Light Yagami manipulates the task force by actively participating in the investigation, suggesting false leads to misdirect their attention, and framing others as potential suspects. He also uses his intelligence and charisma to gain the trust of the task force members, making it harder for them to suspect him as the real culprit. Additionally, he strategically plans alibis and creates situations that make it seem unlikely for him to be Kira, the name he goes by when using the Death Note.
