殺めて回った=Is 回る an auxiliary verb here? What does this compound mean?  
うちの一人=One person out of a group  
三十余人の中で=amongst 30 people of the other group  
最も迅速に=Fastest  
仕留められた=To dispose of/ To kill (potential)  
手段=Concrete way to reach a goal. 思い返す=Think back.

I tried to analyze how all of this ties together grammaticaly but I am no
sure.

> 黄理は今夜殺めて回ったうちの一人、三十余人の中で最も迅速に仕留められた手段を思い返す。  
>  Kiri, tonight one out of the people he killed, amongst those 30 of the
> other group he thinks back about the fastest way he was able to kill.

So rephrasing that

> Tonight amongst the 30 members of the other group he thinks back about the
> one of those who he killed with the fastest method.

Could It be parsed like this?

今夜殺めて回ったうちの一人 and 三十余人の中で最も迅速に仕留められた手段 are coordinates and both of them
together are the Direct object of 思い返す.

I do not understand why after  
黄理は今夜殺めて回ったうちの一人  
there is no conjunction to  
三十余人の中で最も迅速に仕留められた手段.  
I would think there would be some conjunction.

  * 今夜殺めて回ったうちの一人: one of those whom he went around and killed tonight
  * (三十余人の中で最も迅速に仕留められた→)手段: the method by which he could kill the quickest among over 30 people

The comma after 一人 indicates the author is rephrasing the part before it.
Honestly, I feel this part is a bit awkward, because the author is rephrasing
一人 to 手段 . But we can get the meaning, anyway.
