After Light and Misa were cleared, everyone seemed to just forget about that
there's more than one kira. What was up with that? I seem to recall Light
instructed Misa to make a response to the task force's kira video, then L
deduced that the two kiras have met, then Light and Misa were confined, then
Soichiro fake shoots them and then they try to catch Higuchi. While trying to
catch Higuchi and thereafter, has everyone just forgotten that there's more
than one kira? Did anyone find it suspicious that there seems to have been
only one kira around? Maybe they thought that the two kiras were acting as
one?

Based on a comment I made here: [Why didn't the Task Force capture Misa
Amane?](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/23695/why-didnt-the-task-
force-capture-misa-amane#comment37106_23695)

What happened to the second kira?


There's nothing to expect from the Task Force. Their main brains were L, Light
and Near.

L proposed that Misa is the second Kira, but he was proved wrong because of
the fake shot scene by Light's father. So inside the Task Force's mind, the
claim that Misa is the second Kira became false, thus the claim of second Kira
was probably forgotten too by the Task Force.

After Higuchi's capture part, L still didn't forget his claim about the second
Kira and Kira = Light, because L wanted to test the truth of 13-day rules.
Unfortunately he didn't live long.

Task Force is just a group of subordinates who receive the orders and execute
the orders. They are not the leader of the team. They just follow their
leader's instruction. They didn't have insight like L and Near, plus they
believes in Light, so they just did their job according to Light's
instructions. Even though Aizawa doubted Light after Near emerges, he still
didn't have enough brain to prove Light = Kira, and he just had doubt, not
confirmation.

As part of a team, Japanese values teamwork and harmony in a team, so they
follow their leader. As for the guy who doubted Light, he chose to follow
Near's instruction.

They did not forget that there were possibly two Kiras. The task force stopped
pursuing that objective due to L throwing the theory out after the shot scene
as posted about.

If L didn't pursue the theory, then it was forgotten as the task force had
already been proven powerless to stop Kira, which is why L was there in the
first place.

Perhaps the individual members still pondered if there were two Kiras or not,
but they were not free to pursue their own opinions given their individual
positions.

It has been a while since I watched Death Note, but this is my answer from
what I remember.

I don't think they forgot about the Second Kira, at least not entirely. After
the fake firing scene, they concluded that Light and Misa are not the Kiras.

Later Light turned out to be Kira, but I don't think they never had any reason
to suspect Misa again. Also, the task force got hold of one of the Death
Notes. So, they probably might have thought that since they have one with them
and Kira has another one, Second Kira didn't have a Death Note anymore and so
is no longer a threat.

That's what I think.
