Except that those very novels specifically state that all the kills till then were performed either by Kyouji's brother, or Johnny Black; Kyouji himself only went for Shino's apartment. And in those very novels, Kyouji himself has specifically stated that he had actually planned NOT to inject the drug that day even if it went against their plan, because he thought that Shino would be his after the tournament anyway...... until Kirito got into the picture. So, just because the the Death Gun plot involved breaking into the targets' house doesn't automatically mean that he actually did break into Shino's house when he had no real reason to because he wasn't even planning to follow the script. It is possible that he did break in after all the cave stuff... but that's not a certainty at this point. And, unlike what Geomodelrailroader is claiming, Kyouji most certainly neither lurked in/escaped through the balcony (he had a key to get in/out, so why would he need the balcony), nor did he need to be in the house to watch the stream, since he was watching it on a phone.
