"Then how was it with that other old guy?" "Mr. Yagami." "Please translate that sentence into Japanese." "Yes. he was immersed in beatitude." "Very good." "a perfect answer." "class is dismissed." "It's finally over." "School sure is boring." "Light!" "are you listening to me?" "Don't talk to me." "Others can hear my voice when I talk unlike yours." "You're so boring." "Light!" "We're going to go" "I have something to do." "You don't have anything to do." "Aren't you just going home like you usually do?" "What are you talking about?" "I have something to do." "Something very important." "Yamada is suspected of stabbing a fellow employee in the abdomen yesterday." "The knife was from the restaurant and was roughly twelve inches long." " Hey!"

"He waits to tell me that crucial detail now?" "Damn Shinigami!" "Light?" "Hm?" "It's nothing." "what exactly don't you understand?" "umm..." "I think everything. there have been 52 deaths just this past week." "They all had heart attacks." "They're all criminals who were wanted or being held in prison." "There are probably other criminals whose deaths are still unaccounted for." "Does that mean the death toll could easily be over a hundred?" "Chief...we've already started." "I know." "I had a call from headquarters." "At any rate... they were all criminals who probably would have been executed." "Perhaps we shouldn't concern ourselves..." "How stupid!" "It doesn't matter if they're criminals or on death row." "Killing them is murder." "We aren't even sure that they were murdered." "There's no way over 100 people could have heart attacks at the same time!" "It has got to be murder." "Is it even possible to kill that many people at the same time?" "We believe that a large organization carefully orchestrated these killings." "I can't help but think that the FBI or CIA is involved." "I dare you to say that again!" "now." "Let's stop joking around. or strange coincidences." "But don't all the autopsy reports say that the deaths were caused by inexplicable heart attacks?" "I don't see what else can be learned from just the way they died." "That's right!" "It would be worth looking into if they were stabbed with knives!" "we'll just have to have L solve this!"

"Something like that." "But isn't L an arrogant individual who'll only take on cases he's interested in?" "That's right." "We can't even contact him." "L is already involved." "L is already investigating this case." "Huh?" "Watari?" "Watari?" "He's the only man who can contact L." "Watari's identity is also unknown..." "Please be silent." "L will now speak." "Members of the ICPO..." "I am L." "Light?" "can't they?" "I can't just walk around with something this dangerous." "I thought that if my family saw the notebook..." "I could pass it off as a record of cases which I'm using to study to become a detective." "But I'm walking a fine line right now." "I might end up killing... my own family." "This case is unprecedented in scope and difficulty because... it involves more people than any other case has before." "It is also an unforgivable crime of serial murder. to cooperate fully." "I want you to decide whether you'll support me at this conference." "Also..." "I strongly desire to work with the Japanese Police." "Huh?" "W-Why Japan? there's a strong possibility they're Japanese." "they are hiding in Japan." "What grounds do you have for your claims?" "Why Japan?" "I think I can show you very soon by directly confronting the culprit." "A direct confrontation?" "I would like set up headquarters in Japan." "That was pretty easy to make..." "Hmm?" "Does that mean you were able to hide the notebook?" "in this drawer." "Does that count as a hiding place?" "You left the key in the lock." "That's fine." "It's better that I intentionally left the key in a noticeable place." "It's just a regular diary..." "Most people will probably be satisfied with the secrets of this drawer... after reading this diary." "But..." "The real key... is this." "There's nothing suspicious about having one of these on my desk." "It's just a regular ballpoint pen." "I'll use the ink cartridge." "That's the key?" "Yeah." "On the back of the drawer... there's a small hole that's hard to notice if you don't look closely." "You put this in the hole." "I see." "It's got a false bottom." "so I doubt anyone will find it." "That's not all. there would be no way that they could take the notebook." "You see... and stops the flow of electricity in the circuit. this piece of rubber also stops the flow of electricity. gasoline in thin plastic bags will ignite at that moment and... the notebook will instantly be set aflame." "All evidence will be completely destroyed." "That's how it's set up." "l didn't want anyone to see my real diary." "It's a believable excuse." "after all. the biggest problem they have is finding a good place to hide it." "you're probably the first to go this far." "But that setup is really dangerous. you could be badly burned." "Ryuk." "I've been putting myself in danger from the very beginning." "Ever since I first got a hold of the Death Note." "this is hardly dangerous." "quite the opposite." "It protects me." "Which is better?" "or being executed? who was detained for armed robbery... is reported to have died of a heart attack." "bizarre deaths of prisoners..." "That's amazing..." "Bad guys just keep dying." "but it does feel great." "we really can't do anything bad." "I wonder if the police are behind it." "The police don't have that kind of power." "Don't you know about him?" "Huh?" "About who?"

"it's the right thing to say." "Humans must put up a front like that in public." "But their true feelings are there. where one can remain anonymous..." "Kira is already thriving."
