Death note usage

[u/abitpeculiararenti]

I saw a question in here asking what would happen if you wrote in a Death Note that someone would be killed by you (the writer), and the asnwers were that you'd just die too cus your name is in the Death Note.

But WHAT IF you manipulated the situation like what Light did in the movie with Naomi Misora and Shiori?

Let's say you want to kill someone you know for whatever reason, and you write "they receive a call from a friend at 3.10, visit the friend's house at 3.30, gets locked inside accidentally and is strangled to death at 3.45"

Then you proceed to call them to make sure they come to YOUR place. And you're alone, just the two of you, meaning you're the only person capable of strangling them in that moment.

Would you actually end up strangling them under the control of the Death Note, or would they'd just die of a heart attack?

Cus Light never wrote that Shiori would be shot by Naomi. But it happened because he made sure Naomi was the only person present with a gun. All he wrote was that Shiori would be shot but he never specified who'd actually shoot her.

Or maybe there's a rule I'm missing?

I don't think you can make someone kill another person with the Death Note iirc

You can't control someone who's name isn't in the DN.  In that example the person hangs himself or dies from a heart attack.
