Chapter 19 - The Man Who Came

‎...

‎"Thank you Mouri-san, I will let you know when a new package arrives", Luna said while escorting them out of the house.

‎"Luna-san is going to have a concert soon, I want Mouri-san to protect her and be her bodyguard." Akiyama said.

‎Mouri stood proudly, "I will protect Luna-san at all costs."

‎"I'm grateful Mouri-san, ah Ran, I will send the tickets at your house, invite Sonoko, and I'm also planning to send some for Ai, the professor, and the detective boys. I do hope that you would enjoy it. Now then Akane, be sure to send them home safe okay?", Luna said.

‎"Yes...of course", Akiyama responded. "Thank you Luna-san," Ran said and waved at Luna while they were walking.

‎...

‎"Ah...Amuro-san?" Conan said with shock to see Amuro Toru come out of the elevator.

‎"Conan...and Mouri-san? What are you guys doing here?" He was also shocked.

‎"Well...I called them, but...it's nothing serious really." Akiyama nervously said. She pulled the three and whispered something, "Luna said that no one should know about the stalker, especially Amuro-san."

‎All three nodded and faced Amuro. "Yeah...we visited Luna-san to talk about her next concert, right Conan, Father?" Ran said and the two aggressively nodded.

‎Amuro looked confused and was about to ask for more information but was stopped when he heard a sound.

‎"Hey...don't tell me...?" Mouri said his eyes looked nervous. "Uncle...", Conan said and the two of them rushed to Luna's apartment.

‎"Luna-san...! It might be that stalker!!!" Akiyama shouted in a panic. Amuro frowned and whispered, "...stalker?", then he rushed behind Mouri and Conan.

‎...

‎(Few minutes before the noise)

‎Luna was about to close her door when she heard the sound of something. She looked down and saw a box with no address and with a single sticky note with X drawn on it.

‎"Isn't it too fast...he must've been here this whole time...", she whispered and glanced around her.

‎But she ignored the fact that someone was staring at her and opened the box. Inside of it was a note with another picture but she noticed that it was full of pink, small, soft, marshmallow-shaped pieces of foam. She also remembered that she heard a very distinct sound, and the package was not light.

‎She glanced around and smiled, she submerged her hand inside the box, a few seconds passed and the pink packing peanuts slowly turned red.

‎The whole box was filled with blades.

‎Luna looked in front to see a man in a black jacket, he was holding a knife, Luna looked at him calmly, she was about to talk when she felt dizzy.

‎"That box...all the blades are soaked in poison...you, how dare you betray your fans! You shattered our dreams...how dare you date someone...!!" He shouted as he rushed to her with a knife.

‎"Luna-san!!" Mouri yelled when he saw Luna losing her balance with an unknown man in front of her holding a knife.

‎Conan and Mouri shouted for her to move away, she was about to get struck...

‎Another man ran faster and countered the knife, he kicked the stalker down and caught Luna who was about to fall down.

‎"Toru...?" Luna said at the man who caught her.

‎The man looked bitter but worried.

‎Ran and Akiyama also came, Mouri held the stalker and called for the police and ambulance.
