There's no good hints to assume this is what in fact happened, but there is still room for the author to mess with it without upsetting much of anything.

That wouldn't really square with the "undercover cop" theory though. The police wouldn't
actually kill Dr. Nanjo. Now, if he were already dead, that's one thing, but he'd have to die and have his death be covered up in some manner by the police or something. Even in Japan, I can't see them going quite that far.
Now if you want to argue he's some kind of yakuza assassin or something, maybe, but generally the police don't go around killing old men so they can impersonate them.
