My Unexpected CEO Wife

Chapter 728: Chen Xuan's High-IQ Deduction

Chen Xuan looked at the person in charge, "You can call the police now and first take control of Liu An."

The person in charge grimaced, "Mr. Chen, forgive me for speaking bluntly, but this is merely your personal speculation."

"Calling the police and arresting someone without solid evidence could be a mistake... I can't take responsibility! I'd better consult President Lin first, I don't dare to rashly call the police and arrest Liu An."

Chen Xuan shook his head slightly and called Jin Jiu, "Bring people immediately to find a man named Liu An. I'll send you a photo in a moment."

"It's best to look around the station, and as soon as you find him, bring him to me at once."

"Understood." Jin Jiu responded and immediately followed the instructions.

Chen Xuan then called Lin Wanxi, "Wanxi, how are the injuries of those six workers?"

"Well, I've just checked on them. The injuries are not light, but fortunately, there is no life-threatening risk."

"However, they will need to recuperate in the hospital for a period of time."

"Okay, if there's nothing else, please return to the construction site as soon as you can, I have some investigation results here." Chen Xuan said softly.

"Alright, I'll head back immediately."

After the call, Lin Wanxi and Yang Leshan left the hospital and rushed to the construction site with the fastest speed.

Inside the prefab office.

The person in charge reported to Lin Wanxi, "Mr. Chen is adamant that Liu An is the perpetrator of this accident, but I can't make a decision, I'm waiting for President Lin to make a judgment."

Hmm?

Lin Wanxi stared blankly at Chen Xuan, "You're so confident?"

Chen Xuan nodded, "Let's go to the accident site, and I'll explain to you."

"This is not my speculation, but a conclusion I've deduced from comprehensive analysis."

Lin Wanxi and others followed Chen Xuan to the scaffolding.

"Look, the scaffolding tilted and collapsed because the screws in this place became loose."

Yang Leshan casually remarked, "This alone doesn't explain much."

"It could also be that the workers were careless during installation and didn't tighten the screws, leading to them loosening."

Chen Xuan chuckled, "Leshan, you're being too presumptuous."

"If it were carelessness, not tightening the screws, the bolts wouldn't fall out."

"The entire scaffolding might twist or deform slightly, and be less firm, but it would never tilt and collapse."

"Only by pulling out the bolts at critical points, would the scaffolding collapse when workers climbed it."

"It's very clear that this is a human-induced safety accident!"

Lin Wanxi nodded slightly, agreeing with Chen Xuan's statement, "But this still doesn't directly prove it's related to Liu An."

Chen Xuan chuckled, "There are three bases for judgment! Let's start with the first one, he suddenly asked for leave during lunch and a safety accident occurred when the work resumed in the afternoon."

"It might also be a coincidence, you can't just conclude that Liu An tampered with something based on this." Yang Leshan replied again.

Chen Xuan waved his hand with a smile, "Let me finish, this point alone indeed doesn't provide sufficient evidence, there's the possibility of coincidence, but Liu An also has the suspicion of committing the crime."

"Now, let's talk about the second point. At noon, after work, Liu An supposedly pretended to make a phone call and deliberately walked last. After everyone left, he took the opportunity to make his move!"

"Regarding this point, the three co-workers who are on good terms with him can provide testimony."

The person in charge responded casually, "Hmm, Mr. Chen didn't say wrong about this. I already asked those three, and they can prove this point."

"When I called Liu An just now, it showed that it was turned off."

Lin Wanxi and Yang Leshan's expressions were hesitant, "Although there are indeed many suspicious signs about Liu An, we still can't fully determine that it's him."

"If we make a mistake, the impact would be very bad! Unwarranted suspicion of a worker would cause negative effects!"

Chen Xuan chuckled lightly, "Don't worry, I have one last piece of evidence, and it's the reason I specifically called you to the scene."

"Leshan, could you help estimate the height from the ground of the problematic area?"

Yang Leshan glanced roughly, "About one and a half meters, I guess."

Chen Xuan nodded with a smile, "Hmm, that's quite accurate."

"What's Liu An's height?"

"A little over one-sixty centimeters, not reaching one-seventy, I'd say." The person in charge responded.

Chen Xuan smiled slightly, "Alright, it's very clear now!"

"We can simulate the situation on-site; suppose I am Liu An, trying to loosen bolts while no one is paying attention, I would definitely be nervous!"

"So, while doing this, he must constantly watch his surroundings to avoid being caught. Under such circumstances, he wouldn't bend down to remove the bolts, nor would he raise his hands too high."

"What's the most comfortable way while still being able to pay attention around and react accordingly? The answer is to have your hands placed above your chest, almost near the chin."

"You can try it yourself, loosening the bolts with your hands at this position, you don't need to bow or bend over, you can maintain a normal stance. You can also easily turn your neck to observe your surroundings."

Chen Xuan glanced at everyone, "From this angle of analysis, Liu An is about one meter seventy tall."

"And the loose bolt's location is just about one meter fifty from the ground. It's a head's distance, roughly twenty centimeters, from Liu An's height!"

"Putting it all together, we can deduce that Liu An is the prime suspect! I can't say a hundred percent, but at least it's up to ninety-nine percent certainty!"
