As a local policeman, is it appropriate for you to take over the job of a criminal policeman?

......

Niu Xiaowei woke up early this morning because the wound on his stomach was accidentally pulled. He slept very uneasily last night. He kept dreaming that his grandfather and mother came to him, whimpering and crying, and no one knew what they were saying.

In the morning, the nurse brought him breakfast, which was liquid food because he had an abdominal injury and could not eat hard food.

Looking at the bland thing in front of him, he frowned and thought to himself, I'm going to have a good rest after I get out of the hospital.

Just after eight o'clock, the doctor came to check on me. After a brief examination, Niu Xiaowei asked anxiously, "Doctor, when can I be discharged from the hospital?"

"You were stabbed in the stomach, why are you in such a hurry to be discharged from the hospital? Aren't you afraid of the wound getting infected? Wait another week." The attending doctor said lightly. Someone asked him this question every day, dozens of people asked at the same time. He was tired of hearing it.

"I...my parents are about to be buried, and I have to go out to take care of the funeral affairs." Niu Xiaowei thought of a reason.

Hey, the attending doctor stopped, he forgot that there was a special situation in the person’s family. Both his parents were killed and the funeral has not been held yet.

As the old saying goes, death is the greatest thing.

So, he turned around and carefully examined Niu Xiaowei again, "If you want to be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible, you can be discharged in two days after confirming that there is no infection. You just need to come here regularly to change the dressing."

"Two days!" Niu Xiaowei was overjoyed, "Okay, okay, then I'll be discharged from the hospital in two days."

Just as he was overjoyed, a cold voice came from outside the door, "No need, you can't get out."

Ye Lin walked in from outside with dark circles under his eyes, followed by Chief Li and two policemen in uniform. The four of them stood at the door of the ward with serious faces, intimidating the doctors who were making rounds.

Niu Xiaowei looked at Ye Lin in astonishment, not knowing what he meant, so he could only ask, "Officer Ye? Is there any progress in my parents' case?"

"Yes, we have identified the murderer." Ye Lin said calmly.

Niu Xiaowei showed a shocked expression on his face and asked, "Who killed my parents?"

The attending physician wanted to leave at first, but when he heard that the murderer had been caught, he stopped and wanted to listen. After all, gossip is something everyone wants to hear.

"Not only did we find the murderer, we also found the gold." Ye Lin gestured to the back.

A policeman took out a small bag from behind his back, opened it with a swish, and revealed the contents.

There were more than a dozen pieces of packaged investment gold.

Niu Xiaowei's face showed panic, but he quickly regained his composure and said in fake surprise: "That's it. Thank you, police comrades, for finding it so quickly."

"Don't you want to know where we found it?" Ye Lin asked indifferently.

Niu Xiaowei was stunned for a moment, and asked awkwardly: "Oh, yes, where did you find it?"

Ye Lin sneered, "Where do you think we found it?"

"I...how should I know? I've been in the hospital the whole time."

The attending doctor noticed that the atmosphere of the conversation seemed a little off. He looked at Ye Lin blankly, and then said, "Comrade police officer, the patient is indeed hospitalized for the past two days. We have a nurse watching over him."

Ye Lin raised his hand, signaling the doctor not to speak.

"Then let me tell you, this gold was found in your fish tank. Do you know why?"

"Because you were so busy throwing the fish away that you didn't notice there was fish food in the feeder."

Niu Xiaowei's expression became visibly nervous. He answered in a trembling voice: "I really don't know. I was knocked unconscious and stabbed. The thief was too cunning. He didn't even take the gold away."

Ye Lin looked at him coldly and said, "This thief is not too cunning, but too inhumane. He is so inhumane that he even killed his own parents!"

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone present. The doctor and fellow patients looked at Niu Xiaowei. Did he kill his own parents?

"No, I didn't. I was knocked unconscious and stabbed. The doctor can prove it. I almost died." Niu Xiaowei asked for help from the attending doctor next to him.

"Don't try to quibble. Take a look at what this is first." Ye Lin motioned to another policeman to bring over a black plastic bag.

Before it was opened, Niu Xiaowei's body went limp and he collapsed on the hospital bed with fright.

"You know what this is, right? This is the leather shoe you wore when you committed the crime. We examined it and found your parents' blood on it."

"You keep saying that you were knocked unconscious when you walked in, then why are your shoes stained with the blood of both your parents?"

Faced with Ye Lin's harsh questioning, Niu Xiaowei's expression gradually became numb and he didn't know how to answer.

"As for the knife wound you mentioned, according to you, the murderer knocked you unconscious and then stabbed you. But I've read the autopsy report and the wound was from top to bottom. Whether you were standing or lying down, the murderer would not have stabbed you like this."

"So, you stabbed yourself. You wanted to create the illusion of a fourth person and stabbed yourself lightly. But you were drunk and you got dizzy and fell down. The knife went in a little too deep and you passed out."

"You directed and acted all of this yourself, right?" Ye Lin finally asked loudly.

Niu Xiaowei had completely collapsed. With all the evidence in front of him, he had no way of making excuses.

"Yes, I did it. But it's the damn old man's fault for not giving me money. I owed the loan shark and I will be beaten to death if I don't pay it back." Niu Xiaowei screamed hysterically.

"So, I went back home at night to steal the money, but the damn old man was not asleep. He got up and hit me with something, scolding me while beating me. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I picked up the fruit knife on the table and stabbed him to death."

"Then my mother came out. She didn't help me. She even said she would call the police." The expression on Niu Xiaowei's face gradually distorted.

"Call the police, I'm done for if they call the police. I told my mother no, but she refused. So I wasn't polite and I stabbed her twice. She's done for, too. Hahaha." Niu Xiaowei said while laughing crazily.

Such an ending was really beyond the expectations of everyone present.

"So you pretended to stab yourself in order to cover up your crime." Ye Lin continued to ask.

"Yes, am I cruel enough? I never thought I was so cruel." Niu Xiaowei began to cry, feelings of regret and guilt surged up in his heart.

"I buried the gold in the sand of the fish tank, and then I saw the fish were still fiddling with the sand. I was afraid that it would be exposed, so I flushed the fish into the toilet."
