Yes, which means they were involved in the case. Takano applied pressure to bury all the Watanagashi murder cases since she was involved in all of them. It would have been inconvenient for the police to reopen them.

Oishi runs the license plate number of one of the vans in Tatarigoroshi-hen and nothing suspicious turns up. The police ignore it despite the fact that it was the last thing he does before disappearing, so obviously there was nothing that could endanger them.

They would only have had to search the room of the murder and that would take them a few minutes since they were professionals. They would have finished by the time the police reached Keichi in the phone booth and long before they reached his house.

Keiichi's only wish is to for the truth about the incident to be revealed. Even if he was crazy, he'd have no reason to destroy that evidence.
