I'm not sure if I'm right but I think the chapel key was found in the room Kumasawa was found in, since they said that the key to parlor (Shannon's corpse) was found inside the chapel. I might be stretching it but maybe figuring out the order of when they died could be clue?

Spoiler:

The order is quite simple if you take a time to think about it.

Its useless to think about the master keys, it leads to a dead end, the culprit used the specific keys to locks the doors. How can you know it? the answer is in the chapel and in the boiler room.

Lets review the case:
The first body to be found was shannon's, it was in a locked room in the first floor and next to her body was the key to the room they found kumasawa.

The next key lead to gohda's corpse, the next one to genji's and genji had the key to the boiler room.
Next to kinzo's charred body was the last key to the chapel so the order that the doors were opened was:

shannon -> kumasawa -> gohda -> genji -> kinzo -> kanon

Now here are two details:

1-THE BOILER ROOM HAVE TWO DOORS. A FRONT DOOR AND A BACK DOOR.
If the culprit could somehow enter and leave by the back door (that was never mentioned in ep 3 but was surely there in ep 1) using a different key or something like that, he could visit the boiler room even after leaving the front door key in genji's corpse.

2- The only key that can open the chapel's door is the chapel's key, so kanon died before shannon.

So we can estabilish it like that:

The culprit entered the boiler room, locked the door and left by the back door (it doesnt matter if kinzo was killed now or later)...and then he obtained the boiler room's key.
Then he moved to the honored guest room and killed genji, leaving the boiler room key there.
The next one was gohda, where he left the key to the previous door...and then kumasawa and finally shannon.
After killing shannon the culprit moved to the chapel, killed kanon and locked the door with the chapel key.

Finally he came back to the boiler room by the backdoor and left the chapel key there.

So the order was:

(kinzo?) -> genji -> gohda -> kumasawa -> shannon -> kanon -> back at boiler room
-----------

This reasoning isnt perfect, its based in the fact that the backdoor was NEVER MENTIONED in ep 3 and therefore, never had its possibility of being used denied in red.

Its a cheap move i know, but cheap moves are the speciality of witches =(
