Here's the symbolism.
If you are an assassin, you use a silencer. This is exactly
how MP Helena Guergis is being used.
The real assassin is released from the hospital but nobody
knows who it is because it is not prudent to discuss what happened. The
decoy, Helena Guergis, who knows absolutely
nothing about what happened, gets all the publicity that belongs to an
inquiry about he death
of Mario Laguë.
When the trail gets cold, the culprits will talk about the
trauma of having killed Mario Laguë in a
terrible accident, to justify the previous silence, but the poignant truth
behind the "silencer" betrays the established, investigative
standard: "It's not the crime, it's the cover
up, stupid."
