Just as he was talking, suddenly, the doorbell of Mingzhi's house rang.
Looking through the surveillance camera outside the door and the display screen inside the house, the person who pressed the doorbell was Dr. Ali.
So, Xiao Ai and Gao Yuan stopped talking, and Gao Yuan went out to open the door and invited Dr. A Li in——
"Dr. Ali, what's the matter with your sudden visit?"
Gao Yuan couldn't help but ask after pouring a cup of room-temperature drink for Dr. Ali and putting it on the coffee table.
"That's right, I came here today mainly about the patent for the intelligent hospital bed."
As Dr. A Li said, he couldn't help but reach for the drink on the coffee table, but before he could get the cup, the drink was moved away by Xiao Ai and replaced with a glass of water and placed in front of Dr. A Li——
"Doctor, just drink water. The sugar content in the drink is too high for you."
Dr. Ali looked helpless and could only take the water with a wry smile and drink it in one gulp.
But before Dr. A Li could continue to speak, Xiao Ai couldn't help but ask:
"What patent is there for an intelligent hospital bed?"
"Oh, that's right."
When faced with the inquiry, Dr. Ali answered naturally:
"Previously, Gao Yuan envisioned a remotely controlled, intelligent hospital bed that could help patients with limited mobility and could only lie in bed, such as vegetative patients, automatically turn over and have a massage function.
"At that time, Gao Yuan already had a relatively specific idea for this idea. With the help of me, a genius inventor, we quickly made such an intelligent hospital bed and applied for a patent."
"Why?"
Xiao Ai couldn't help but be curious about this:
"Why do you suddenly want to make a hospital bed like this?"
Looking at Gao Yuan, Xiao Ai asked slightly confused.
"The main thing is that I suddenly had an idea, and the program design is not too difficult. Then there are the hardware issues. Dr. Ali happens to live next door, so I was wondering if I could make it..."
Gao Yuan looked normal and said this naturally, then looked at Dr. A Li and couldn't help but ask:
"By the way, is there something wrong with the patent?"
"no no!"
Dr. A Li smiled and waved his hand:
"There is no problem with the patent. On the contrary, a large company that manufactures medical equipment is interested in the patent of this smart hospital bed and wants to buy out the patent at once, so I came to you to discuss it! After all, this patent
It’s not my fault alone.”
Gao Yuan didn't care about this and couldn't help but say:
"If Dr. A Li wants to sell it, just sell it. Didn't we agree at the beginning that we would leave the patent to Dr. A Li?"
"Really!"
Hearing this, Dr. Ali couldn't help but smile and said proudly:
"Gao Yuan, don't worry! I will definitely be able to sell this patent at a good price. When the time comes, I will never forget your share of the money I earn!"
With that said, it seemed that he had received a satisfactory answer. Dr. Ali stood up happily, not intending to disturb Gao Yuan here anymore and preparing to leave——
"By the way, doctor, how much do you think this patent can be sold for?"
Seeing Dr. A Li's happy expression, Gao Yuan felt a little curious and couldn't help but ask.
"The initial quotation given by the large medical company is five million. I think if we discuss it further, it should be higher!"
Dr. A Li replied like this, but his mood suddenly became a little low, and he murmured in a low voice——
"But why can't my inventions be sold..."
"five million?"
Gao Yuan couldn't help but be stunned at this price -
After all, this is not a small amount.
I usually receive detective commissions at "Sandglass". If I want to earn this amount, I don't know how many cases I have to solve, and the commission fees I earn are basically only enough for daily expenses.
The only way you can really make a lot of money is to accept the entrustment from a wealthy family. Only in this way can you earn a lot of entrustment fees.
But such opportunities are few and far between.
Now, Gao Yuan can't help but feel a little excited as he can make such a fortune just by selling patents——
After all, when I first wanted to make that smart hospital bed, it was just to solve the problem of taking care of Miyano Akemi. Making money from the patent was an unexpected gain. And just in case, if I can get the patent fee now, I actually have another idea.
Plan to come true!
Thinking of this, after watching Dr. Ali leave, Gao Yuan hurriedly ran upstairs, turned on the computer, and started writing a paper.
Seeing Gao Yuan's reaction, a lot of doubts arose in Xiao Ai's heart——
Why does Gao Yuan want to make an intelligent hospital bed? No matter how he thinks about it, he can't connect this matter with the Gao Yuan he knows?
Thinking like this, Xiao Ai, who thought she knew Gao Yuan well, felt a little depressed...
…
Night, Mihuadong General Hospital, inpatient department——
"It's so boring!"
Lying on the hospital bed with a plaster on his leg and wearing a hospital gown, Mouri Kogoro stretched out, clasped his hands behind his head, and said somewhat depressedly.
