When the Fujiwara family displayed filial piety, a similar scene was unfolding at the police station.
Minamoto Tamako and Fushimi Roku's testimonies were too bizarre for the police to accept, so they had no choice but to have an identification officer conduct a urine test.
Even though Minamoto Tamako repeatedly insisted it was true and vividly described the situation at the time, it was still to no avail and instead raised concerns among others.
Fushimi Roku remained more composed, speaking with an air of 'believe it or not,' making the interrogation officer guide the questioning involuntarily: "Is it possible that you ate something hallucinogenic..."
"I don't know, I'm not sure, but I was completely sober at the time."
Whenever questioned about food poisoning-related matters, Fushimi Roku started to equivocate. If he killed Fukuyama Toshin in an uncontrollable state, he might be held legally responsible.
