Chapter 4: L's Team

"Gentlemen, welcome", said a laptop with the letter L on the screen, "I have brought you here today because you are the best of the Area 11 police department."

"Wow, what an honor", said Matsuda, with enjoyment.

"Yes it is. I have chosen you to help me with the Kira-Zero investigation", said L.

"The Kira-Zero investigation? Why us, according to Britannia we are just dirty Elevens", said Aizawa.

"Because you know the people of Area 11 better then any Britannian police office", replied L, "I want people that can give me results. Not a nobleman's son who used his dad's money to become a police officer."

"A good decision L, I am honored to be apart of this investigation", said Mr. Yagami.

"I have full trust and faith in all of you", said L, "I looked over each of your files individually and I can say I am happy to work with such a high skill set. I am going to need all of you. As you already know Kira and Zero have probably teamed up. The two make a very hard case, but I am confident in all of you."

Matsuda smiled, finally for once someone saw him as useful and important.

"We don't have much time. We should gather as much evidence as we can against these two", said Mr. Yagami.

"I'm glad that you brought that up. I have found some evidence that may be useful for our investigation. If you pay attention to the screen on the wall, I'll send you a video that I have found", said L.

The screen behind them turned on. The gentleman took some seats and the lights turned off.

On the screen was the video taken by Diethard Ried during Zero's debut on the way to Suzaku's trail.

"We have all seen this film by a Mr. Diethard Ried, about two months ago", said L, "If we zoom in at Zero's mask we can see a slit opening on his mask. If you look closely you can see a flash of red."

Just as L said that, Zero's eye flashed red and he said something about the soldiers making sure they pass safely. Then the video speed up to where a Knightmare attacked another Knightmare.

"In the incident report it said that the pilot of that Knightmare must have had a mental break down after spending to many late nights and working too hard on cracking down on 11 resistances. When he was asked about the incident he said he did not remember anything at all. He was then demoted and forgot about by other important events", said L.

"What does this mean", asked Matsuda.

"Well, there are two other reports of lost memory in the Britannian military forces here in Area 11", continued L, "They both happened the day of Clovis's murder. Clovis's whole security staff had seemed to lose their memory as well. When asked why they left the Viceroy alone they said they had no recollection of leaving him alone. Also there was a missing Knightmare on that day. The pilot was found dazed and confused in an old warehouse with a bunch of dead Britannian soldiers who committed suicide. When asked where her Knightmare was. The solider said she did not remember."

"Are you saying that Zero has mind erasing powers?" asked Mr. Yagami.

"Not only that, but also mind control", said L, "Looking at these facts it is clear that Zero had obviously hypnotized these soldiers and made sure they forgot what happened. He must be an amazing hypnotist to get past Britannian guards and make a soldier betray his own team or kill themselves."

"This is ridiculous", said Ukita who turned to get up and leave.

"Is it?" said L, "We are after a killer who can kill people without being in the room. It is just as likely that we are dealing with a hypnotist as well."

Ukita then sat down again, with more interest.

"Since we are talking about, Kira I also have some evidence on him as well", said L, "As you can see in the graph, most of Kira's killings happen at night from around 3:00pm to 10:00pm.

The graph showed the number of criminals dying of heart attacks. The tallest graphs were at the times that L said.

"During school hours however there are no criminal deaths", said L, which was right on the graph the time during the hours of school there was no deaths.

"So you're saying Kira is a student?" asked Matsuda.

"Exactly", said L.

"So what do you want us to do search every student and hypnotist until we find Kira and Zero?" asked Aizawa sarcastically.

"No, I don't expect you to search them, but at least we know something against our adversaries and it will become useful", said L.

"So we now know that Zero's a hypnotist, Kira's a student. Any other pieces of information L?" asked Mr. Yagami.

"Not much now, but as we continue this investigation I'm sure something will pop up", said L, "Now that we have met I hope we can catch theses criminals. Come here tomorrow at 9:00 am."

With that the meeting ended and L's new team left.

"I'm onto you Kira and Zero', thought L as he turned off his computer and went to bed.

Meanwhile….

"Ohhh, Light I'm glad you're home", said Mrs. Yagami.

"Yeah, my friend I had to tutor had a hard time understanding the homework so I had to stay over late", said Light innocently.

"Well while you were gone, this came in the mail", said Mrs. Yagmi handing him an envelope.

It was an acceptance letter to AshfordAcademy.
