The telefone number and the cell phone entry Buchard made disappear from Nannas cell phone concerned Jens Holck, the leader of the Moderate Party în Copenhague's municipal government, with whom Nanna had a love affair (in summer). Buchard made disappear any hint to higher politicians. Doing this, he acted on demand of somebody in higher position, the movie never makes clear who this person is (or: these persons are).
Buchard never intended to restrain the police investigation, he "only" wanted to cover up a high politician of whom he thought he had nothing to do with the crime. Later on, when it turns out that [= when it looks like] Jens Holck in fact has to do with Nannas killing, Buchard corrects himself and gives Lund (and Meyer) the eliminated informations.
When Lund asks him (outside, in the street, on his last walk to the police headquarter) WHO had made him do this, he doesn't answer. Now, he covers up the "instructing party" (on whose behalf he had acted). So this is maybe Buchard's greatest error: He always covers up the wrong persons.
Buchard then is replaced by Lennart Brix, because of the "irregularities" of his investigation, as the new boss explains.
Buchard tells Lund about the rape in the most detailed and abominable way in order to maker her stay and clear up the crime. (Lund is still on her way to Sweden.)
The murderer wanted to remove any hints to identify him. He did not leave finger prints and any genetical material, like skin particles under the victim's finger nails. Therefore he cleaned and clipped her nails.
English is not my first language. Any corrections are welcome.
