In the early chapters, they just say that the 3 victims (heinemann's team) were found dead with poison in their system and a candy wrap near them : which leads to the theory that Johan (or someone working for him, but at 11 years old I doubt it) poisoned them and put candy near them to let the police think that they were killed this way. To me, there is no way they could already be poisoned when we see them unpack and eat them : I don't think Johann was aimed at this rate. Then, Runge tells Tenma that the poison can be found in a certain medicine : how easy could it be then for Johann to steal some in the hospital ?

But anyway, I don't think Urasawa thought it this far : it just seems too fragile to be an important element in the plot, aside from the candy signature and the fact that Johann killed them to show his gratitude to Tenma...
