I think this is a faulty way of thinking. Ryu won't think that far to tell us "assume the killer acted knowing they were going to do an eventual police investigation." Remember in Higurashi, how Miyo was reported missing and they assumed the burned corpse was hers, but after a while the police realized it wasn't? If we assume that she was afraid of a police investigation, she would have made it more airtight since it's fairly easy for an investigator to just do an autopsy and realize it isn't the same person. If we assume they are trying to keep their murder from the police, we might be over-estimating the answer.
