People are beginning to be nervous. It must be more than just a coincidence. In just a few weeks, nearly a hundred people suspected or convicted of crimes have died. People are beginning to suspect the wrath of a higher being. This has concerned many and has been discussed within INTERPOL, the international organization of police departments. However, solving a phenomenon like this does not seem likely to them. Even the world-wide law enforcement agency has been stumped by the malevolent force.

In order to begin reassure the world that the problem would be solved, he makes his first public appearance on television.
"Attention people of the world. I am heading the investigation on finding the murderer of criminals throughout the world, known throughout Japan as Kira. My name is Lind L. Tailor, also known as L. Criminals around the world are being killed by a serial killer. I consider this act to be the most atrocious group of murders throughout the history of man.

Let's meet again soon."
