Chapter 72 Frame-up



Yi Yami waved her hand, and Hongju came out with Yi Lao Da and his wife.

"Mr. Mayor, Mr. County Magistrate, my husband and I can testify for our shopkeeper Yi that this is not our egg burger." Boss Yi said in a loud voice.

"If you say it's not, then it's not!" Wang Deli said in a heavier tone.

"My husband and I have evidence to prove it!" Boss Yi took out two iron pots from the kitchen as Hongju had just said.

"Please look everyone, these are the two special iron pans that Manager Yi gave to my husband and me when he taught us how to make egg burgers." Boss Yi and Jiang Yue showed the iron pans to everyone.

There was a Yi Ji logo printed inside the iron pot. When everyone saw it, they became worried for Yi Yami. Wasn’t there any way out?

"Open your eyes and look, isn't that printed with Yi Ji?" Wang Deli said angrily.

"Mr. Mayor, it is true that the name of our iron pot is printed on it, but what makes it different is that there is a special character printed on it." Boss Yi pointed to the small R mark on the upper right corner of Yi Ji and said.

Yao Wenyuan picked up the iron pot and saw that there was indeed a small unique character on it.

"Adults can check if there is a small logo on my egg burger. Then they can compare it with that egg burger to clearly know whether it is my egg burger." Yiyami proposed a solution.

"Someone, come here and bring it over for comparison." Yao Wenyuan waved his hand.

Not only Yao Wenyuan was comparing, but the customers who ordered the egg burgers were also carefully looking at the surface of the egg burgers to see if there were any special characters.

"It's true! There is a special character on the egg burger I ordered, and I can't understand it." A customer said in surprise.

"Let me see, mine is there too!" After hearing this, the other customers also went to look at their egg burgers.

"Usually, we just focus on eating and don't care whether there are words on it or not!" said a customer with a smile.

After comparing them, Yao Wenyuan discovered that the poisoned egg burger did not have the same special characters on it. He immediately declared, "This egg burger has nothing to do with Yi Ji. The owner is not guilty."

Yi Lao Da and Jiang Yue looked at Yi Ya Mi happily, their admiration for her growing even stronger. She had thought of implementing this anti-counterfeiting feature before. It was really a close call. If they had set up a stall on their own, they would have been ripped off. They wouldn't know what to say!

"Now that things have come to this, Manager Yi is innocent." Wang Deli said reluctantly.

"Come here, come with me to catch the murderer somewhere else." Wang Deli made a gesture to leave the scene.

"Mayor Wang, I know who the murderer is." Yi Yami saw that he was about to leave and didn't want to let him go.

Wang Deli stared into her eyes. "Who is it?"

"The owner of Heji next door." Yi Yami said word by word.

At this time, the shopkeeper of Heji next door was watching the excitement at the door. He originally wanted to see Yi Yami being taken away and the guests dispersed, but he didn't expect Yi Yami to easily resolve the situation. When he heard Yi Yami say this, he immediately frowned, and then remembered that he had someone destroy the body and disappeared, so he shouted boldly, "Shopkeeper Yi, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want! You are slandering me, do you know that?"

"We'll know whether it's slander or not once we investigate." Yi Yami said, staring into Manager He's eyes.

"Mayor Wang, aren't you going to investigate?" Yao Wenyuan looked at Wang Deli who was silent on the side and reminded him.

"Check, check, check! We must check. Come on, search He Ji's kitchen and bring me their iron pots." Wang Deli ordered.

Yao Wenyuan waved his hand and sent someone to go with him.

After a while, the yamen runners who went out to do business came back with two iron pots.

I saw that the shape of the iron pot was very similar to that of Yi Ji.

But the characters inside are different. The characters inside are not Yi Ji, but He Ji.

Yi Yami looked at the similar iron pot and immediately had an idea in his mind. "Your Excellency, County Magistrate, I request to investigate that blacksmith. Because I told that blacksmith that without my permission, no one else can make an iron pot like this. But He Ji is now making an iron pot similar to mine, which means that the blacksmith has violated our contract, and it is possible that the blacksmith helped He Ji make a pot like ours."

Yao Wenyuan waved his hand and someone went out immediately.

After a while, someone brought the blacksmith over.

When the blacksmith saw so many people, including the mayor and the county magistrate, he knelt on the ground trembling.

"I wonder what I have done wrong?" the blacksmith asked.

"Blacksmith Cao, I told you that you cannot make this iron pot for others without my permission. You have violated our contract." Yiyami said to him calmly.

"Shopkeeper Yi...Alas, I have no choice! Shopkeeper He came to me with a lot of money, and he is also my wife's distant cousin. It is impossible for me not to help him. Really, Shopkeeper Yi, I swear I will only serve the He family." When the blacksmith saw the yamen runner holding the He family's pot, he realized that the matter was exposed, and said a little anxiously.

"Hmph, a traitor." Yiyami snorted coldly.

"Blacksmith Cao, let me ask you, have you ever made a pot for He Ji called Yi Ji?" Yao Wenyuan said.

Cao the blacksmith glanced at Shopkeeper He, who was blinking at him. He didn't know whether to say anything or not.

"Tell the truth. If you don't, you will be charged with harboring a criminal and will go to jail." Yao Wenyuan said.

"I, you, have never done that..." said Cao the blacksmith, gritting his teeth.

"Sir, these are the blueprints we found in Cao the blacksmith's house." Yao Wenyuan's yamen runners handed in a few blueprints from outside.
