[Poland's been eavesdropping on Touko for a bit-- so if this question is super dumb it's totally her fault and you should definitely yell at her instead.]
Is something like that true? If two people get offed in one person's murder plot and a third or even fourth person accidentally gets caught up in it too, do the rules prevent everyone after the first two from dying?
Now, as to your question. There's no need to worry about it. We would prevent such a thing from happening, but that shouldn't impact the investigation. It wouldn't be something such as, all the meals were poisoned, all the drinks in the bar were poisoned, but we only allowed two to die from it by magic or some such nonsense.
We would simply interfere to prevent any plot that was going to be quite so sloppy. On the other hand, when you have grey areas where a plot isn't sloppy but could go wrong, I'm not entirely sure it would be handled the same way every time. But the answer that a third person was poisoned but we prevented their death would never be acceptable as a mystery for trial.
To make a long answer short, you needn't worry about this topic, hence why I did not answer. If you need to know, I will assuredly clarify.

That has nothing to do with you.

If I wanted to ask an irrelevant question because I was curious, I'd ask you your first name.

You've never thought to ask. It's Doris, darling.

W-what? Seriously we just had to ask?
