Aka even went out of his way to show the crow god at the start of the chapter. Deus Ex Machina incoming. It's really frustrating when he keeps doing things for shock value but will never follow through on them.

No, they won't wash off immediately, fingerprints can be detected up to 6 weeks after being submerged, but most likely they'll be unrecognizable after 10 days. Which is still plenty of time to retrieve the knife from a body. Yes, from a body, because knife MOST LIKELY won't slip out of wound by itself, due to something called greater omentum, which is apron-like fat structure, which in case of stabbing abdomen, will wrap itself around object that punctured you, trying to hold to that object and create some sort of "seal" around the wound.
And in criminal cases, really, detectives aren't that closed minded, that they just look at one wound and say "well, that's what killed him". They REALLY depend on opinions from autopsy made by forensic pathologists.
But how would he be found that quickly? Nobody knows what has happened yet or where In the ocean they fell, so it's very likely that by the time they find the body (IF they find the body. It's the ocean, 1000s of bodies go missing there and are never found) most of the more incriminating forensic evidence would be gone. Honestly it's likely they don't even find the knife, given the fact that he pulls it out of him before they fall over the cliff together.

Plus, signs of a struggle aren't necessarily the smoking gun you make it sound. His dad (who the whole world will know is his dad I assume by the time a case is underway) is someone aqua is related to, and therefore someone he'd feasibly let his guard down towards (in the eyes of the general public anyway). The lack of struggle from the stab wound could be interpreted as kamiki luring aqua away to a secluded place and shanking him before he has any time to react. (Again, it will be hard to find their bodies within the 10 day time frame because they've both plummeted into the ocean in a place with no witnesses where nobody currently knows a scuffle has occurred).

Given the absolute career and character assasination 'the 15 year lie' eventually leads to for kamiki, not only will the public's perception be heavily biased against him but he now has such a crystal clear motive for killing aqua that it'd be weird for the police not to take it into account. They haven't been reading the manga lol. They have no idea how far aqua has gone in the name of revenge, and in their eyes a promising 18 - 19 year old upstart (barely out of his teens) would have no reason to kill himself and throw his father off a cliff just before his big movie blows up. It makes much more sense the other way around - kamiki kills his secret child in a hysterical fit of rage after his 'crimes' are revealed and, in his own words, the movie "kills him socially" - He'll be judged, hated and condemned for the rest of his life.

Hopefully the media digs up dirt on them after deaths are reported and they find out about kamiki's other murders (or murder instigations lol). As unlikely as this is, even finding out what happened to yura could be the thing that puts the nail in the coffin in terms of how active a role the public thinks he played in their deaths.

Name a better combination than Aqua and self sacrifice :worry:

Build an equal relationship with Akane
God I wanted to see them working as hitman together. At least some copium to make up for the sunken ship :meguuusad:
Now'd be a great time for her to have planted a GPS transponder on Aqua but he probably chose his timing with Akane unable to watch over him in mind.
This show needs another Akane, she can only protect one sibling at a time. Kanna is sadly (almost) useless in that aspect...

Kamiki was caught off guard by Aqua's resolve so much, he got thrown over a fence well over 1m in height by a person at least seriously, probably fatally injured. :nyoron:
