...In any case. I believe that's a fair working theory at this point - if we assume the poison or the drug used was one of the prizes, we should think about the other. The skeleton key wouldn't have been useful in this case, and the gonne ostensibly was already present in the house.
Ammunition and poison? Poison and a secret passage leading to the chapel to avoid suspicion of being caught on the grounds early in the morning? Those are the only items I would really think matter in this case.
If the culprit needed an easy escape, but didn't want to draw any attention to themselves walking away from the chapel and toward the mansion, then it would make sense! It would give them a chance to sneak out and sneak back in through a completely different route.
That would be very convenient. The murderer would then, of course, have plotted a murder revolving around the chapel, and having heard that May and Kaoru would be there, incorporated them into their plans somehow.

Two people to frame, though... it's too much. They couldn't have known Kaoru wasn't going to show up.

...It would have to go underground, then, if it exists. It would certainly be helpful in placing yourself far from the scene of the crime.

Still. That isn't evidence more than it is conjecture.
