This is the single most important thing that has frustrated me in the first 10 or so episodes I've seen so far (with the others being how everyone is inexplicably scared shitless of the little brat, and some implausible murders he pulls, conveniently always off-screen - why would a trained police officer eat a candy handed to him by a complete stranger is anyone's guess, for instance). Even if a killer had a super-genius level intellect there is just no way that he could predict that his primary target would open that specific candy (or open any gift at all) and even share it with the two other secondary targets, who just happened to be in the room at the same time.

That is not a feat of high intelligence, as Inspector Lunge remaked, but of literally seeing the future. So unless Johan was the real target the murder(?) of the three doctors makes a nice round zero of sense. If the doctors were the true targets then their murder is the most improbable and implausible of all murder stories I've ever encountered. I wanted to spoil myself just a little bit to see if this was addressed later on, and I am disappointed to find out that it wasn't :/
