[Death Note] If Light had never fallen for L's trap and therefore failed to kill 'Lind L. Tailor', then what else could 'L' have done to trick Kira into providing information about himself? Was that broadcast ruse potentially L's only truly promising play in the early days of the Kira Investigation?

L already suspected that Kira was in Japan based off of his operating hours. Killing the fake L was just the plan that worked; he would have had other plans ready to go in case it failed.

It's L. His plans upon plans upon plans would make Tzeentch smile.
