"The second L, who I think is Kira, is Light Yagami," Near stated. "It isn't surprising that he cooperated with the NPA and now he's L. No choice.
"Lidner, I believe Mello is still staying in New York, correct?"

Along with Birdie and Allison, my eyes darted to Lidner.

"Yes," Lidner confirmed nervously.

"Then behind my back tell him when and where Gevanni will let Mogi and Aizawa out at..." As Near said this, Allison left the room. Birdie looked at me, expecting me to go after her; she frowned when she realized that I wasn't going to. I couldn't. "Actually, you can tell him everything except the fact that L is Light Yagami. I expect Mello will arrive at last to Light Yagami. If more than just our side investigates, we'll have a much higher possibility of knowing the second L's whereabouts and who the second Kira is."

"Commander Rester, I've asked too much of you, but could you please fly over to Japan?"

"Understood," said Rester. "I'll inquire about Light Yagami as much as possible in Japan."

"I can't thank you enough."

"Light Yagami. He's a grad student of To-Oh University, but after his graduation, nobody saw him in the grad school. Currently, the NPA has all their recruits hold false position titles for fear that they might be known as the staff of NPA. In 2000 and 2002, Light Yagami advised the NPA to the solution of certain cases and was given testimonials by the NPA. Considering these cases and his father, we should think that he now works for NPA. Plus, when I asked some former students about Light Yagami as a student of To-Oh University, I've got some strange answers which bothered me.
"Light Yagami passed the entrance exam with the highest score, but there was another one, whose name was Hideki Ryuga, the same name as a popular artist in Japan at that time, who also got the highest score. The two made a public address at the entrance ceremony. Ryuga often hung out with Light Yagami. The photo of Hideki Ryuga hasn't been found anywhere. Plus, I've got info that Hideki Ryuga, Light Yagami and Misa Amane met together at the University in June 2004, and since that time no one has seen Hideki Ryuga. Since then, for several months, both Light Yagami and Misa Amane were missing.
"Using the same alias as a popular artist, he became close to Light Yagami, who was suspected as Kira. It might have been his make-or-break gamble considering if his true name hadn't been known, he wouldn't have been killed even if his investigating was leaked. However, the second Kira, who was able to get names just by looking at faces, appeared, and Kira and the second Kira cooperated. It works out. Light Yagami, Kira, Misa Amane, the second Kira, and Hideki Ryuga, L."

"It becomes consistent with the report of the tailor that after Mogi and his friend left from here they headed for Misa Amane," noted Gevanni.

"This also agrees with the fact that Misa Amane is now the fiancée of Light Yagami," Lidner added.

"Near, this Kiyomi Takada the announcer of NHN, Japan," Rester began. "She was a classmate of Light Yagami in the university, and she had a special relationship with him."

"What do you mean by 'special?'" asked Near.

"I can't say with certainty, but it seems other classmates thought they were more than just friends," Rester explained. "I don't think this happened by chance."

"He has also been friends with Amane since the university," Gevanni pointed out.

"Near, over here I'm moving around as a close adviser to Takada. However, the bar has been raised, and it will still take a good amount of time."
