After a week in prison, Light Yagami forfeits the Death Note and his memories associated with it. Light and Misa's life are seemingly threatened in order to get a confession from them but the bluff leaves L at an impasse. L then decides to set up a new base of operation, putting Misa under surveillance and having Light always be handcuffed to him as they both seek out the truth around Kira.
Light finds a new lead on the case whereupon the new suspects are the Yotsuba Corporation, Light also deduces that Kira can kill in ways other than a heart attack. The Shinigami Rem has given her Death Note to one of the members so to remove suspicion from Light and Misa. However, this new Kira is killing white collar criminals involved in corporate demeanours as well as making bribes to the Japanese government. The police refuse to chase Kira further, forcing task force members to resign as police and work under L. All except one detective Aizawa, who despises L's methods, he instead chooses to be closer to his family investigate Kira on his own terms.
L hires a conman and burglar, Aiber and Wedy to infiltrate the Yotsuba corporation. But the detective Matsuda acts alone as Misa's manager and is soon caught eavesdropping on their meetings. L devises a plan to fake Matsuda's death and soon afterwards they bug the Yotsuba meeting room.
