Chapter 23
Yotsuba
L's POV
Misa continued to comment on how unusual it was for me to have a wife. I was still rather depressed and Light-kun was even more annoyed with my lack of motivation. The only happy thing, was that Elena had chosen names. Both were unique and beautiful.
"Valcan, Anastasia."
I smiled to myself. I loved them both. After about a month, they stopped wondering about why no one was allowed on the top floor. After another month it was starting to become clear that Elena was pregnant. The fact that she had to say Ricardo was the father made my blood boil.
It started out like any other day. Light-kun was at the computer, and I was just sitting in my chair.
"Ryuzaki, I know you have no motivation but come look at this for a second."
I sighed but moved over to Light. My eyes went wide when I looked at the screen.
"Ready to get to work now?" Light asked me.
"If this is connected to Kira, then killing criminals may not be the true goal of this Kira." I said.
Everyone walked over and I felt Elena's hand on my shoulder. Her touch always made me feel warm.
"It's possible that he's killing criminals as a camouflage while he kills for monetary reasons." Light-kun said.
"You once said that if an adult had this power, he would use it for his own benefit or to make money. This would fit that."
"Although, since Kira and the second Kira existed at the same time. This might be and entirely different Kira. Different from the one who was killing criminals." Elena said.
"Impressive work Yagami-kun."
"Thanks."
I almost didn't hear Matsuda when he said,
"I helped a lot with this too Ryuzaki."
I looked at Elena.
"You have a doctor's appointment don't you?"
"I'm rescheduling. With this new lead…"
"I'd feel better if you went."
"I'm fine Ryuzaki."
"Please go make sure you and your baby are okay."
"Going tomorrow won't make a difference."
If I argued further there was a fifteen percent chance the others would get suspicious.
"Very well, though I think it's a mistake."
"Duly noted." She said.
I rolled my eyes and looked back at the screen.
"It's all thanks to this new system that allows us access to the police, public and media data from all over the world. At first I didn't know what to look for but I started based on the idea that Kira was in Japan and searched based on that. It's a fact that that a majority of those killed are in Japan. And when you compare the deaths with media coverage, it's clear that Kira gets his information from these Japanese sources. Since Kira kills with heart attacks, I thought there may be some victims that we haven't been able to pin on him yet. So, I searched for all the people who died of heart attacks up to now, including non-criminals. That would usually be an incredible amount of work, and it honestly would have gone faster if you'd helped, but thankfully this system made it relatively easy." Light-kun explained.
Matsuda once more repeated himself.
"I helped a lot on this, Ryuzaki."
"I planned to go over every heart attack over the last five months with agent Wolf's help but I quickly noticed three suspicious cases. Two could be coincidences, but not three." He said.
I had to agree with him.
Elena's POV
As I listened to Light's explanation, it was becoming clear that Kira was backing a certain business or cooperation.
"Sekimaru corp's VP of development, Tamiya Roppei, Aoi Industries director of Integrated Systems, Aoi Kouji,, and former Yotsuba vice-president Takeyoshi Moriya. All three were in important positions in the Japanese business world. All of them died of heart attacks. So, I researched all three companies and found that Yotsuba's stock has been rising steadily while the other two have plummeted."
"So, you did further research into other deaths involving people in the business world…?"
"Exactly, and look…"
I started thinking again. About Naomi in particular. She was a strong woman, even after losing Rey she would've never taken her own life. She would never do such a thing unless…
"Kira can kill in ways other than heart attacks!"
L and Light spoke before I could say anything.
"And it all leads back to Yotsuba. Ryuzaki I'll gather all the information I can from the FBI database."
"How much can you get?"
I smiled.
"Anything you want. Nothing is beyond my reach." I told Matsuda.
He smiled and I looked at L.
"I'll make a few calls, it shouldn't take me very long."
"Thank you, Valentina."
I smiled at him and he gave me a little smile in return.
"I'll be back."
I took out my phone and walked out into the hall.
"Kyle, it's me."
"You're still in Japan? I thought you were coming back."
"Kira hasn't been caught yet, I won't leave until he is. I need you to get as much information as you can on a Japanese company called Yotsuba."
"You know the boss could fire me for this."
"I'll take full responsibility. I really appreciate this."
"I'll get everything I can and send it to you. You'll have it by at least six your time."
"Thanks Kyle."
I hung up and went back in to the others.
"I'll have all the information I can by six."
"Nice work!" Light said.
I nodded but that was it. I still didn't like him or trust him.
