Answer

"...turned at least one key in one lock" means that ("until") his investigator found a clue or a lead that would help them solve the mystery. A key (a clue) would help unlock the lock on a door (a mystery).

"Not that that angle was going anywhere yet" means that that train of thought wasn't producing any conclusive results. In the context you provided, it means that waiting and letting his investigator find a connection or lead to solve the mystery hasn't provided any good results yet.
