Chapter 42 The Finale
On the night of August 8, Zhuge Yang took Xiao Jiang and stayed until the end to get off work on the pretext of sorting out the fraud case files.

This day is the Chinese Valentine's Day.

Xiao Jiang secretly held back his laughter to see how long Zhuge Yang would keep pretending.

A stack of documents on the conference table was poked together.Zhuge Yang clamped it with a dovetail clip, put it in a yellow kraft paper bag, and wound the rope twice.

"Xiao Jiang, I want to tell you something."

Xiao Jiang suddenly felt that the temperature of the air conditioner in the house seemed to be too high and it was not cooling.She fanned her increasingly hot face with the palm of her hand, pretending not to care and said, "What's the matter?"

Zhuge Yang walked out of the conference room with the paper bag, entered the captain's office, and stuffed the paper bag into the drawer.He didn't look at Xiao Jiang who was following behind him, and said casually: "I'm going to see the master later. Do you want to go with me?"

Xiaojiang's palm suddenly stopped, and there was an unexpected clicking sound from his wrist.

On Chinese Valentine's Day, go to the cemetery and see the master?
Zhuge Yang didn't seem to think anything was wrong. Instead, he said matter-of-factly: "I know it's a bit strange to see the master at night. You are a girl, so it's normal to be scared. I just want to go tonight. There are some things that I can't bear to see the master tomorrow." explain."

"Who says I'm scared?" Xiao Jiang crossed his arms across his chest and raised his chin. "I'm Jiang Boxong. There's nothing in this world that I'm afraid of."

Zhuge Yang stood face to face with her, also crossing his arms across his chest. "Then are you going?"

"Go, I haven't seen Captain Chen for a long time. Let's go."

Almost as soon as Xiao Jiang turned around and took the first step, Zhuge Yang's tense expression spread instantly.He bit his lip tightly to keep from laughing.

Subconsciously touched his trouser pocket and hurried to follow.

Driving my black Hyundai, I stopped in front of a Malatang food stall.

"It's too late to eat, let's pack some Mala Tang and eat it on the road." Zhuge Yang unlocked the car door and motioned to Xiao Jiang to get out of the car and buy it.

Xiaojiang was so angry that he had not yet digested the emotion of going to visit the tomb during the Chinese Valentine's Day. He was holding the seat belt with both hands and had no intention of getting out of the car to run errands.

Zhuge Yang was serious. "Xiao Jiang, you said that when the nursery rhyme murder case is solved, you will treat me to spicy hotpot. What, you, Jiang Bohong, don't keep your word?"

Xiao Jiang was so angry.He unbuckled his seat belt without much movement, and when he opened the door, he didn't forget to check to see if anyone was passing behind the rearview mirror before he opened the door and stepped out.

The moment the door closed, Zhuge Yang shouted: "If you want three copies, don't forget my master."

boom.

The car door slammed shut, making Zhuge Yang feel sorry for his car door for a while.

Ten minutes later, Xiao Jiang got into the car with three packages of Malatang.The vehicle started and headed all the way to Chang'an Cemetery.

In the cemetery, the dark tombstones are neatly arranged. In the night, they don't look weird but look more solemn.

Xiao Jiang thought he would be afraid, but when he stood in front of Dui Chen's tombstone and looked at the black and white photo, all he had left was nostalgia.

Three spicy yellow bowls were placed on the marble platform in front of the tombstone. Zhuge Yang sat down and murmured: "Master, we are here to see you."

"It's been a long time since I've had dinner with you. Let's have some spicy hotpot with us today." With that said, Zhuge Yang picked up one of the dishes.

He picked up a piece of fish tofu with a bamboo skewer, put it into his mouth and chewed it twice. "Don't look at it, I'm quite busy now. I eat on time every time, so you don't have to worry. Also." He took out three pieces of prawn candy from his trouser pocket and placed them in front of the tombstone. "I brought you this, wedding candy."

The cylindrical candy wrapped in red candy wrapper that he had just put down was shaking. Xiao Jiang looked at it strangely, then lowered his head and stuffed a king oyster mushroom into his mouth.Zhuge Yang finished the bowl of spicy soup quickly. He raised his hand to brush the dust on the tombstone, leaned over and whispered something, but Xiao Jiang didn't hear it clearly.

The two bid farewell to Wang Chen and walked to the parking lot with their empty bowls.

The empty bowl was originally in Zhuge Yang's hand, but instead of throwing it away when he passed the trash can, he handed it to Xiao Jiang and asked her to throw it away.

Xiaojiang curled his lips, took it anyway, and turned around to throw away the trash.

Zhuge Yang ran to the trunk and stood in a few strides, restraining all expressions.

"What's wrong with you? Are you in a bad mood after meeting Captain Chen?" Xiao Jiang didn't notice anything was wrong, and he went over to ask worriedly.The moment she finished speaking and stood in front of Zhuge Yang, the black trunk suddenly opened.

The pink balloon popped up, startling Xiao Jiang, and he instinctively jumped away.

Zhuge Yang quickly grabbed the balloons tied together and sent them to Xiao Jiang. "Why are you running? I gave it to you."

There seemed to be the sound of cicadas chirping and the sound of leaves flapping around.Xiao Jiang covered his mouth in disbelief and did not pick up the bunch of balloons.

Zhuge Yang forced the balloon into her hand forcefully, grabbed a handful of red roses from the trunk and stuffed them into Xiao Jiang's arms. Then he knelt down on one knee and took out the silver diamond ring from his trouser pocket.

All the processes seemed to have been rehearsed many times in my mind without any pause, regardless of Xiao Jiang's expression.

He held up the diamond ring and said proudly: "Jiang Boxong, I like you, please be my wife." He paused and then said: "I, Zhuge Yang, promise that after marriage I will treat you as always, respect you and love you, everything." All the wages belong to you. You have the final say on all the big and small things at home. Even if you hit me, I won’t fight back.”

Xiao Jiang laughed and cried at the same time. Finally, he glanced sideways at the solemn cemetery and said: "Zhuge Yang, there is something wrong with you. Propose in the cemetery."

Zhuge Yang seemed to be turning into a rogue at this moment, and without waiting for Xiao Jiang to say yes, he stood up, took her hand, and put the diamond ring on her ring finger. "Anyway, I just told the master that you have to get married if you don't want to. You can't let me lie to the master."

Xiao Jiang chuckled, looked down at the diamond ring, and called him a scoundrel.

The two hugged each other tightly, not knowing who hugged the other first.Or maybe, they are running towards each other at the same time.

The cicadas around were getting louder and louder, like a crowd of onlookers applauding the two of them.

After a long time, Zhuge Yang suddenly said: "What I just said is that I listen to you at home. When assigning tasks in the bureau, you still have to listen to me."

Xiao Jiang pushed the person away, and pulled his blushing face. "You are a straight man, I won't marry you."

"It's not okay if you don't get married. I've already put on the ring."

"Hey, don't pick it. It's a waste of time. It's hard to find if it's lost."

The two were making a fuss when a security guard came over with a flashlight, shouting who they were and what they were doing.

Zhuge Yang signaled to get in the car quickly and slip away quickly.But Xiao Jiang smiled slyly, and shouted in the direction where the security guards were running: "Marriage proposal from the cemetery, haven't you seen it?"

Xiao Jiang was pushed into the car together with the balloons and roses in his arms, and the black car slipped out of the parking lot of the cemetery as if fleeing for his life.

Vaguely, you can also hear hearty laughter wrapped in the sound of wind from the background sound of cicadas.
