Snippet #2221211

Hideyeki opened the folder and glanced into it as he listened to 'Peter' speak. Indeed he did recognize some of the names in this folder as he had written them down in the Death Note himself. He was never intending on being too cautious about what country or state he was in, so it didn't surprise him too much that this C found out that he was here in Japan after taking the dates and times of death, as well as when and where they were broadcasted into account.

The young police officer raised his brow and attention from the folder as he was shown the screen of a laptop and three faces. They were criminals, and bad ones too. The kind that made his blood boil a bit with the things they have done. They definitely shouldn't be allowed to taint this planet any longer with their horrible stenches, or so he would think. His opinion might be too similar to Kira's, but that was obvious.

"Yes, it seems that even the part of me that laughs at any claim of supernatural power is in agreement with you on that one." he said as he moved his gaze to Peter. "I can't see any poison doing this kind of work, and any other weapon I can possibly comprehend is out of the question." he closed his eyes and took a small breath in before opening them, allowing Peter to continue before speaking again.

This plan was great, he had to admit. They were catching on, and quick. He needed someway to convince them not to use this, for it would only help them in the end. Outright denying it would not bode well for him. Either they'd think he wasn't too bright, or they would possibly even suspect him of justifying Kira's actions - which of course he did, but nobody could know that - so what option was there left? Appealing to their morality? That, though as flawed as it could turn out to be, was the only feasible option in this situation.

"You would have us offer up people to Kira?" he asked, his eyes narrowing a bit. "I will admit that it sounds like it may turn out to be effective if Kira does in fact have limitations to his supernatural abilities. But can we honestly do such a thing?" he questioned. "Would that make us no better than Kira himself? We could just be giving him free bait and I'll admit that there's probably nobody else who deserves such a thing more than them, but it would feel wrong." he mentally cursed in his head, for he knew that the chief would have no problem accepting a plan like this if it sounded like it'd produce results, and it did. This argument had barely any means in which to support it, so he feared it would be smacked down and he would end up having to watch these criminals on live television.

What should I do now? There's no way the chief's going to decline a plan like that - it's brilliant. Too brilliant. I could simply just kill all three of the men, couldn't I? No, then they might come back to suspect me in the end if they figure out the name and face requirement for the Death Note. Then do I simply let them find out? No, I can't.... can I? I might have to at this rate. They're bound to put up precautions if they discover that flaw. I can think of a plan later, right now I need to focus.
