It's still a valid theme, I suppose. All three chain rooms occur immediately following a First Twilight (though in ep6, it isn't a "Second Twilight"). At this time, the life status of most of the individuals is known and their location is also known. For anyone to be capable of maneuvering, they need some kind of excuse (faked death in ep1, unreported location in ep5, location check dodge in ep6). They must essentially be "free from the red." Battler only asks for confirmation of things he's seeing; the person who is operating in the darkness outside the narration also avoids having their actions so constrained.
But because these events happen so early, the possible list of culprits repeatedly narrows in each case. In ep6 it is narrowed so tightly that we know with absolute certainty who was in the room (Battler, Erika, and Kanon), and when.
