
Under the leadership of Caron, William walked into the elevator and looked curiously at the old-fashioned elevator in front of him before the 40s.
Caron saw William looking at the decoration in the elevator curiously, and said carefully: "Mr. Devon Hill, although this elevator is 70 years old, except for the decoration in the elevator, everything else has been modernized, and there will be no problem in safety."
William pouted, is this showing off to him the long history of the Continental Hotel? It's only been 70 years, what is there to show off, Devon Hill has the inheritance of the previous year, what is there to say about 70 years.
When I went up to the top floor, I just got out of the elevator and let William's eyes light up, but I didn't expect that the top floor was full of plants, all kinds of green plants and flowers surrounded along the perimeter of the top floor, and there was only a table and chair for 4 seats in the middle.
A middle-aged man with a South American face and a white-haired old man sat down talking to each other, and there was an open suitcase on the table, which was full of gold coins, and it looked like there were about 200 of them.
When the two saw that a guest was coming, they smiled and got up and shook hands to each other, and the white-haired old man smiled and nodded to William when he passed by.
The middle-aged man said to Caron, "Thanks, Caron, you go and do your business, I'll leave it here."
Caron nodded and said, "Yes sir."
The middle-aged man stretched out his hand and pointed to the chair to signal William to sit down first, and after sitting down, he poured William a cup of black tea and said, "My name is Winston, according to our seniority, you should call me uncle, I almost forgot how many years we haven't seen each other."
William, I still remember what you looked like when you were born, I hugged you at that time, black hair, blue eyes, small nose, small mouth, just a little ugly, I really didn't expect it to be almost 20 years in a blink of an eye"
Although William was already a little mentally prepared when he came, when he heard Winston say that he was William's uncle, he was choked by the black tea he had just drunk, covered his mouth and coughed a few times, and looked at Winston with an incredulous face.
After calming down the cough, William looked at the South American-looking guy in front of him strangely, no matter how he looked at it, they didn't seem to be related by blood.
Winston knew what William was puzzled by as soon as he looked at William's eyes, and explained: "My grandmother and Henry's mother are sisters, one of them married to England and the other to Argentina, so we don't look the same, but one thing we still have the same" After saying that, he pointed to his hair and laughed.
William also smiled politely, but to be honest, he didn't think it was funny, and suddenly a person with a South American face ran to say that he was his uncle, and he hugged him who had just been born, which made William unable to accept it at once.
"Okay, I know you don't believe me, but someone can prove that what I said is true, show you something" After saying that, he made a phone call, "help me get the password barrel in the safe"
Within a few minutes, a middle-aged woman came up with a small codecard and handed it to Winston, and after waving the middle-aged woman to leave, Winston handed the codeholder to William.
"This is what Henry gave me, you should be able to understand it when you open it"
William looked at the cipher barrel in his hand suspiciously, how can I open it without a password.
Winston saw William looking at him strangely, shrugged his shoulders "Don't look at me, I don't know the password, Henry didn't tell me the password when he gave it to me, just let me give it to you when the time is right"
The cipher barrel in his hand William could see at a glance that it belonged to Devon Hill's family, with a family crest on it, a seal, and even a secret word, these few secret words William understood what it meant after thinking about it, but he didn't hurry to open the cipher cylinder.
Instead, he asked Winston, "Why give it to me now".
Winston smiled and said: "Henry said that if you don't inherit his will when you grow up, then let you be an ordinary person, my uncle may never recognize you, but as far as I know, you not only inherited Henry's will but also far exceeded my and his expectations, I really didn't expect you to grow to this point."
You did a great job, I have been secretly observing you after Henry's death, after you were admitted to the University of London, I thought that you would get married and have children in the future, and live a safe and stable life, but I didn't expect you to cheat everyone, worthy of being Henry's successor, I think Henry will be very comforted in heaven."
William suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and hurriedly said: "So because of your protection, my mother and I can live peacefully without being disturbed for 10 years?"
