I think there is a plot among the adults to kill according to the epitaph. Rudolf, Kyrie, Rosa, Eva and Hideyoshi can be in on it because they want to force Kinzo to reveal the gold by threatening him with murders like that. Krauss and Natsuhi might be in on it because it is a good opportunity to get rid of Rudolf, Eva and Rosa and get the inheritance for themselves. Krauss and Natsuhi can also have Genji and Nanjo on their side.
The idea of such a plot can be backed by for example Rudolf in ep 1 knowing that he might die (knowing that something is going on) and how the 6 closed rooms in ep 3 can easily be explained if all the adults were in on the crime.
The reason for each arc to actually end up like it does is because during the "discussion" between the siblings during the night, different adults survive as the mastermind of that arc.
In the first arc, Natsuhi survives having killed the others (except for Eva and Hideyoshi who left early) and hidden them in the shed. She is having Kanon burn Kinzo's corpse and having Genji kill Eva and Hideyoshi in their room. Kanon lies about having discovered Eva and Hideyoshi with Genji so that no one will know that he burnt Kinzo's body. He later fakes his death in the boiler to get to talk to Nanjo and Nanjo lets Kanon escape. After everyone shuts themselves into the study, Genji (or Nanjo) plants the letter from Beatrice and Maria, Kumasawa, Nanjo and Genji is banished to the parlor. Kanon arrives the parlor, having aquired a Winchester and Genji who didn't know that Kanon was actually alive, suspects Kanon for having his own plan and tries to kill him. During the struggle, Nanjo, Kumasawa and Genji end up dead while Kanon prepares a letter to lure the mastermind (Natsuhi) out on her own to kill her. He does this in order to guarantee Jessica and the others' safety and afterwards he escapes the island before the landslide destroys the mansion.
In the second arc, Rosa survives the "discussion" and prepares the scene in the chapel. Afterwards, she kills Kanon and Jessica with Genji and maybe Shannon (this is backed by Rosa saying they went to Kinzo, not knowing that Kinzo can't be in the study because he is dead). They hide Kanon's body in order to frame him (Rosa immediatly comes up with a Kanon culprit theory that Battler disproves because of the unexpected key). Genji later creates the lie that Kanon attacked them and convinced the other servants to go along. This was in order to make absolutely sure that Kanon is framed as the criminal.
In the third arc, the murders actually go as planned for the adults, and they all survive. However, Eva solves the riddle and finds the gold and therefore betrays the adults and commit the rest of the murders (except for Nanjo's murder which could've been done by for example George that everyone though was dead).
In the fourth arc, during the discussion many people die as usual and someone kidnaps the survivors to Kuwadorian (and lets Gohda and Kumasawa escape with a guarantee for their safety if they lie about everything being done with magic.
All the phone calls can be done if the kidnapper forces them to say what they say in the phone to guarantee the childrens' safety.
I also believe that the one responsible for the accident in all arcs is one of the servants that "shouldn't be on the island". This might be the one called Renon (which is a woman) and can therefore be the servant who represents Gaap. It also makes sense when Gaaps power is portals that the person X which could be anywhere at any time represents her. This person might have originally been a part of the initial plot, however she arrives too late (after the first twilight so that there is never more than 18 people) because of the Typhoon. She then rigs the landslide and escapes the island before it happens. In the fourth arc, she might even be the one playing "Beatrice" in front of Battler (after killing the "real" culprit in that arc).
I hadn't read Chiru when making this theory though, so I can't be sure that it fits in there too...
