The authorities have put together that someone is behind all of the criminals suffering unexpected heart attacks. An anonymous detective is assigned to the case, someone who uses the name L. Light sees a broadcast where L reveals himself to the world, and takes the opportunity to kill him with the notebook. After the person dies, it's revealed that the person who announced this was a criminal, and they've just proven that Light (although he is known online as "Kira") is able to kill at a distance. L also reveals that the broadcast he was watching was only shown in a particular district. So they've narrowed down his location substantially.
For a very light plot, it moved along very well. Plus, an additional rule is revealed - anyone else who touches the notebook will be able to see the otherworldly creature that follows Light around. In order to defend against this, Light actually puts together a pretty ingenious trap in his drawer.
The moral and ethical implications of the story have started to get more interesting. Light is clearly too cocky about his power. But he's still pretty bright, and he seems to not be entirely ruthless with his power. But there's still the implication that he might be.
