The Poison Trial

Chapter 1
Tariko, Kai and their three children were at a convention in Nannyatropolis, In 2017, it had to be delayed because of a protester shooting a teenager.

”Your three be nice to other cosplayers, okay?” Tariko said.

“ (Okay, Mommy!)” Setsuko said.

Kai and Setsuko walked around the convention while Tariko and the boys walked around the convention hall.

They saw a DIO cosplayer walking towards the Pocky stall.

”Tom, Buying Pocky, pay you back.” He said in broken English.

An Part 3 Joseph cosplayer then spoke, Thomas Michalis was a man in his 50’s-60’s,

”That’s coming out your allowance, Andrei.” He said.

Andrei turned to the stall owner.

”Two Pocky, please.” Andrei said.

The owner handed him two boxes of Pocky and he opened one of them.

”Thank you.” He said before placing a stick into his mouth.

He felt a weird taste with them, but dismissed them because he thought it was the air condition in the convention and continued to eat them.

“Mike, want some?” Andrei asked Trevor, a Part 2 Joseph cosplayer.

”Thank you, Andrei.” Mike said as he took the piece of candy from Andrei.

Andrei continued to eat them, then he felt himself gag, Mike noticed this and thought Andrei choked on it.

”You alright?” He asked.

”Yes, Fine.” Andrei replied back.

Tariko and the boys looked on, the DIO cosplayer looked ill after eating the sticks, he ate at least half of the packet shortly before his ill fate and held them alongside the other unopened box.

The DIO cosplayer walked away alongside the others.

“Mom, was he okay?” Toshio asked.

”I don’t know, It doesn’t seem to be an allergy because the old guy didn’t forbid him and showed no signs of being allergic.” Tariko said.

Tariko got out her phone and texted Kai “Kai-kun, Don’t buy any Pocky, There’s something wrong with it, Warn Setsuko.”

“Boys, Don’t buy any Pocky sticks at the moment.” She warned the two.

A few hours later, The family heard a thump, aswell as someone frothing and vomiting.

Andrei fell to the ground, he had finished the first box and was digging into the second box when he suddenly collasped and began to be sick.

”ANDREI!” They heard a girl shout.

”Andrei....He’s vomiting.....Help!” Tom shouted.

An Erina cosplayer ran to other attendees,

”Please call a doctor, our DIO cosplayer collasped!” She cried out.

”Tom......hurts......” Andrei spoke weakly, he began to cough up blood.

Tariko went over to the scene, Andrei threw up again, Tariko tried hard to stay when Andrei began to bleed from his eyes and nose, it frightened Tariko.

”Help.....me....” Andrei whimpered.

Tariko then dialed the emergency number.

”Get Sophie and Reicheru on, there has been an incident at the convention, please come immediately.” She called.

Tariko noticed that Mike, the Part 2 Joseph cosplayer looked quite ill and stayed on the ground, Tariko went to comfort him.

”I think it was the Pocky.“ Tariko said.

”I thought so too, I felt my mouth go all cold when I ate a piece that Andrei gave me.” He said.

He coughed and Tariko fetched him a bucket to be sick in.

Soon after the vomiting had past, he turned to speak.

”When I saw Andrei, I forbid my sons from buying Pocky and running out to the vendor and told my husband to tell our daughter the same thing.” She said.

”You’re a good mom.” Mike said.

” (Tom, It hurts!)” He said before fainting.

Tariko went over to check his pulse.

”He...He’s dead.” She said.

Paramedics arrived at the scene and saw the dead cosplayer lying on the ground.

Tariko went over to a paramedic

”The man lying on the ground is dead.” She said.

”We will have to perform an autopsy a day after his death.” The paramedic said.

”Help Mike, He’s been poisoned aswell, Andrei took more than the lethal dose.” She said.

The female paramedic helped Mike outside, she took the bucket with them.

Chapter 2: Autopsy
Parts of Andrei’s liver, stomach, kidney and right lung were removed and sent for testing with consent of his family.

The toxicologist assigned to the case was with Tariko and looked at the tissue underneath a microscope.

”I’m very baffled, I have never seen such damage to human organ tissue before, It’s a form of industrial rat poison, I think.” She said.
