Chapter 32 - 26. L gets a lead

Four days after Yuri started using Death Note, news about the terrorists finally came on TV.

"Breaking news! World's most wanted terrorist, Osama Bin Laden, has been found in Pakistan!

And Pakistani general Asim Munir has exposed Pakistan in front of the world. Currently, he is taking shelter in UK—"

"Breaking news! Asim Munir has mysteriously died after falling from the balcony of his hotel room! Investigations are underway—"

Bla bla bla.

Yuri went through the news, and everything happened exactly like she had written in the Death Note.

She did a good job by killing two of the most dangerous terrorists in the world. Now, it's interesting to see what USA will do.

Right now, it is busy in providing Iraq and Afghanistan 'freedom'. It just started around March or something this year.

And in her previous life, though USA found Osama Bin Laden a lot later, it still didn't really do anything against Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.

Though there is a case of deniability with Saudi, Pakistan was clearly supporting USA's enemy. Still, USA didn't really do much. In fact, it started supporting Pakistan under Trump's 2nd term.

So anyway, her next target is obviously USA, so that it stops its invasions. But she can't just kill USA's president along with ordering him to stop the wars.

With USA coming out of Iraq and Afghanistan, terrorist groups like Taliban and ISIS will become powerful.

Even if she writes that US President to order to take back the arms with the soldiers instead of just leaving them there for terrorists to take, there will undoubtedly be pressure from weapon's industry. Weapons and tech giants have too much of influence there.

So she will need proper research to execute her plan.

And she can't really search it on google, right?

That will make her a big suspect.

And there isn't really any VPN yet.

So... what if she gives Ryuk the job?

She turned back, and looked at Ryuk lying down on the mat and reading her manga with interest.

"Hey Ryuk, can you do something for me?"

--------------------------

In London, UK, the police, both British and FBI, were investigating the strange death of Asim Munir.

Even Watari was present.

"No matter how we look at it, it seems to be suicide. There are no signs of force, CCTV cameras are clear, and aside from cigarettes, there is no sign of substance abuse as well. So hallucination is out of question. There is no food poisoning as well."

The Chiefs of UK and US Police looked at Watari.

"We hope that L will also help in this investigation."

"Of course. He is also really interested in this case."

Meanwhile, L was looking at the videos and audios that came out of Pakistan, both from Asim Munir and CIA.

"That's strange..."

Osama Bin Laden's behaviour was very strange.

Talking about how he did 9/11 while brainwashing others is classic terrorist behaviour.

But, calling terrorism and jihad bad?

That goes against everything that makes a terrorist.

Afterall, despite being a well educated engineer, he chose to become a terrorist.

Normal Education doesn't deter terrorism, but makes them a lot more dangerous.

Afterall, well educated people develop an arrogance of being right most of the time.

So, what could have changed his mind?

And even if him changing his mind could be just him changing with time, Asim Munir is a different case.

Pakistani government is fully involved in hiding Osama. So, it's strange that Asim Munir will choose such a time to come to UK, to give proofs against his country and his military, thanks to which he has become a multi-millionaire.

Because of being from a high military background, he must have known that London isn't exactly a safe place for him, due to the large Pakistani immigrant population.

He didn't even bring his family to London. He doesn't have any mistress here.

Maybe... he could just be that stupid.

But L felt something wrong. Too convenient. As if someone is behind it, and wanted the proofs of Osama Bin Landen hiding in Pakistan to reach to the world.

So, he started looking at all the strange cases from USA, Pakistan and India.

And surprisingly, some high profile people from these USA countries have died in two days, though everything is overshadowed by Osama Bin Laden.

From USA, the most high profile scandal comes from Epstein.

He confessed everything, and pretty big names came out of his files.

And he had made sure that those files won't be able to be buried by sending it to China. Chinese state media to be exact.

Then he simply died due to heart attack.

It's similar to Osama Bin Laden's case, but there is a key difference.

There is no mention of any god in this case.

Other cases include the CEOs of companies like Coca Cola and who died after exposed the human rights violations in foreign countries, and even giving the names.

He looked at the cases from India.

From India, it was a well known politician that died. The leader of her party, in fact. From falling down the stairs.

But before dying, she exposed her party's involvement in many riots, many storage locations of black money, many sources of donations, including USA, Russia and China, and many things that no party leader will ever reveal.

Especially so close to elections.

And the same thing here. There is no mention of god like the case with Osama Bin Laden.

As if the person behind all this wanted to start a cult at first, but gave up.

And from the other similarities of the cases, the person seems interested in names of big time criminals.

And the person seems to be most likely be from India.

But... the person most likely wants him to think that he is from India.

Picking up targets from USA doesn't mean much in the context of determining the location of the culprit. Afterall, USA's soft power is too big, so being informed about it is easy.

So maybe the culprit is in China? Or Russia? He doesn't have any official data of strange cases since China and Russia don't co-operate with the world like others.

...Or maybe from a politically silent country.

He started with the other major economies in the world.

UK, nothing.

France, nothing.

Japan...

Two days ago, someone took children hostage in a school. And strangely died with a heart attack.

And this strange case happened before the others.

Maybe he has found some lead.
