I think "passing through hands" is a phrase that refers to the changing of possession. So if I say a jacket "passed through my hands" that means I once possessed the jacket and no longer do. If the key "passed through no one's hands" that means that it did not change possession.

But you cannot quote me as saying hands refers to possession because I never wrote that.
I think "it passed through no one's hands" means no one opened the envelope and touched the key.
Again, it does not say "it passed through no one else's hands" it says "it passed through no one's hands".
