There's a massive problem with your theory regarding the laundry chute/dumbwaiter or whatever that thing is. Kounosu still cannot exit without a high chance of Kaitou noticing, and naturally being even more suspicious than if she had just walked in the door like any normal person would.
It's pretty hard to trust somebody when they've just crawled through a hole and they're approaching you with a weapon (and she needs one, otherwise she has no chance). To incapacitate Kaitou as quickly as possible to prevent noise and struggling, a knife would not work unless applied to the neck or stabbed through the skull. There was no such injury to the body. Kounosu cannot possibly successfully strangle Kaitou, either. Therefore, she must have had some sort of blunt object to KO him with a strike to the back of the skull, which means she's carrying at least two weapons. Even if we discount the arm and the huge amount of blood, based on what we've seen of her script Hongou would have specified an alternate fatal wound to take into account.

Which is wy she wasn't the one opning the door. Only two person's qualify to be the murder in this case - namely The guy who opened the door and Kounuso.
The latter got my attention when they stated in episode nine that the rope was relevant to the case in some way, before it was Katsuta. Since we never had a chance to examine whether the door was really closed it is also possible that he only pretended that it was locked in the first place.
Lets now assume the door was really closed, which does indeed only leave Kounosu, BUT just if you know about the rope.
Either way she would have trouble climbing up the chute without the rope, no matter if its a food elevator or a laundry chute.
There are several ways to enter the room but only one to leave.
(Except if you accept that thing next to the safe as a trapdoor but that would defeat the rope's purpose)