"Dad, you are so."
Xiaolan on the side was cutting apples at the table next to the hospital bed. When she heard what Kogoro said, she couldn't help but say:
"You have been very busy recently, it would be nice to take some time to cultivate yourself!"
With that said, Xiaolan inserted the cut apple with her signature and fed it to Kogoro who was lying on the bed——
"Really, it's all because of me that you are so busy!"
Conan, who was sitting on a chair nearby, saw Kogoro complaining like this and thought helplessly:
"And why do you need to cultivate yourself? You are obviously sleeping every time you solve a case. I solved all those cases!"
With this thought in mind, the door to the ward opened at this moment, and a nurse walked in pushing a dining cart and said with a smile:
"You can eat now!"
"Ah, it's finally time to eat!"
Hearing this, Kogoro couldn't help but said happily, while Xiaolan conveniently placed the small dining table on the hospital bed and took the dinner from the nurse.
"It seems that the famous detective's stomach gets hungry faster than ordinary people!"
Hearing what Kogoro said, the nurse couldn't help but smile.
In response, Kogoro looked at the beautiful nurse and couldn't help but smile and responded. However, when Xiaolan placed the dinner in front of him and looked at the dinner dishes, Kogoro couldn't help but feel depressed again——
"Hey, I really want to drink a can of beer and eat sushi or something..."
"You don't look like a famous detective at all!"
Hearing this, Xiaolan couldn't help but said angrily:
"And I put you in the hospital just because I was afraid of you messing around! You have to take good care of your health, Dad!"
Watching the father and daughter bickering, the nurse on the side, Miss Zhongshan Kazumei, covered her mouth and smiled, and then said:
"However, our nursing station has been discussing these days, hoping to see the famous detective in person!"
"Ah! You angels in white are all talking about me!"
Hearing what Kazumi Nakayama said, Kogoro immediately became energetic again and said in surprise. At the same time, he looked at Kazumi Nakayama's beautiful face and figure and felt very happy——
"Yes, even I hope to have the opportunity to have a good talk with you. I will definitely learn a lot about you, great detective!"
Just as he was talking, Kogoro's attending doctor, Mitsuo Shirai, walked in and echoed.
Regarding this, Kogoro felt even more embarrassed, touched his head, and said with an awkward smile:
"Why did Dr. Shirai say that? I'm so embarrassed."
"Humph, what kind of knowledge can you gain? You'd better be careful and don't become his experimental subject, great detective!"
At this moment, another doctor Eto Shengli came in and said to Shirai angrily.
"You're so rude!"
Faced with such a conversation, Shirai's expression changed drastically and he retorted angrily.
"Oh, don't speak so harshly!"
However, Eto didn't take it seriously and continued to say with a smile:
"Great Detective, if I am killed one day, the murderer will definitely be Dr. Shirai! Hahahaha!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the ward, completely ignoring the atmosphere present, leaving everyone in the ward embarrassed——
"Who is that?"
Kogoro asked Shirai tentatively, intending to speak out to lighten the atmosphere.
"He is Dr. Eto, a surgeon like me. He and I were classmates in college. He has always been so vicious, so don't take it to heart."
With that said, Shirai and Zhongshan stopped disturbing others in the ward, turned around and left.
After Kogoro finished his dinner, after a while, the originally gloomy sky outside the window began to rain heavily——
"The rain seems to be getting heavier and heavier. It's time for us to go back, Conan."
Looking at the weather outside the window and the darkening night, Xiaolan closed the curtains and couldn't help but say.
"good!"
Conan nodded in response, and the two of them prepared to leave the hospital and go home.
At this moment, Kogoro's doctor, Shirai, walked in with a tray and said:
"Mr. Mori, although you can't drink alcohol, coffee should be fine. Oh, by the way, can you tell me more about your case-handling exploits?"
Shirai said, walked to the window and opened the curtains, then placed the coffee on the tray next to Kogoro's bed, and then put at least four or five sugar packets in one cup of coffee.
Seeing this, Conan was frightened by his move, and Kogoro began to talk endlessly about some cases he still remembered...
…
The night was getting darker, and the rain outside the window was falling. Kogoro woke up from the bed and felt a little dazed at this time——
"Hey? Where's Dr. Shirai?"
Kogoro, who had the impression that he should still be chatting with Dr. Shirai, turned to look at the alarm clock beside the bed and saw that it was already 11:30 pm——
"Hey? Why is it so late..."
Feeling a little strange, Kogoro, who was about to turn his gaze back, suddenly saw outside the window. In the hospital room opposite, lights were on, and two figures were reflected in the window opposite.
What is surprising is that the figure behind him seems to be holding something like a knife in his hand, and is stabbing the figure in front of him from behind...
