Congenital absence of both upper limbs is a very rare congenital limb deformity in clinical practice, mainly due to morphological and structural defects caused by disordered embryonic development in the first trimester.

There can be many reasons, including radiation exposure history, medication history during pregnancy, family inheritance, marriage of close relatives, environmental factors and so on.

Lin Jing's condition is not a family inheritance, because the Lin family has no family history of genetic diseases. Lin Jing's younger sister, younger brother, and cousins are all healthy and normal, without any congenital deformities. Lin Jing's parents are not close relatives, nor have they been particularly exposed to radiation. As for the history of medication during pregnancy, Lin Jing's mother said that she had taken painkillers several times in the past, and I don't know if this is the reason.

More than 20 years ago, it was still an old era, and Anfu Village was located in a remote place. Most pregnant women went to the town hospital for prenatal checkups.

Besides, at that time, there was no such perfect prenatal diagnosis and health checkup during pregnancy as it is now, so it was difficult to prevent the birth of deformed children.

"A Jing, she was born without hands... I didn't know it at first, but the nurse suddenly yelled in surprise, and then let me see it, and let me know that it was not a child who was replaced... I asked the nurse, where are the hands? , Where are his hands? The nurse said, said... he just doesn't have hands..."

Lin Jing's house is an old private house of less than 50 square meters. It has been built for decades. It has a dilapidated red brick exterior wall, a blackened wooden door, and a security door with faded green paint.

Although there are anti-theft doors installed, in fact, this kind of family has nothing to steal. Once you enter the door, you will find a cramped living room. There is a half-person-high TV cabinet in front of it. The doors of the cabinets are too broken to cover them. There is a pull down there, an old-fashioned TV on the cabinet, and a lot of messy sundries.

On both sides of the living room, there is a set of coffee table and chairs, and on the other side is a desk and storage cabinet.

All these furniture are old and rotten. I don't know whether they have been bought and used for many years, or they were originally picked up from relatives and friends.

At this time, Lin Jing's parents were sitting on the wooden chairs on both sides of the coffee table. His father, Lin Guowei, had a dark-skinned face and scratched his head from time to time. Wipe away the tears that are about to fall.

Both of them are workers working in local factories, and sometimes they also work in agriculture. Their education is not high, their income is not much, and they do a lot of work. From the appearance, both of them were much older than their actual age of less than fifty, like two old people.

Facing today's sudden situation, a room full of investigators, and the entire village alley were blocked, they couldn't adapt, and felt uneasy.

"My son, life is not good..." Chen Shengdi choked up slightly, "It's my fault that I took painkillers a few times when I was pregnant with him... Can you help us find him, I heard he was begging in Dongzhou City ..." She suddenly became excited and wanted to kneel down on the floor, "I beg of you..."

"Aunt Chen, sit down first." Gu Jun supported the middle-aged woman who had lost her child, and let her sit back on the chair, while paying attention to Lin Guowei's expression.

He seems to have caught a trace of confusion and pain on that dark face...

Before entering this room, Gu Jun had some mental reorganization.

In the words of the voice of negative selection that he first heard in the delivery room, there was a passage: "Throw those negative choices into the trash can, into the wild, into the sea, or destroy them humanely. Or let them fend for themselves."

If, that voice is Lin Jing... Or, it has something to do with Lin Jing...

"Throw it into the wild", this is the same as a rumor in the village.

Gu Jun looked at the cramped surroundings calmly again. An old dusty light green ceiling fan hung above the living room. The walls were covered with many faded cartoon stickers, New Year's celebration stickers, and some school The certificates belonged to Lin Jing's younger sister and younger brother.

There is also a photo frame on the wall beside the coffee table, displaying some photos, it seems that this has always been a family of four.

There are no photos of a single mirror in it, no individual photos, and no group photos. Lin Jing disappeared, as if he had never existed.

But if you are afraid of hurting the scene, it is not a strange thing to hide Lin Jing's photos. In some places, it is customary to tear up all the photos of deceased relatives.

"Aunt Chen, can you tell us more about what happened the day Ah Jing disappeared? Did anything strange happen before?"

Gu Jun asked, at the same time, there were many colleagues from the investigation department who were watching the couple in the room, including his old acquaintances Wang Ke and Cao Yicong.

Compared with him who just rely on feeling, Wang Ke and others have more investigation experience and skills. They can judge that Lin Guowei is weird only from capturing micro-expressions. The more they ask, the more Chen Shengdi talks. The more Lin Guowei's apprehension was exposed.

As everyone looked at each other, a deduction naturally emerged in their hearts.

Could it be that without Chen Shengdi's knowledge, Lin Guowei abandoned his eldest son Lin Jing...

But is this really the case...

"No, no, it's always been fine." Chen Shengdi's tears didn't seem fake, but also seemed to be trying to remember:

"Nothing happened, everything was fine that morning... I remember that I cooked porridge in the morning, Ah Jing had a good appetite, and drank two bowls... In the afternoon, I went to work in the field, and my sisters and younger brothers followed me, Ah Jing Jing stays at home watching TV... When we come back from the field, we won’t see him at home, and he usually goes out to play by himself, just in the village, and we don’t need to take care of him all the time. At that time, I still thought he was a Go out to play… "

At the same time, Lin Guowei's face was tense, without saying a word, he looked for a cigarette in his pocket, was about to take out one, and put it back again.

"But at night, Ah Jing didn't come back..." Chen Shengdi said that he was about to cry again, "We went out to search, we searched all over, in the village, in the fields, and in the surrounding mountains. After searching for a few days, the villagers also helped I searched and couldn't find it..."

In fact, Gu Jun has heard of this statement a long time ago, and the villagers can confirm most of it.

It's just the part that started with looking for Ah Jing in the evening. No one can tell clearly what happened that afternoon.

"I want to ask." Gu Jun said, looking at Lin Guowei, "Uncle Lin, where were you the afternoon Ah Jing disappeared?"

Lin Guowei was stunned, and was watched by Gu Jun, Wang Ke and others. These seemingly calm eyes seemed to be able to see through all lies, and they were more vicious than the factory leaders and village leaders Lin Guowei had seen.

"I..." Lin Guo hesitated to speak, his expression changed, and he tensed again, "I went out of the city that day and came back at night..."
